Level-5 was a much different company when the game was first announced. It was a company focused on making great RPGs instead of adventure games — not that there is anything wrong with that. Along withNi no Kuni,Fantasy Lifelooks to be another great return to form for the studio and one that will fill a much-needed niche in the 3DS’ library....

DNF 2013 is based on levels from original DNF trailer Gearbox’sDuke Nukem Forevermay be a let down, but things are looking up with the release of a fan-made mod that recreatesDuke Nukem Forever‘s E3 2001 trailerin theDuke Nukem 3Dengine. The results are glorious. Let me tell you. I have rode a donkey at approx. 3 miles per hour while shooting pigs with a shotgun, as a nuclear explosion happens off in the distance....

In Japan Ah, the majestic amiibo. WithAnimal Crossingit has transcended a need for three dimensional form, reduce down to its utility: touch a thing against another thing. If thatdrinking gamewas enough to help you bearAnimal Crossing amiibo Festival— it’s not even enough to help me bear the stylized lowercase “a” — and you, for some reason, want moreAnimal Crossingcards? Well,wave threeof the cards are hitting Japan on January 14 of next year....

Get wet Look, doing whatever it takes to be the very best doesn’t come without sacrificing comfort sometimes. If there’s a Blastoise in the water, you damn well better get in the water. Otherwise, you’re just another jabroni with too many Zubats. A good number of Jacksonville locals showed their commitment to Pokémon training by wading into the Atlantic Ocean. Riding a Lapras probably would’ve kept them dry, but whatever. Convenience is an expendable secondary goal here....

Did you know they started as a publisher? Team17, the crazy minds behind theWormsseries, are returning to their roots and becoming a third-party publisher once more. The company started as a publisher 23 years ago, putting out such titles asAlien Breed, Super Stardust,and many more. Here’s why the studio went back into the publishing business: “Ultimately, the timing is right; Team17 is in a very fortunate position with a wealth of personal experience to share....

Updated: June 06, 2025 We added new codes! Wuthering Wavesis set on Solaris-3, a world affected by the lament. You are Rover, a hero in search of lost memories while trying to protect this planet from destruction. you may’t do this alone, but you’ll have a group of Resonators to help you—and, hopefully, some codes. This game is already fantastic on its own, but it gets even better when you can claim freebies withWuthering Waves(wuwa) codes....

Now I can’t cosplay as Kangaroo Jack [Update:Harada stated on Twitter recentlythat he “hasn’t talked to anyone,” and that Roger Jr. isn’t cut.] One of the best things about theTekkenseries is that it has never taken itself seriously. Sure, there is a ruff and gruff story about how screwed up the Mishima family is, but then you can fight a damn panda bear wearing a swimsuit with a shaolin wooden man....

The current holiday buzz on the lips of stay-at-home moms and soccer dads (they’re the ones that tuck in their polos and wear a brown belt with shorts) is the Nintendo Wii shortage, and how they desperately need to acquire one for their child. With the focus on Wii as a holiday gift, it’s easy to think that the average Wii owner is an arm flailingWii Sports’ Boxingplayer, but Nintendo says differently....

Basically a faster Street Fighter EX It’s been pretty fun watching Arika find their footing with their “Mysterious Fighting Game.”They’re adding characters, finding their bearings, and slowly crafting a full competitor. Arika uploaded 50 minutes of gameplay footage (utilizing the latest playable build at EVO) of their staff members showing off what this game can do so far and it looks super fun. At glance, this seems to share a lot of similarities withStreet Fighter EX(enough to assume this’ll eventually be an entry in theFighting Layerseries) but movement is a bit faster....

Launches this December in Japan The main draw of Koei Tecmo’s Tokyo Game Show 2020 presentation may beHyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, but its showcase of the upcomingAtelier Ryza 2: Lost Legends & the Secret Fairyis no slouch either. The presenters gave viewers look at some extensive gameplay footage for the title, and it’s gorgeous. I’m sure it’ll look just fine on Nintendo Switch, which is where I have the original game, but if you want it on the most powerful hardware available, Koei Tecmo confirmed the title is coming to PlayStation 5 in addition to the already announced PS4 version....
