You know that list of top50 games of the decadethat one site did? You know, the one. The one where we hadMother 3as the third greatest game of this decade. I bet you thought there wasn’t a way we could honor the game any more than that. Well, you were wrong! Awesome figurines are GO! Now we didn’t make these of course, but I think that by stealing theDestructoidArtisansthunder and putting these figures on the front page we helped artistCamille Youngto honor the game even more....

Let’s get physical When I previewedNCAA Football 14earlier this year, I noted that the best news about the game is that it uses the Infinity Engine 2, the original iteration of which madeMadden 13the best entry in the series in many years. Things are more or less the same from what I played ofNCAA Football 14on the show floor. It feels better than the game ever has and is a little better thanMadden 13, given it runs on the second iteration of the engine....

Now coming in late April NIS America has postponed the PC release ofhtoL#NiQ: The Firefly Diary. The puzzle game was initially supposed to arrive next Monday, March 14, but is now being delayed until April 25 to give the publisher more time to test the game and iron out any bugs. Destructoid’s resident horror expert Zack Furnissrecently took the PC version for a spin, and didn’t find many problems wit the port, but it’s always nice to see publishers take some extra time to ensure every player has a smooth experience, rather than rush games out to market before they’re ready....

“The only experience you need is life experience.” In the biggest surprise of E3 so far, Microsoft announced a brand new gaming experience at the tail end of its press conference: something calledProject Natal. This new controller-free device is part of the Xbox 360 and tracks a person’s full-body motion in real-time. UPDATE 3: Here’s the video from the E3 press conference: Basically, a person stands in front of their Xbox 360 and Project Natal will scan your face or other objects, recognize your voice, and, literally, mimic the movements of your body as you just stand in front of the console....

Grasshopper will be there too With E3 calling in sick for 2020, developers and publishers around the world are scrambling to find ways to get the word out about their upcoming games. Some, like Ubisoft, are prepping their own individual events. Others, like Nintendo, seem to be content just drip-feeding announcements to fans. Those strategies are fine, but there’s something to be said about having a great big show that brings together some of the finest developers and publishers from around the world....

There have been quite a few doubts about Bloober Team’s ability to remakeSilent Hill 2in a way that keeps the spirit of the original while breathing new life into the legendary horror game. I’ve been guilty of perpetuating some of this cynicism myself, but there’s a chance the game could actually turn out to be good. A number of journalists have been treated to a preview of theSilent Hill 2remake lately, and feedback suggests Bloober might actually have nailed it....

Look for it under the ‘Sega Ages’ banner How do you sweeten the deal for yet anotherSonic the Hedgehogport in a post-Sonic Maniaworld? Why, do a little borrowing! Sega is bringingSega Ages: Sonic the HedgehogandSega Ages: Thunder Force IVto Nintendo Switch next month with optional bonus features and modes.

Pray they too never make it TheSonic the Hedgehogmovieis moving studios.DeadpooldirectorTim Millerwas going to produce with his palJeff Fowlerdirecting andSony had the rights to make it, but they put the project on hold and then just entirely dropped it. Paramount, acting like a hungry dog going after their owner’s dropped scraps, scooped it up. Want to know why Sony dropped this? Because making a serious Sonic movie is a dumb, nearly impossible idea that should not be done....

Equivalent console update still in the works With today’s PC update forStardew Valley, it’s just a little bit easier to embrace the laborious farm life while playing with a gamepad instead of a mouse and keyboard. Menu navigation now works more like you’d expect, with your cursor snapping between items, and feels smoother all around. Better yet, for non-English players, there are new localizations. The patch notes: It’s nice to seeStardewfurther open itself up to a wider audience, and as for the controller tweaks, I’ll look forward to them crossing over to the console versions of the game soon enough....
