Earlier this year we got windof a game calledProject Prelude Runefrom Hideo Baba, a JRPG legend that has worked on theTalesseries as a producer for over a decade. Pretty much all we knew is that a developer called Studio Istolia was working on it and that it was a “new fantasy, unfolding across a vast land teeming with life.” Now it seems like the project is moving forward beyond concept art and a synopsis....

It’s pretty easy Club Nintendo was pretty much the best. You’d pop open that new game case, and other than the new game smell, you’d get a cool little Club Nintendo insert to redeem for points. Since then the My Nintendo reward system has been a huge step down, but it exists, and there’s now a way to redeem physical copies of games on the Switch (RIP Wii U). All you have to do is pop open the case in the same way, glare at the lack of instruction manuals and inserts, put the cartridge into your Switch, then press the “+” button on the homescreen to bring up its menu, and select “My Nintendo Rewards program....

Here’s a list of famous video game characters whose true origin stories I’m willing to bet that you’d never guess — I sure know I wouldn’t. Solid Snake is two different people — just like the real Big Boss In theMetal Gear Solidseries, Solid Snake would feature an original look for the first game, but then become heavily inspired by Snake Plissken from John Carpenter’sEscape From New York....

Lame My excitement for therecently teasedMighty Switch Force!gamewent from a “hnnngh” to a “meh” in one swift blow, as WayForward has announcedAcademyfor PC, currently in Early Access. It’s billed as a “part puzzle, part party” game, and it basically looks likeLode Runner,Switch Forcestyle. Couch co-op for up to four players seems cool, but currently there’s no option for a level editor, and content is limited. Like most Early Access games, I’ll likely ignore this one until it’s eventually out, and more features are added....
