This iscertainly not the first footagefromThe Legend of Zelda: The Phantom Hourglassthat we’ve posted, but itisthe longest and most revealing. This is actual gameplay footage covering the first six minutes of the upcoming title, and apart from the day my son was born, this is the most exciting thing I’ve seen this week. I’m not going to ruin it with a ridiculous amount of superlative praise, but I will say this: if you aren’t enthralled by the footage above, you’re quite possibly the worst person since Hitler....

Hit the gallery for the good stuff Metal Gear Solidhad its 31st anniversary earlier this month. June 06, 2025 was the release date of the originalMetal Gearon NES. It has been a wild and often-extremely-confusing ride. Jordan Vogt-Roberts is the director of the upcomingMGSmovie, and he’s paying tribute to the iconic video game series with a steady rollout of brand new art. Vogt-Roberts is sharing 31 pieces of “never-before-seen nano-machine-infused-artwork” onTwitter....

We’re not failing anymore Let’s take a brief trip down memory lane forPokemon Sun and Moon‘s Global Missions. In summation, they’re little meta-missions that involve some sort of online collective goal, which reward players with in-game currency. The first, which merely involved catchingPokemon, failed spectacularly. The second, which tasked players with scanning for creatures, also failed. But since then we as a community have been faring much better, amidst easier goals from Nintendo....

Promoted from our Community Blogs [The media we consume can often affect us in subtle ways, but every once in a while, something will come along that leaves a substantial and lasting impact. Pretty much everyone has a song, album, movie, or TV show that really resonated with them for one reason or another. ForNior, that was a video game calledThe World Ends With You. –Kevin] Adolescence is the strangest thing....

Also, it has some sweet God Hand music Stomach hurts and flew Frisbeeputs a muscular man between a rock and hard place. Someone is lobbing Frisbees at his chiseled jaw. It matters not who. The muscle man needs to dodge them discs. Problem is, when he does, gas starts to build in his sinewy abdomen. He can only crouch for so long before collapsing into a cloud of farts. Then it’s game over....

A solo developer from Moldova, Andrground,has announcedtheir upcoming project,Troleu, a totally accurate work simulator about working as a trolleybus conductor. Okay, I’m lying. While you do work as a trolleybus conductor, and your job is mostly to issue tickets and collect fare, you also spend much of your time engaging in mortal combat with rule breakers. To my knowledge, this isn’t something that conductors regularly do, but maybe things are different in Moldova....

Holy tedium, Batman If there’s two thingsBatman: Arkham Knightdoes too much of, it’s the Batmobile and The Riddler. For the purposes of an upcoming project, I’m working towards a 100% completion rate inKnight, and I’m running into a wall,much like Jordan dida few weeks back. I have roughly 80 more riddles to go of 315 (some are grouped up to make the actual total less, more on that awfulness later), and I felt the burn ages ago....

The world eater cometh It’s been one and a half months sinceMonster Hunter: Worldreleased and I think it’s safe to say it’s been a hit. It’s standing side to side with other games as a popular choice for highlights and Twitch streaming. The time of Deviljho’s return is nigh as we await his arrival in the New World to thrash around Great Jagras or feud with Bazelgeuse. Now that we have a glimpse ofWorld‘s post-launch plans starting with Deviljho on March 22 and the Spring festival in April, it’s time to bring out all of Dtoid’s hunters to ask which monsters you’re hoping to see return inWorld‘s fully realized, HD landscape....

Despite what you may believe, Nintendo seems that they too can suffer from some console launch glitches. While some people may have had a rough time updating their console as far as the time it takes (or even at all), others are experiencing honest-to-goodness errors. Such is the pain of thisconsumer: Well it’s done! I haven’t even had the thing 24 hours…played some Wii Sports and some Twilight Princess and then when I got home tried to connect to WiiConnect24…got connected once and then was prompted to update my console…which bumped me up to this version which then resulted in the system being updated to 2....

Probably for the best MachineGames and Bethesda have delayed the cross-generationalWolfenstein: The New Order, it was revealed today. “Working on next-gen and current gen definitely has an impact, you’re developing for two different things,” VP of PR and marketing Pete Hines toldPolygon. “The fact that the next-gen stuff is still moving is also definitely a factor.” He explains that the game is “trying to be a shooter that also has driving elements, story elements, narrative, stealth sections — each one of those has to be excellent....

As a free PC mod Every month or so I’ll dive back into the world of OGMinecraftPC and see what the community has come up with.The results are almost always staggering. That includes this new adventure from Phoenix Project calledPokemon Cobalt and Amethyst, which is a full-scale RPG. It features 136 Pokemon that can be captured, a full storyline, and its own unique battle system. As you’re able to imagine it took nearly three years to make, but it’s here, very real, and free to play if you own the PC edition ofMinecraft....

Full instructions on how to transfer your achievements and save dataare over here, but here’s the gist if you bought the game on Steam: The process took me a few minutes including the time it took to download a couple necessary updates.

In case you haven’t heard, Nintendo is testing the SpotPass waters on Switch. In a feature that’s not available on Wii U,Zelda: Breath of the Wildchannels will dispense words of wisdom and in-game items for players if you click on them from the Switch’s core menu. They’ve provided weapons and meat in the past, and now, if you head over to the climbing post, you’ll get stamina-building food. Crabs and mushrooms to be precise, which you’re able to either just eat or forge into a new recipe to better scale mountains with — preferably alongside of your climbing gear....
