Another Ghost Games entry Ghost Games is continuing its work on theNeed for Speedfranchise with a new game in 2017. While last year’sNeed for Speedreboot left some longtime fans disappointed, to say nothing of common criticisms regarding the title’s always-online nature and irksome AI rubberbanding, I think Ghost stands to make a much better follow-up out of the gate knowing what it now knows. Lots of people want lots of different things from this seriesdepending on when they got into it, but that feedback is out there, and it sounds like the team is actively taking it under consideration....

As of this week’s brand new system update, Switch users were stoked to find out that the eShop was altered to include a few handy search filters: DLC, demos, price ranges and a genre option....

The above clip — and the two that follow the jump — came courtesy of Electronic Arts duringmy recent trip down south to have a go atMySims. Each clip shows off various gameplay concepts and character interactions, but realistically you’re just going to be giggling and squealing like an infant as the adorable character designs bore holes into the enamel of your teeth.Destructoid LLC takes no responsibility for anyone rendered blind due to adult-onset diabetes as a result of watching these videos....

You’ll shoot your eye out YouTuberLaserGadgetswas inspired to make some weapons by last year’s hit gameOverwatch.The difference between the guns he made and those made by most other cosplayers is that his actually work. Overwatch‘s breakout characterTracercarries a pair of pulse pistols into battle, rapid-fire weapons that can be reloaded by cycling the circular discs on the sides. The real life version is fully functional, using a blue laser with enough energy to burn a T-shirt or punch a hole through a CD case....

Here’s a video outlining what some of the crucial, life-altering decisions you’ll be forced to make should you choose to play the multiplayer component ofTransformers: War for Cybertron. With four character classes and an array of weaponry, the possibilities are finite! It would be really cool if I could get excited about this game becauseTransformerswere awesome.Dale seemed to like it.

Don’t spook the birds The folks at IllFonic uploaded a near-half-hour-long “developer playthrough” forPredator: Hunting Grounds, and if you missed the 4v1 game’s pre-release trial last month, it’s a good way to catch up. It can be overwhelming to learn a competitive game when teammates are counting on you to perfectly slot into their plan of attack but you haven’t learned the “unspoken rules” yet, so I appreciate the chance to get some pointers straight from the source....

SKU: 103739 [Update:It was not revealed in the Nintendo Direct, but it isavailable for pre-order now online. Best Buyis also carrying it, andYacht Club Games has confirmed(just like the Golden Mega Man amiibo!) that it is functionally the same as the base Shovel Knight figure.] We don’t get bombshell amiibo news very often anymore, especially since Nintendo mostly cooled it with the exclusive figures and slowed down the overall release cadence significantly....

Emails just went out to customers Earlier this week,Amazon put up pre-ordersfor the SNES Classic in the middle of the night. It was frustrating for a lot of people who don’t keep weird hours, but at least those who got their orders ended up happy. Now there’s a new development that might frustrate the lucky ones who nabbed one. Amazon has just sent out an automated customer service email to people who pre-ordered the SNES Classic that indicates it might miss its shipping date of September 29....
