A humble PSA Ever hear someone name-drop an old video game and thenimmediatelyfeel an irresistible impulse to stop what you’re doing, seek it out, and see how well it holds up? Hey, me too. What a coincidence! Yesterday, in light of Frontier’s upcomingPlanet Zoo, the Destructoid staff got to chatting about simulation games we wished someone would make. (Here’s a freebie courtesy of Occams: a thoughtful museum sim in which you design and curate exhibits....

If you haven’t seen Split yet then Glass is a major spoiler I sawSplitlate and the entire time sitting through it all I could think was that it was good, but not great, and whatever twist everyone was talking about wasn’t going to change that. AND THEN THE TWIST MADE IT GREAT. Never have I watched a movie where the ending changed the entire complexion of the film so completely, turning a fun film into a near masterpiece, and redefining its entire genre....

That Mega Man FPS In case you haven’t heard, there’s a fan-mod out there that combines gameplay from the originalDoomwith classicMega Mangoodness. Pretty much every classic character is playable, from Mega Man himself to rival Bass, to most of the Robot Master cast. Version 4 is set to drop this weekend, including reworked classic stages like Bomb Man, new weapons, new items, and additional maps. There’s also a new campaign. I can’t think of a better (free) way to spend your weekend!...

You know how it works! With the help of each other, attempt to figure out all of the disguised game covers. They all share a common theme that, once solved, can help you figure out the harder ones. This week’s theme is really easy, but there’s only one easy teaser to help you on your way, and the rest are all pretty difficult. To quote Theron from the movie300, “This will not be over quickly....

In addition to Kirby’s Adventure and Mario 2 In addition to the previously planned arrivals ofKirby’s AdventureandSuper Mario Bros. 2on the Switch as part of the NES suite, we’re also getting two more “SP” editions of existing games:MetroidandBlaster Master. The former boosts you with extra items and the latter allows you to begin at area 8, the last area in the game. You’ll also basically be maxed out so you can take down the final boss....

Max and his water pistol like to get around Scandalous joking aside, Renegade Kid’sMutant Muddshas indeed been popping up everywhere. There’s the3DS original, thePC update, yesterday’s confirmation of aWii U “deluxe” edition, and now news of a port for iOS devices. Unlike the Wii U version, which will have even newer content, the iOS build will only contain the levels and features we’ve previously seen. That means you’ll get all 60 levels — the standard 40 plus the 20 Grannie stages — but at a very reasonable price of $0....

Probably including Switch I’d have a tough time passing on the action-RPGTorchlight IIif it were to come to Nintendo Switch, and I bet that sentiment is shared by a not-insignificant number of Switch owners. This week, Perfect World announced thatPanic Buttonis bringing the game to consoles this fall with an “enhanced version.” The team has previously brought games likeWolfenstein IIandDoomto Nintendo Switch to great effect, and in the near future, Panic Button will launch a port of another title from the Runic Games library:Hob....

When your hunger is Pokken at you Just last night we heard aboutChandelure joining the cast of fightersinPokkén Tournament, which immediately increases my interest in the title. Sure, it makes sense for Lucario and Machamp to be fighters in the game, but a ghost chandelier? Now I’m listening. Anyway, Nintendo let us know today to expect the title to hit Wii U on March 18, shortly after some of the other 20th anniversary celebrations for thePokémonfranchise, including the 3DS rerelease of the originalRed,Blue, andYellowgames....

The International Committee of the Red Cross recently caused a stir by implying that military first-person-shooters likeCall of DutyandBattlefieldmight (fictionally) break international armed conflict laws with its hyper-realistic depictions of violence. Ina new FAQ on its site, the ICRC said games have the potential to raise awareness of humanitarian law, and it would like to see them rise to that challenge. “In real life, armed forces are subject to the laws of armed conflict,” said the organization....

The Nintendo 3DS XL sure is a sexy little machine. Just check out that screen and think about all the naughty things you could do with that extended battery life, and, well, let’s just say that picking up Nintendo’s new handheld is more tempting than ever. That is unless you’ve had your eye on that alluring white Japanese system or the silver/black configuration that British gamers have managed to get their hands on....

Sonic Superstarsis attempting to recapture that classicSonicfeeling, though it will be bringing a few new elements to the franchise. A villain named Trip is preparing to make her debut, and though she’s decked out in spiky armor, she won’t be your typicalSonicenemy.In an interview with Game Informer, Sonic Team creative officer Takashi Iizuka discussed a bit more about Trip’s origins and role in Sonic Superstars. Trip and her trouble Not much is known about Trip yet, though theofficial site forSonic Superstarsreveals that she has been enlisted by Fang and Dr....
