No more Doritos and Mountain Dew Max and I had fun last yeargetting drunk and making funof the Spike “VGX” at a slightly slower rate than its own co-host, Joel McHale, tore into it. Former VGX producer Geoff Keighley is now putting his weight behind a new awards show, The Game Awards, as reported byVariety. The Game Awards will take place in Las Vegas on December 5 and, given the theatre setting over VGX 2013’s normcore industrial dad basement vibe, it’s looking to be a slightly less…horrifying affair....

There’s a host of bug fixes too but you’ll still suck at the game As you might know,Spelunkyhas been myvideogaming obsession over the last six monthsor so, therefore it’s no surprise that I’m actually keen to read throughpatch notes for the game. Version 1.4 has gone live and the big addition is the new Pro HUD mode that greatly reduces the size of things like the health meter, bombs, and ropes and adds new timers to show how long your run has been....

There’s no surprise in hearing that I’m playing more games than before, but I am surprised to hear that this is the case foreveryone. Nielsen’s Cross-Platform Report says that time spent each day on a game console increased 14 percent over last year. That’s a big jump! What caused that? Better games? More options? Or is it just that gaming is still growing. Whatever the reason, be sure to go outside for a bit and get some fresh air, okay?...

Nintendo doesn’t disagree; the star of the Nintendo downloads selection this week is Capcom’s four-case downloadablePhoenix Wright: Ace Attorney(1000 Wii Points) — a game which, assumedly, will feature the same elements of the handheld versions except now with 100 percent more Wii remote waggle. Rounding out the WiiWare experience is the platformerChronos Twins DX(1000 WP) and puzzle gameShadowplay(800 WP). Junk wouldn’t be the right word, but it looks as if this week’s DSiware offerings are more of the same stuff....

Also, Payday 2 Nintendo is really surprising me as we enter an era where gamesaren’t taking that longto be ported or straight-up designed for the Switch. While a lot of its early offerings were ports of one, two, or three-year old games we’re now getting primo stuff likeBridge Constructor Portal, which only just launched on PC a few weeks ago — true parity between console launches is nearly nigh. But I digress, here’s what’s on offer on the eShop this week....

Also, Banner of the Maid It’s a wacky week for the Nintendo eShop, as we’re getting with a “reasonable” 27-ish games debuting over the next several days: which is typically considered a light load when 30-40 games battle each other for sales. Swimsanityis probably the oddest standout, which is a “multiplayer underwater shooter” with co-op and versus modes: with support for online and local play. It also boasts “150 challenges and eight modes” and is simultaneously releasing on multiple platforms tomorrow,including Steam....

It may not be worth the additional cost Recently, it was believed that Nvidia would be launching a16GB version of its RTX 4060 Ti. The consensus was not great; even board partners didn’t appear too enthusiastic about Team Green’s latest Ada Lovelace offering. Much of that comes down to the price. However, it now looks as though things may be worse than first appeared. According to a report fromTechPowerUp, the 16GB variant of the Nvidia graphics card is worse than its 8GB predecessor....

It’s not every day a new beat-’em-up gets announced, but Vogster Entertainment has done exactly that by revealing its latest project,Unbound Saga. It’s based upon an upcoming comic book of the same name, and will be available via download from PlayStation Network for play on the PSP. BothUnbound Sagathe game and the comic book will be out in June, with art by Cliff Richards (Buffy the Vampire Slayer). Taking a cue fromComix Zone,Unbound Sagaputs you inside a comic book and has you beating the crap out of an endless cycle of thugs until you eventually reach “The Maker....

In the Season Pass! YAY! Call of Duty: WWIIis looking to recapture the lost fan base from the older titles by going back to the series’ roots. Just putting the game in World War 2 wasn’t enough as Activision has announced that the most iconic map from the original game, Carentan, will be making a come back forWWII. Sadly, it isn’t as simple as just including the remade map. To get access to Carentan, you’ll need to buy the season pass....

Still no Mass Effect DLC deals Deals brought to you by the crew at Dealzon. FYI: sales from certain retailers go toward supporting Destructoid. Origin started upa “Cyber Week” sale for this Black Friday and Cyber Monday period (aka “we want a piece of the buying pie too”). Top titles that released just this year are on sale, includingTitanfall,The Sims 4, andFIFA 15. Games are up to 75% off, but before you get too excited, the triple-A titles don’t get quite as generous a discount....

You can kinda sorta see them in this video!

The three moves are Guile’s Flash Kick, Chun-Li’s Spinning Bird Kick, and the Dragon Punch (which transcends any one character)....
