Whenever it comes along Retro City Rampageis a pretty polarizing game around these parts, but I found myself really digging it, especially the well-crafted 3DS port. For everyone who still plays it off and on, you might be happy to know that creator Brian Provinciano will be supporting the game going forward, even when theNew 3DSdrops. When asked on Twitter, Provinciano stated that the game will get an update to accommodate the 3DS’ added buttons — which may includethe two triggersand the extrathumbstick nub…thing....

The Expanse: A Telltale Seriespicks up right wherethe first episode left off. Things were in a bit of disarray, so the opening moments ofThe Expanse: A Telltale Series Episode 2are a bit hectic. However, Camina Drummer is now the captain of The Artemis, which means our choices should now matter more than ever. Even though we’re technically still in the first half of the series, by the end of the episode I certainly feel like things are moving forward....

Armored Core 6: Fires OfRubicon is finally out. The first things you need to know about it are thatit absolutely rocks,it’s challenging, and yes, while it’s its own thing, it also picked up some gameplay tricks that FromSoftware learned during the decade it spent away fromACto make theSoulsseries.

It’s tough to keep up with everything these days. Not for me, because I live here. I assume it can be difficult for most people who have lives outside the internet. I imagine most folks have a lot going on, like, I don’t know, sorting their recycling, paying their taxes, calling their mom. I don’t do those things. But if you do, you maybe don’t have time to read Destructoid every day....

The crucifixion of Sony continues. After a week of battering from analysts and mainstream writers, the PlayStation 3 manufacturer nowfaces the wrathof financial services groupCredit Suisse. The group cut Sony’s investment rating, and now shares in the company are suffering. Credit Suisse warned Sony that it needs to change if it can hope to match rivals such as Nintendo and Apple, giving the company a proper dressing down. Sony, of course, appears to have ignored the fact that there’s a global recession going on, instead choosing to releaseHomeand tell worried consumers that they should spend $400 on the PS3....

When Microsoft acquired Bethesda Game Studios for $7.5 billion in 2021, it was made abundantly clear some of Bethesda’s upcoming fare would be exclusive to Xbox and PC. Yet, whenStarfieldlaunched, somePlayStation fans seemed to take umbrage with that. So much so that a mod has been created, the purpose of which is solely to take the Bethesda splash screen that plays when you load up the game …and replace it with the PlayStation Studios intro....

It’s a trap! Tecmo’s Deception: Invitation to Darknessis being re-released on PlayStation Network next week in North America, according to the latest episode of thePlayStation Blogcast. Ahem. Before we go any further, let me just warn you “this game contains satanic references and may be inappropriate for some individuals.” Okay, now withthatout of the way… Originally released in 1996,Deceptionfollows the exploits of a man who finds himself in the services of Satan....

It’s called a road… Brag: I’ve been playingMario Kart 8for awhile now at home. Not for review or anything. Just because. Don’t tell Nintendo, but I may have let my family play a bit too. They’re also probably bragging now when they shouldn’t be. I had no point in telling you that. I just wanted to brag. you’re able to playMario Kart 8at GameStop on May 17 and 18 as a sort of preview, well before the game’s May 30 launch....

Why? Why not, that’s why Have you ever wanted to run Windows 95 on your New 3DS? Me neither, but now we know we can. YouTuber LarBob Doomer has released a video showing the OS loading up (very slowly) on the handheld through a workaround usingDOSBox, a program that helps run old DOS programs. Apparently the original 3DS simply wasn’t powerful enough to run it, but the New 3DS and its improved processing power is strong enough to get it working....

Ah, remember the days running on a plastic pad like a jittery sissy? Those that rocked the NES Power Pad back in the 1980’s should have fond, sweaty memories of looking like an idiot while running in place in their living rooms. Those days are here again, thanks to Namco Bandai. The Famicom gameFamily Trainer: Athletic Worldwas released by Bandai in Japan with a mat controller and high hopes. That didn’t get them far, but for some reason they’re trying again with a another Japanese version, this time for the Wii....

Stop the fight, it’s over Although we’ve seen plenty ofZelda: Breath of the Wildstyle videos, this particular clipfrom Redditor DuplexLinkreally caught my eye because of how badly thisZeldaGuardian is bested. Simply titled “I remember when I was scared of guardians…pathetic,” it gets the point across. There’s a lot going on here, most notably the use of basically every Champion power, as well as some quick weapon swapping to give the beat down more variety....
