Also, Kid Icarus [Image source] Nintendo is adding its token two games (in the west at least, Japan typically gets three) to the Switch Online NES suite this month, and thankfully it’s two good ones. Kid Icarus, in pretty much every form, is always welcome in my household. I mean hey it would be great if Nintendo made anotherUprising-esque follow-up on Switch but I’m not in charge. The other NES game isStarTropics, the classic puzzle adventure game that hasn’t seen much love in the modern era but is still widely celebrated alongside of its sequel....

At least it’s not TennoGone like E3 Another day, another gaming event changing things up due to the threat of COVID-19, more widely known as the coronavirus. This time, it’s TennoCon, the annual convention about all thingsWarframe. I was able to go last year and it was a great deal of fun if also incredibly hot and muggy anytime I stepped outside of the convention hall. Summers in London, Canada are not kind to big fellows like me....

Dante’s Infernothemes its game around the seven deadly sins, and everybody knows you can’t have sin without lust. The “lust” level has finally been revealed, showing off more demonic milksquirters than one cares to see on a Wednesday morning. I’m all for more breasts in my videogames, but when they’re grey, bruised and attached to things that want me dead, I’ll take a pass. In addition, some new screens havealso been shownfor the PSP version of the game....

Alien Noire The countdown website forPrey 2has ended, and even with publisher Bethesdastepping in to warnanxious fans that it was not involved, a part of me wanted to believe that it was all part of an act. As it turns out, the Alien Noire site was created to house media and info for the game in addition toa petitionasking Human Head Studios and Bethesda to finish what they started. Even if I am disappointed by what this teaser turned out to be, its creation seems to have come from a good place....

There is absolutely no connection to that headline and anything that happened today. It’s just an adorable cat holding onto a bunch of cash. Today we have a new episode of Podtoid, some extras from the DTOID show, Rift has gone free-to-play, people will be watching other people playMadden, a guy tap dances to theMariotheme, and theMass Effectnovel has a bunch of errors in it. Destructoid Original:Podtoid 187: The Rosa Parks of PenisesDTOID Extra: Getting tactical in SyndicateDTOID Extra: Mortal Kombat rips the PS Vita a new one!...

What’s your favorite? Madonna once said, “Music makes the people come together.” She also said, “There’s, like no lessons…. There’s, like, no books about anything,” probably in that stupid fake British voice she has going on. She’s right about the music, it does bring people together. Stand in line at a theme park, walk around a mall, as soon as a popular song comes on the radio you should be able to look around and see people mouthing if not outright singing along....

Embrace the endless beauty of Link’s worlds Finishing in style, today’s Nintendo Direct closed out with a brief trailer and a release date for the highly anticipatedThe Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. The exciting follow-up to the widely lovedThe Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wildwill launch on Nintendo Switch July 24, 2025. The evocative new trailer,which you can check out below, begins with some traditional wall carvings, instantly recognizable as belonging to the Zelda universe....

Here’s the official trailer I am thrilled to confirm that the entirety ofMonster Hunterdoesn’t take place in the desert. Everything we’ve seen about this movie — the teasers, the production stills, the posters — all prominently feature a sandy wasteland and nowhere else. It’s so incredibly boring. This officialMonster Huntertrailer shows more. A lot of the monsters, a lot of bewildered troops, and a little vegetation. There’s also a lot of artillery chucked around and a lot of retaliatory literal-firepower....

If you’re like me, then at one point in your life you got suckered into a free subscription of Game Informer by way of GameStop or EB — whichever does that stupid thing. Anyway, usually I just use the mediocre mag to help with fires, but in the most recent issue I happened to accidentally come across something that I thought some of you may be interested in — especially since some of us tend to get into online debates about which gaming property is better than such and such....

MMOFPS alpha expected in Q2 2013 Despite my sadness thatS.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2may never happen, Vostok Games’MMOFPSSurvariummight just fill that void. In ablog post today, the developers outlined the timeline they are aiming for and when players can get early access to the game. Vostok plans to have an invite-only alpha sometime in Q2 2013, with a beta version in Q4 that will likely be open to all. Players invited to the alpha build will initially be testing hardware issues like server stability along with PVP areas and in-game tasks....

No sooner had I put the finishing touches on the upcoming review forDarksiders IIthan this … thing arrived. I would like you all to serve as witnesses in the event of my disappearance, because I am fairly certain this can be classed as a threat of some kind. So yeah, that’s a gravestone, made out of proper stone n’ stuff. I do have to say, it’s probably the classiest bit of swag that’s swept this way in a while....

Seriously, why didn’t you watch more of it? Time-travel and comedy, two things that go hand in hand like peanut butter and jelly, bacon and eggs, or rum and coke. We’ve seen the popularity of films like theBack to the Futuretrilogy,Bill & Ted’sexcellence in the genre, andArmy of Darkness’following. Likewise,Dr. Whohas been a mainstay of British television for more than fifty years. And so it goes without saying that NBC’sTimelesstries to get people to tune in as it deals with predominantly US history using a mixture of socio-political quips and jabs....

Still mad thatUlitimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3is coming out less than a year after you paid full price for the prequel? Get over it. Your ‘tude might lead you to miss out on the mostcrazy-crazy-crazy-all-the-timeexperience in fighting game history. Heroes and Heralds mode is free, post-launch DLC that will allow you to collect cards based on other Marvel and Capcom characters, giving your fighters new properties and abilities. UnlikeStreet Fighter X Tekken‘s newly announced Gems Mode, whichCapcom’s Seth Killiansays is “actually trying to (be) balance(d)”, Heroes and Heralds mode is place where you can “just throw balance and sanity to the wind completely”....
