I don't look forward to the heartbreak and regret these poor souls are in for.
It’s unfortunate that Konami, a Japanese gambling company, owns the license to Suikoden, one of the greatest video game series ever made. Still, fans haven’t given up yet.
Capcom announced today that it has banned fighting game competitor Noel Brown from the Capcom Pro Tour’s 2016 season, due to “unwarranted and unwanted” touching of a woman at a recent fighting game tournament. He’s also been banned from EVO 2016.
Reaper’s tryhard edgelording is partially on Blizzard, which has given the character sharp lines such as “DIE, DIE, DIE.” But players who play Reaper also make him seem like a ridiculous character, too.
A lot of interesting choices in here, but it's obvious that Japan holds the JRPG in a higher regard than anything else out there.
Japanese game magazine Famitsu is celebrating its 30th anniversary. To mark the occasion, the publication polled readers, asking them which games were most memorable on consoles ranging from the Famicom to the PS4.
Nintendo 2016: We make games or something, probably
Today Nintendo announced that they plan to talk about more than just the new Zelda at E3 later this month. Don’t get your hopes up: there’s still no press conference or Nintendo Direct planned. But at least they’ll show off some other games.
In team-based games like League of Legends and Team Fortress 2, and MMOs like World of Warcraft, support classes—medics, buffers, debuffers, etc—are a necessary element of victory. However, they’re under-appreciated and sometimes under-played. Overwatch addresses that problem in some smart ways, but it doesn’t completely solve the problem.
Odin Sphere for the PlayStation 2 is a gorgeous 2D masterpiece
of an action role-playing game with a big slowdown problem. The high-definition remake, out today for the PlayStation 3, 4 and Vita, does away with the game’s one glaring flaw.
As one of the comments points out, it's a lot like that Seinfeld scene where George's fiance walks in on him pretending he's making out with Marisa Tomei
Remember that invisible lemur bug in Uncharted 4? Turns out it can also affect Drake himself, making one of the game’s key early scenes play out a little...differently.
The Geforce GTX 1080 tops the performance of the $1,000 Titan X card for $700. The Geforce GTX 1070 basically matches it for under $400. That’s just nuts.
In Japan, to celebrate the Nintendo eShop’s 5th anniversary on the 3DS, Nintendo is selling 100 3DS titles for up to 50 percent off. If you have a Nintendo Account, you get another ten percent off. It goes from June 7 to June 13. No word yet if other regions will get similar sales.
Last Wednesday, I reported that No Man’s Sky had been delayed. For two days, up until the game’s developers confirmed the news, I received a stream of nasty messages, angry tweets, and, as has become a standard part of gaming culture, threats against me and my family.
In the English-speaking world, Pikachu is “Pikachu.” In Hong Kong, things are more complex, especially after Nintendo renamed the franchise’s most famous Pocket Monster.
Tony Temple has written one hell of a story about a “raid” on the The Duke of Lancaster, a beached and rotting former luxury liner in Wales that for over 30 years had hidden a treasure trove of classic arcade games inside its hold.
I might have to pick up the trade of this. Sounds like there's still strength in superhero one-offs, since they don't get the opportunity to lose their shit on the lore and do all kinds of ridiculous things to break it.
Death has symbolism. Sometimes how you die can be just as important, if not moreso, than how you live. The last issue of The Omega Men cements the DC Comics series as one of the best superhero books ever, with a finale that has me wondering if it was meant to be an improvised explosive device all along.
If Nintendo NY becomes the location of a Pokegym, my god, it will become a battlefield IRL
Since revealing Pokémon GO last year, Nintendo and developer Niantic have been pretty quiet about how exactly it will work. We knew that it would be a Pokémon game for your mobile, and that you would be able to capture Pokémon in the world, but little else. Finally the studio behind the game has spilled some beans.
Japanese illustrator Shinji Tsuchimochi has been working on a series of one hundred drawings of Tokyo. They depict different places and aspects of the metropolis in a breezy and throughly charming style.
