Just when you think Microsoft could do no worse in Japan, the console proves that, yes, it can do even worse. Much worse.

by Stephen Totilo
Adam Boyes, head of third-party developer relations at PlayStation, told me at E3 that he’s known about Square’s Final Fantasy VII remake for a year. It was a fun secret to keep.

The Story Behind Uncharted 4's Press Conference Snafu
by Patrick Klepek
Sony decided to close out its E3 press conference this year with Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End. After a brief cutscene played, Nathan Drake was supposed to start moving through a crowd...but he just stood still...for a long time. That’s when co-director Bruce Straley started panicking.

You Can't Play Zelda: Triforce Heroes With Only Two People
by Jason Schreier
DsiderI'm gonna need at least two of you to commit, or I'm not bothering. Don't feel like playing this single-player.
You can play the newest Zelda game alongside two other people. You can play it by yourself. But you can’t, according to director Hiromasa Shikata, play Zelda: Triforce Heroes with a party of two.

Today's Pokémon Anime Special Was Kind of Nuts
by Brian Ashcraft
DsiderMan what
Also I like that one of the make-up assistants is a Braixen
In Japan, an hour Pokémon special just aired on TV. It starred Pikachu. Lots of Pikachus. But mostly, even by Pokémon standards, it was bonkers.

The new Animal Crossing is letting you choose your skin tone.
by Nathan Grayson
The new Animal Crossing is letting you choose your skin tone. People have been asking for the option for years, and Nintendo’s granting their wish with Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer . It’s a step in the right direction, albeit a long overdue one. Hopefully it’ll carry over to the next full Animal Crossing game.

Here's How the Scooby Doo Crew Would've Dressed Through the 20th Century
by Katharine Trendacosta on io9, shared by Gergo Vas to Kotaku
In her delightfully titled “Scooby Doo, When Are You?” series, artist Julia Wytrazek has perfectly imagined what Velma, Daphne, Shaggy, and Fred would have worn from 1910 through to the ’90s. I might be biased, but I like Velma’s looks the best.

Rhythm Heaven’s Remix Stages Are Genius
by Richard Eisenbeis
DsiderThis game series really gets no love compared to the other Nintendo IPs. I still have no idea if we'll ever get the 3DS version.
The normal levels in the Rhythm Heaven series are good, but it’s the Remix Stages that make the games great.

This Man Bought So Much Batman Stuff
by Brian Ashcraft
DsiderObligatory "Where does he get all those wonderful toys?"
This is the Batman collection of Somchai Nitimongkolchai. It’s the largest in Thailand, and Nitimongkolchai thinks it might be the biggest in the world.

The Newest Ghost in the Shell TV Show Is an Utter Mess
by Richard Eisenbeis
DsiderYeah so no need to watch any of this version. I just have to find that 5th Arise story and then worry about the movie.
Over the course of 2013 and 2014, four hour-long Ghost in the Shell: Arise episodes were released in theaters. This past anime season, these were broken up into eight episodes—along with an extra two new episodes that continue the story—in Ghost in the Shell: Arise: Alternative Architecture. The result is a mess.

I Am So Hyped About Shin Megami x Fire Emblem
by Patricia Hernandez
DsiderShe definitely has the minority opinion here, but this is a lot of useful information about the game.
I am so excited about Genei Ibun Roku, the upcoming Wii U JRPG that mashes together Shin Megami Tensei and Fire Emblem. Everything Nintendo has shown off for it so far has been EXCELLENT.

Sony's Robotic Dogs Are Dying A Slow And Heartbreaking Death
by Chris Mills on Gizmodo, shared by Luke Plunkett to Kotaku
DsiderThis is... surprisingly grim :(
Back in 1999, Sony released a robotic dog called Aibo, a canine companion that didn’t crap everywhere and only ate electricity. It sold pretty well — 150,000 units, despite the $2,000 price tag. Some owners became remarkably attached, which makes it even more sad that Sony has stopped repairing Aibo. Slowly but surely, they’re all dying.

Final Fantasy VII Scenes That Would Look Crazy In The Remake
by Gergo Vas
DsiderYou knew this was coming
The announcement trailer of Final Fantasy VII’s remake showed a slightly darker and more realistic world compared to the 1997 game. And with an aesthetic like that it’s almost impossible to imagine how some of the crazier parts of the original game would look.

Everything We Could Find Out About That New Metroid Game
by Stephen Totilo
E3 2015’s top head-scratcher so far: Why would Nintendo bring back their dormant Metroid franchise, a series known for fairly quiet, careful solo sci-fi exploration, with a multiplayer shooter that’s also a sports game? Good thing I had a half hour with the game’s producer to find out.

The Last Guardian Is Back
by Patricia Hernandez
Bombshell: The Last Guardian is still alive, and it’s coming out on the PS4 in 2016. The practically mythical game was shown off today during Sony’s E3 press conference. It’s a damn miracle.

We just got a look at Cuphead, a side-scrolling platformer from Studio MDHR. It looks like an old-school Disney cartoon, and I would like to play it. It’s coming to Xbox One and PC in 2016.

Wait, It's Pronounced Mo-Yang?

As part of a Minecraft presentation at today’s Xbox event, Mojang brand director Lydia Winters revealed the biggest megaton of all: Mo-jang is pronounced Mo-yang. My world has changed.

Guy Spends Entire Splatoon Match Drawing Dicks, Still Wins

DsiderYou know, it's because the players can do all this that the game is guaranteed to never die
Give someone the ability to create anything they want, and there’s a 99% chance that person will make a dick.

When CG Animation Goes Wrong and Boring
by Brian Ashcraft
Dsider:|
This is an image of Ganba no Bouken or The Adventures of Ganba. The anime debuted in the mid-1970s. Now, they’re making a CG version, and damn, it looks tragic.
