Yesterday, Nintendo shadow dropped the announcement of a Nintendo Mini Direct for today, June 28th. The June 2022 Nintendo Mini Direct focused on many upcoming 3rd party releases heading to Nintendo Switch. The showcase lasted approximately 26 minutes, resulting in an abundance big of announcements!
When it comes to games that last, complex and well-designed mechanics can keep players coming back for more years after release. These are the sort of games that are usually challenging but fair, deep and mysterious, but also simple enough to play for short bursts and typically there are lots of things to unlock or elements that change up each session. I consider games like this to be mechanically...[Read More]
If there’s one series I’ve wished to see come back with fresh ideas, it’s Mega Man Battle Network, a series of titles which was (mostly) an RPG spinoff of the Mega Man franchise that had more than ten entries when counting dual versions. I loved this spinoff quite a bit, but more for the incredible manga by Ryo Takamisaki, Mega Man NT Warrior, which also had an anime. I even owned the physical PET...[Read More]
Capcom and iam8bit have announced that they will be kicking off the 30th Anniversary of the Mega Man franchise and “Mega May” with something truly special for fans of the Blue Bomber, and more specifically, fans of Mega Man 2 and Mega Man X. For $100 each, you can own a new, limited edition reproduction of Mega Man 2 as a NES cartridge and Mega Man X as a SNES cartridge. Even more exci...[Read More]
Nintendo has just announced that the Super Nintendo Entertainment System: Super NES Classic Edition will be hitting store shelves on September 29th for $79.99. The SNES Classic will include 21 titles, many of which are considered true masterpieces. Potentially most exciting is the fact the Star Fox 2 will be included, a game that was never released. The other games included are as follows; Contra ...[Read More]
It is hard to imagine how a game based on a scantily-clad, half-vampire woman who battles Nazi’s could fail, but somehow, BloodRayne managed to be a fairly mediocre series. When the license was handed over to Uwe “I have a grudge against all gamers” Boll to be mangled and humiliated, it was all but certain that the proverbial wooden stake had been shoved through Rayne’s heart. However, BloodRayne ...[Read More]
That sound you hear? That is every bit of my rage concentrated into a pure form of energy and being shot out into the universe, vibrating every single molecule in existence. What a horrid sound it is. What, you think this lead in is over dramatic? I don’t!
Is online connectivity really all it’s cracked up to be? In the wake of Sony completely losing their online service for over a week, I just have to ask one potentially-obvious-but-maybe-not question: Do we as gamers really need online? In this modern era of gaming where so much is convenient and instantaneous, is online service a necessity, the future of gaming, a perk that we take for grant...[Read More]
Because it’s not that I think Adam is completely wrong about everything he said in his article. It’s that I know Adam is completely wrong about everything he said in his article. A great story has the ability to elevate a great game into a great piece of art.
In an announcement that is completely amazing and also completely true, the company that brought us Mario and Link and Rob the Robot and all our other favorite woodland critters has announced that they are updating Captain N. Are you ready for the next generation of video game heroes to star in a horrible television show? Because I certainly am!
I love my iPhone. I love the fact that I have a jailbroken iPhone. Why? Because I can get super sweet ringtones like the ones I’m about to tell you about.
Personally, I’m not particularly excited about either of these characters appearing in Marvel vs. Capcom 3, but hey, maybe one of you guys happens to be shit-your-pants excited about it. Tron Bonne was an antagonist in a Mega Man game who developed feelings for Mega Man (or some such crap), and X-23 is a female clone of Wolverine (this makes how many clones/derivatives of Wolverine now?).
