I hope Mario is a secret racist in the next Tetris game.
I've seen a lot of great rushes come and go over the years. Sonic Rush, Sugar Rush, San Francisco Rush: 2049, Rush, and of course, August Rush are just few off the top of my head. With the rush market already over saturated to th...
The older I get, the more it seems like people think the stuff I don't work very hard on and am not at all proud of is great, and the stuff that I work hard on and am proud of is no good. It feels weird to be a Bizarro in your own world
There's been talk of a Tetris film for years, but from the looks of it, the critical failure of movies like Pixels and Battleship may have slowed Hollywood's enthusiasm for adapting toys and games that have no established narratives of thei...
It seems like only yesterday that I was asking you, my dear children, which game you'd like to see get the "Rebirth" treatment next. In reality, it was almost ten years ago that I wrote that post. Even worse, shortly after I asked the quest...
Remember the ill-fated Destructoid magazine? Jeez, that was fun while it lasted, but it's a darn crime that we didn't get to make more. While it may have died practically before the first issue ever went to print, a lot of good things ...
Ozzy Osbourne, founding member of Black Sabbath and star of the reality TV show The Osbournes, announced his retirement from the stage at least twice over the past of 20 years, but he went back on those promises both times. In a 1...
It's always hard to categorize these sorts of posts. The leak of the SNES Classic was definitely a rumor, and this post is remotely in the same category as that, but what we have here is more of an opinion from a trusted source than a decla...
I know the exact feeling that people who love Sonic Mania are having right now, and I want to have that feeling too, but everything I know about myself tells me I'd be bored as hell with that game.
TumbleSeed is a passion project that Ridiculous Fishing artist Greg Wohlwend spent years of his life developing. He was surprised, and sad, to see how players reacted to it after it was released. Despite getting plenty of good reviews, the...
Slime-San gets compared to Super Meat Boy a lot, but that's a little like comparing Earthbound to Undertale. They're in the same genre, and the feel is similar, but beyond that, they're pretty darn different. Slime-San's central gameplay h...
[Art by 3DROD] [Update: Mayo won Europe and Japan as well. The whole world has officially been covered in the white stuff.] First there was Brexit. Then there was Trump. Now there is... Mayo. Despite being saddled to the less popular of Sp...
Splatoon 2 is finally out in the wild, and its hype levels are arguably greater now than ever before. Nintendo's newfound knack for developing competitive games that have staying power, outside of staples like Smash Bros. and Mario Ka...
When I was growing up, to openly love video games was to be a nonconformist. There was no getting around that, and in a small cliquey town where social status determined much of your experience in life, being a nonconformist meant being avo...
[Humanized Off The Hook by @eafrns] Though the game is still a week out, Splatoon 2's first international Splatfest competition launches today via a free demo. In fact, the European leg of the battle has already started, while the Nort...
Comic book fans! There is a special shout out to Dtoid in Image Comic's Sun Bakery #4, which reprints a comic that first appeared in the illfated Dtoid Magazine. It's really good! https://imagecomics.com/comics/releases/sun-bakery-4
My first draft of this quiz had only question. Do you love any of the Ghouls 'N Ghosts N' Goblins games? A 'YES' answer means you should definitely buy this game. A 'NO' answer would mean... maybe you should still by this game? It's a...
[Update: Whoa! This piece got a lot more people talking than I bargained for. What a pleasant surprise! If you want to read more about the topic of how PoC are represented in games, these pieces by Tanya DePass, Gita Jackson, Shont&eac...
When Inti Creates announced that the leads from Azure Striker Gunvolt and Gal Gun would make their way into Blaster Master Zero, fans were excited, but not all together shocked. Both characters were Inti Creates originals, so we can presum...
[Image by 8-Bit Central] I picked up the first issue of Atari's Swordquest without knowing anything about it. I loved the Art of Atari book from last year, and knowing the comic came from the same publisher gave me enough confidence to go i...
What Binding of Isaac does for The Legend of Zelda, GoNNER comes pretty darn close to doing for Metroid. Like Metroid, it's largely about stumbling upon bizarre new creatures. Some can be peacefully avoided, others require hard and fast hun...
These quizzes contain fewer words than your average video game review, but they are just as hard to write, if not harder, and this one is not exception. I spent hours trying to generate an algorithm that would guide readers to the questions...
While hunting for the now totally sold out Gamestop exclusive Twilight Princess Link amiibo on Friday, I got to chatting with the store manager about Nintendo and their tendency to make things that people can't buy. He was surprisingly pass...
[Note from the Editor: Destructoid is a multi-author blog. This story in particular was an opinion piece that should not have appeared on our home page, but instead on Mr. Holmes's personal blog. We stand by Holmes in that he should always ...
