This one doesn't need a ton of introduction from me; the original Guacamelee! is a beloved classic at this point, so it's no wonder the sequel has been a hotly anticipated title. And just so you're not left wondering, it's pretty damned goo...

This August is a real treat for metroidvania fans. We already have a handful of great new releases like Dead Cells, Hollow Knight's next expansion is on the horizon, and Guacamelee 2 is just around the corner. It’s always a thril...

So there I was, sitting in a McDonald's in England. It was 2015, and I was killing time since I had the weekend off. I went to my local comic book store and was able to pick up some issues of Justice League since I was behind a few months. ...

Mulaka is a 3D adventure game with a story based around the culture of the Tarahumara people who hail from Northern Mexico. Its influence from genre mainstays, such as Ocarina of Time and Okami, is felt in every inch of its presentation, bu...

A litany of Disney animated films have explored various cultures. Whether or not they were entirely respectful of those cultures is up for debate, but the one constant up until recently was that neither Disney nor Pixar tackled any aspects ...

Aztez immediately caught my eye for a number of reasons. The most striking of which was its distinct look. Taking cues from Mexican culture, I was wary and excited at the same time. There aren't a lot of games influenced by my culture, so I...

Blockbuster is probably a relic of your youth, the place where you rented overpriced games and movies even though everywhere else was cheaper. More recently, you may remember Blockbuster for its sad three-quarter empty stores, "Everything M...

Amazon México finally opened its doors to selling physical goods this morning. For more than a year prior, it only dealt Kindle e-books. What was the first item ever sold once the servers went live? An amiibo from Fire Emblem, of cou...

Guacamelee! on the PlayStation 3 or PlayStation Vita was a wonderful experience. Well now all you people on the computers can finally see what was so great about it come August 8. Guacamelee: Gold Edition will cost $14.99/€13.99/&poun...

In popular Mexican culture, the luchador (masked wrestler) isn't just an athlete, he's a cultural icon. El Santo is probably the most power example of the luchador concept's hold on Mexico. Santo started professional wrestling bac...

Remember High Voltage Software's Animales de la Muerte? Originally one of the most promising-sounding titles for the then-new WiiWare service, it stewed in limbo for a few years before dropping WiiWare and becoming an XBLA / PSN game inste...

It may come as a surprise, but the last new episode of Disney's f*ck-awesome Gravity Falls aired in early October. That was ages ago! Thankfully the show is coming back next Friday, February 15, and this pleases me. Know what else pleases m...

I don't recall ever seeing a game getting a Latin American Edition, but it's fitting that a wrestling game would blaze that trail. Masked luchador Sin Cara will be replacing Randy Orton as the cover athlete for WWE 12 in Latin America....

Kojima Goes To Mexico! That sounds like the title of a great movie.  I wish that one day I'll be important enough to have press releases go out to announce my travel plans. BREAKING: Dale North goes to Walmart to purchase Oreos, Cheez-...

Call of Juarez: The Cartel has three player co-op, but according to this trailer there is also plenty of competition to go around if you want there to be. As a Western movie buff, I'm still not over the fact that they took one of the few d...

The ludicrously contrived controversy over Call of Juarez: The Cartel continues with news that some Mexican legislators want the game banned. Again, it's worth pointing out that all we've seen so far is some box art. That's enough for some ...

A press release from Sony says that Latin America will get localized "blockbuster" games in 2011. That's good news for them. Killzone 3 and inFAMOUS 2 are coming in Spanish. Killzone 3 will also get 3D and Move support as well as a  Po...

The E3 10 doors are about to open. Though we've been posting news related to the event for days, the show itself still hasn't even started yet. I'm freaking out. I don't think I've ever been this excited about videogames in my entire ...

Mira que sé que no soy mucho de un hablante de español. En realidad, soy muy consciente de que esto ha sido escrito en Inglés, ya continuación, ejecute a través de un traductor web. Pero sabes qué, ...

Hispanics make up a considerable portion of the population in the United States, especially the further south you get. And, according to GameStop COO Paul Raines, they're buying videogames. Raines attributed a large portion of GameStop's ex...

The folks at the Entertainment Software Association took a trip to Mexico recently. They came back with nice tans, a slight margarita hangover, oh... and 91,200 copies of illegal videogames. The ESA raided a massive marketplace in Guadalaja...

Back in October, Sega announced that it was bringing its Dreamcast hit Samba de Amigo to the Wii sometime in the spring of 2008. Well, it is now officially spring, Sega: Where’s the game? I turned my calendar to Marc...

 The backstory: Destructoid turned two (or twenty), so we're putting babies in people in Cancun next week to celebrate and this year we wanted to fly Destructoid's biggest fanboy and a friend to join us. So who should that person be th...

You know, I never thought this would happen. We actually have so much stuff to give away to our readers that we have to pace ourselves. We can't wait to get these huge contests out the door to unveil the treasure chest of other stuff we hav...

First, a matter of cereal business. By now you've probably noticed that Destructoid (and a few other sites) is sponsored by Turning Point this week. So, how are we going to blow our sponsor's money? In the past we've given away computers, c...
