Capcom is slapping the bass on the Nintendo eShop this week with three big re-releases: Resident Evil, Resident Evil 0, and Resident Evil 4. Don't get too excited: these are $30 each, far pricier than other consoles. Other Switch drops incl...

It's port week for the Nintendo Switch! The eShop is getting Saints Row: The Third, Arcade Archives Terra Force, Ascendance, Blazing Beaks, Car Trader, Dragon Pinball, Dragon Snakes, Evil Defenders, For the King, Frane: Dragon's Odyssey, Lo...

It's a modest week for the eShop, headlined by Shakedown: Hawaii and the recent surprise announcement of Puyo Puyo Champions, both on May 7. Other eShop releases include Arcade Archives Pscho Soldier, Bird Game+, Black Paradox, Car Mec...

343 Industries has announced that the first public tests for Halo: Master Chief Collection's PC ports won't be happening this month. While it was previously hinted that they might begin in late April, Halo community director Brian Jarrard h...

This weekend, Nintendo will be holding a free demo period for Mario Tennis Aces. Similar to the online tournament demo from last year, players will be able to sample the online offerings of the game for a limited time period. The demo will ...

It's another fun week for the eShop, as the Switch is getting BoxBoy + BoxGirl, Final Fantasy XII The Zodiac Age, and SteamWorld Quest. It's a nice mix of old and new, with two old school oriented RPGs front and center! The Switch is back t...

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's 3.0.0 patch arrives today, alongside of Persona 5's Joker as a DLC character: if you need a breakdown, we got you covered here. Other big Switch releases include Mortal Kombat 11 (on April 22), Cuphead, Kat...

It's about to get quite quadrilateral, cowboy. No trapezoids or rhombuses here. The right angle is the right angle. BoxBoy + BoxGirl, the latest installment in a series about platforming boxes, is set to launch on April 26 for $10. Th...

The time has come for the Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD remasters to hit the Switch! Just know that if you're going physical that X-2 will be a separate download unless you import the set from Southeast Asia. Of course you can also opt for the eSh...

Trine 3: The Artifacts of Power is notorious for a few things. The first is that it radically changed the gameplay style from its predecessors, segmenting the fan base in the process. The other is that the relative failure of the game nearl...

When Peter and I stopped by the 505 Games booth at PAX, I was admittedly a little bit jealous of him. While he was checking out Bloodstained, I'd be sitting on the other end of the booth seeing Indivisible, a game I knew very little ab...

Layers of Fear 2 is releasing sometime later this year, and it won't be a pleasant time. It won't be relaxing or peaceful or hospitable. Fortunately, the people who are eagerly awaiting Layers of Fear 2 don't want or expect any o...

It's an indie and re-release extravaganza this coming week on the Switch eShop. First up is Super Dragon Ball Heroes World Mission on April 5, which is basically a DBZ card game. Also on the Switch you'll find Phoenix Wright (on April ...

PAX East was one week ago and I'm still reeling from it. Since I'm apparently an old man now, I've been tired for the past few days while trying to wrap up my coverage from the event: I wanted to highlight a couple of games that I didn't ge...

The once proud Burnout series is not likely to make a comeback anytime soon. EA may have released a remastered version of Burnout Paradise last year, but arcade racers seem to have fallen out of style with the general public. That's a real ...

While I've personally gushed over it a few times, Destructoid hasn't done a proper preview for New Blood Interactive's Amid Evil. To give you a quick rundown, think a modern take on Heretic and you'll be pretty close to what the game is try...

I'm not sure what else I can say about the roguelike genre that I haven't already written. So many of these games play by the same rules that describing one can be easily applied to another. Just swap out some names and platforms and you're...

The point-and-click adventure genre has slowly been coming back into prominence over the last console generation. Starting with revivals of old LucasArts games from Telltale, the legendary Secret of Monkey Island got an HD port in 2009 and ...

Cosmo's Quickstop was certainly one of the more manic games I played on the PAX East floor, and in a good way. As the newest employee of an interstellar gas station, my job was to multi-task across customer needs including pumping spaceship...

Indie, roguelike, and pixel-art. These three buzzwords have been increasingly prevalent in recent years. After the immense success of The Binding of Isaac, everyone and their mother started to jump on the roguelike bandwagon. Edmund McMille...

id Software's Rage was a bit of a mixed bag back when it released nearly a decade ago. Trying its damnedest to combine a bunch of different genres together, it felt nothing like id's back catalog, while lacking a clear identity of its own. ...

The arcade beat-em-up genre was very strong in the '80s and '90s. Enter any arcade and you were bound to find at least 10 machines from different developers all in a row. Golden Axe, Ninja Gaiden, Final Fight, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles...

VA-11 Hall-A was quite the surprise when it released a few years back. Visual novels aren't new by any means, but this plucky little title combined a cyberpunk aesthetic with a very introspective story that made for some gripping drama. The...

It's a busy time for Nintendo as they host yet another first-party game in Yoshi's Crafted World. Other Switch releases this Nintendo Download period include The World Next Door, Darksiders Warmastered Edition, 12 Labours of Hercules, NeoGe...
