Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux is coming in early 2018 (or this very month in Japan) on 3DS, but its latest trailer really isn't about all that. No, rather, Atlus took the time to tease a brand new 2D platformer featuring mascots...

The original Metroid casts a long shadow, and it's clearly had an enormous influence on current-day game creators. The concept of an interconnected world where progress is gated by your abilities never really gets old, and it's resonat...

All the way back in 1992, the Putty franchise was born. Although it didn't see like it at the time it was a series destined to live on for many years, as it not only got a sequel in Putty Squad, but a full-on modern remake two decades later...

Nintendo has been putting out a series of interviews with lead developers from the batch of SNES Classic titles, and although they're mostly just promotional material, there's a lot of really cool little factoids buried within them. The sam...

I'm still upbeat about WayForward's The Mummy Demastered, a game that looks far better than you'd ever expect from an official adaptation of 2017's lackluster The Mummy. It's a metroidvania that seems to lean much more on the back half of t...

Note: If you are wondering who the hell I am, I'm Shawn aka RGT 85 on YouTube. I do retro gaming vids, and Destructoid can use a lil retro loving, so here I am. If you like me, make sure you let people know so they don't throw me back in th...

Life can be pretty tough to a young, upcoming witch. Just ask Belle MacFae, currently under threat of expulsion from the Hagmore School of Magic. Her crime? She ruined the Walpurgisnacht Brew, which had been painstakingly prepared for a mys...

Across years of releases, video game consoles have had almost every look under the sun. From the loud, bright-green-on-black of the original Xbox, to the translucent black Sega Saturn which adamantly declares on its disc tray "Thi...

In the wake of Denis Villeneuve's astounding sequel, Blade Runner 2049, people are once again speaking in excited tones about the potential for a new Blade Runner video game experience. I remember back around 2010, when some mysterious art ...

I'm gonna bet Crystal will arrive sometime in December but, with that said, here's my video review for Pokémon Gold! A game that brings up so many memories for me. A little fun fact about myself: I went to Japan... when I was like ei...

Yooka-Laylee has been a bit of a contentious game for many. While diehard fans of Rare's classic 3D platformers are in love with the title, a lot of people have complained about the antiquated design choices that developer Playtronic took w...

Pokémon for me personally was a defining piece of media growing up. I can still recall recess at school and seeing groups of kids huddled around Game Boy screens or playing the card game. I even remember the first episode of Pok&eacu...

Oh what may have been. What if Bubsy was the winner of the mascot wars and Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft were competing with an Accolade Box One? It sounds absurd, but almost as crazy as Captain Falcon representing the entire SNES brand. Ba...

The SNES Classic edition situation ended up being much more favorable than the NES Classic. Not only did stores have more stock the morning of its launch, but the system itself comes with two controllers in the box (the NES Classic had even...

As someone who grew up in the late '90's and early 2000's, I was a huge fan of the Pokémon series as a child. I was the type of person who'd make it a habit to wake up as early as possible to watch the latest episode of the anim...

In what seems like the most bizarre announcement in recent memory, Bubsy is back. This idea was met with basically the entire Internet exclaiming "Really? who asked for this?" Our own Joel Peterson wrote many words explaining why the game b...

SNK's shameless Final Fight clone Burning Fight, is now available for download as the next title in the ACA classics range.The sluggish brawler, originally released for Neo Geo hardware back in 1991, has players choose from one of three cha...

Nintendo Friday madness is upon us. I know the feeling all too well, waking up before the break of dawn to go hunt for amiibo -- a practice I gave up shortly after the disastrous Wave 4 debacle. Rather, today is all about the SNES Classic, ...
