E3 is over, and now it's time for a relatively quiet July. I mean there's a few big games coming out like the Final Fantasy XII remake, and uh...wait. Splatoon 2! How could I forget. Nintendo is gearing up for one of their most massive...   read

Game sizes are insane now. Remember when "40GB games" wasn't commonplace? Well now nearly every AAA game is 40GB, and that's before patches -- many titles end up clocking in at around 100GB after patches and DLC (Halo 4 comes to m...   read

Final Fantasy XV's Adam West Batman-era ass vehicle is getting a mechanical makeover today, as Square Enix has added in the ability to go off-roading with it. I hope you have 8.6 GB to spare on PS4 (on Xbox it's almost 11GB)! As for the upg...   read

The Game Boy Advance SP is a masterpiece of a system. While the Game Gear had the backlight years before it, this was the first time I was able to play a Game Boy without attaching a gross worm light accessory to it, and man, did the G...   read

Uncovering old Mega Man trivia is one of my favorite pastimes. There was once an era where Capcom was immensely proud of the series, showing it off at every turn at tradeshows and myriad magazine spreads. I'll never forget sending in m...   read

My biggest complaint about Arms was a lack of things to do, and Nintendo seems to be rectifying that, albeit slightly, with its first patch. Update 1.1.0 adds in LAN play on top of "arena" mode, which is basically like a spectator-enabled g...   read

Clueless Gamer is one of those segments that I'm happy is still around -- especially given how quickly some late night hosts abandon bits or run them into the ground. People accuse Conan of "hating games," but that's his entire shtick, and ...   read

Speedrunning is one of my favorite things to watch. Sometimes presented with our without commentary, I just love watching people tackle a game and using strategies from the community while adding their own spins to it. It helps me become a ...   read

[Update: And they're gone! A surprise drop, Prime Only, and sold out in roughly an hour. Not a great time to be an amiibo collector. It hasn't been this bad since Wave 4 in 2015.] It's amiibo hunting day!Three new Zelda figures are out...   read

When Modern Warfare Remastered was first announced, I had the chance to speak with one of its lead developers. The first thing I asked? If it was getting a standalone release, as it was originally tethered to Infinite Warfare. He dance...   read

21 years ago today, the Nintendo 64 launched in Japan. It would take several more months to arrive in the US and nearly a year later for Europe. In its lifetime (which lasted until 2002 in Japan and 2003 in the west), it made a major i...   read

Square Enix just put out a very helpful video tutorial on all things Dissidia Final Fantasy NT, and if you're remotely interested in picking it up it's worth the five minute watch. It not only goes over the 3v3 lobby setup (with a quic...   read

Right after giving us a launch window for the Nintendo Switch version of Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, Bandai Namco also unveiled the release date for the fourth (and possibly final) DLC pack -- June 27. New costumes and characters are in (Fused...   read

Nintendo is very much open to the idea of cross-play. Very into it, actually, as they opened their floodgates for Microsoft, Apple, and Google for Minecraft cross-play. Sony is the holdout -- citing their investors over their fanbase&n...   read

We shared the news that Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 would arrive on the Switch later in 2017 (almost a full year after the original launch), but now by way of the official site we have a more technical breakdown of what to expect from this...   read

The 3DS is still alive! Yes, it's allegedly going to be around "past 2018," a fact that remains to be seen, but for now it is still kicking with Ever Oasis and RPG Maker Fes. The Switch is getting ACA Neogeo Fatal Fury 2 and Ocean...   read

For years, and I mean since the Wii first came out, I've been pulling for a monthly fee all access service like Netflix's increasing (and always available) cache of original content. Basically for a nominal fee you get access to every NES (...   read

In addition to a new trailer, Koei Tecmo sent over some info for the upcoming Dynasty Warriors 9, the first true open world game in the series. Traversal options like climbing mountains and using grappling hooks are re-confirmed, as well as...   read

After a rocky weekend of early access Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood opened up its main story quest gating bug and everyone got to see what I've been experiencing since an hour after its early access debut. Since then, I've been playing...   read

When it comes to Anthem, let's get the whole Destiny comparison out of the way first. When Destiny was announced, Activision explained that they had a "10 year plan" to work with Bungie on the game, which led people to erroneously believe t...   read

Taking a page from Telltale's recent book (where it's less of a puzzle adventure game and more just choosing things), Netflix is getting into the modern adventure racket. This just announced this week that they're starting with the children...   read

Blizzard has been playing the field when it comes to eSports. While at least one Overwatch tournament has aired on TBS, they've also dabbled in YouTube and Facebook live for various eSports events for games like Heroes of the Storm. But tha...   read

When it was announced that a Japanese Nintendo Direct would air regarding Dragon Quest XI, and "mostly," deal with the 3DS edition, we expected some Switch news. I mean, we haven't seen it in action yet, and although it's slated for 3D...   read

After the E3 debut of the Super Mario Odyssey trailer, all of us couldn't stop using the word "possess." "Cool, so Mario's hat is basically a possession mechanic, it's very spiritual, we all said." Well, Nintendo pushed its glasses way...   read

Any MMO or hardcore MOBA player is probably aware of, or has used, some form of third party voice chat like TeamSpeak or Discord at some point. It seems like every new raid group I jump into has a preference, and Discord is one of the progr...   read
