Ninjala is still trucking along on Switch, calling my name every so often. Although it was fairly flawed at launch some post-launch updates have smoothed over some of the rougher aspects: enough for that "one round or so" feel when winding ...

Despite any faults it might have, one thing I cannot say about Ninjala is that it lacks passion. This game has more heart than a Time Lord, and it's easy to see how much affection went into creating it. You see it in the character...

In a silly video uploaded today, GungHo Online teased "a new title" from the team behind Let it Die. Uncle Death, the game's mascot, recently went missing. The team tracked him down to "some creepy basement" only to find him sitting beside...

Ninjala just launched on the Switch eShop, and the CEO of GungHo online is already looking ahead. Speaking to Eurogamer, CEO Kazuki Morishita says the game was born out of the idea of kids hitting each other with sticks outside (chanba...

With no E3 this year, the gaming community has had to make do with a hodgepodge of different streams, surprise reveals, and sudden announcements that have kept the writing staff of Destructoid on its toes. Some shows have been worth the wai...

The summer of gaming streams is going full steam as we head toward the back half of June. There are still many big presentations to come, including shows from Ubisoft, EA, CD Projekt Red, and more. Of course, the one I'm most looking forwar...

The first open beta for GungHo Online's Ninjala didn't go particularly well. A flood of connection issues kept most players from giving it a go. Its second beta, open to players around the world for several hours on Sunday, went a lot ...

With E3 calling in sick for 2020, developers and publishers around the world are scrambling to find ways to get the word out about their upcoming games. Some, like Ubisoft, are prepping their own individual events. Others, like Nintendo, se...

I feel as though Ninjala has always existed on the precipice of mainstream relevance. For almost two years now, it's been building toward its release, never really garnering that much attention outside of its constant comparisons to&nb...

Uncle Death just climbed past yet another milestone, as Suda51 and Grasshopper Manufacture's Let it Die hit six million downloads. What sort of gift will Uncle Death receive? A gold-plated skateboard? A scythe decorated with six diamon...

I'm pretty intrigued by Ninjala. Sure it's from GungHo, one of the current kings of microtransactions; so it might not be the most friendly game in the end. But there's something about the teaser that dropped earlier this year that really h...

The quirky RPG-infused puzzle game Puzzles & Dragons will be getting a release on Nintendo Switch this year. GungHo Entertainment announced that a new entry, tentatively titled Puzzles & Dragons Gold, will find its way to Nintendo'...

GungHo has delayed Ninjala – a bubblegum-blowing, bat-swinging, kid-ninja multiplayer action game for Nintendo Switch – until spring 2020. That's one year later than previously planned. The extra production time will go toward c...

If there is one thing PAX West has taught me, it's that what's old is new again. Throughout the show, I see games that hark back to classic console eras and remakes and HD ports of the timeless titles from our youth. Grandia + Grandia ...

Courtesy of GungHo, the Sega Saturn and PlayStation role-playing game Grandia will live on with a remaster for Nintendo Switch and PC this winter. Another nostalgic JRPG for Switch? Bring it on. The console will get a Grandia + Grandia II H...

I may have bounced off Let it Die when the going got tough, but I do love the game's skateboarding grim reaper Uncle Death and hope he sticks around. In a short but sweet announcement picked up by GameSpot, GungHo Online Entertainment annou...

I love it when developers can succinctly describe their game and capture its tone in an original way. Ninjala, a newly-announced Nintendo Switch title from GungHo Online Entertainment, belongs to the "ninja gum action" genre. Trust me, it m...

It's an improbable comeback but also a thematically-appropriate one. Two video games that directly reference death in their titles have combined to give some sort of new life to the elder one. As a celebration of Grasshopper Manufacture's 2...

Let it Die ain't dead yet. The weird free-to-play Suda51-as-all-hell survival game still has a pulse. Last May, we learned that Let it Die hit three million downloads. Nine months later and it has hit the next significant milesto...

As Grasshopper Manufacture's PS4-exclusive free-to-play Let it Die nears its one-year anniversary, it's turning to collaborations as its primary form of advertising. The game is popular, no doubt, as it cleared three million downloads ...

Today at E3 2017, GungHo Online Entertainment CEO Kazuki Morishita spoke with Destructoid about the company's upcoming title for the Nintendo Switch. According to Morishita, the game will be an "action game for all ages with a lig...

Let it Die is continuing to hang in there, and even though I peaced out a while ago, it's pleasing to hear that it's resonating. As of May 15, 2017, the latest figure for the free-to-play hack-and-slash survival game is a cool three million...

Grasshopper Manufacture isn't done with Let it Die. As announced on-stream yesterday, a number of updates are coming to the free-to-play action-survival game. Among those plans are a challenging new set of floors with a different "atmospher...

GungHo Online has announced that worldwide, Let It Die has hit the two million download mark. Given the massive installbase of the PS4 and the fact that it's free helped, but that's still an impressive number for a niche game with a ki...
