I've often heard from people that Zelda: Breath of the Wild's world is lifeless, and I just don't agree. Maybe it's because I allowed myself to get lost in it, but I felt like I was uncovering life at every turn: and not just because of the...

Nintendo: hire these people! Despite the fact that there are plenty of great content creators, writers and animators out there, Nintendo has been very reticent when it comes to producing TV and movies based on their own properties. I get it...

The most memorable aspect of God of War, for me, had to be roaming around that little hub area with Mimir popping off. Sometimes I'd just sit in that little boat and wait for him to finish some grand story: a true testament to how fun that ...

In case you're not aware, Hideki Kamiya (on your left, above) is a legendary game designer who has worked on projects as a director like Resident Evil 2, Devil May Cry, Viewtiful Joe and Bayonetta. He also runs an outspoken Twitter account ...

So babies are pretty in right now. But they didn't use to be! Other than Muppet Babies there wasn't nearly as big of a baby craze as there is with "Baby Yoda" and Baby Sonic, but the babies are making a comeback. That includes little M...

Sometimes, a piece of media comes out that just wholly inspires people around the world, and I think Zelda: Breath of the Wild is right up there with The Witcher III in terms of pure cosplay and mechanical potential. Case and poin...

Labo has been getting by in an extremely low key manner in the west. It almost never even hits sales charts, and much of it, including the late-in-the-game-kinda-VR set, is almost never mentioned in popular culture. But in Japan, it's been ...

Puma has engineered "Active Gaming Footwear," which might be an oxymoron given that no one is really physically active while playing games. Rather, they're nice house slippers that cost an absolute mint. These $105 gaming socks are markete...

It's always lovely when an April Fool's joke turns into a real thing. Conan Chop Chop surprised everyone during the PC Gaming Show at E3 this year, as it looked suspiciously like a full-on joke video released earlier in 2019. Developer Func...

Ah Japan, you get all of the best gaming-related stuff. While there's no official Pokemon Cafe in the US, there are two in Japan: one in Tokyo and another in Osaka. Both locations are expanding as it were when it comes to their menu, a...

Every so often I'll come across a work of art that looks like it was ripped straight out of the game world, and I got that feeling the second I saw this Borderlands 3 Dahl crate from Press X Props. Using a Pelican Case as a base, ...

As I've mentioned in the past, one of my favorite things about Zelda: Breath of the Wild is how much it can make me laugh just as often as it makes me gasp in awe. We've seen so many incredible videos, both intentional and unintentiona...

Before Pokemon really took off, there were a lot of designs that didn't make it off the cutting room floor. Famed illustrator Ken Sugimori came up with many of those characters, even helping form Game Freak itself many years back. Thes...

People have been doing some really cool things with makeshift tech in the past five years or so. We've seen Destiny raid runs with Rock Band instruments.  We've seen DK Bongo remote runs. Someone even made a banana contr...

Diablo is back in full swing at BlizzCon 2019 with the reveal of Diablo IV. Going along with its "return to the series' dark roots," Blizzard opened up a fully fledged museum on the show floor, and man does it look crazy. Dubbed the "d...

I haven't crafted a Halloween costume in ages, but man is it easy to get inspiration from the internet. Created by Reddit user Calvin_and_Hobbes, this one should be obvious to even the most casual of Super Smash Bros. fans: Master Hand...

Former Nintendo president Reggie Fils-Aime has been popping up lately due to his work in the lecturing circuit, and once again in a Q&A portion (for a marketing seminar) he's being asked Nintendo-related questions. This one is...

Will Mother 3 ever be localized? Well if the typical rumor-starters are right, it should have been localized every year for the past decade or so. Every single time, without fail, a Mother 3 rumor pops up, whether it's for E3 or l...

It's amazing how many people were turned onto the idea of open world games because of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Although they've existed for ages, and Bethesda managed to break through to the mainstream many times before with titles like F...

There's nothing better than a hand-drawn note for an RPG. I've talked about this a lot, but back before the days of walkthroughs, you basically had to take notes if you wanted to get through some of the more complex offerings of old. Scrawl...

EGLX is underway in Toronto, Canada, and Destructoid managed to snag industry legend Patrice Désilets (Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, Assassin's Creed) away today for a Q&A panel. He talked about what led him into the wide worl...

The spice must flow. Games must flow too, and hopefully spice and games can flow together at some point in the future. What's sparking all of this talk of Dune and games? Well, a potentially explosive film version of Dune is coming nex...

I know a lot of you grown adults aren't necessarily hanging out in the child-oriented "Play Nintendo" portion of Nintendo's site, but it kind of rules? In addition to all sorts of fun arts and crafts projects to fill a rainy day afternoon/p...

Remember a few months ago when there was all that fuss about the Sonic movie starring Jean-Ralphio (and Dewey Duck!) and Jim Carrey? Well everyone kind of forgot all about it because that's how internet controversies go, but the ripple...

Remember when I paid tribute to 9/9/99 recently (September 9, 1999)? Sonic Adventure was a huge part of making that day special, and Sega knows this, trotting it out constantly for fans. The latest effort is an official "Welcome to Sta...
