Metal Gear Survive didn't survive long enough to make it into my usual lineup of monthly shooters, but it is shambling along in some form or another eight months after launch. Konami has announced that in addition to Castlevania casset...

This one is kind of an oldie (if you consider 2015 "OLD"), but a goodie. A few years ago the YouTube channel AaronGrooves put out a pretty amazing rendition of the original Super Mario Bros. theme on the marimba, and it rocks...

Having been to Japan and witnessed its many themed cafes, I can confirm that the food is as tasty as it is cute. Yet another Nintendo-themed promotion is rolling out at the Pokemon Cafe in Ginza, Tokyo as part of an effort to promote t...

Pretty much ever retro gamer knows it: the less-than-thirty-second ditty of the Mega Man X title screen is pretty much etched in my memory at this point. It seems like it was also rattling around in the head of Jon Batiste, the mu...

What better opportunity to launch a tourism campaign than on the back of a property centered around nuclear wastelands? West Virginia governor Jim Justice has done exactly that with their new initiative, which sees them joining forces with ...

With a song that would feel right at home in an anime intro, the Eevee Dance is taking the world by storm. A lot of it involves dancing in place and putting up cat hands, but it's undeniably more adorable when a person in a giant Eevee suit...

YouTuber Craig Kelly managed to create one of the best builds in LEGO Worlds I've seen to date: Shadow Moses from Metal Gear Solid. In a low key "vacation tour" type vibe Kelly walks us through their creation in the video below, w...

Nintendo doesn't want to acknowledge the fan-created Bowsette, but I don't know how much badgering Nintendo of America boss Reggie Fils-Aimé can take before he has to at least say something. All of these fan-creations only help ...

It might not be a completely new discovery, but this Zelda: Breath of the Wild video from T_rashbin was worth sharing anyway. While fighting a Stone Talus world boss they "forgot they had bomb arrows selected," and are subsequently tak...

Mega Man players are some of the most eagle-eyed fans in the industry. They saw the writing on the wall for Mega Man 11 before it was announced by way of a Block Man outfit that seemed like a throwaway/unused piece of concept art, and ...

The 3DS is still trucking along and even has projects slated for 2019. Japan's huge adoption rate is a large reason why Nintendo hasn't launched it into the sun yet in favor of the Switch, and a new report helps cement exactly why people ar...

Brands often poke fun at themselves to a fault or overly weaponize memes, but this one is too cute not to share. For the longest time Sony had a Metal Gear Solid 404 page that simply read "Snaaaaaaaaaake, Sorry it looks like game over ...

As I've said time and time again, the Zelda community is so plentiful, and so full of talented individuals, that on any given week a masterpiece is made. I think this 2D animation from Xabier Urrutia is this week's champion. It's ...

[Image credit: GandaKris, Kuroko_14] The whole "Bowsette" thing moved a little slowly given that the Toadette transformation reveal was back in early September, but once it got rolling there was no stopping it. As a recap: during ...

"Important question," I prefaced as I stomped into the Destructoid team's Slack channel with no regard to whatever conversation might have been going on beforehand. "What is the big rectangular touchpad button on the PS4 controller called?"...

Beating a classic Mega Man game came with its own special reward: the ability to revel in your enemy's defeat. After finishing off the last incarnation of whatever vehicle Dr. Wily cooked up on that particular occasion, he would beg fo...

Owen Wilson has been gracing the screen since 1996 with his signature catch phrase "wow" (or, as it's come to be known, "woooooow") that kicked off in his very first film, Bottle Rocket, and now a World of Warcraft modder is keeping that le...

As that one Jet Set Radio Future song (and the idiom) goes: this is an oldie, but a goodie. Reddit user thepropbox posted a recreation of the titular icon from Zelda: Majora's Mask that they crafted five years ago, and it's still ...

2B is not an arachnid, 2B is not a nerd, and 2B is not a cop. Someone's gonna catch an ass kickin' if they keep disrespecting 2B like this.

I don't hear people talk about Monster Hunter: World's Rotten Vale often. It was one of the most memorable locales during my playthrough, and though it is pretty much the opposite of welcoming, this poster from crowsmack at least has me con...

A link between glitch worlds? Last week Mety333 managed to find a new Zelda: Breath of the Wild glitch, which comes roughly a year and a half since the launch of the game. Or more precisely since it involves The Master Trials DLC, a year an...

We've all done it, right? Tried to line up that perfect attack, whether it's a falling-with-style plunge or just a basic leap? Monster Hunter: World has some of the most vertical levels yet in the series so it's tempting to try at basically...

World of Warcraft welcomed its third Kingdom Hearts reference with the Battle for Azeroth expansion. I'm sure half of you are saying "really!?" right now and the other half are going "God why?" It's the Kingdom Hearts effect ...

Bandai Namco and SuperGroupies are teaming up in Japan for Dark Souls...watches and hand bags. We've officially reached peak Souls merchandise, pack it up guys. The watch will run you 29,800 yen ($270), and it looks like there's t...

Before people point and laugh at a 7-11 promotion, I have to clarify how much 7-11 rocks in Japan. Seriously if you've never been, not only are they plentifully plopped across Tokyo (convenience!), but they're one of the easiest ways to get...
