From the mind of Micah Moore comes a real-life four player Super Smash Bros. Ultimate rendition starring real stunt actors (Walking Dead's Negan/MacGyver/Marvel films). As you'd expect the choreography is on point, as is the editing in...

So I've been diving back into Assassin's Creed Odyssey after a lengthy hiatus (work got in the way) and man does it rock. Am I jazzed about the picturesque, idyllic landscapes? Sure. What about the tight combat and enjoyable locales that ar...

Man I adore the pre-DS Game Boy era. I mean the DS and 3DS were giants in their own right (and the latter is one of my most-played systems of all time), but there was something special about the compact, post original Game Boy designs that ...

Well this is something I hope we see a lot of in the west. Over in Japan folks are scooping up physical Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Fighters Pass cards, which are emblazoned with the Smash seal and everything. It's a rad little way...

Yeah, I'll take any sort of Super Smash Bros. celebration this week after the launch of Ultimate, a monumental achievement in the fighting game genre. We've already seen the amazing Sakurai amiibo in honor of his team's achievements, but th...

I'm in awe of the Zelda art community once again as Reddit user thackraydaiquiri shared their rendition of Hyrule as a series of national parks, including takes on Hyrule Field, Death Mountain and the Deku Tree. Although all of these locati...

When I first witnessed the reveal for The Quiet Man I called it "bizarre." An innocuous enough comment for sure, but it made it onto Wikipedia. It's official! It turns out bizarre was an understatement.

Last month I posted a 2D Legend of Zelda animation in the style of a flip book animation from the talented Txikimorin and people went wild over it. A month later and they're back with another: this time it's Link versus Wolfo...

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...
