Metroid Prime is a classic. I don't think that's up for debate. It just is. Nintendo thinks so! Which is why they released it again years later in trilogy form on the Wii after its GameCube debut in 2002. But ever since that 2009 ...

id Software's Doom does not only hold the title of being one of the single most influential video games of all-time, but it also seems to be the go-to for a whole bevy of fun fan projects, from efforts to get the shooter running on every pl...

When I report on a fan game getting shut down, I often see that many people are quick to say "well duh, of course." But that's not necessarily the case with several publishers. Both Capcom and Sega have historically been welcoming of fan ga...

Back in November of 2019, a group publicly revealed that they were crafting a Fire Emblem: Three Houses demake (in GBA form) and wanted everyone to know about it. That call to arms paid off, as the original team ended up getting a lot ...

Mother 4 is no longer Mother 4. The project has adopted a new name – it's going by Oddity now – and it has severed its fan-game ties. While it might not be an on-brand sequel to Mother 3 as previously planned, Oddity is still a ...

The conclusion to Gordon Freeman's story can finally be told. No, not that one against the Combine. The one where he fights the Nihilanth. Yes, you already played that 20 years ago. Just listen for a moment, okay? Black Mesa, the fan-made a...

Jesus Lopez has something special on their hands: a fan game based on The Super Mario Bros. Super Show. You know, that old cartoon starring Lou Albano that ran during Saturday mornings in 1989 that had both an official rap and the...

"A publisher has to protect its property, which is why Nintendo sues/litigates fan game makers." It's a phrase you see often, especially in defense of Nintendo, but it's not quite true in all cases, is it? Why didn't Capcom lose the ri...

It wasn't long ago that I was researching how many videogames Winona Rider Ryder has been in. The number was surprisingly low. From the looks of it, the same is true for her ex-boyfriend Keanu Reeves. Other than a few games based on&n...

One of the greatest things about Destructoid is its sense of community. I've made life-long friends here and meet folks who share the same passion as myself nearly every single day. Bartek Kubica, who resides in Poland, is one of those peop...

Valve is never making another Half-Life game. Okay? We've all come to terms with that, right? So, here's the next best thing. In honor of Half-Life's 20th anniversary, Black Mesa developer Crowbar Collective has released the...

One of my favorite games of the past decade is a wonderful little collection called NES Remix. From indiezero and Nintendo, this trio of games took classic NES titles and reimagined how people played them. It was a great success, but after ...

With how popular "battle royale" has become, it was only a matter of time that some modders would create a version of the game mode for id Software's legendary Doom. Thanks to Retrodex Gaming, we now can experience what an old-school take o...

Kid Icarus is an IP that doesn't get a whole lot of love from Nintendo. Since the first game released for the NES in 1986, only two subsequent games have been released, the last of which was a 2012 3DS title, Kid Icarus: Uprising.  Whi...
