Whoa, I need to go back and try this Zelda: Breath of the Wild Sand Seals trick

The things you don’t know about this game Before everyone sees “the things you don’t know about this game” and goes “I totally knew this!” I totally didn’t! Out of all of the biomes inZelda: Breath of the Wild, I think the desert locale is the one I explored the least. Look, I just love me some trees and mountains, I really dig water and I adore snow. What’s not to love about that calming east coast scenery?...

As we know the Wave 2 amiibo were split into two groups — Diddy Kong, Zelda, and Little Mac — and Luigi, Pit, and Captain Falcon. The former three shipped out recently, with Luigi and Pit shipping out to most retailers this week, if they aren’t there already....

BEAT IT, SCUM! We’re taking a real trip down memory lane this week, courtesy of Hamster and the Arcade Archives range, as Taito’s 1986 brawler,Renegade,is now available to download on Nintendo Switch.

When the title came West, the visuals were almost entirely re-skinned, relocating the action to America, and dressing the sprites in clothes more relevant to street-gang culture....

BlizzCon has six main stage mystery announcements

Four immediately after the keynote BlizzCon is going to be a hoot this year. We can expect a discontent crowd after Blizzard’s misguided handling of theHearthstoneHong Kong thing. We can also expect Blizzard to grovel for forgiveness, pulling out all stops to win over its fragmented player base. It would not be a good year for a slow and unremarkable BlizzCon. That probably won’t be the case. Blizzard just released theBlizzCon scheduleand there’s reason to believe it’ll be full of announcements....

Cory Barlog inadvertently (and incorrectly) teased God of War DLC, then had to apologize

Tighten up your emoji game, Cory Cory Barlog is a decorated and revered video game designer and story writer. People tend to read between the lines with things he says, projecting their own optimism and wishful thinking. Barlog was recently reminded of this, and it came the hard way. God of War‘s one-year anniversary is this Saturday. PlayStation is celebrating with some freebies: Profile avatars and a dynamic PS4 theme. Barlog, who’s the director and presumably very in the know about things, teased:...

Crysis Remastered is almost finished but Crytek won’t give us a release date

‘The wait is almost over’ Crysis Remasteredis launching on four platforms, but was delayed on three. The one that released timely? Switch! That’s the exact opposite of how this usually works. It paid off. The Switch version ofCrysis Remasteredis technically competent, which is an achievement for a game that’s infamously technically frustrating. It mostly hits a consistent 30 frames per second in portable mode. It gets the job done on the least powerful of the machines....
