Level-5 gives us a big rundown of new Yo-Kai Watch 4 info

Did anyone else notice that creature in the corner? Yo-Kai Watch 4was going through some growing pains last year, but after a seasonal delay it seems like the game is back on track. Box art is locked in, it’s still a Switch exclusive, and it’s set for a June 6 release, just in time for E3 excitement season. Before that rolls around though (and folks all over the world look to import it, given our western-less time frame), 4Gamer gave us a look at what’s to come....

Link’s Awakening is one of the best Zeldas, if not the best, and this bead art helps make the case

It’s a lot easier to find amazing fan creations from a series likeZelda. It’s withstood the test of time, garnered fans from multiple decades, and has permeated pop culture to the point where a lot of people will at least recognize Link, the Triforce, or Hyrule Castle in some fashion. I’m glad that Nintendo has deemedThe Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakeningworthy of popping up every now and then. While it could have easily been a goofy one-off and never referenced again, they saw fit to create a Game Boy Color port (ports were a rare feat for theZeldaseries outside of a few entries back then) and bring it back with a 3DS re-release....

Mikey flips out in new TMNT: Out of the Shadows trailer

It doesn’t look like poop When Activision pulled the lid offTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows, we admired the combat butsneeredat the Turtles’ grim-dark makeovers. Then Steven Hansenchecked outa preview build, and we all became just a little bit more curious. Now with a new trailer to gawk at, I can personally say I am on board. This latest footage focuses on Michelangelo’s unique fighting style, and I’m surprised by just how fluid and varied it is....

Mishaps in the preview text of choice-based adventure games

I can’t go back, can I? Everyone loves a good choice-based game. They’re simple, but often very effective in allowing us to interact with the game’s world in a more substantial way. Of course, they also present a pretty difficult design challenge, because writers have to make sure the players know what they’re getting themselves into with just a few words, often known as the preview text. Preview text is obviously a necessity, because there’s no way you may fit all of the text you need into a little tiny button for the player to press, but it can sometimes cause the player some problems....

Monaco coming to Linux with a ‘ton’ of free content

No hints as to what that content could be though I had a great time withMonacofor weeks on end after launch, and was kind of disapointed that it didn’t seem to catch on with a mass audience. Was it the Xbox Live delay? Or perhaps it was the learning curve, preventing people from jumping in online on PC? We may never know, but it’s nice that the game is still being supported....

Monday Mind Teasers: Worm Food (Hell yeah! Tremors game!)

Reasons why you should play this game: Seriously, did I have to keep typing after “you play as aTremor“? Because of the clever level design, you’re not restricted to just playing in the ground and surfacing for short periods of time. Much like a South African great white shark, you may dive deep, aim for the surface and gain enough momentum to shoot yourself across the sky, over hills, or into different floating island landmasses in the sky....

PAX: Hands-on with Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask

As great as theProfessor Laytongames are (they are really great!), the last four released on the Nintendo DS have been very similar. While the art direction, puzzle-solving gameplay, and surprisingly emotional stories have been stellar, none of the last games really did anything new and shocking to move the series forward. WithProfessor Layton and the Miracle Mask(the series’ first entry on the 3DS), things are definitely changing. And, if the demo I got to play at PAX was any indication, these changes are definitely for the better....
