A new challenger approaches Hello Destructoid! I’m Eric, and I’m joining on as a Senior News Reporter for the site. Over the past six or so years, I’ve covered a lot in the realm of video games, reported and otherwise. I’ve written for a few different sites as both a staff member and as a freelancer, though you’ll probably recognize me most as one of the folks from USgamer. One thing the last year has made very clear is that news, as it pertains to video games, can be a much wider blanket than you’d think....

Legendary kunoichi returns This morning, Japanese video-sharing site NicoNico listed a trailer a little early, revealing that ninja assassin, Taki, is the next character to return toSoulcalibur VI. The video was quickly removed, but re-uploaders move fast, and the cat is most assuredly out of the bag. Taki first appeared in 1995’sSoul Edgeand has been a series veteran since (although she did duck out during the last entry;Soulcalibur V).

I played a single round with Gnaw and I think I have a new favorite character....

A slew of games are clamouring for your attention over the next seven days, some of them really rather good. At the top of the pile, however, isSaints Row IV.I didn’t think the series would ever reach the lofty heights of the purple gang’s second outing again, but I was dead wrong. I have the tentacle marks to prove it....

This weekend you can participate in a “Royal Tournament,” which will allow royalty-based characters to play for spirit-based rewards and in-game points. For extra oomph, you’ll be fighting in castle arenas (neat!). Okay, soKingDedede,Princess Peach/Daisy/Zelda, many members ofFire Emblemroyal families: that all checks out as they are prominently displayed in the teaser image for the event....

The games we gave up on Between my DS, my 3DS, Wii, Wii U, Switch, PlayStation 4, Vita, Steam, NES Classic, SNES Classic, and the three Xbox 360 Burger King games I just bought off eBay, I have a backlog of roughly 350 titles. I don’t want to know how many hours of play that translates into because it’ll only remind me I’m in the waning years of my life and death steps closer to me every day....

Also, well over 1 billion games sold Sony didn’t bring the PlayStation 5 to CES, although that isn’t much of a surprise. We thought there might be talk of the tech side of things — the internal components that make the whole thing run — but that never came to fruition.We got the official PS5 logo, though. However, Sony did bring some updated statistics as to how far the PlayStation web sprawls....
