This week’s Hey Ash Whatcha Playin’ is more of a “hmm” episode than a “haha” episode. So long as you go into it knowing that (and also that our Dad isn’t in it, because I was afraid of overexposing him) you mayenjoy it. Thankfully, there doesn’t seem to be a consensus about the major question the episode poses: everytime I think I’ve read a comment that definitively answers it, I read another that just as definitively muddies the issue again....

This one was personal Recently, Nintendo polled Switch users to settle the age-old question, “is a hot dog a sandwich?” It’s no secretwhere I standon this issue, but I’m happy to report that 54% of voters made the right choice. That’s right people! A hot dog is a sandwich! The National Hot Dog and Sausage Council (I still can’t believe this is actually a thing…) had previously stated that they were not, but they’ve got a brand to protect....

Still no word on a release date for the sequel I know one of the ways I’m going to fill the gap between now and the release ofHotline Miami 2later this year is…. by playing moreHotline Miami. Especially now as Devolver Digital isreleasing the originalHotline Miamion PS4; while the brutal murderthon was already on PS3 and Vita, this is the game’s first appearance on a newer console. Although there’s no real change to the game (not that it needed any), there’s been a few tweaks to take into account some of the extra functionality of the DualShock 4....

If you want to tango with death inElden Ring, no other combination will fit you better than pairing the full Rakshasa armor set with the Rakshasa’s Great Katana. However, getting the items will demand that you stray from the game’s regular pathway. To help all looking to get the DMG increase the armor pieces will offer and who do not mind the received damage boost the items will bring to the table, here’s how to get the Rakshasa armor set and the Rakshasa’s Great Katana inElden Ring....

Never say die Another week, anotherAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsexploit. It makes a whole lot of sense: it’s a simulation game withmillionsof dedicated players. They’re bound to find glitches here and there! But one of the most famous ones for the last several months involves the “fourth level” bug, which allows players to glitch out and create another foundational tier on their island. It’s been a boon for a lot of people in terms of extra creation potential, but Nintendo patched it out....

She’s like Storm but terrifyingly big Jotunis looking pretty neat. It’s a top-down game that gives me more than a bit of aTitan Souls-meets-Shadow of the Colossusvibe, except it also features environmental puzzles and a pretty rad Norse mythology theme. Up until now, we’ve only known about two of the Jotun that would be featured in the game: the adorableWinter Jotun Isa, and theCave Jotun Féwith her Dwarven army. Now developer Thunder Lotus Games has announced the third Jotun, and she’s basically Storm fromX-Men, only cooler....

But they did sell the Rise of Nations franchise The auction for 38 Studios assets happened, and while theRise of LegendsandRise of Nationsfranchises sold for $320,000, no one made a good offer forKingdoms of Amalur. 38 Studios founder Curt Schilling thinks that the series is a “billion dollar franchise“, but it looks like no one else thinks so, or at least they didn’t make a good enough offer. Other franchises that failed to find a buyer include 38 studios MMO, called project Copernicus, and a social gaming platform called “Helios”....

Super Mario Bros. Wonderis finally here, and you may celebrate in physical merch form withthis new My Nintendo reward. Nintendo now has a listing for the “Super Mario Bros. WonderDouble Keychain,” which features Mario in his normal and elephant forms (hence the “double”). It’s a little strange having Mario and his presumed doppelganger on there instead of another character, but what are you gonna do: he sells merch! Mario rewardstypicallygo fast, butat 800 Platinum Points, you’ll want to sit and think on this one for a while....

Hot Ryu too! Here’s a little more on Capcom Heroes, a free new mode in the works forDead Rising 4that’ll let you don special costumes based on characters from other Capcom series. Last time, I wasstoked to seeSissel fromGhost Trick. This time I’m all about that metallic wonder Mecha-Zangief. Other costumes include Cammy, Akuma, M. Bison, and Ryu — specificallyHot Ryu. Capcom knows. Capcom Heroes is targeting a Aug 06, 2025 launch....
