When you think of Nintendo, you probably don’t think of horror. That’s why a lot of people are a little perturbed to see theMariocreator posting a new video that’s not only mysterious, but it’s creeping people out. And we don’t even know what it’s actually in relation to. Anyone who’s anyone knows the kind of games Nintendo is known for, so it’s quite the mystery to see this short horror teaser that simply asks “who is Emio?...
Call me crazy, but I believe the rumors that they’ll show the next Smash DLC character and that the sun is hot E3 is nearly upon us again and a lot has changed since 2018, but one thing remains the same: the internet’s unquenching thirst forNintendo Directs. I revel in this season of speculation and anticipation, so much that last year I wrotea piece discussing which Switch exclusives we are most likelyto see at the show....
Vigil Games’Darksiders: Wrath of Warwas one of the better action-adventure games in recent memory. Plus, it was a new IP with a cool premise — and it’s actually getting amuch-deserved sequel. So many elements went terrifically right on this one, I was almost led to believe the planets aligned for THQ. The reason I say “almost” is this: the PC version ofDarksiderswas supposed to hit this summer. It’s now being held back until September 24, unfortunately....

‘Several issues have been fixed to improve gameplay experience’ Pokemon Sword and Shieldcame out in November of 2019, and my how time flies. I mean, adding two very spread out DLC campaigns will extend the life of your game fairly well, and I think at this point I prefer that single SKU additive approach over starting all over with a “third or fourth” version of the game: hopefully it continues! But despite how additive Game Freak was, there is still a laundry list of things fans want them to add, namely the National ‘Dex....
Steve Wozniak, computer wizard and one of the founding fathers of Apple, has boasted about his mad Game BoyTetrisskillson severaloccasions. According to Steve, he still walks around town armed with a few Game Boy Lights (Japanese-exclusive backlit GB model) and severalTetrispaks. He apparently goes through copies of the game like toilet paper, buying additional paks on eBay whenever his older ones get stolen, lost, or presumably worn out from obsessive use....
Musccccccccccclllllleeeee Bussstttaaaaahhhh When I was a child, I use to collect these small flesh colored rubber men. They were pretty odd, but they were all unique. They were called Muscle Men, and I had an army of them. Then my destructive self decided to let them meet their fate to an exercise bike wheel that acted like a grinder. The little figures melted on to the wheel as it spun. Today, we’re gonna playKinnikuman Muscle Grand Prix Max 2....
The first 10 hours of spoilers We found out last week that Destructoid would not be receiving a review copy ofThe Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wildfor the Wii U. We only got the Switch copy Chris Carter reviewed earlier this week. As the person selected to review the Wii U version of this long-awaited game, I have not read his review. Or any review for that matter. I don’t even know what its Metacritic score is....
Anakin Birdwalker Rovio has justteased a new picture todaythat hints at what’s coming next for theAngry Birdsfranchise — specifically,Angry Birds Star Wars. Pretty much everyone will recognize this as the iconic poster forStar Wars: A Phantom Menace, before everyone realized that it was a trap. Full details will be announced on July 15th, and although Rovio is calling this a “new game,” it is possible that it’ll be incorporated as DLC intoAngry Birds Star Wars....

If you purchased the originalSkullgirlson the PS3, you should have received a private message with a link to downloadSkullgirls Encorefor free. It took me a couple of days to get mine, but now that I’ve got it, I won’t be putting it down for a while....
The cycle begins anew Sega recently hosted a special event in Toyko to celebrate the 25th anniversary ofSonic the Hedgehog, which originally launched for the Sega Genesis — or Mega Drive, if you’re nasty — on June 01, 2025. During the ceremony, Sonic Team boss Takashi Iizuka confirmed the“completely new”entry in the series his staff are currently working on will be released sometime next year. While Sega has yet to officially reveal the title, the company has for months been teasing its announcement, which is expected to take place at the Blue Blur’s July 22 anniversary party in San Diego....
And does the character justice Zipping around inSpider-Man(PS4) for the first time at E3 brings back memories ofBatman: Arkham Asylum, and I mean that in all the best ways. Rocksteady raised our collective expectations for superhero games in 2009; Insomniac ison trackto do the exact same thing this year. Yes,Spider-Manlooks impressive, and it has since day one. The more story-centric (and villain-packed) trailer that premiered on-stage at E3was not short on spectacle....
Ponds are more involved than you might think This morning, my eyes wanted to stay permanently shut. I stayed up late playingStardew Valleyagain, this time thanks toversion 1.4, a wide-reaching update that breathes new life into the game. My main save file isn’t even on PC–I’ve migrated to Switch–but I couldn’t wait to become a fish farmer. Some people like to experience everythingStardew Valleyhas to offer, taking each day as it comes and never letting a letter go unanswered....
