No mention of tripping In a new developer video, director ofSuper Smash Bros.Masahiro Sakurai goes over a lot of juicy details, including the differences between the 3DS and Wii U versions as well as the new characters. The 3DS version and Wii U version will have different levels based on games on the respective consoles. Sakurai also mentions that the 3DS version has thick outlines on the characters because it’s on a handheld and more difficult to see....

Missed opportunity for an easy portmanteau Sure, we might have unofficially known about its existencesince January, but Sega still wants to wow people with the reveal trailer forTotal War: Warhammer. Pretend to be surprised! It’s got theWarhammerstaples: humans, orcs, undead, dwarves, and lots of yelling. It sounds like the campaign can be tackled from the perspective of any of the main races, with narrative tweaks depending on that choice. Total War: Warhammeris only the first in a planned trilogy, which will eventually combine to create “the single largestTotal Warexperience ever....

So fresh and so clean, clean Some of you know this, but I have a cat. And boy, what a cat he is. samepic.twitter.com/sk3iEWSLaF — pussy-getting bloggr (@dtoidsteven)Jun 14, 2025 As such, I am perpetually covered in lint. Look at that luxurious hair. Sure, if I’m wearing black, it’s doubly apparent, but I have lily white bath towels equally covered with fuzz. I live with it, though. I’m an about-video-games writer online; I don’t need to look nice, mostly, nor do I need lint rollers....

Keep that dungeon locked Unnecessary negativity is a blight, especially for writers. It can poison the mind and alienate the reader; a cancerous state of mind that serves nobody. Personally, I try and avoid it whenever possible. That mentality does me no favors. Now, keep this in mind when you read the following: what I played ofSuper Dungeon Brosat E3 2015 isreallybad. I don’t want to disparage the backbreaking work that goes into making video games, nor do I wish to crush somebody’s love for their work with this preview....

Coming next summer Dontnod Entertainment has never been one to shy away from tough subject matter. For its next game, theLife is Strangedeveloper is tackling its most sensitive material yet. Tell Me Whyis the next episodic adventure game from Dontnod. It tells the story of a brother and sister who recount their upbringing in a small Alaskan town. Tyler and Alyson Ronan are identical twins, and Tyler is a transgender man....

The Everything Burrito may not beentirelyedible, but it’s definitely the most perfect thing in existence. Today, Allistair Pinsof knows what madeRainbow Six 3so special, the Destructoid Live panel returns for PAX Prime against the event organizers’ better judgment, community member Stevil draws attention to our physically aging game heroes, reviews forGrowlanser: Wayfarer of Timeand the ROCCAT Kone[+] mouse drop like hot potatoes, and some poor sap got “Mass Effected” after earning a million coins inNew Super Mario Bros....

Capcom has unleashed a “Mega Man Summer Pack” on Steam, and it’s worth raving about. For $29.82 (normally $134.94) you’re getting amassive chunkofMega Man, spanning multipleLegacy Collections,Mega Man 11, and theZero/ZX Legacy Collection. If you were to pick upthe recent-ishBattle Networkre-releases, you’d have a pretty good collection of many mainlineMega-games. you may cross-check that for yourself in the image below, taken from myMega Mancollection (which I started in 1990!). Here are all the games you get with the Mega Man Summer Pack (with reviews!...

P.S. please alter my pants as fashion dictates [Boy howdy, the outfits the heroines of recently released games wear are not only cool and elegant but surprisingly doable in real life. It was cool to scroll down this cblog to see video game characters in their default models, then real-life people wearing similar clothing. ~Strider] The title “sartorial gamer” is perhaps not accurate in many ways. I’m not a huge buyer of designer clothing, rarely wander into second-hand vintage clothing shops, and I sometimes even walk out of the house with my jumper on back to front....

Way more enjoyable than the Mortal Kombat live-action series So Machinima’sStreet Fighter: Assassin’s Fistseries is surprisingly enjoyable to watch. I was worried this would be another hit-or-miss situation as with the live-actionMortal Kombatstuff, but that’s not the case here. I believe that’s largely attributed to there being less reliance on special effects. Anyway, all 13 episodes are now available to stream.Assassin’s Fistdetails the coming of age story of Ryu and Ken, showing how Gokun thought the street fighters the Hadouken technique....

And we gonna let it burn Wildfireis a spell-casting “stealth game where everything burns” coming to PC on August 09, 2025. It’s a collaboration between Australian developer Dan Hindes (of Sneaky Bastards) and Humble Publishing. If that one-line summary wasn’t enough to get you to watch the trailer, well, I can’t relate. The concept drew me in right away! Branded a witch and (almost) burned alive at the stake, it’s now you versus the world, and you’ve got some devilishly powerful abilities that leverage fire, water, and earthly magic....

Retains more water than my face Following on from last week’s excellent obscurityThe Astyanax, this week sees Hamster add another relatively unknown title to its Arcade Archive range. Now available on PS4 and Nintendo Switch,Guzzleris a post-Pac-Manmaze title from Tehkan Electronics. Originally released in arcades in 1983,Guzzlerputs players in control of a cute little dude with fantastic water-retaining abilities. Each of the game’s 30 stages sees “Guzzler” drinking up puddles of water before extinguishing a variety of fire-based enemies and their respective generators....

Got to get you into my life Rain Worldhas met itsKickstarter funding goaland, with a week left, is close to its first stretch goal that would increase the likelihood of the game being ported to other platforms. Namely, Linux, but Wii U, Vita, and just about every other console are fair game. I need this on my Vita. In celebration of the successfully ongoing campaign, the developers released a new video showing off different areas inRain World‘s, uh, rain world....

Not enough to shift Mario from the top spot Things are fairly quiet on all fronts when it comes to the post-Holiday UK Charts. While the stores no doubt feverishly wait for Capcom’sResident Evil 2and Square Enix’sKingdom Hearts III,a selection of great titles jostle around the Top Ten. Last week saw take-off for Bandai Namco’sAce Combat 7: Skies Unknown,with the action-packed dogfighter debuting at number two in this week’s rankings. It wasn’t enough to shift Nintendo’sNew Super Mario Bros....
