‘We want to maintain the value of our products’ Recently Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawaannounced that Nintendo’s enhanced focused on digital content(on top of DLC) was paying dividends, but don’t expect the publisher to pass those savings on to hardware discounts. Speaking in that same digital discussion Q&A, Furukawa responded to the question of whether or not Nintendo would “lower the price of the Nintendo Switch itself in the next year or two,” with a very simple answer: no....

Your territory is home base inOnce Human. You’ll probably be returning there before andafter every excursion. Your journey, however, will take you all across the big world, so there’s no need for it to stay planted. There are a lot of reasons for why you might want to move your territory. You may want to move it so it’s closer to the region where you’re currently tackling missions. Or maybe you’ve found a nicer spot with a better view where you’d like to plant some roots....

People Can Fly also delayed the full game to July 26, 2025 People Can Fly and Square Enix’s loot-chasing shooter-RPGOutriderswas delayed again, this time slipping from February 2 to April 1. As the studio said ina statement on Twitter, that date is “no joke.” Before it launches on current- and technically-now-last-gen platforms,Outriderswill have a multi-hour demo with co-op, all four classes, and data migration to the full version – which is good, because this game needs it....

PAX is packed with a ton of games, from the big publishers to all them indie rockstars. We’ve looked all over the floor at PAX Prime this year and have selected these ten games that you need to see while you’re here this weekend, or get the second they’re available: There’s way more than just ten games that people need to see, but these ones definitely shine above the rest. Special honorable mention goes out to Twisted Pixel’sLocoCycle....

They’re mostly cosmetic So Atlus has decided to share the DLC schedule for the western release ofPersona 5, and you know what? It’s pretty tame by recent JRPG standards rife with extra scenarios and characters and the like — basically everything is cosmetic. The first round of DLC will includePersona 3and4costumes on April 11, shuffled in with Persona alterations. Then it’ll be delivered weekly until May 2, with a freePersona 5Swimsuit DLC peppered in on April 25....

Catastrophic RPG gets tonally odd trailer Next month sees the long-delayed western release of end-of-days RPGDisaster Report 4: Summer Memories.Publisher NIS America has released a (frankly bizarre) new trailer that looks at the game’s dialogue and choice system, putting our protagonist in some sticky situations in the aftermath of a devastating earthquake. As the player’s custom-made hero picks their way through the hazardous debris of the catastrophic event, they will encounter a whole range of characters in need of assistance....

Size matters Official controllers come in one shape, and one size. Most of us either aren’t bothered by the fact, or have learned to work around it over the years. Being in the former camp, I’ve never really considered the need to help extend the grip of my standard controllers – after all, I have the small, soft hands of a pampered middle schooler. But the need is out there for some folks to find solutions that don’t give their hands cramps during extended gaming sessions....

Plus the song is pretty badass Muramasais gorgeous, this we know. It’s still always a delight to see the game in action though, as is the case with this latest gameplay trailer forMuramasa Rebirth. Not much longer till the release!Rebirthwill be outon the Vita on June 25, and there’s a pretty sweet Collector’s Edition you can get too. You should also go check out ourhands-on preview ofMuramasa: Rebirthto see how the Vita port feels....

I want you all to find a comfortable position where you can fully absorb the majesty of the above video before you hit play. It is quite possibly the single greatest piece of film-as-surreality since Salvador Dali and Luis Bunuel collaborated for 1929’sUn Chien Andalou.The marketing wizards (There is no other term for it. I bet they wear pointy hats to work.) at Square-Enix have captured the joy and whimsy of both their game and a giant fictional bird, as well as the utter terror of a Manson-clan acid trip crica 1971....

How can you breathe?! Change and the internet are two things that don’t get along very well. There could be any number of reasons why, but the biggest is typically fear. As creatures of habit, humans have a hard time reacting to brand new stimuli once we get settled into a routine. We become accustomed to something that we enjoy and get scared that, eventually, it may leave us behind....

Trade show demos usually go one of two ways: well or very well. Even when a game stinks, the demo is usually put together in such a way that you can’t even tell there is a major problem lying under the surface. Sure,Resident Evil 6‘s E3 demo raised some concerns when I played it and some games didn’t exactly float my boat in press demo form, but I’ve never quite been so frustrated and angry at a trade show demo as I was withLost Planet 3....

For Labo VR Labo…remember that product line? While I’m sure everyone with kids is letting out a collective “yes” chant right now, a lot of folks still don’t know what it is: or it completely passed them by after the initial furor and they forgot about it. As someone who’s in the middle of the road on Labo (it’s fun to assemble with the right family member or friend, but the longevity is often lacking), I won’t turn down free stuff....

Also, Danny DeVito and Michael Keaton are in this thing Disney doesn’t seem to know how to stop these live-action remakes of their classic animated films, andDumbo,from Tim Burton, isone of their latest efforts. Afteran initial teasershowed what the basic premise of the film will be, a full trailer expanded on what we may see from the film’s plot and characters. It also reminded us that Danny DeVito is in this thing....
