We walk the streets at night… [Note: Destructoid’s robot mascot, former news manager Conrad Zimmerman, and I appear briefly in the opening cinematic forDevil’s Dare. We’ll be giving outSteam codes for the game tomorrow on Sup Holmesif you want one.] Secret Base it probably most well known for its incredible mock-ups for theoreticalGhostbustersandThe Avengersgames for the NES. It’s clear that the developer has a passion for adapting live-action fantasy/sci-fi icons for classic games, even when they don’t legally have the right to....

Will be a PS2 Classic Atlus has confirmedthatPersona 4is coming to the PlayStation 3. It’s going to be a PS2 Classic, which was expected though we all really really really wantedP4 Goldeninstead. You’ll be able to nab this starting on April 8 for $9.99. That’s all for this news update, so to pad the post out a little more here’s a nightmare version of the opening toPersona 4. This is actually really old, but I like throwing attention to it whenever I can because I’m f*cking weird and really like it....

‘Children are complicated’ School, right? We’ve all been there. One day you’re studying for tests and gossiping with friends, the next day you and the entire student population of your school have been turned intopineapples. I hate it when that happens. Thelast time we sawNo Pineapple Left Behind, it was looking very sketchy, but our old friend Alasdair still saw the good in its concept. Today, it’s a lot more presentable, but it maintains the strange premise of running a school populated with the tropical fruit, who still take tests and get grades, but do so without thedrama associated with actual teenagers....

I am literally livid with myself for not knowingthat theseexisted before today. Evidently Nintendo was giving away pinkPunch-Out!!hoodies just like Little Mac wears at the Nintendo World Store in New York yesterday. Now I live in DC, but had I known they were doing this I would have driven all the way up and back in one day to secure one. I didn’t know awesome was a fabric until I saw this....

You say armor, I say armour Planning on picking upHalo 5: Guardians? If you do, and play online before June 19, 2025, you’ll get the Teishen Raikou armour set for nowt. That’s British for “nothing”. For free. Nada. Zip. And so on. Right now we don’t have scooby why you’d want special armour – or even what that armour does – but it’s free so yay for that. The reveal came at the end of Microsoft’s super awesomeHalo 5: Guardianslaunch trailer, which I’ve conveniently embedded for you because I’m lovely, I am....

Hey there boys and girls! You know about all thattalkofDiablo IIIcomingtoconsoles, right? Well I’m here to tell you to not get your hopes up because hopes and dreams are stupid. And also because Sony is about to give us the next best thing withRuin,the working title of Sony’s next big RPG on the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita. Ruin(Working title) (PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita [Previewed])Developer: Idol MindsPublisher: SCERelease: TBA 2012...

Daturais one of those games that compels you to share your in-game experience with friends as if you’re telling a grand story about some meaningful feat you accomplished. For me personally, it tends to be exploration-centric games likeFallout: New Vegasthat evoke such a response. While Plastic Studios’ latest project for PlayStation 3 is no open-world game in that sense, it does allow the player to walk around freely while trying to understand their unsettling surroundings....

The lead designer ofViva Piñata Trouble in Paradise, Justin Cook, recently disclosed that Rare is not immediately interested in another sequel to the family franchise. Cook said “As far as the team is concerned we are taking a break from VP for a while to make something new.” WhileVPis certainly noWii Fit, I think it’s interesting that Microsoft is willing to allow a casual franchise to sit on the backburner for a while....

Hideo Baba discusses high-definition RPG bundle Tales of Symphoniais reportedly receiving a high-definition re-release on PlayStation 3.Speaking withKoi-Nya, series producer Hideo Baba teased what he is calling “a representation of the dreams and hopes of the fans, who have long been wanting it.” In addition to the acclaimed GameCube and PlayStation 2 role-player,Tales of Symphonia: Perfect Editionwill apparently include the previously Wii-exclusive sequel,Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World. Namco Bandai has yet to officially comment or divulge any release information for such a compilation....

It’s also not outrageously priced Yesterday, Microsoft announced itsfirst official HDDfor the Xbox One in the form of a Seagate 2TB external, which connects by way of USB 3.0. Although most units around that storage capacity are priced at $80 or so, the $110 pricepoint isn’t too bad, especially when you consider Microsoft’s previous HDD price gouging efforts. Setup was extremely easy, as it instantly recognized the drive after plugging it in (no Y cable or power supply needed) with a single USB 3....

A review where you choose the score Disgaea 5 Completeis a Switch port of the original PS4 game, with all of itsrelatively pricey DLC included. This the firstDisgaeagame to hit a Nintendo console sinceDisgaea DSin 2008, giving Nintendo loyalists plenty of reason to be hungry for the unique blend of sacrilegious storytelling and turn-based action that the series is known for. Being the home toFire Emblem, arguably the most popular Strategy JRPG series in the world right now, also helps to make Nintendo consoles particularly fertile ground for something likeDisgaea....

Time-travelling anthropomorphic pilots. What more could you want? As a shmup enthusiast and Grasshopper Manufacture zealot I was pretty vexed to hear thatSine Morawould be exclusive to the Xbox 360. Not only did that mean that I’d personally miss out on the game, but a large swathe of the gaming community wouldn’t be exposed to it either. Luckily though, things have changed in the months since its initial release and PC and PlayStation owners now have an opportunity to experience what we called “boldest and most fascinating games of this generation....

Survey says: maybe? While the nextGod of Wargame is technically untitled, waiting to appear in glorious fashion at some upcoming (probably digital) award show, folks have taken to calling it “God of War: Ragnarok” in the meantime. What do we know about it? Well, not much! The phrase “Ragnarok” is literally the biggest clue, as it provides insight into the setting (Norway) and the crux of the narrative (the actual Ragnarok event)....
