A man named TriForce is working to change that. He’s a mainstay at Nintendo events, being the first person in the United States to purchase both the Wii and the 3DS.

Both of these things make me happy After recently being reminded by Darren whyStarboundismuch more than“Terrariain space,” I’m inclined to throw money toward the general direction of the game’s developers. With the arrival of pre-orders for this sandbox-style 2D adventure title, fans have the opportunityto do exactly that. “We’re financing the game out of our own pocket and a couple of our team members have had to take on second jobs,”reads a responseon the Q&A page....
Throwing snowballs inHelldivers 2was just a little bit of fun before diving into the firing line and getting chewed up by Automatons, but now it could break the game. While taking the fight to whichever enemy is Super Earth’s current primary target, players can indulge in playfighting with snowballs if they make a snowball and throw it. This requires the Helldiver to stand still for a couple of seconds, so it’s an interaction some players may not even have seen....

It’s simple: each day the Wild Area changes its weather patterns for individual zones in a bid to get you to come back and play regularly....
It’s always disheartening to learn that one of your cherished icons has passed on, but it’s even more disheartening to discover their death months after the fact. Randy Solem, creator of Video Game Director’s Cuts and the “Rise of the Mushroom Kingdom” Flash series,passed awayat age 36 on Jul 17, 2025, due to a negative reaction to his heart medications.

Before they offered to send me a unit for review, I had the Analogue Duo preordered. It would have been the first of the company’s consoles that I ponied up for. That’s because, beyond just being a very nice boutique console, it solves a few problems for me. The Turbografx-16 is anightmare to collect for. Sketchy capacitors mean that a lot of them just die on the shelf, and the typical price of a Turbografx game is ridiculous....
Roguelite deck builder is pretty far from my favorite genre. I’ve enjoyed some of them, but I wouldn’t actively seek out a new one.Rogue Light Deck Builder, on the other hand… That’s becauseRogue Light Deck Builderis about building a deck. Not a deck of cards, but more like something you’d put furniture on so you can stare at your neighbors. However, there are roguelite elements. You’re given $1,000,000, a hammer, and a husband....
It was a dev build All eyes are on Masahiro Sakurai, father ofSmash. Pretty much everything he says is micro-analyzed by theSmashcommunity, includinga recent tweetthat containedthe oldSmash 4“Battlefield” arenawith the Inkling fighter, who is exclusive toUltimateThe catch? Battlefield isn’t actually inSmash Ultimate. While many of us assumed that this was some sort of developer tool and wasn’t actually coming toUltimateproper, Sakurai had to take to Twitter directly in English (something he doesn’t normally do) to squash these rumors....

Our little Tails is all grown up At this point of late-stage-capitalism internet, nothing surprises me anymore. When I saw that Sega had turned precious little Tails into a Vtuber I was like, “of course they did.” There’s also the fact that Sonic got thesame treatmentlast year, so we really should have seen this one coming. He’s going to have his own show called TailsTube, and while all we know so far is that the first episode is dropping sometime next week, there is a teaser up on the official Sonic the Hedgehog Twitter to give us a small taste of what we’re in for....
More platforms added to Kickstarter Wii U, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and Steam. Let’s go ahead and add PlayStation Vita and Vita TV to the list of platforms forShantae: Half-Genie Hero. Clearly, WayForward doesn’t sleep. In a Kickstarter update, the studio wrote that folks have been asking about Vita support, and I can’t blame them — the game deserves to be seen on the handheld’s OLED screen. “As it happens, the landscape of gaming has shifted somewhat today with Sony’sVita TV announcement....
