Cabinet and first demonstration debuting at fan event Square Enix’sFinal Fantasy-filled PSP fighter is continuing not on Sony’s subsequent handheld or, as fans have always wanted, on consoles. Rather, the next iteration is a three-on-three arcade fighter, the cabinet for which is going to be announced April 10 (just two days from my birthday, hint hint, folks) at theDissidia Final FantasyClosed Conference 2015. Along with the cabinet reveal, Square will cut another trailer....

Tecmo Koei’sNinja Gaiden 3announcement for gamescom is that the game will fully support PlayStation Move. There are unfortunately no other details beyond that basic fact. It should be interesting to see how Move works with the series, which has been historically rather punishing. How will it handle at the hardest difficulties, for instance? There’s something we should probably know more about. This is one of those things where it’s a nice bonus for those who can make use of it, but otherwise, can’t say I really care much....

Nintendo announced today that Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders in the U.S. will begin next week after uncertainty due to recent tariffs placed by the current American administration. The company was forced to delay pre-orders out of the original April 9 date due to the ongoing global economic uncertainty, but Nintendo today locked in a date of April 24 for players in the U.S. to attempt to get access to their own new console....

The year 2024 was certainly a good time for PlayStation, with its wave of overtly entertaining RPGs, co-op titles, platformers, and many more. We’re here to celebrate its accomplishments by welcoming you to our nominee list for the best PlayStation 4/5 games in 2024. But before we dive into nominees, you should at least know our guidelines for this list before moving forward. We’ll only be looking at games from December 2023 to November 2024, so titles that have only just been released this year won’t be making it....

Have you playedOctodad? If not, your soul may be in need of some repair. A fully functioning human soul is instinctively drawn to all free videogames about octopuses disguised as a family men. That’s just science. Octodadwas created by equal parts dedication to craft and total surrender to inspiration. At least, that’s what I believe Phil Tibootski (president of Young Horses, developer ofOctodad) means when he says that whileHalohelped inspire him to become a game developer, that he and his team are willing to entertain any and all ideas for potential new games....

Podtoid 437 Fun fact: did you know this is the longest wait we’ve seen in the west between the launch of a console and the debut of a new entry in theAnimal Crossingfranchise? It’s true. Most of the other core games in the series hit their respective consoles within two years. WithNew Horizons, it’s taken more than three years to finally show up. But you know what? It’s worth the wait....

Nazi Zombie Armywill be available on Steam for $14.99 starting February 28, though pre-purchasers can save anextra 20 percent right now....

For people rich enough for 4K but too poor to buy their own movies In a move destined for failure, Redbox will soon be allowing rentals of certain movies in 4K Ultra HD. You know, the definition so high that only enthusiasts want it enough to pay near a thousand dollars for a setup? Well, soon enough those privileged few can go to their local Walgreens and wrestle with the meth addicts, so that they can throw their heads under the sun visor and spend $2....

Now thatNexandNagikohave warmed you up to the idea ofCrackdown, let me sweeten the pot with some choice video of in-game action. Hear that Scottish accent? That’s Billy, and you can see that Billy knows a thing or two about playingCrackdown. While he may not be pwning you this very second, come Feb 20th, he will do so and do it hard. You see “Billy” is actually Billy Thomson, lead designer ofCrackdown....

Clear your schedule for Outer Worlds Stories about Xbox Game Pass can be a little weird from our side because a lot of it is repeat territory. For instance, the headliner today isThe Outer Worlds, which we’ve known would be a day-one addition for a long time. On the flip side,Subnauticais coming to Game Pass and it’s the first time that’s been mentioned anywhere. So, we’re left to sift through a bunch of old posts, comparing them to press releases, and quietly wondering “Wait, what’s actually news here?...

‘We could definitely see ourselves returning to Kickstarter in the future’ Although I had a feelingShovel Knightwould take off, I didn’t think it would take off as much as it did. I mean the little guy has a cameo in pretty much everything from puzzle games to rhythm romps now, and even managed to snag appearances fromGod of War‘s Kratos andBattletoads‘ trio. But this level of success didn’t just come out of nowhere: it was slow going....
