Dataminer “Simon,” who is part of the same effort as folks likeKapuccinoHeck, has discovered thatNintendo has removed all the SNES stringsfrom the Switch Online app in the newest update this week. Given that Nintendo did this exact same thing forSmash Ultimate, potentially concealing upcoming DLC characters, it’s safe to say that it’s becoming standard practice for the company....

Classically, placebos are given in medicinal studies in order to account for the effect. Unsurprisingly, this effect extends to video games.

The Wii is just about to wrap up its tenure at Nintendo’s flagship home console, and looking back, it’s clear to see that third parties often failed to make the most of the system. They regularly used the Wii as an opportunity to crap out less fun games than they would expect to get away with on the PS3/360, hoping that they could replace craftsmanship and creativity with some poorly thought out, tacked on motion controls without penalty....

Praise be to Yevon! What can I do for you? I can’t hear you. Square Enix hears you, and according to research analystDavid Gibson,Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remastersold 208,000 copies during the month after its March 18 release. That’s a lot of copies. Maybe it’s more than amount of times I cringed at the “Y.R.P. in position” scene inFinal Fantasy X-2, as pictured above. I got jokes, but in all honesty, I’m a huge fan of both games, and Dale definitely dug the remastered editions of both....

I’m a big fan of the chainsaw, so whenGears of Warwas initially announced I collapsed on the floor and nearly died out of excitement. A gun with a chainsaw attachment is a brilliant thing, and I don’t think I will be any less inclined to love it the second time around withGears of War 2.

The league meets once a week and is comprised now of over nine couples....

Fallout 4 never looked so good AfterEnslaved: Odyssey to the WestandThe Last of Us, I’m hard pressed to remember games that have a post apocalypta that’s defined by greenery. It’s some mix of narcissism and genuine concern, thatwecan so permanently destroy “our” world, the the Earth as it’s been for a long time won’t be when we’re done with it. And unless you pull aFury Road, that makes more a lot of dull, dusty video game settings....
