It has those killer games everyone talks about but other times over the past few months it can seem like a big port machine. This E3 though, there’s a storm brewing as endless rumors and confirmed anticipation hangs over Nintendo this year. Metroid Prime, Smash Bros,and evenBayonetta 3are among the confirmed titles we have to speculate details on, not their mere existence....

To some people, there are only two types of games: AAA and indie. Those two descriptors do a hell of a lot of lifting, especially because they’re rarely applied by their definition. I don’t know why the terms are used so broadly since they actually have very specific meanings. I can at least tell you what the specific meaning of “indie” is. As you probably already know, indie is short for independent....

WithGTA 6set for a Fall 2025 release and Rockstar remaining completely silent since dropping the first trailer in December 2023, fans continue to speculate wildly about what the game will look like. From debates overhow muchGTA 6will cost, whetherits lighting will look like GTA 5 Enhanced, andif preorders can be trusted, one recurring discussion in the community is how the game will begin. One theory that keeps resurfacing is that theGTA 6map will be restricted at the start of the story, forcing players to progress through the opening chapter to unlock the full world....

I’ve missed Baby Bowser, that little twerp Yoshi’s Crafted Worldhas a March 29 release date in mind for Nintendo Switch, whileKirby’s Extra Epic Yarnis coming to 3DS just a few weeks earlier on March 8, according to Nintendo. That’s two arts-and-crafts platformers in the same month, and I definitely know which one I’m going to prioritize. Nintendo hasn’t had a whole lot to share aboutYoshi’s Crafted Worldlately, but the game has Poochy Pups as hidden collectibles, Baby Bowser and Kamek make their return, and there’s two-player co-op support....

The titans didn’t fall [Update:According toanalyst Daniel Ahmad, EA has confirmed thatApex Legendshas now broken 2.5 million unique players. The peak concurrent player count has reached around 600,000, which is staggering for a single day.] Respawn Entertainment’sApex Legendssurprise launched, yesterday, after its reveal event. A battle royale game set in theTitanfalluniverse, there wasn’t much time to build hype when its trailer ended with “Available Now.” I wasn’t sure if people would take to the new title since it had stripped theTitanfallname, but it turns out I was wrong....

No frog suit, no buy Super Mario Makerhas been making me think dangerous thoughts about buying a Wii U. It justlooks so charming and sweetthat I’ve been secretly generating rationales and excuses to myself to go out and blow a few hundred dollars I can’t afford on it. If only there was some kind of bucket of cold water, some small complaint I could focus on that would keep me from making a terrible mistake....

The Automatons are now dispersing Factory Striders among their standard forces inHelldivers 2, forcing players to stick to a specific tactic so they stand a chance of beating them. Until this week, theAT-AT-like Factory Striderson Automaton planets were a rare sight. They’d appear now and then, be destroyed or kill a Helldiver, and never be seen again. Now, the Automatons are sending them into missions as reinforcements, and Helldivers are actively taking on missions to hunt them down....
