Ikarugafrightens me. I tried to play it once and it smacked me and told me I am terrible at videogames and also not a very good human being.

See,he absolutely deteststhe Xbox Live Arcade port, despite becoming the top scorer on its leaderboard....

Outside the Walls While I’m not a fan of the bloated and overhyped show, the concept ofAttack on Titanis enough to keep me interested in the games.According to Famitsu, the game is going to be rather fully-featured too, with plenty of content that theWarriorsgames are known for. In addition to 10 playable characters (Eren, Mikasa, Armin, Krista, Sasha, Connie, Jean, Levi, Hange, and Erwin), the story will follow the events of the first season, and it will be easy to pickup if you’ve never seen the show or read the manga before....

A good day in the history of video game preservation Remember the Nintendo Dolphin? The N64 successor that would destroy the PlayStation 2 and put Nintendo back on top? Well, Nintendo ended up naming it GameCube, and it fell abit short of the expectationsof even putting a dent in the PlayStation 2. Still, the GameCube deserves a high place in video game history for providing a home to countless classics. Asspotted by VGC, Ziff Davis Vice President and video game history preservation enthusiast Adam Doree just re-reminded us of that by uploading a remastered version of the GameCube’s original unveiling featuring mostly never-before-seen footage....

‘Early March’ With Nintendo moving most of their efforts into the Switch full-time, it’s a little odd to log into the My Nintendo system and see that much of it is linked to the Wii U. It’s been almost a year since the Switch launched, and it’s high time they actually made the service somewhat useful for their current system. Well, it’s slow-going, but things are in the works. As announced by Nintendo UK, starting in “early March” you’ll have the opportunity to spend Gold Points (read: premium currency you get from buying items) on Switch software....

At least for Italy It has been quite a while since we’ve heard anything about Nintendo’s upcomingpaid online service. Originally meant to launch in the fall of 2017, the service was pushed back to an unspecified 2018 date where Nintendo said they would be unveiling details later in the year (2017). Seeing as how we have less than a week left in 2017, this new bit of news (or mistranslation/rumor), might explain why we haven’t heard a peep about the service....

Teenagers with Attitude! Ever since I, as a grown man, got back into watching Japanese television shows targeted at seven-year-olds, I’ve wanted to see a proper, well-done videogame inspired bySuper Sentai,Power Rangers,Kamen Riderand other parts oftokusatsuculture. And it looks like a bunch of other people did too, or else Behold Studios’Chroma Squad, a tactical RPG based on all the aforementioned things wouldn’t have gotten funded. But it did, and despite a brief legal tussle withPower Rangersproduction company Saban, the game is on the verge of its April 30th release date....

According toSprong, the House of Commons recently debated laying down laws that would force developers to make sure their games will not cause photosensitive seizures. Conservative John Penrose brought the question of increased restrictions to the House, citing that that a cohort’s son had a seizure a year ago while playingRayman: Raving Rabbidson the DS.
