The Teal Mask forPokemon ScarletandVioletis out now, as the first DLC for this generation of Pokémon. It might have been a while since you last ventured into Paldea, so Nintendo has released astory recapto get you up to speed ahead of thePokémonDLC. To be frank, it’s not an incredibly in-depth story recap. Those who are a little spoiler-averse should be fine watching it, as it mostly goes over the broad strokes ofPokémon ScarletandViolet, rather than any late-game revelations....

Some new, some old Nintendo showed a ton of games today. In fact, all they practically showed is games outside ofa brief Miiverse update. While I wasn’t wowed by anything other thantheamazingMega ManSmash Bros.revealand aDonkey Kong Country Returnsfollow-up, Nintendo delivered the goods to fans with tons of first party titles. I expected Nintendo to give alittlemore of a third party push thanBayonetta 2, but the console is still young, and there’s time to show off more projects in due time....

Yesterday was one of the worst days in my career as Weekend Editor here at Destructoid. I don’t write on weekdays, which usually doesn’t bother me much, but all of a sudden James Bond news starts flying out from everywhere and I couldn’t write a single post on it. See, I am a major, major Bond fan, and I had to sit helplessly as a new game was announced and I didn’t get to write about it....

The Wide Wide World of Suda-Sports Is this anotherApril Fools’ joke, or did that crazy sonofabitch actually go and do it? Last timewe interviewed Suda51, CEO of Grasshopper Manufacture, I asked him if he’d ever makea badminton game. Suda was a budding star in the sport back in his early years at school, and those days still mean a lot to him. He told us that if he were ever to do something with badminton, he’d want it to be a massive crossover between all his franchises, includingNo More Heroes(which his company partially owns) andShadows of the Damned(which they fully own)....

At ease for this slick strain Sega is still knocking out the character music videos for its upcoming RPGProject Sakura Wars.Following on from musical numbers for stars such asLancelot,Elise,AzamiandSakura herself,this new video looks at new character Anastasia Palma. Unlike some of the previous tunes, that carry a morebombastic, military pride,Anastasia’s theme “Kaeru Basho” is a little cooler and alluring, no doubt reflecting the attitude of the lady herself. As with previous songs, it is performed by the respective character’s voice actor, in this case Ayaka Fukuhara....

Kojima Productions’ Yuji Korekado has stated for the record thatMetal Gear Rising: Revengeanceis not being considered for Wii U, and has offered a pretty flimsy reason as to why. According to the producer, the Wii U’s biggest feature is the GamePad, which in his mind is not an actual controller. “One of the strongest appeals of the Wii U is the GamePad,” he toldEurogamer. “However, we’ve constructedMetal Gear Risingso you can fully enjoy the game on the controllers whether it’s on the PS3 or the Xbox....

Probably a good call With high-end virtual reality headsets coming to PC and PlayStation 4 over the past couple years, the common presumption was that Xbox was just waiting for the right opportunity to enter the market. Xbox leaders even suggested as much whendescribing the potential of the Xbox One Xback when it was still Project Scorpio. And, thatpartnership between Oculus and Microsoftwas always a strong indication that the Rift might be a VR platform that could be adapted to run on an Xbox....

Okay, so it’s Saturday and news is always slow on the weekends. Still, I think I would have posted about this any other day in any case. Why? Because it’s f**king Nathan Fillion!
