After revealing SteamWorld Dig 2 at the start of Nintendo’s first ever Nindies Presentation just a week before the system launched, Nintendo Senior Manager for Publisher & Developer Relations Damon Baker said that Nintendo was aiming to “secure a constant flow of innovative content that shows the fun of playing games” and pledged to “prioritize
Month: March 2019
Rumors have been circulating the last month or two revolving around Xbox branching outside of their own ecosystem. It first started when we heard that Xbox was going to show Xbox Live coming to iOS, Android, and more surprisingly, Nintendo Switch. At first, we all thought that this was just another way for players to connect
It hasn’t been long since SEGA released Yakuza Online to mobile devices and PC. The free to download mobile game has already seen success in Japan and we may see it soon in the West with a localized version. According to an interview with Otaquest and Exile Sekai, SEGA’s Toshihiro Nagoshi, the chief creative officer
There’s no question that The Witcher 3 raised the bar on game design, with the game lauded from every outlet under the sun. And following a recent promotion, we can expect CD Projekt Red’s upcoming title to have the same quality. It appears that Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, Game Director for The Witcher 3 has been promoted and is now
There are so few developers as open about their games as developer Obsidian Entertainment is with their upcoming project, The Outer Worlds. Despite seemingly new updates rolling out about the game every week, the developers always appear to have some new tidbit of information about the Fallout like RPG. This week, Co-Directors Leonard Boyarsky and Tim Cain go on a
Everyone who has played Resident Evil 2 knows Mr. X, a.k.a Tyrant. He is one of the most frightening characters we have seen in games recently which can be attributed to his determination to destroy. Now picture this thwarting figure as Thomas the Tank Engine. Thanks to a few modders, this picture is now a
If you are anything like us, your hopes may have been dashed in the apparent reveal that the (still mysterious) Persona 5 R may be skipping Nintendo Switch. In any case, developer Atlus may be feeding the rumor mill once again — in a recent survey to both Eastern and Western fans, the studio wants to know what
I’m just going to say it–European cosplayers really know what they’re doing. Whether we are talking the impeccable Persona 5 Makoto cosplay or the spot-on Futaba cosplay, they have been raising the game in recent months. But with Apex Legends picking up a huge chunk of the Battle Royale market share, it’s no wonder that new characters are
While Resident Evil 2 remake may be slowly leaving the horror meta, one fandom still remains: Mr. X. He has become a talking point, whether we are talking about our unbridled love of the character or some of the more sultry mods, he is the Capcom superstar that this generation deserves. And while the fandom around his character
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a masterpiece. Everything about it oozes creativity, ingenuity, and pushes the video game medium into an entirely different stratosphere. Part of what makes the game so great is the atmospheric melodies that will chime in while on your adventures. While this rendition of the series doesn’t feature
Despite my luke-warm review of Far Cry New Dawn, there is a lot to truly appreciate the game and developer Ubisoft’s direction. Looking beyond the brand new RPG lite mechanics pushed into the game, there was another major change to the Far Cry formula–the creation of a storyline sequel. And while the open-ended “true ending” of Far Cry 5 would
Last year during E3, Bethesda Announced The Elder Scrolls: Blades, the first game from the iconic series to release specifically for mobile platforms. Even though the game has been shown off a couple of times, one at E3 last year and another at Apples Keynote, not much else has been shared about the game. Well,
Stardew Valley is one of those games that just puts you in that comfy relaxation mood we all love. It is why I fell in love with the game about a year ago when I finally downloaded it on my Switch. So I am happy to see that the game is getting more language support over on
Apex Legends has come out of nowhere, almost literally, and has become a phenomenon. Not only has the game been able to capture the magic that the battle royale genre provides, but I also believe it is the best battle royale game to be released as of yet. The mixture of hero-based gameplay as well
Back in September, Bandai Namco announced that they’d be bringing the latest Sword Art Online JRPGs to the Nintendo Switch. Both Sword Art Online: Hollow Realization and Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet will be coming to the console-handheld hybrid in the west sometime later this year. Yesterday, we got a new trailer that focuses on the story, multiplayer, and gameplay of Hollow
UK-based games publisher PQube Games has announced that they are partnering with Arc System Works in order to release Kill la Kill IF in Europe for PlayStation 4, PC, and Nintendo Switch. In a follow up tweet they confirmed there would be a English dub and a sub. In response to whether there will be
Responding on Twitter to a fan inquiring as to what Chris Avellone has been up to recently in regards to work, the man himself replied that he has “just finished up work with Jedi: The Fallen Order…” This is the first time we’re hearing that Chris Avellone was working on the project, and lends some
There’s been an eleven-year gap between the release of Devil May Cry 4 and Devil May Cry 5. So it’s pretty reasonable to assume that some fans may be iffy on the game’s storyline going into the fifth entry in the series. Fear not; Capcom has provided fans with a handy trailer that’ll get you up to speed with
There’s been a lot of hubbub about Anthem since it was originally revealed back at E3 2017. As a drastic departure from BioWare’s previous games, many seemed hesitant to see the beloved developer join the ranks of Destiny, The Division, and Warframe with its own take on the loot shooter sub-genre. Despite the concerns though, I was always very much
Cygames has announced that they’ll be celebrating the fifth anniversary of their mobile title Granblue Fantasy with a livestream centered around the series on March 9. It’s likely that we’ll definitely get a chance to see some new characters in the Arc System Works-developed fighting game Granblue Fantasy Versus. You’ll have to wake up early to check out the
Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid from nWay, Hasbro, and Lionsgate was announced back in January on the same day Mortal Kombat 11 was fully unveiled due to a leak. From the initial reveal onwards, the developer opened teased to sites like DualShockers that Lord Drakkon would be playable in the final game. That being
Of all the sparse details we have on Halo Infinite at the moment, likely the biggest piece of new information that we know of is that the game will feature a new engine, known as Slipspace. This was revealed initially in the first trailer for Halo Infinite which debuted last year during Microsoft’s E3 2018 showing. In
Logan, Mike, and DualShockers’ own Max Roberts played a whole lot of Anthem this past week and discuss their thoughts on BioWare’s latest. They also talk about a potential next-gen announcement from Microsoft at E3 2019. Oh, and Bowser runs Nintendo now. Here’s everything we discuss in Episode 14: Anthem is not very good ToeJam
I’ve had my eye on Chocobo’s Mystery Dungeon Every Buddy! ever since it was announced last year. While I haven’t played the previous game in this Final Fantasy sub-series, I do love the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games and have been charmed by this new title’s aesthetic. In February, we learned that it would be releasing on
I’ve been a longtime fan of Hörberg Productions’ Gunman Clive games so I was very happy to see them announce an entirely new title: Mechstermination Force. Described as a mix between Shadow of the Colossus and Contra, the game is a sidescrolling boss rush platformer where players take on fourteen large robots called MegaMechs. Shortly after
Sometime last month, the Japanese page for the remaining PS Vita models was updated, notifying fans and consumers that shipments on both would be ending in the coming days. Now, it’s confirmed that the day has finally come as shipments have stopped altogether for the handheld console. This is essentially the final nail in the coffin
The day has arrived for underground fighting title Dead or Alive 6 as it launches across PC, PS4, and Xbox One platforms. Alongside the launch, more details of the season pass have surfaced. Dead or Alive 6 puts male and female fighters against one another in a one-on-one setting while not only fighting each other, but dealing with
The Dead or Alive series has always been able to carve out its own unique niche in the fighting game space. I’m not normally into 3D fighters, and I prefer 2D, but I was drawn in by Dead or Alive 4’s fun mechanics and have stuck within the mainline series since. That being said, I
For those of you that enjoy video game, movie, TV show, and comic book merchandise, you’ve probably heard of Numskull Designs. Starting today the Numskull brand has announced that it is opening a games publishing company named Numskull Games. They have a focus on bringing new games to digital and retail, but also hope to
While it may not be at the same level of cultural phenomenon that it was when it debuted in summer 2016, Pokemon GO still continues to deliver new events and challenges for players to take on month after month, with the next Raid battles in the game bringing the time-bending Legendary Pokemon, Dialga. Developer Niantic provided
