The game launches August 27 Nintendo Life has revealedmore of the growing cast of characters that’s joiningRunbow, and some of them are pretty surprising. Most notably there’s Gunvolt fromAzure Striker Gunvolt, as well as Teslamancer, Clone, ARID, Xeodrifter, Princess, Max, Drifter, and Unity Chan. They join the previously announced Shovel Knight, Scram Kitty, and CommanderVideo. As I said in my preview, I really liked what I saw, andRunbowhas an awesome old school feel to it....

Shadow Heartsis one of my favorite RPG series, but unfortunately the general public didn’t quite agree. At least, not enough of the public to stop developer Nautilus from falling apart and publisher Aruze from pulling out of the game industry. After many years away from the scene, however, Aruze is coming back. Sadly, it’s not with aShadow Heartsgame. It’s some DS game that you don’t care about,Aoi Don: Hanabi no Kiwami & Hanabi no Takumi....

When it comes to dealing withDestiny 2‘s sunset gear and re-releasing it as part of a new content drop, Bungie’s an iffy track record. It’s exceedingly rare, for one, that a full weapon set returns, and that’s what prompted me to think about Into the Light’s weapon choices, too. To set the stage, we now have a pretty firm grip onDestiny 2‘s upcoming Into the Light content drop. It’s a kinda-sorta celebration ofDestiny‘s history, drawing upon key elements that veteran players may (or may not) recall to deliver something new....

The next event is the Chicken vs. the Egg on August 21 Splatoon 2has a few more hotly-contested questions for us to field throughout 2020. Aside from sharinga piece of artfor the game’s third anniversary, Nintendo announced the next Splatfest revival event – the ancient “chicken or the egg” prompt – will return on August 21 at 3:00 p.m. Pacific, and a pair of “bonus” Splatfests will pop up inSplatoon 2“before the end of March 2021....

A few things are inevitable in life. Death and taxes, of course. And then there’s Bethesda games having weird, physics-y ways of getting around its systems, asStarfieldplayers are currently doing to steal their way across the galaxy. On social media, variousStarfieldplayers are popping up with examples of using the physics ofStarfieldto steal some good loot out from under guards and NPCs. Usually, when you pick up an item inStarfieldthat you’re not supposed to (noted by the red icon in the corner of its pop-up description), guards will be alerted....

Travis strikes again Suda51 talked vaguely about a new Travis Touchdown game — the lead character from the Wii’sNo More Heroes— at Nintendo’sSwitch conference. The best news, though, for those of us who haven’t been as thrilled withrecent Grasshoppergames as we were for, say,Killer7: Suda51 is writing and directing this new (far off; 2019? 2020?) project, according to4Gamer. While he “cannot say…yet” if this is formallyNoMore Heroes 3, he did note, “I will write all the scripts and I will do the direction for the first time in 10 years,” referring to, incidentally, the firstNo More Heroes....

I thought I had seen theworst video game port ever. I was wrong. Today, news hit our internets that this summer, lucky Japanese Wii owners will have the opportunity to buyResident Evil Zerofor their belovedshow stealing console. ByResident Evil Zero, I donotmean theResident Evil Zerothat has been available for the GameCube (and therefore, the Wii) for more than five years. ThatResident Evil Zerois barely interesting, which is probably why it’s probably the least popular numbered game in the series....

Start the rhythm-violence all over again Nintendo, unlike it’s contemporary competitors, isn’t too keen on offering sales. This statement applies doubly to the eShop, which tends to overcharge customers as is, and only offer decent sales on Capcom titles most of the time. Thankfully, there’s a decent sale on through next week for everyone’s favorite ‘rhythm violence’ video game and/or nightmare simulator,Thumper. Thumpernormally runs for $20, but with the25% eShop discount, you’re able to snag this title for just $15....

You can take another crack Most of the achievements and trophies inCult of the Lambare only a matter of time, but I was nervous about needing to topple the main bosses without taking any damage to unlock “Order,” “Sate,” “Cure,” and “Peace.” After trading blows with every bishop in my original playthrough, I figured therehadto be some way to initiate a rematch — the notion of needing to start a new save seemed out of whack with the rest of the game’s player-friendly tendencies....

There is hope Tony Hawk 5will be here at the end of September, and developer Robomodo has drastically changed the art style up as of this week. My take? It’s a clear response to the negativity surrounding the original style, which was criticized as generic and drab. I mean, I’m still interested (not excited), butI’m kind of aTony Hawkfanatic. If this can recreate the feeling that the original games gave me, I’ll be happy....

PSX walk with me For fans of obscure PlayStation games and the TV seriesTwin Peaks, the 1998 PlayStation adventureMizzurna Fallshas been a bit of a white whale. Several translation efforts have been released over the years, but a new patch doesn’t just translate it—it also fits the game back onto a disc. An update on theROMhacking sitedetails the history of the translation, including the most notable effort involving translator Resident Evie and PlayStation hacker Gemini....
