It’s looking like a December release If you’re up for another round ofSuper Meat Boy, you’ll have your chance soon enough. Team Meat’s Tommy Refenes says the Switch port of the famed platformer should make it out in December. “The game itself has been done for quite some time, but we’re making something pretty special for the Switch version! We’ll have more details on that later…but I think it’ll be a pretty enticing reason for Switch owners to get the game again if they already own it on other systems....

And I looked like an idiot playing it in public I’ve never been a huge sports gamer. I was in real-life Little League and played high school football, but I just couldn’t get into digital sports. That changed when I went to my friend Travis’s house when I was 14, and he showed meMLB Slugfest. It was a more arcadey take on sports, where you could throw fireballs instead of fastballs and play asMortal Kombat‘s Scorpion....

Hooray for local multiplayer, even when I won’t use it! Some screenshots showing off multiplayer in the upcoming console version ofTerrariahave been released. They look like four littleTerrariascreens arranged in a box-like shape similar to what your television might enjoy. I honestly didn’t think I was going to likeTerrariawhen I first installed it. Then I think I blacked out for two days and, when I awoke, I’d built a house, populated it with strangers and was exploring lava-filled caves with a pickax and a grappling hook....

Dota 2’s International tournament enters day 3 Note: there will be no spoilers in this post for day one or two, but expect them in the comments! Yesterday was as exciting as it was heartbreaking for some, but that’s just the way things go when over $10 million is on the line. This tournament has already provided a lot of surprises, whether they be Hero picks or team victories, and I can’t wait to see what today brings!...

One of the biggest draws ofThe Last of Us Part 2 Remasteredis theinclusion of No Returnwhich is a roguelike mode. As a fan ofTLOU 2‘s gameplay, this is a mode I’ve spent some time in and I’m surprised at how fleshed-out it is, and how much content is available. It’s a high-stakes gaming experience that has you taking on randomized encounters that test your skills and endurance. If you’re curious aboutThe Last of Us Part 2 Remastered‘s No Return mode and whether it’s worth getting the game for it, this guide will give you the information you need to make the right choice for your gaming library and wallet....

It’s like The Sims Medieval, but not The Sims 3: Dragon Valleyis a new medieval-themed world available from The Sims 3 Store. A family has moved into town and they brought some baby dragons with them. There is a story between two quarreling families trying to control the town, and it comes off as some cheapGame of Thronesclone. Does anyone honestly play theSimsfor the narrative that is built into the game?...

All three trilogies are incorporated So once the news came out that there was going to beaLEGO Star Warsgame encompassing all nine “Skywalker Saga”(can we call it something else?) feature films, it seemed ambitious out of the gate. But thisLEGO Skywalker Sagaoverview video reallyshows off the scope of that ambition, right as we’re on the cusp of the April 5 launch on…basically every major platform. Raw numbers are probably the easiest way to communicate what the entry entails, so here goes: 23 planets, 100 vehicles, and 300 playable characters....

Just what I was looking for TheKilling FloorTwisted Christmas events(in which the enemies wear costumes, Christmas music jubilantly plays in the background, and maps like Santa’s lair become available) hold a special place in myheart. Tripwire Interactive isn’t going to be doing one this year, sinceKilling Floor 2is in Early Access and it’s abstaining from holiday events until the full launch. That ruins my holiday plans a ‘lil bit, but it’s also understandable....

Holiday 2017 Sega plans to put out twoSonicgames this year — one retro, one modern. We know all about the former,Sonic Mania. The latter? It’s less of aknown quantity, but the details are coming into frame. The game has shed its “Project Sonic 2017” working title in favor of a new name:Sonic Forces. Along with the artwork above, Sega says it will upload “the first gameplay footage” tomorrow. For an off-screen glimpse atSonic Forcesbecauseoff coursethere’s an off-screen capture,look no further....

Intense RPG slips from August launch It looks like Nintendo Switch fans have a little longer to put together their bean-can grenades and cardboard body-armour, as post-apocalyptic RPGWasteland 2: Director’s Cuthas been put back a couple of weeks. Previously announced by inXile Entertainment, the heavy-duty adventure was supposed to launch this month, but will now appear on the Nintendo eShop on September 13.

Waiting for Kafka Honkai: Star Railstarts with you controlling not the protagonist, but two travelers on a heist: Silver Wolf and Kafka. And now that players are getting into the story content and saving up passes, some might wonder when they can roll for their own Kafka. So the question is, when will Kafka be available for players to put onto theirHonkai: Star Railteam? When will Kafka get a banner inHonkai Star Rail?...

Data East’s classic gets slammin’ sequel Strap on your wraparound shades and get out the baby oil, revealed in today’s Nintendo “Nindies” Direct and confirmed by dotemu,Windjammers 2is heading your way in 2019. The sequel to the ultimate flying disc game,Windjammers, released by Data East in 1994 and enjoying a renaissance in recent years,Windjammers 2will bring back the fast-paced, sun-stroked, competitive frisbee gameplay that players have been rockin’ for over two decades (save for that fifteen-year plus period where everyone forgot about it)....

The game that brings us together Wordlewas one of those things that kind of snuck up on me. I heard whispers of it on social media, but didn’t actually give it a try until a few days after we actually covered iton the site. I love word games though, so once I finally decided to jump in, I was hooked. It’s such a fun concept to me, having the puzzle reset with everyone doing the same word....
