Stand and Fight Submitted more for your curiosity than anything else, Bandai Namco has released a new trailer fortheir upcoming battle royale arcadebased on the legendary anime and manga seriesJoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. It’s looking suitably odd. JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Last Survivortakes the “Last Man Standing” genre popularised by titles such asPUBGandFortnite, and supplements it with very angry-looking characters from the belovedJoJoseries. As you can see in the clip below, players will fight it out across a small town, using their “Stands”, (or super-powers to generalise the term), to get the drop on one another, eradicating the opposition to lay claim as the champion....

Anything would be an upgrade As a general rule, I prefer my Amazon Fire TV above every other device, but the Roku has a large lead when it comes to support for pure media channels. As a result, I sort of use them in tandem, gaming on my Fire TV and watching a larger array of shows on the Roku. It’s not ideal and goes against the “one device” era we live in, but it works....

From my private reserve 2014 was such a weird year in games for me. If you had asked me last January how I thought this list would have shook out, I’d have been far off the mark. For one thing, I would have expected a slew of amazing new Xbox One and PS4 games taking up the top slots, but we all know that didn’t happen for various reasons (maybe next year!...

This shiny 3DS that I showed off a few weeks ago in Japan? It seems so lonely and lifeless now that I’m in America. No Miis to trade with, no online action — Nothing. Just some AR cards that I still toy with, and my silly Nintendog corgi that keeps getting dirty. He’s pissing me off. What I really need is some fun downloadable games. It’s too bad that fancy pants eShop isn’t open yet....

Also, Neo Geo Blazing Star On May 9 you’ll be able to pick upNBA Playgroundson Switch, which hopes to be the next generation ofNBA Jamafter the semi-recentOn Fire Edition. Also on Switch is aBlaster Master Zerodemo version today, and be sure to grab some free character DLC before it goes premium in a few weeks. Wii U is still trucking somehow with aBonk’s RevengeVirtual Console release on top ofWinKings,Fifteen, andCitadale – The Legends Trilogy....

Also, lots of Street Fighter It’s old school week on the eShop, fellas! First up on Wii U we haveSuper Mario 64 DS, followed byShadow Archer. It’s underwhelming to say the least, but the fairly unknown DS port of the 64 classic isn’t talked about very often, and I’m glad to see it in the conversation again. 3DS is having a Capcom-heavy celebration withStreet Fighter Alpha 2, Super Street Fighter II Turbo: Hyper Fighting,andSuper Street Fighter II: The New Challengers....

Shigeru Miyamoto explains the future of Nintendo’s game development Would you like to see a newMetroid,Wave Race, orStar Foxgame? Perhaps someChibi-Robolove? Hell, maybe even a new IP? Well, apparently nothing is out of the question with Nintendo as they look to build and strengthen their internal development studios. In an interview withIGN, Shigeru Miyamoto commented on how increasing the size of their development teams would allow for not only the creation of new intellectual properties, but also for Nintendo to watch over franchises that fans clearly want....

Nintendohas confessedthat it’s purposely holding back some of its upcoming 3DS games, planning to release them next year in a bid to maximize sales. “For us to provide software titles one after another, one idea is, ‘Isn’t it possible for Nintendo to stock some of its software titles instead of launching them as soon as the development is completed?'” he said. “Video games need to stay fresh, so it is not practical for us to put them on hold for too long, but we think that some of them may be held for a certain amount of time so that there will be a short interval between when they are completed and when they are launched....

Season Pass is $50 So uh,Fallout 4‘s Season pass is a dud for me so far. I’m all caught up now having playedFar Harborrecently, and I found it lacking. Especially so, knowing thatthe new add-on, “Contraptions,”will be more workshop mods that other players have basically made for free already. The fifth DLC, “Vault-Tec” looks a little more interesting in that it’s basically a 3DFallout Shelter, but I’m dubious of its longevity....

ThePalworldGrizzbolt boss fight is certainly tough and will need plenty of preparation. Here’s how to beat it with the correct type of Pals. How to prepare for thePalworldGrizzbolt boss InPalworld,the Zoe & Grizzbolt boss fight is located in theRayne Syndicate Tower. Before you enter inside, however, you should have the following: The ground-type Pals I chose for this battle include a fewGumoss, which roam near the first tower you come across and close to your initial camp....

‘In the spring’ I had to check my calendar this morning. Is it June already?! Sony is dropping news-bombs on us today, withthe confirmation of a new PSVR devicespecifically for PS5 (and a new VR controller), and now, confirmation of a bunch of PlayStation games coming to PC.Speaking to GQ, PlayStation boss Jim Ryan states that“a whole slate” of PlayStation games is coming to PC. They’re not wasting any time either, asDays Goneis coming this spring....

We weren’t around last week. This week, we make up for it by spending the majority of the time talking about sex. On Podtoid 78, Topher Cantler, Aaron Linde, Jim Sterling and myself discuss the present and future of porn games. Can they be made well? Do wewantthem to be made well? Is there a market for them? For how long will we pretend that we wouldn’t play one? –Prince of Persia: great game, orgreatestgame?...

Donkey Kong Bananza’sNintendo Direct is over, and with a slew of new information ahead of the game’s launch on July 17, I’m curious if anyone here has changed their mind on the game, and if they will be picking it up either on launch or later on. It’s been over 20 years since the last fully 3D Donkey Kong adventure, and it’s definitely been a long time coming for any DK64 fans....
