That new Power Rangers movie is getting a mobile game

Looks way better than the console version The Power Rangers had a couple of good games back in the 16 bit era. The SNES beat-em-up and Genesis fighting game are still held in high regard, but you’d be hard pressed to find another game from the series that even comes close to the quality of those titles. Heck, thePower Rangers: The Moviegame on SNES wasn’t even as good, despite introducing co-op play....

The best stuff on Destructoid this week [6/21]

What did Tarzan say to the Jamaican? You Jamaican, me Tarzan No longer tormented by the ants, I’m again able to stock Kahlua, which means my first white Russian in ages. With cream instead of milk, too. Now I’m going to go get tikka masala. Not bad. I walked in on my friend playingGrand Theft Auto Vlast night. It was dark and he was wearing sunglasses. He’s been playing for eight straight hours today (mostly without sunglasses)....

The D-Team went on a wild ride in PUBG and I have no clue how we survived

Stupid strats aren’t stupid if they work! What happens whenthe D-Teamis down one Steven and decides to play morePUBGanyway? Good things, it turns out. Very good things. It’s just like they always say: the journey is more important than the chicken dinner, and if you see someone that appears to be AFK, take the dang shot. This particularBattlegroundsjourney begins my preferred way (with a whole lotta reckless early-game punch-outs) and ends with what I can only describe as a fateful motorbike ride....

The five manliest videogame consoles of all time

It has been a long time since I’ve visited Arthur’s Hall of Viking Manliness. Last time Destructoid was there, The Vikings had a article called the10 Manliest Videogame Characters of All Time. That article, by the way, made our buddies atAeroPausecome up with a counter list called theTop 10 Girliest Videogames of All Time, which also gave me an excuse to use the picture ofNerdcoremodel simply known asSuper Nintendo Girl....

Upcoming Dragon’s Dogma port allegedly won’t require Switch Online

For the Pawn system AlthoughDragon’s Dogmadoesn’t have traditional multiplayer, it does have asynchronous elements like party sharing/trading: and according to an Amazon listing, you won’t need a Nintendo Switch Online subscription to take advantage of it. In this episode of “publishers can just pick whatever stipulations they feel like,” it seems as if Capcom has decided to not require an online subscription to access these facets of the game. This falls inline with the other versions of the game, which did not require Xbox Live Gold or PS Plus, but it always helps to have things clarified before you buy the game, boot it up and go “oh....

10 Best classic horror books that still hold up

We all know of horror works that will hit you hard upon first contact — perhaps because you’re a kid lacking in training against the dark arts — but that lose all their magic as you grow older and more powerful. Great horror novels, however, will somehow never lose their magic, possibly because they’re cursed, cursed and doomed to never stop giving spooky thrills to whomever comes in contact with them....

10 strongest fantasy villains, ranked

Can a hero even be called cool if they never face opponents who test their limits? We want to see odds that look insurmountable, even for supermen who shoot lasers from their eyes and manage to hide their identity only by wearing a pair of glasses.

A cute strategy game is coming to Switch, but it’s not Advance Wars

Intelligent Systems is too busy with Fire Emblem I mean, you knowAdvance Warsis coming at some point on the Switch. My guess is Intelligent Systems is going to wrap on the new SwitchFire Emblem(no, not theWarriorsgame) then at least send a side squad to investigate it, if they aren’t already. The pass and go or local play possibilities are too great not to have it happen at some point. In the meantimeTiny Metalfrom developer Area 35 will fill that slot nicely....
