That in mind, it’s unsurprising that Square Enix would try a different angle from which to hopefully drive a pile into the overseas gamer’s consciousness....

3DS partially to blame I’m satisfied with theSuper Smash Bros.roster overall but sympathize with people whose favorite characters aren’t returning. For instance, the Ice Climbers — they’re so precious! Writing inFamitsu, game director Masahiro Sakuraiexplainedthat although the team was able to get the adorable duo up and running in the Wii U version, the same couldn’t be said for the title on 3DS. It also didn’t help that the Ice Climbers are considered lower priority forSmash Bros....

Sharpen your blade… Yesterday, in what was genuinely considered a surprise to the fighting game community, it was announced that SNK’s upcoming releaseSamurai Shodownwill see the main stage at the king of fighting game tournaments, EVO 2019.

TheGoldenDonut let us know that ScrewAttack posted its top ten worst Mario games of all time. I have no life, so I’m making shrewd use of Gametrailers’ embed codes to bring it to the Destructoid collective. There are some obscure gems in this countdown, such asMario Teaches Typing, in which the titular plumber harnesses the power of the keyboard to numb brains the world over orMario’s Fundamentals, which are both fun AND mental....

Finally my Adam Jensen X Ariana Grande fanfic can come true It’s been almost a year since Square Enix CEO Yosuke Matsuda said that while they were putting theDeus Exseries on the back-burner for a while, the series wasn’t dead and simply had to“wait its turn.”Well, wait we have and now our patience has been rewarded with a crossover event betweenDeus Ex: Mankind DividedandFinal Fantasy Brave Exvius! I’m not going to say it, I refuse....

Let’s look at the best accessories you’re able to get to buff your Steam Deck, shall we?

A good scissoring (demon) Solo-developer Wegenbartho-Games haslaunched a Kickstarterfor their murder mystery adventure,The Murder Hotel. The campaign runs until June 25, 2025 and is seeking €8,500. This is kind of hilarious.The Murder Hotelis a murder mystery, but rather than figure out the murderer, I guess you already know: It’s some scissor-wielding demon. The demon won’t let you leave unless you pin their murders on the various guests. Like, they didn’t actually do it, but you have to come up with a super-plausible theory that “proves” that they did....

Impressions, ho I’m not the kind of person to besmirch something because it looks “cartoony” or is geared for a certain age group. Often times kid programs transcend those boundaries with the right people behind them, and that might be the case forMega Man: Fully Charged. Capcom seems content with bringing back the Blue Bomber in a huge way this year — but instead ofjustgetting compilations we’re witnessing the release of a brand new game on top of a new cartoon, which hasn’t been attempted in some time....
