So I finally got some time in withMega Man Universe, and so far, my feelings are mixed. I was initially put of by the game’s visuals, but seeing them up close changed that. Other than a few unispired animations, the game is more or less on par the PSP titleMega Man Powered Up, except in HD, and without the super-chibi art direction. New characters like Bad Box Art Mega Man and Metto Man (both seen in this12 minutes of footage) are surprisingly charming when seen up close....

And the patch notes The time has finally come: all of the (currently announced)Cadence of Hyrulelaunches are fully complete! As of today,Cadencehas three DLCs on offer: a character pack (Impa, Aria, Shadow Link, Shadow Zelda, Frederick), a 39-song melody pack and today’s “Symphony of the Mask” DLC with Skull Kid. The latter one is really the main attraction as the “story DLC” of the pack, which ushers in three brand new modes (Skull Kid, puzzle, arena)....

Good combo The Elder Scrolls Onlinehas come a long way from its scrappy beginnings. It made the free-to-play move rather quickly in the grand scheme of things, but hasn’t looked back and gained a large enough following to keep it going with a regular content cadence. So far we’ve been whisked away to Tamriel, Morrowind, Summerset and Elsweyr: now we’re venturing out into western Skyrim with theGreymoorexpansion. Revealed last night duringan opulent event at the HyperX Esports Arena in Las Vegas,Greymooris decidedly vampire-centric, and will launch on PC on May 18 and consoles on June 2....

Dude do you remember the original one It’s finally October, which means a new season of AMC’sThe Walking Deadis right around the corner. But what’s this? There’s a new, animated title sequence? The Walking Deadhas retained the same title sequence (more or less) for it’s entire television run. With spooky footage of abandoned cars and twisting doorknobs, the old title sequence was serviceable, but jesus was it campy as hell. However, the new sequence lends a distinct feeling to the opening credits....

Check out everything Destructoid did today Dtoid contributor Ian Bonds released a sweetDig Dugmusic video, but while I was watching, my mind wandered back to thatDig Dugcomicdone in the style of Chick tracts. From pop music parodies to Mormon propaganda, this modest 80s arcade game has certainly made the rounds! This weekend,Sup, Holmes?welcomes back former Dtoider Matthew “Tristero” Walden, ’tis a sad time for bronies, games are apparently more dangerous than guns,Nintendo Forcemagazine subscriptions are live, and the Tamagotchis have returned....

Cupheadhas become a phenomenon. Not only is it a fully-fledged world in its own right, but it also spurred a new generation of people to discoverFleischer Studios cartoonsfor the first time. While it has become colloquially known as the “Cuphead” style in many circles (which is fair), it also began life with the moniker “rubber hose.” Artist Daniel Cortes took that principle and ran with it. Over the course of several weeks, Cortes has been providing “Cuphead/Rubberhose/1930s cartoon” inspired drawings of variousSuper Smash Bros....

The most successful Total War game to date When aThree Kingdomsgame comes out I kind of look at it like EA and football projects: I just assume that Koei Tecmo did it. But naturally that’s not always the case, and Sega/Creative Assembly really cleaned up withTotal War: Three Kingdoms. The long and storied series started all the way back in the year 2000, but Three Kingdoms is absolutely smashing sales records....

Launching is a win condition In August of last year,Jordan wrote“I’m going to lose so much time toThe Settlers.” Not anytime soon, he won’t! The newest game in the long-running strategy civilization-building series has been hit with an indefinite delay. Maybe developer Blue Byte couldn’t get the right zoning permits, maybe conquering new lands is no easy feat. Regardless,The Settlersisn’t settling anytime soon. The reason for the delay is vague....

Lightning Returns to Steam? In case you haven’t noticed, not a whole lot ofFinal Fantasygames are on the PC at the moment, even in port form years later. But it seems as if Square Enixis coming around to the idea, and we may even see futureFinal Fantasytitles launch on PC alongside of consoles. In regards to bringing theXIIItrilogy to the PC years back,Final FantasyproducerYoshinori Kitasehad this to say, “As far as the technology is concerned, it would have been possible for us to make a PC version, but we decided against it for two reasons: we looked at the market situation and we didn’t think it would be a good idea, and also it would have involved lots of complex issues like security....
