Players, rejoice: Nintendo Switch 2 restocks are going down at Best Buy on Thursday, July 17. The great Switch 2 restocking is in-store only at your local Best Buy and will coincide with the release of Donkey Kong Bananza. However, the announcement doesn’t reveal whether the store will carry the Mario Kart World bundle, listed at $499.99, or the stand-alone console priced at $449.99 (or both). Regardless of the console...

Bring out the world’s smallest violins, because Fortnite ne’er-do-wells are having a tough time out there. The last couple of years have seen Epic Games ramp up efforts against players who break their rules, often in extremely public ways. This time, both a cheater and a hacker have both issued public statements as a part of their punishment in larger legal proceedings. In a social media post, Epic Games says...

In terms of power, the Switch 2 is a massive, much-needed upgrade over Nintendo’s previous console. But technically, the portable hardware is still less powerful than Xbox Series X or the PS5 — which means that, despite being a much newer piece of tech, the Switch 2 is lagging behind the theoretical competition. Most owners may not care about this; the Switch 2 should be strong enough to run most...

Skybound Games revealed Monday that Rex Splode has joined the roster for the upcoming 2D tag-fighting game Invincible VS. Rex Splode is a superpowered human with a cybernetic and chemically altered physiology that allows him to generate explosions, equipped with a prosthetic hand capable of firing projectiles. Splode makes good use of enhancements in the forthcoming brawler as his play style revolves around his exploding projectiles and mobility. The vigilante’s strong...

Donkey Kong is one of Nintendo’s most famous characters. The smash hit 1981 arcade game that made the company, kicked off Shigeru Miyamoto’s future of innovation, and introduced the world to Mario, bears Donkey Kong’s name. The big ape is as close to Nintendo’s historic creative heart as you can get if you’re not called Mario. But oddly enough, Nintendo very rarely makes Donkey Kong games itself. Donkey Kong Bananza,...

James Gunn’s Superman kicks off a new era of DC movies, under the guardianship of Gunn and DC Studios co-chairman and CEO Peter Safran. It isn’t the first project of Gunn and Safran’s new DC media universe — that honor went to Creature Commandos — but it is a tone-setter and mission statement, with both a lighter overall tone than DC’s Zack Snyderverse, and a lighter hand on the controls. Gunn...

Destiny 2’s newest expansion is on the horizon. Now that the previous Light and Darkness saga has concluded, this latest expansion marks the beginning of a new era in Destiny 2’s narrative. The Edge of Fate will include new navigation menus, new Vanguard and Crucible activities, and an overhaul to the gear system. Below, we list the Destiny 2: The Edge of Fate release time in your time zone with...

When I first heard about Missile Command Delta, turn-based gameplay was not what I expected. Changing the 1980 arcade classic’s concept from a never-ending real-time rocket strike to a more relaxing puzzle experience seemed quite the gamble, but a few minutes in the game’s tutorial room won me over. But as I left that tutorial, I didn’t walk into the virtual arcade parlor I had hoped for. Although Missile Command...

Despite the fact that you don’t see much of your character in Mecha Break, the PvP mech shooter has a god-tier character creator, which allows you to tweak everything from your pilot’s height and hair color to the length of their fingers. This character creator is supplemented by the Matrix Marketplace: an in-game store where players can sell or auction off their painstakingly customized pilot designs in exchange for Corite,...

Phoenix is in Marvel Rivals, which means I might finally put Overwatch 2 on the shelf for a bit and get back into NetEase’s hero shooter game. Not out of some deep admiration for Phoenix, mind you. The only things I know about her are what I gleaned from Wikipedia after NetEase announced her for Marvel Rivals season 3 and one important fact from her character trailer: She actually moves...
