Donkey Kong Bananza is a certified Nintendo Switch 2 hit, fully displaying Nintendo’s modern design philosophy and furthering essential discourse around Donkey Kong’s caked-up booty. It’s leapt into the Game of the Year race, something Switch 2 launch title Mario Kart World likely won’t be able to. Simply put: Bananza sounds like a dope platformer, and I wanna play. But I can’t yet. If you were able to successfully fight...
[Ed. note: Major spoilers ahead for chapter 1155 of One Piece.] One Piece chapter 1155, “The Rocks Pirates,” released on Sunday, delves deeper into the life of the lurking legend Rocks D. Xebec and his band of big-name pirates, including how the man was able to amass so many powerhouses and keep them together despite constantly butting heads. Now that it’s been confirmed the Rocks Pirates were formed through various...
There are two things I admire about developer Strange Scaffold. The first is the speed at which it makes games, often putting out multiple titles within a year. The second is its Ronseal approach to names, with nominative highlights including Space Warlord Organ Trading Simulator, and An Airport For Aliens Currently Run By Dogs. My favourite example, though, is the newly announced Co-op Kaiju Horror Cooking, a cooperative horror game...
The big main thing you want to do in Donkey Kong Bananza is smash everything, but even as you shatter various layers of the planet into thousands of tiny voxels, you may realize there’s more to life than smashing. On your quest to reaching the surface (and getting more bananas), you should know there are ways to solve problems other than just running and punching. Below, we’ve listed a bunch...
If you know anything about the process of shooting an effects-heavy, big-budget movie like 2025’s live-action How to Train Your Dragon remake, you’d probably think the hardest part of the job would be the performance: trying to have convincing emotional relationships with characters that’ll be added digitally later. Or maybe it’d be all the stunts, which for HTTYD stars Mason Thames (who plays awkward teen Viking Hiccup) and Nico Parker...
“THAT person?!?!?” It’s natural for fans to have strong reactions to casting news when a beloved franchise scores a big-screen adaptation. People have cheered and booed in equal measure for the casting of Pedro Pascal as Joel in The Last of Us, or Robert Pattinson as Batman. Some performers have won stubborn fans over. When Heath Ledger was cast as The Joker, nobody wanted a “gay cowboy” in the role....
Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot has addressed the Stop Killing Games consumer rights campaign, stating that end-of-life support for old online games 'a far reaching issue' that the publisher is 'working on' but that 'nothing is eternal' when it comes to videogame services.Guillemot was asked about Stop Killing Games—which advocates for increased regulations to prevent game developers and publishers from shutting down games after official support for them ends—at Ubisoft's annual...
Deadline reported this week that Netflix is working on a live-action adaptation of the ’90s animated series Captain Planet and the Planeteers, a project which has been in development hell for nearly a decade. While that’s great news for ’90s animation fans, I’m hoping it paves the way for the revival of a different ’90s cartoon about fighting climate change and the excesses of capitalism. Unfortunately, I seem to be...
Upcoming fantasy action RPG Soulframe was slated to release later this year, but developer Digital Extremes is no longer certain whether Warframe's spell-slinging cousin will launch in 2025. Counterintuitively, though, you can play the game right now, with Digital Extremes opening up access to the pre-alpha (loftily dubbed "Preludes") until the end of this weekend.The situation was explained to Eurogamer by Soulframe's creative director, Geoff Crookes, and community manager Sarah...
After waking up early and standing in line with dozens of people to buy a Switch 2, the first game I downloaded and played wasn’t Mario Kart World. I didn’t bother with any other Nintendo games that got boosted for the new console, either. You see, rumors had been floating around that perhaps we’d finally get a glimpse at Hollow Knight: Silksong, the sequel to the 2017 indie Metroidvania where...
