The Weekend Hotness: Ninja Turtles, how I’ve missed you

Check out everything Destructoid did today The newTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtlesseries is five episodes in, which is enough time for me to finally say… welcome back, guys! This new iteration truly brings the comedy element that the 2003 series — which was awesome, don’t get me wrong — was lacking. Also, I’ve never seen the Turtles soanimated. You have to watch the show to see what I’m talking about. Of course, there are things I don’t particularly like....

What do you want to see revealed at E3 2019?

The staff sounds off on the games we want to see The annual Electronic Entertainment Expo is once again upon us and this year is shaping up to be a strange one. First and foremost, Sony isn’t showing up. Even though it has what is arguably the biggest game of the year set for release this fall, it’s sitting this one out. That’s a huge void to fill, but with a new console generation on the horizon and Nintendo Switch in full swing, I imagine there won’t be a shortage of excellent reveals and news coming out of this year’s show....

Yep, Zelda and Pokemon go together better than I thought

The Sheikah Pokeball Nintendo is no stranger to crossovers (I mean just look atSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate, which hasFinal FantasyandPokemonin the same arena), but you can always leave it to fans to comb everything that the company has missed over the years. This “Sheikah Pokeball” render from redbloodpivot’s Instagram is a winner, mostly because I’d never think to combine the two. The creator says they’ve “been playing a lot ofBreath of the Wild,” and was thinking about how the Sheikah technology would fit with other franchises....

‘Fans’ of Bayonetta to kill themselves over Wii U sequel

Arguably the biggest surprise at yesterday’s Wii U press event was the announcement ofBayonetta 2, and that the game will be a Wii U exclusive published by Nintendo. My first thought was “This will get people who think that Nintendo ‘only cares about the casuals’ to see that the publisher is making a real effort to broaden their appeal.” Turns out I was right. I just didn’t expect that some people would be soangryabout it....

BioWare issues statement in support of Jennifer Hepler

Yesterday, I was given the sadly-not-rare opportunity to call out a bunch of assholes on the Internet, chiefly the stoogeswho organized a hate campaignagainst BioWare writer Jennifer Hepler.

Today, BioWare hasmade an official statement. “Jennifer is a valued, talented employee who has been with BioWare for many years and we hope will be with us for many more,” reads the statement....
