Furi is coming to Xbox One next month

You might already have it on PS+ WhileFuriis a hard sell given it’s “boss fight only” pivot, it’s pretty much made for me, having grown up on experiences likePunch Out!!on the NES. Oh, and the bullet hell angle doesn’t hurt either. If you don’t already own it on PS4 by way of its PlayStation Plus format, or on PC, you have the option to grab it on Xbox One on December 2....

Good on Fortnite for adding split-screen support

11.30 added split-screen on PS4 and Xbox One These days, it’s rare that you’ll ever see me coverFortnite–it’s just not my thing, and that’s okay. But every so often, the game does something notable or cool that gets me talking. Today, with update 11.30, that something is split-screen support. Too few games let you play side by side with a partner. Fortniteplayers can share their screen with a friend in battle royale Duos and Squads on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One....

Grounded’s new update lets you wage war against bees

On a less self-defeating note, inventory management is now a little more forgiving It might not be the meaningful story shakeup that some players are waiting for, but I’m ready to revisitGroundedwithupdate 0.6.0– it adds a few aerial attention-grabbers like bees, mosquitoes, and fireflies, as well as what I’d call an essential quality-of-life change to backpack inventory management. (The way the dead bee’s body rolls away from its head at 2:33 is wonderfully unsettling....

Have a chiptune dance party with this Zelda II album

When I posted thatpost-rockZeldatribute albumlast night, Dtoider Chad Almasy lamented the absence ofZelda IImusic. Where did the love go? Why, it went intoBagu and the Rivermanby Dj CUTMAN and Spamtron! Here is an album entirely dedicated to Akito Nakatsuka’s score from the oft-neglectedThe Adventure of Link. Well, “entirely” save for theZelda 1overworld track, but you can’t have aZeldaalbum without the classic overworld theme, right?

Front Mission 2: Remakescreens have appeared on the official Nintendo Store listing While footage ofthe upcomingFront Missionremakeshas been slim, newFront Mission 2: Remakescreens give us a better look at the project.

I wish this PS Vita user interface concept were real

You listening, Sony? Behance designerRafał Czanieckihas created a beautifuluser interface concept for the PlayStation Vita. It’s so nice that I wish it could be implemented somehow. Sony likes horizontal bars, right? Czaniecki’s design uses one as well, letting users flip through their game collection, social apps, and other menus like you might in any media bar. A pinch/zoom lets you pan back and see more games at once, and then collapse them when you’re done looking....
