Wruh Wruh Wruh An image has begun circulating the interwebs regarding the fate of one King Bob-omb, the first boss and first star on the very first level ofSuper Mario 64. King Bob-omb resides on the top of the mountain in Bob-omb Battlefield, requiring the player to mount several obstacles to get to the top and defeat him. One such obstacle is a pit of two rolling balls which, if given facial features, would resemble the King himself....

Mew-Genicswas conceived during a game jam session, but the duo felt it had potential as a full-blown project.

U Can’t Touch This Capcom is keeping the beat(down) rolling with two more weapon trailers for its upcoming Nintendo Switch releaseMonster Hunter Rise. Having given us a look at the finesse of theDual Blades, the poking power of theLance,and the long-range firepower of theBowgun, it’s time to get down and dirty with the head-pounding Hammer, and the battle-tested Sword and Shield. More so than any other weapon inMonster Hunter Rise, Hammer-wielders are all about blunt force power, dropping devastating and highly damaging blows on their prey’s bonces with reckless abandon....

Dev kit 2.0 at about 25,000 Want to know how Oculus Rift is doing? Well, dev kits aren’t a great indicator, but at least we know about how many of those have been shipped. Oculus Rift toldTechCrunchthat they’ve sold about 25,000dev kit 2.0 unitsso far, taking their total number up to about 85,000 units. That’s pretty good, right? The pre-orders are still ongoing, with shipments expected in July. Oh,Oculus-chan! Again, this is not even close to a consumer product, so it’s not really a solid indication of how they’re doing....
[Offbeat Hall of Fameis a showcase of the cool, often bizarre products and media from years past that celebrate videogames and gamer culture.] I love videogame soundtracks. Audio is such an integral part of the gameplay experience for me that I’ve been known to purchase games based solely ontheir music. I also love television shows based on videogames — well, in theory if not alwaysin practice. However, when you start talking about soundtracks of videogame-based TV shows, you reach a critical juncture whereterrible thingscan happen....
If you weren’t paying attention, Nintendoshut down the online servicesfor 3DS and Wii U, because the future is forward, baby. Unfortunately, this means that gamers with principles had to step in to preserve what Nintendo was burying with its digital store closures, and one of those things was theDragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten PastDLC maps. Twitter user Sackchiefhad a planto preserve those 56 DLC maps for anyone who wants to experience them after the shutdown in the best way possible, too....
As is usual with every newPath of Exileleague, Grinding Gear Games has released the full patch notes for the new season, Trial of the Ancestors. The patch notes are full of new content and features that are coming with the new league, as well as information on the new skills. Overall it looks like a very big update. Even though this is a hefty chunk of patch notes—over 10,000 words—it feels like there’s a lot missing....
I want to see how this pans out We knew thatPhantasy Star Online 2 Cloud, the special version exclusively for the Switch, would be literally running off the cloud — but thanks to some new info from Perfectly Nintendo, we have more of an idea what that entails. When you download the game from the eShop, all you’ll need is a file that’s as scant as “dozens of MB,” and you’re good to go....
This week, Podtoid was initially supposed to talk about stuff likeMirror’s Edge 2and random news stories, but we got sidetracked discussingPsychonautsand the originalHalf-Life. Whether this makes the show better or worse is up to you. – Even when Samit says nothing of sports, he is crucified – Evidently,Prototypeis way better thaninFAMOUS –Why didn’t you save us, Milla – The cast discussesHalf-Lifefor a while — if you’re still playing the Podtoid drinking game, you’ll be dead before we reach the mid-show break...
Coming in February Project Aetherwas sort of low key revealed late last year, but the project is really starting to take shape and will be out relatively soon. Billed as a shoot ’em up inspired byZone of the EndersandNeon Genesis Evangelion,Project Aetherjust dropped a new gameplay trailer as well as a release date announcement: February 24. It boasts a “synthwave soundtrack” (I love that this is coming back, not just in games but in other forms of media) on top of the shmup action you see below, which will take place across nine levels on PC....
Despite being at the proper age for it, I never caught on withRugrats. I don’t think it really aired much with my cable provider. I do, however, know the NES quite well, and I can confirmRugrats: Adventures in Gamelandis an NES game. This is despite the fact that the game will also have an HD art style over top of the 8-Bit backbone (not available on NES) that you can toggle on or off....
