[Update: Good news, everyone! It turns out that Arc System Works is indeed bringing the collection to North America under the nameSuper Technos World: River City & Arcade Classics(I’ve updated the headline, in case you were wondering).

TGS: JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure is wacky in a new way

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventurewas an odd fighting game for Capcom that was loved by many despite its flaws, in the West. In the East, however, it was one of the first videogames based off a very popular manga series. It’s a series with a lot of character, interesting personalities, and a unique style. The Capcom game captured the world ofJoJowell, but now it’s CyberConnect2’s turn to take a stab at it and bring it to life in a 3D fighting game withJoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle...

The concept art for Square Enix’s next JRPG is wild

Oninaki is set to debut this month Oninakiis kind of flying under the radar. To an extent, all of Tokyo RPG Factory’s work has (I Am Setsuna,Lost Sphear), at least in comparison to a very similar JRPG project from the very same publisher:Octopath Traveler. That’s fine though, as the developer is still around putting out beautiful work, which includes the concept art forOninaki, shared by way of the PlayStation Blog. If you have no idea what this spiritual action RPG is all about you can take a look at some of the art pieces, which showcase some of the game’s locales (Great Plain, Szaka, Ehir Palace), as well as individual objects, characters, and enemies....

What games do you want to see announced at E3 2021 and the summer of streams?

Destructoid names its most anticipated games of E3 2021 If there is one thing the summer of 2020 taught me, it’s that I actually really liked going to E3. It’s not a popular opinion to have in the game writer community, and I won’t argue I wasn’t ecstatic to leave every time it ended, but where else could I go to be amongst my peers, shake hands with the developers I admire, and gawk at the ridiculously hot Australian games journalists?...

You should play Crytek’s monster-slaying shooter Hunt: Showdown during its free weekend

If your nerves can handle it While I wouldn’t necessarily recommend buying the PvPvE shooterHunt: Showdownwhile it’s still in Steam Early Access, I would absolutelyencourageyou to try it out during Crytek’s free weekend. It’s a tense, horror-tinged game about tracking and fighting monsters before competing players can do the same. Even if you do manage to slay your mark, you still have to get off the map in one piece. I’m not in love with the “Bloodline” progression system, butHunt: Showdownhas lots of promise....
