The video begins with a brief overview of the series’ storied history, before diving right into the pint-sized action.

Dude, seriously, this is adorable Hug yourself with this contest for a Switch copy ofiHUGU. Who doesn’t like hugs? I mean, some people personal space preferences that prevent them from doing a lot of hugs, that’s cool. But for me, hugs are great. I hug everyone: My friends, my family, people I just met, people I haven’t met, people on the elevator, people going to the bathroom — I just like hugs....

I fingered this game long ago in my now-dormant (but possibly ready to blow) weird games showcase,Getting Weird with Wes. And guess what, snitches?! It’s back! Super Rare Games did what no other company had theballsfingers to do and putFreedom Fingeron a physical Switch cartridge....

Still waiting on hats and microtransactions, Valve Valve, apparently too busy at DICE to release a press release, put out some new images and info on some very welcomeCounter-Strike: GOupdates. The most significant addition isMap Workshop, a new extension of Steam that letsCSplayers view, download and rate maps created by the community. Players can also follow their favorite mappers — something that appeals to me, as I often followed mappers’ — shout outs toNipper— busted GeoCities pages, back in the day....

If you’re grabbing the monitor and screaming right now, you are no doubt just as big of a Day of the Tentacle fan as I am. Can’t say I blame you, either — these handpainted chucks might be the coolest gaming shoes I’ve ever seen. Created by Madrid-based artistMaya Plisetskaya, they are currently on eBay for 250,00 Euro (about $329 US). Mighty pricey, yes, but for God’s sakes, LOOK AT THEM....

‘We can rebuild him…’ One of the fighting genre’s more forgettable boss characters, Raidou, will be stepping back into the ring inDead or Alive 6as a playable character. Long thought dead, Raidou is in fact ready to bust heads once again, having gone through some sort of bizarre, well, “upgrade.” As you may see in the gallery below, Raidou’s body was recovered and put through some sort of cybernetic process, leaving him with Terminator eyes and strange metallic skin....

Hindrance to game production, claim devs A game developer has expressed their frustration with Xbox’s mandatory declaration that all Xbox Series X games must also run on its lesser-powered pal,Xbox Series S— Noting that the requirement can be, and frequently is, a hindrance to the forward progression of next-gen gaming.

Seth Rogen is our new Donkey Kong, which means King K. Rool has to be… Are we ready for a Nintendo cinematic universe? Illumination and Nintendo’s animatedMariomovie for December 2022 might be the start of something grander. According to sources at entertainment siteGiant Freakin Robot, there’s also going to be aDonkey Kongmovie — and yes, Seth Rogen will reprise his role. (We live in quite the timeline.) Considering that Rogen was already confirmed for theMariomovie (alongside Fred Armisen as Cranky Kong), and Universal Studios Japan’s Super Nintendo World park will beopening a new areathemed after Donkey Kong in 2024, it seems so painfully plausible....

You’re all going to try VR tonight Evil Dead(2013) is one of my favorite movies. Like, seriously, top-three material. The visuals are gruesome and stunning, the performances are strong and unhinged, and it does exactly what a remake should do by honoring the original while still doing its own thing. In short, Fede Alvarez’s unlikely remake is absolutely perfect in almost every single way, and if you disagree with me you’re wrong and should feel very bad about your own opinions, indeed....

Beware the groove If you’re like me, you’ve been keeping tabs ofDissidia Final Fantasyarcade in the hopes that’ll it’ll come to the PlayStation 4 soon. The two PSP titles were some of my favorite games on that system, so I really want to play this soon. What makes it sting even more is when new characters are added and they look pretty cool.Final Fantasy II‘s Emperor Mateus definitely looks good in the new engine even if his move set is the same as before....
