The mobile game market is a treasure trove of interesting little bits of software, but such treasure is to be approached with all the care of a whip-wielding adventurer. Sometimes the best prizes aren’t all they’re cracked up to be — as anybody downloading the “Android version” ofInfinity Blade IIwill find out. The game listed on Google Play is, unsurprisingly, a dirty fake. You’ll spend time downloading a gig of basically nothing after being made to earn fiftyTapjoy Points....

Why yes, this IS the time of year where parody articles show up everywhere, why do you ask? Today, we have a very special interview for our loyal Destructoid readers.

The MOGA system for Androidis one of the more interesting products of its kind to come forward, and although the price ($49.99) isn’t too unreasonable and it will serve a valuable purpose for certain users, it’s hard to know how the device will perform until it is out in the wild. These things tend to live or die based on the software they’re compatible with, so only time will tell. With support from companies like Sega, Gameloft, and Namco Bandai, PowerA is on the right track....

800 Platinum for the keychain Surprise! Nintendo just randomly made some huge alterations to the My Nintendo physical reward store on a random US evening: go figure. The biggest change is the addition of a brand new item: the Cat Mario keychain, fromSuper Mario 3D World. It’s 800 Platinum Points, and if it’s anything like the other keychains, it’ll go semi-fast. Note that the Tom Nook keychain sold out very quickly and was never restocked, and theSplatoon/Mariokeychain was nuked from the store in under a day....
