Development Update on Metroid Prime 4 January 25, 2019

When Metroid Prime 4 was announced just before the start of E3 2017, the entire convention center went crazy. After that announcement we haven’t heard any new information about the game. Nintendo posted this video early this morning to give a progress update on Metroid Prime 4. You might want to sit down before watching it.

Metroid Prime 4 is coming exclusively to the Nintendo Switch.

Kingdom Hearts III – Gameplay Overview Trailer January 24, 2019

We are days away from the highly anticipated release of Kingdom Hearts III. Square Enix has just released this gameplay overview trailer which details everything the player will be able to do in this new game. This is a good video to watch if you’re new to the series or if you’re a long-time fan in need of a refresher.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to brush up on several decades of Disney animated films before the game comes out.

Kingdom Hearts III is coming January 29th, 2019 to Xbox One and PS4.

This is Anthem Part 1 January 18, 2019

The biggest game EA is planning for this season must be Anthem by BioWare. It’s a persistent multiplayer game with a deep single player campaign. To me, this feels a lot like Bungie’s Destiny, but with a lot more gameplay options.

EA posted the first video of their newest series, This Is Anthem. This particular video will focus on the game’s story, progression and customization. If you want to know more about how this game will work, this is a video you need to watch.

Anthem is coming in 2019 to PC, Xbox One and PS4. A demo is coming Feb 1st, 2019.

Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes Launch Trailer January 18, 2019

Travis Strikes Again is the third game in the No More Heroes franchise, and a game I’m so pleased to see developed exclusively for the Nintendo Switch. The game was first announced alongside the Nintendo Switch, but details about it were scarce at that time. Now we know the game will feature series hero Travis and a partner (playable by couch co-op) battle through multiple game challenges inspired by games from the 80s and early 90s.

Take a look at the game’s launch trailer and see for yourself what is in store for us! It isn’t No More Heroes 3 (that may come later), but it sure looks sounds and feels like a No More Heroes game.

Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes is out now exclusively for the Nintendo Switch.

New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe Launch Trailer January 11, 2019

New Super Mario Bros U was the Mario launch title for the Wii U back in 2012. The console didn’t sell well despite some great first party games. It got an expansion pack New Luigi Bros U in 2013 as part of the Year of Luigi. Now both games are on the Nintendo Switch, and here’s the official launch trailer!

New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe is out now exclusively for Nintendo Switch.

Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes – Nintendo Minute January 11, 2019

Catherine Full Body Coming to the US and Europe January 10, 2019

When the 2011 puzzle game Catherine was first released in the US, it not only was loved by many, it fundamentally rewrote the book on what kind of story is possible with a game. Catherine told a mature story about a young man faced with the choice of moving on to the next relationship phase with the woman he was dating steady, or risk his stable relationship by hooking up with a spitfire who didn’t believe in being tied down by marriage.

After completing it, I had been hoping for years that Atlus would make a sequel. Earlier today, Atlus finally released the game on PC in glorious 4K with an unlocked framerate, but that wasn’t the only Catherine related news Atlus had to share with us today. Catherine: Full Body is an upcoming remaster of the original Catherine for the current game consoles with all new story components. Until today, I believed that game would never get a release in the US or Europe. I’m happy to announce that belief was wrong!

Catherine: Full Body is coming in 2019 to PS4 and PlayStation Vita.

Catherine Now On PC January 10, 2019

One of my absolute favorite games from the previous console generations was Catherine. It was unlike any game I had played previously and to this day I feel that it is a staple “must play” game if you have any interest in Japanese culture at all. Today, I’m happy to announce you can buy it right now on PC.

Sega promises that the PC version of the game will offer 4K support, completely unlocked framerate and support for the mouse and keyboard. The Japanese voice over audio is also included if you prefer to play the game with subtitles.

Catherine is out now for PC, Xbox 360 and PS4.
