No More Heroes 1 and 2 Coming to PC Tomorrow June 8, 2021

Grasshopper Manufacture has made the epic announcement that I would not have believed I would ever post on this website. No More Heroes and No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle will be coming to the PC…TOMORROW!

The version getting released on PC seems to be based on the Nintendo Switch version, which was an updated version of the original Wii version. If you ask me, this was a smart move, but I will miss the extra features the PS3 version had. The Steam game pages are already up and the game should launch on Steam and Windows Store tomorrow, June 9th.

No More Heroes and No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle are out now for Nintendo Switch and Amazon Luna. They’ll be out tomorrow for the PC through STEAM.

If you missed the stream, you can watch it below in its entirety. Most of this likely won’t get released until the Fall.

Wing Commander Movie Free on YouTube June 3, 2021

I have to admit, despite my ramblings about it in the past, I have a bit of a soft spot for 1999’s Wing Commander. It was the first game-based feature film that was actually directed by the game’s creator with special effects done by the game studio founded by the same creator. Most critics argued its leads were miscast, but I was willing to give the film the benefit of the doubt.

Now, it looks like YouTube has gotten the rights to show the film with advertisements. Given this film never had a decent DVD release, I never picked it up on the format back on the day. Now, we all have a great way to rewatch it.

Nintendo Announces Treehouse June 2021 Stream June 3, 2021

E3 2021 is all digital this year and Nintendo has announced they will be doing a major broadcast to celebrate. The Nintendo Direct event will begin June 15th, 2021 at 12PM Eastern (9AM Pacific). It is expected to be followed by a Treehouse Live preview, where live gameplay from the upcoming games will be presented.

Ive heard musings a Pokémon Presents broadcast will also be made to complement the Treehouse event but I haven’t seen official confirmation of that. If it happens we will make a separate announcement about it.

I’m going to need to start creating a list of all the E3 events that come up. In fact I think I will once I have Sony’s announcement times confirmed.

June 2021 Square Enix Presents Announced June 3, 2021

The event will begin June 13th, 2021 at 3:15PM Eastern Time (12:15PM Pacific).

Tell Me Why Free this Month On PC and Xbox Live June 1, 2021

One of the games that really grabbed me when it was last previewed was Tell Me Why by DONTNOD. This game may seem familiar to fans of Life is Strange, but it focuses on new characters with their own supernatural problems.

Earlier today, Microsoft announced they’ll be offering all chapters of the game for free right now on PC and Xbox Live Marketplace. I have NO idea how long this game will be offered free so you may want to try to download it right now. If the reports online are correct, some regions are having trouble getting it free on STEAM right now, but that might be a bug. Alternatively, PC users CAN get it free on Windows Store.

Tell Me Why is out now for the PC and Xbox One.
