More farming to go around Xseed Games had a couple of announcements tucked away in Sunday’s Future Games Show. The biggest of which is probably the confirmation that the (as of right now) Switch-exclusiveRune Factory 5will arrive in North America in early 2022. The game launched last month in Japan, and unlike this year’sStory of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town, it doesn’t seem like there is any rush to get this over to our shores....

Key word:starting. A newteaser websitehas surfaced with the first few screenshots and not much else to go off. The first image has two characters sitting beside a campfire under a picturesque star-filled sky.

The Daily Hotness: Organ Mario World

I’m not going to lie to you guys, this video isreallyold, but nothing gets me ready for Halloween like an organ. Even better is my favorite piece of video game music piped through said organ oh-so-masterfully, drawing me back to my days as a wee child leaving Yoshi at the door to take on another castle. Jetpack Joyrideis free if you want, Extra Life (and our marathon) raised atonof money, Nintendo’s wallet has seen better days, Blizzard issues an apology, and more happened on 19-05-2025....

These Switch Joy-Con colors might be going away

Pour one out As Nintendo continues to dealwith supply chain woes, the future of certain pieces of hardware is uncertain. That could include specific Joy-Con colors. Look,there’s atonof Joy-Con colors at the moment. Maybe too many? I’m sure there’s one person on Earth that owns all of them and will probably be on a“Toys that Made Us”type documentary one day for the Switch. So maybe there’s just enough: who am I to judge?...

Titan Wars Tower Defense codes

The endless skirmish between Cameramen and Skibidi Toilets returns to the spotlight in another Roblox strategy experience. As a fan of the genre, particularly the titles with unusual theming, I had to jump intoTitan Wars: Tower Defense. Collecting units and trying different maps is addictively fun! What’s less fun is having to save Gems to expand your army. If you want to have a blast on more challenging levels, such as Galaxy, having a mighty rooster is a must....
