The majority of the Destructoid staff has been madly in love withRoogoofor about a year now, and hearing that this cheerful title is coming to both Wii and DS is wonderful news — this a game I would love to play on the go. The version of Roogoo for the Wii is calledTwisted Towers(and the picture above is from that title), while the DS version is calledAttack!Both games share some similar levels, but are not exactly the same game, so you’ll have to get both if you want the full Roogoo experience!...

ICE to meet you, Kolin I’ve been enamored with Kolin, the first of five brand new characters inStreet Fighter V‘s second season of DLC, eversince her reveal trailer.Judging by this new introductory video released by Capcom, the hype may have been warranted. Her V-Skill is essentially a counter, her V-Trigger disables stun recovery if you’re hit by it, and I believe she has six or so target combos, which is huge in a game likeStreet Fightersince it gives her a wider variety of options to deal damage....

With a release of Q2 2016? We still don’t really know anything about Nintendo’s next console, the NX. Itmightbe a handheld/console hybrid, but until Nintendo formally unveils it, it could be anything. However, ifrumours published by DigiTimesare to be believed, we could be getting the NX a hell of a lot sooner than we might’ve thought. DigiTimes claims the controversial company Foxconn has been chosen as the NX’s primary manufacturer, with a whole range of other companies supplying the resources to make it....

A game about unwinding in the wetland Paradise Marshis going to live in my brain as “that chill nature game with the frog,” which is not to be confused with “that meta edutainment game with the frog,” “that silly detective game with the frog,” or any other form of amphibian-based gaming. Coming to us from developer LazyEti, with tunes by Disasterpeace,Paradise Marshis a laid-back adventure game that isn’t any more or less than it needs to be....

It comes with stickers! Game Center CX, also known asRetro Game Challenge, is arguably the world’s first Let’s Play series.

Remember thatPokémon: Battle Royaleart show that I told you about around a month back? It kicked off in Minneapolis on April 20 and is running through May 11. Until the end date, you can order one of the many pieces from theLight Grey Art Lab shop. The art on display ranges from adorable to nightmare fuel. Consider the Ditto piece in the gallery below — holy sh*t, is that freaky. I also really enjoy how the Hitmonlee / Hitmonchan comics tie in to one another....

University gives you a bright future and clouds it with debt For me, one of the most devastating delays this year has beenTwo Point Campus. I know, I know, three months isn’t the end of the world. I just had to start up its predecessor,Two Point Hospital, and cry a lot. Sega and Two Point Studios have my back. They gave Destructoid the opportunity to check out a bit of their upcoming game, which I jumped on....

AnytimeBloodborneis mentioned, an angel flies across the sky at 60 FPS Any day, another ill-advised tweet: though this one is incredibly tame compared to some of the things we’ve seen these past few years.
