Nintendo’s new console has its guts strewn about Psst! Hey, you. Yeah, I’m talking to you. You wanna see some pictures of the Wii U without, you know, anythingon? Yeeeeah, I know you do I… okay I’m freaking myself out now. In Nintendo’s latest Ask Iwata, the team dive into the Wii U’s insides in an interview spanning 4-pages, complete with comparisons to the Wii.

Poor little guy Dad switched from beer to whiskey immediately after breakfast. Things aren’t going great. It’s never explicitly stated, but there seems to be a dead mother in the mix. Dad’s spirits aren’t high, they’re in the tumbler. Drain and flood, again and again. Captain Spirit (or “Chris” when he’s not donning superhero garb) finds escapism somewhere more appropriate for a nine-year-old. In a fantasy world where a water heater becomes the fearsome monster Water Eater, Captain Spirit controls his own destiny....
Shadow Complex has been patched Officiallytherewere10 PS4 gamesthat wouldn’t be able to make the transition to PS5 via the magic of backward compatibility. (Although, Chris and other peoplefound their own examplesof additional games that weren’t functional.) “Were” is the operative word in that first sentence because the official list has now been pared down to nine. Chair Entertainment has patchedShadow Complex Remasteredso that it’s now backward compatible on PS5: Our team has patched Shadow Complex Remastered for PS4 and it’s now playable on PlayStation 5!...
Clementine takes the lead Telltale Games has today lifted the lid onThe Walking Dead: Season Two. Another installment of utterly depressing zombie sorrow is coming out way. It is a time to be both excited and fearful. There will be so much sad! As suggested by the screenshots and teaser trailer, players will now directly control Clementine, struggling to outwit the undead horde and, inevitably, some human shits who’ll doubtless use the zombie plague to be terrible people....

It reminds me of Dungeon Keeper No seriously, the trailer has metal in it. Just watch it — you’ll see. Musical arrangements aside,Impireis a new game that looks to unite some of the basic concepts ofDungeon KeeperandOverlord, as you evolve your demon lord, dig dungeons, build rooms, and devise traps. It will have a full campaign and co-op play. In case you’re confused, it’s calledImpirebecause, well, there’s Imps in it....

“Do you love to playSuper Mario Brotherson the Classic Nintendo System? Do you like to get tagged from behind while you do it?” That’s not exactly the kind of phrase one would expect to read on a Saturday night, but if you’re perusing Craigslist, then you might just stumble acrossthis cheeky invitationto playMario Bros.in a hotel room while someone has anal sex with you. I’m assuming (and hoping) it’s a joke, but it’s still pretty mind blowing regardless....
Happy hunting In a mind-meltingMonster Hunter: Worldrun posted to YouTube this week, a player named miralis took on Arch-Tempered Kulve Taroth without any assistance and they miraculously lived to tell the tale. I’ll never grow tired of seeing people conquer high-end quests and raids all on their own. For anyone who doesn’t keep up withMonster Hunteror perhaps hasn’t taken a crack at Kulve Taroth yet, it’s worth emphasizing that the gold-plated beast ismeant to be faced by up to 16 players(four separate groups of four hunters) working together to contribute overall damage and earn rewards....
Test your might With E3 open to the public this year, I figured this was a great chance to talk to the people. To ask the real, salt of the earth gamers: what’s on your mind? Why did you come to E3? What has impressed you so far? I immediately shelved that idea when I realized I could instead ask people, “What sound does Mario make?” because it made me laugh....
