Having now reached worldwide sales of one million copies,Limbowill be introduced to Mac users “before the end of the year” via Steam. Development of the game was not particularly fast, but the time invested seems to be really paying off. Developer Playdead has also gone back to being fully independent by paying early investors. CEO Dino Patti says “We are grateful to everyone who supported us over the past few years, and look forward to forging new partnerships that will both let us reach new heights as a studio and give our director, Arnt Jensen, room to grow creatively....
Second Life. The name alone brings about a variety of images, usually ones involving furries and other odd debaucheries. It’s really an odd amalgamation: one part chat, one part 3D world, one part faux-game. To me, it’s always been something I’ve abhorred to call an outright “game” and one I would refer to more as a giant “tool box.” In arecent article on GamesIndustry.biz, Linden Lab CEO Rod Humble shared some very similar thoughts onSecond Life....
Microwatch Microsoft was reportedlyworking on a touch screen watchback around the same time Apple was, though only one would go on to con people out of hundreds-to-thousands of dollars for a useless piece of tech that made you look like the world’s freshest herb. According toSuomiMobiili, these photos are of Microsoft’s prototype, which is branded with the Xbox logo and could’ve interfaced with the Xbox One. Remember when Microsoft’s whole deal was “second screen experiences” with its Surface line?...

But is it too late for stompy robots? Longtime readers of the site, especially folks that read my c-blogs and recap articles before I became a staff writer, know that I have a weird, on-again, off-again relationship withMechWarrior Online. It’s a game I want to love,but frequently don’t. One that I’ll play for months at a time, get fed up with some problem or another, and quit in a huff — only to come back a few months later to start the cycle all over again....

With premium 1000 yen lockets One of the biggest reasons for wanting to visit Japan as a kid was the prospect of setting foot into a Japanese arcade. The flashing lights, the sounds emanating throughout the street, the cavalcade of new games fresh on the scene — it sounds pretty amazing. I…haven’t gone to an arcade yet since I’ve been here for TGS (haha), but I did get the chance to experience part of the sensation withMonster Hunter Spirits....
TheMothergames are a highly celebrated RPG series, containing the likes of bothMotherandEarthBound. There’s alsoMother 3, a really good RPG from what I’veheard, that still hasn’t made it to the west. Ever since it came out in 2006 for the Game Boy Advance, fans have been beggingMotherseries creator Shigesato Itoi for an official English release. We’ve recently learned thatMother 3will becoming to Nintendo Switch Online, butstillonly in Japan. Western fans naturally clamored for a Western release, which got him to make a tweet asking fans to ask Nintendo, not him....
Also the Let’s Go game is pretty darn fun Curiosity gets the best of me the moment I’m given the Poké Ball Plus controller for my hands-on session withPokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu!The controller is small, roughly twice the size of a ping-pong ball, but holds well in the palm of my hand. There are just two buttons on the device, one of which I’m not supposed to touch. I do, because I have the patience of a child and must immediately press any button presented to me....

Ye old video game oddities – issue #5 In the last issue, we celebrated the demise of Miiverse by looking back at some notable Miiverse posts. Originally, this issue was planned for December and was supposed to be holiday themed, with an emphasis on holiday-related oddities from years past. But, it turns out 90% of publications in December back in the day just did buyers guides and I’m far too lazy to dig through those....
Probably a weird Nintendo way of saying ‘a new game’ Nintendo is really making a mad dash at the start of 2018, a stark contrast to their typical slow burn marketing strategy. In what Nintendo execs call a “crucial” year, they’ve kicked off a surprise Mini Direct that caught fire, and are now introducing a “new way to play” later today at 5PM ET (or 7AM Japan time tomorrow). That could just be some esoteric way of announcing a new game, or even more footage of an existing game/remake,as Nintendo UK is using a different tone, stating that the announcement is for “kids and those who are kids at heart....
