At least in this case This past week I’ve been really thinking about whatMetroidproducer Yoshio Sakamoto had to say about the future of 2DMetroid. While you’d assume it would be one of the least risky ventures for Nintendo to handle in-house, they opted to go with MercurySteam for the 3DS-boundSamus Returns. On paper, it all seems fine. Tasking third party studios with spinoffs and side projects is something Nintendo has been doing for years (and has worked out when studios are proven to produce results, like in the case ofSonic Mania), but this time, it’s a little different....

Meanwhile, no one went to seeAssassination Nationas it opened to only $1 million, andThe Predatortook a 65 percent drop with only $8.7 million. So, good job, folks. Way to make good decisions....

It looks likePersona 4: Dancing All Nightmight arrive simultaneously (or close to it) across Europe and America, as NIS has followed Atlus’ lead, announcing the rhythm game for a “Fall 2015” launch. In addition to the standard release, a “Disco Fever” special edition will be available at retail, which includes a two-disc original soundtrack, pouch, Teddie keychain, and PlayStation Vita skin.

I’ll say one thing for theRisenseries — it’s not afraid of a little color. Thepirate-themed sequelmight be violent and gritty, but at least its violent grittiness will get a tan, thanks to the bright sun and tropical colors. These new screens show off just how bright and cheerful the game will look in spite of its serious subject matter. It’s a contrast I quite like. You don’t have enough games that cater to adults without looking all grey and dreary....

The Maya Bros new beat-driven one-handed journey into sorrow A lot of weird, unmarketable, one track minded games are referred to as “masturbatory” by their detractors. From a wider perspective, many detractors of videogames in general refer to the medium as “masturbatory”, as so many of the well know games involve pleasure-based fantasy, repetitive motion, and a general undertone of primitive indulgence.
