The world ofOne Pieceis filled with legendary battles, but not all of them have been shown on screen. Some of the most intriguing and impactful fights have been mentioned in passing or shown incompletely, making us fans wonder what actually happened during those moments. To make matters worse, some of these events have literally molded part of theOne Pieceverse, making it more frustrating not knowing how epic the battles have turned out....

Haha When December 20 rolls around, Season 2 will have officially begun forStreet Fighter V. It’s a pivotal moment for Capcom given their relatively low sales for the game, and although they haveclaimed they will support it for several more years, I wonder if we’re ever going to get an Xbox One edition down the line (I’d love to see the terms of that exclusivity deal). Either way, Akuma is someone fans have been wanting for a while now, but he’ll come with a special little costume alteration, just like Urien....

Art Attack Friday is your weekly look at videogame fan art created by a talented artist. Today’s Art Attack Friday is all about Mitch Loidolt and his outrageous art style. Mitch has drawn up a bunch of retro videogame characters with some slight additions to them here and there. The blue Ice Climber looks a bit on the crazy side, Woodman has some cute acorn shoes going on, theGologo 13guy has a long neck for some reason and Dig Dug is … well, you should go check it out for yourself....

‘Legacy’ server ghost in mere hours A fan-created server, which intended to emulateWoW’spopular 2007Burning Crusadeexpansion pack, has been closed within hours of going live by Blizzard Entertainment. The server, a four year work-in-progress by creator Gummy52, was hoping to house a closed community of around 3000 players, but word had spread fast about the emulated server in recent weeks, drawing attention to its upcoming launch. Blizzard issued a cease-and-desist letter to Gummy52, five hours after of the “Felmyst” server’s opening....

Lost his treasure Captain Toad: Treasure Trackeris actually an idea that started off inSuper Mario 3D Worldon the Wii U. While it was originally supposed to be just a mini-game, Nintendo liked it enough to invest in a full-on title based on the concept. When the game launched the following year, you were able to explore a couple of levels from3D Worldas Captain Toad (unlocked with save data from the previous game or by 100%ingCaptain Toad’smain levels)....

One of the most exciting eShop games I had a chance to preview last week wasn’t actually a game. It was an application and a continuation of a fan favorite DS homebrew app that never carried over to DSiWare (though it did make it’s way over to iOS devices). Colors! 3Dshares some of the same paint and edit tools that the DS homebrew app had, though it adds some wonderful new elements like the implementation of 3D and a really neat localized collaborative mode that allows you and a friend (or three) to paint together in real time....

After thatless than popular reveal trailerforDragon Age: The Veilguardat theXbox Games Showcase, the subsequent gameplay demonstration on June 11 was BioWare’s chance to win favour back with displeased fans. At the very least,Dragon Ageseries creator David Gaider likes what he saw, saying the development team have done a “great job.” Gaider, who served as lead writer on theDragon Agegames until he left BioWare in 2016 (makingThe Veilguardthe first entry without his involvement), recently got round to watchingthe gameplay trailerfor himself and shared his thoughtson Twitter....

This is following the sales of Drakengard 3 Yoko Taro, director ofNierandDrakengard 3, is not having a good year. Recently, he took to Twitter to dash any hopes of a PS4 version ofDrakengard 3, stating, “I hope to make the game for PS4 but I can’t have enough money for development.” Drakengard 3has since opened up to decent (but not great) sales in Japan, and that isn’t good news for his 2014 plans....

Break out the bubbly Champagne. It’s fizzy. It’s expensive. It’s classy as hell when drunk by Jay Gatsby, 007, or Marilyn Monroe, yet immediately, and irreversibly, trashes up any given situation when purchased by pretty much anybody else. Splatoon 2fans can ring in this weekend’s yuletide celebrations by popping their cork in the face of their opponents, as this week’s new weapon is the “Squeezer”. The weapon is reminiscent of what uncouth Brits might refer to as “A bottle ‘o’ Bolly”, usually drunk alongside pie and chips by Terry, in his too-tight polo shirt, and his stumbling girlfriend, who lost her shoes in the club....

Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Warsisn’t even near release yet, and British comicThe Sunhas already begun to cultivate its own controversy around the game. Having caught wind of the drug dealing aspects of Rockstar’s portable title,The Sunhas decided to report on the “Fury over drug dealing vid game,” and citedDrugslinerep Darren Gold, who had this to say: “Anything using drug-dealing as entertainment is sending out the wrong message. Glamorisation doesn’t help our work trying to educate kids of the dangers of substance misuse....

I realize that E3 was almost a month ago, but we’re still cutting together the videos we shot for The Destructoid Show. This one (which, ironically enough, was the first video I did from the show floor) features me and that lovable scamp Anthony Carboni chatting aboutXCOM: Enemy Unknown. “Turn-based” and “strategy” are two terms that usually make me zone out and start staring out the window out of boredom, but I’m really curious aboutXCOM....
