Living off the wall Yoshi’s New Islandis shaping up to be a crappier-looking retread of the originalYoshi’s Island, and some folks worry thatThe Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worldswill likewise compare unfavorably toA Link to the Past. I personally think the new graphics are dandy — the SNES sprites will always reign supreme, of course — but what matters most is how the game plays. Is it an adequate successor to arguably the best 2D action-adventure of all time?...

There’s a lot of stuff to get to! It’s almost impossible to narrow down a top five list of most iconicMario Karttracks — but thisMario Kart 8 Deluxetrack list is doing a good job of showing us what’s missing. Crafted by Azer_FR over on reddit, the list breaks down multiple games, and lists tracks that have and have not appeared inDeluxe. There’s even denotations for tracks that have been reused, or have never appeared again in any future game (and thus would be more ideal for preservation inDeluxe)....

And not much else PlayStation’s ringing in the new year by turning back the clock almost two decades. Double Fine’s 2015remake ofGrim Fandango(from 1998) is the game that’s meant to stand out in January’s lineup of PlayStation Plus free titles. It’s also the only cross-buy game, available on both PS4 and PS Vita. The other offering with some cachet is 2009’sDragon Age: Originson PS3. Come to think of it, that one’s also on the cusp of “oldie but goodie....

Mario Kart Worldis full of laughs and rage, but sometimes, the only thing that can stop the good (and angering) times are server outages. If theMario Kart Worldservers are down, you can’t win any races. You also can’t get hit by a blue shell at the finish line and lose any races either, but the good comes with the bad. If there are server problems, Lakitu isn’t letting anyone on any tracks, so you might be out of luck....

‘Embrace your animality’ Following hot on the heels on therender of upcoming DLC character Sindel, NetherRealm Studios’Ed Boon has tweeted out our first clear lookat another klassic kombatant returning toMortal Kombat 11, spiritual shaman Nightwolf. First appearing inMortal Kombat 3, Nightwolf was chosen by Raiden as one of Earthrealm’s defenders, alongside such luminaries as former shoalin monk Liu Kang and street cop Kurtis Stryker. Already a hardened warrior, Nightwolf is one of the few Earthrealm fighters who is capable of directly calling upon both the gods and the resources of nature itself....

MARVEL Mystic Mayhemputs a lot of focus on team-building, and it’s even more important if you’re a free-to-play player. There are different modes, and a team good in one might struggle in another. Over the last five days, I have been pretty lucky to get some of the best units currently available. I also managed to test out a couple of other accounts to check out all the 3-stars currently in the game....

‘Year 2’ rages on Destinyhas undergone a lot of changes since its inception — some for the better, but a lot of it was altered for the worse in “Year 2” of the game. For starters, there’s a massive gap between leveling weapons and armor (to the point where you need anungodly amount of experienceto level-up raid armor),microtransactions have been introduced, weapon balance isall over the place, DLC isno longer a priorityin favor of fleeting “events,” and PlayStation exclusivity has carried over to the second year of the game, dividing the fanbase....

Coming soon to Steam Early Access It looks like yet another MOBA is about to hit Steam in the form ofCannons Lasers Rockets, and that’s just fine with me. This one looks a bit different, as it’s a (cue thunderous voice) — MOBAAAA innnnnn spaaaaaaaace. Soon, you’ll be able to grab the game as a part of the Early Access Program, but it’s also a free-to-play title. Evidently it sports a “simplified” control scheme that makes it easier for newer players to acclimate, while veterans will still have the opportunity to discover the game’s depth....

Collect cards. Slay monsters. Have fun! You hold all the cards to winning today’s contest for a Switch copy ofMonster Slayers! Attention villagers — we have a monster problem. A pretty big one. They’re everywhere. They smell, and they’re mean, and frankly. I just don’t like them all that much. So, I’m going to need you all to go out and kill them. With the power of cards, of course....

Put your headphones on When I realized that we had neglected to write about Acid Wizard Studio’sDarkwood, which made the rounds last week, I jumped at the opportunity to do so now. You might have seen the embedded pre-alpha footage for this “top-down, oldschool survival horror set in a procedurally generated open world, with RPG and roguelike elements” already, but that’s a risk I’m willing to take. Because seriously, that’s one hell of a premise....

Behaviour Interactive has joined the conversation aroundDead by Daylight‘s Decisive Strike buff, explaining how it was never intended to end tunneling and adding that if anyone believes that, “you would be setting yourself up for disappointment.” Last week, as with every month,Dead by Daylight’s developer outlined what it’s been working on and what players can expect to see in the game’s public beta soon. Among the updates include a Decisive Strike Perk change that’s caused quite a stir within the community....

Are you onan Exotic-earning spree inDestiny 2? If so, you’re probably pretty thrilled about the release of an exciting new Exotic mission, Encore, which lets you earn the awesome-looking Choir of One special ammo auto rifle. The bit that might dampen the excitement, though, are all the bugs. While some ofDestiny 2‘s bugs have historically even been welcomed by the community andturned into full-blooded features due to their usefulness, the problems with Encore are markedly more annoying....
