Are you feeling trusting? Interested in gettingGuilty Gear Striveon Switch. Arc System Workshas a deal for you. If you preorder the physical addition from their online store, you can get a “Free Mystery Gift” bundled in. I’m honestly not sure how “free” it is since it comes up for me at $83, which is more than Switch games typically go for, even when converted to Canadian Loonies. That sounds like you’re payingsomethingto get it, which means it isn’t free....

Campaign trail Late last year,Battlefield 1gained a spin on its exciting “Operations” mode that was called “Operation Campaigns.” This mode strung together a bunch of various objective based maps to make a pseudo-campaign out of the multiplayer mode. It featured two variations; one that played on base maps and one that required DLC. It then vanished in early December with little word. Operation Campaigns have now made a glorious return toBF1and DICE has even upped the ante; you no longer need to own the DLC to participate....

Old people: They’re just like us! In 20 years, those who knows how to code will be floating around Earth 2, space-watering their space-lawns, anticipating the newGame of Thronesbook, and going on dates while the rest of us are stuck with cattle prods, forced to run on the treadmills that keep Earth 2 afloat. 81-year-old Japanese woman Masako Wakamiya will not be running on a treadmill. Wakamiya, a former banker, learned to use a computer at age 60....

Not a lot has changed in 22 years Thanks toGameXplain, we have another crazy side-by-side comparison between the overworlds of the upcoming 3DS gameThe Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worldsand its Super NES predecessorThe Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. There are a few differences to take notice of, like the absence of water in the Dark World ofA Link Between Worlds,but overall it really is quite astounding how nearly identical the two overworld maps are; even down to the placement of certain enemies....

Let (handheld) battle commence We are less than a fortnight away from the Western release ofFire Emblem Warriorson Nintendo Switch and 3DS. The Big N have released a trailer on their UK Twitter account featuring the game’s cast of characters laying waste to the opposition. The spot may only be thirty seconds long, but it manages to cram in a wealth of chaos and carnage, as Rowan, Lianna and co. wreck skulls and take names in the game’s en masse onslaught armies, resulting in screens filled with enemies and special attacks that bring about local armageddon....

In Soviet Russia, Amiibo pays for you [Update:Our Russian friends in the comments are reporting that the people in the video are saying that the Samus Amiibodoesn’twork with the Moscow Subway. I guess in Soviet Russia, green means stop and red means go.] Likethis trailer forStar Wars Episode VII, it’s possible that this video of someoneusing the Samus Amiibo to gain access to Moscow’s subway systemcould be an elaborate fake. It’s pretty convincing though....

It’s not exactlyElder Scrolls(or even in its vein), but it’s not like Bethesda hassteeredus wrong before, right? Wheelspinis a sci-fi racing title that appears to lean on the frenetic side.

Boooooooom Sony’s super nicePulse Elite Edition headsetswill see the release of an exclusive Audio Mode forBioShock Infinitetomorrow. Sony says that this is the first time they’ve partnered with a game developer to deliver a specially crafted audio experience for a game.

Ah, anotherChrono Triggerport. I’m not complaining, though. I haven’t finished it on the 1,323 other devices I own it on, so I’m planning to get it again for iPhone next month and not finish it again. Pricing and solid date information have not been released yet, but Square Enix has confirmed that the RPG classicChrono Triggerwill be hitting the App store next month for iPhone and iPod Touch. There are new menus and touchscreen controls, but the rest remains as it was in the Super Nintendo days....

‘We decided to lean into it’ Virtual reality is obviously the only way anybody will ever play video games until the end of time, but it has one major hurdle it still needs to address: how can it turn humans into sessile piles of organic matter whonever have to exit the virtual worldin order to attend to standard bodily functions like eating, drinking, pooping, or vomiting as a result of classic VR motion sickness?...
