In the past, Nintendo has handled the entire process very poorly, ensuring that many of the rare figures were retailer exclusive in the US, and it generally did a bad job of communicating any and all issues to fans. Time passed however, and the amiibo situation got better. Now, while it’s due in part to Nintendo’s increased manufacturing efforts, I truly think a lot of it is because the demand died down....

Shadow of War was cracked in a day Piracy and cracking is a weird thing. CD Projekt Red fought it tooth and nailsending legal compensation notices to its usersbefore they backed off and become the “cool kid developer” they’re known as today. Some big publishers like Sega try to sneak it in big, otherwise critically successful games and act like no one would notice it and cause an uproar.

IGN hasposted an interviewwith Capcom senior VP Christian Svensson that goes into a wide range of topics, like howMega Man 9and10performed, why there are so manyResident Evil 4ports, and what’s up withMega Man Legends3.

Though still in its alpha infancy,Deadlockcontinues its steady climb to become one of the world’s most interesting shooters. This time we’ll be looking at how to build Warden, a character that’s more than meets the eye. Warden’s physical build and weak lane abilities might lead players to believe he’s meant to be a tank, but Warden is actually just a very sturdy killing machine — one that’s also incredibly fast. Do not jump into quick assumptions when playing or facing this guy....

I need a few weeks to get my beach body ready It has been one hot-ass summer and every day the temperatures hit triple digits, I sit back and soak in sweat as I imagine I’m any place but here. Antarctica, New Zealand, the northern tip of Greenland; they’re all much more desirable places to be when it’s hot this many days in a row. I would go to all three of those places and more if I were made or money — or was that clueless New York girl who gets thousands of dollars every month from her parents — but I’m not so the best I can do is the occasional weekend trip to the beach....

Considering the third (andbest) game didn’t sell well, I can’t say this comes as a shock, but it’s still a sad day overall for fans of alternate timelines full of insane weapons and glowy-eyed enemies, so let’s all take a moment and pour one out for Hale and the boys.
