Paint it (Goku) Black Bandai Namco have released the intro movie for the upcoming Arc System Works title,Dragon Ball FighterZ. The game launches in just a little over a month, and hopefully this video will help to stoke the flames of HYPE. The suitably chaotic movie introduces the game’s roster, as well as showing off some blistering, cataclysmic action, backed by music that your dad will call “just noise”. It certainly gets the blood pumping, that’s for sure....

Last month we got a look at the first of two playable factions in Trion Worlds’ MMORTSEnd of Nations,The Liberation Front.

It also appears to be right in my wheelhouse. The Wraith Class is comprised of light, but powerful APCs, helicopters, and tanks favoring speed over raw power....

It’s not every day you see two Nintendo Directs in one week. While the March 27 Direct dove into the release dates of games likeShadow Labyrinth, twoPataponremakes, and the latestStory of Seasonsgame, this Direct is all about the Switch 2.

Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime recently toldForbesthat Nintendo is set to deliver community “in a way that’s unique to Nintendo.” This is extremely different than the company’s previous stance, which was (and still is) an attempt to put up a massive wall in front of every aspect that could be construed as online gaming. From the interview: Nintendo has always had a vision on community. The issue is that we define community differently than our competitors…Our consumers do want a sense of community, and we’re going to deliver that — but in a way that’s unique to Nintendo....

Nintendo certainly took the cries of fans into consideration when they said last year’s keynote ignored the hardcore gamer. More or lessevery game they announced this yearseemed as if it was aimed directly at people who have been long dedicated to Nintendo since far before the Wiimote was even an idea in someone’s mind. Cheers, Nintendo! One game we only got a brief glimpse at wasRock N’ Roll Climber, which challenges the player to use the Wiimote, nunchuk and balance board to “climb” a virtual wall....
