In the museum section of the Japanese version of Wario Ware Gold, you can unlock some slides showcasing the Famicom. Within the description, Nintendo themselves says that “NES” is pronounced “Ness”. The way an English speaker would pronounce “Ness” is, as mentioned before, just two characters in Japanese. But the way an English speaker would pronounce “N-E-S” is made up of six Japanese characters. Still, I’m curious: how do you pronounce “NES”?

GTA Online is celebrating the impending release of Red Dead Redemption 2 with a brutal melee weapon and a free pile of in-game cash.

The fictional land of Lordran is a very grim and dour place, full of undead, dragons, monstrous abominations, demons, and worse – in short, there’s a reason it’s the setting for a game called ” Dark Souls “. But what happens when a modder makes the simple change of cranking up the notoriously gloomy game’s brightness? Here, have a tour:If you’re feeling bold and want to try this unique version of Dark Souls (or should it be “Bright Souls”?) The video’s creator claims that all they did was remove

Typically, gamers know what to expect with a Definitive Edition. The “Definitive” descriptor could easily be traded for “Ultimate”, “Game of the Year”, or “Slightly Better” Edition, but Larian Studios, never one to maintain a low bar, is doing something different for Divinity: Original Sin 2. Think of it as a Director’s Cut, in which Larian, free of the pressures of pre-launch development, has had the time, space, and feedback needed to really think about where Divinity: Original Sin 2 could be

Well, its second season pass reveal trailer might just be your… saviour. That’s because, along with series mainstay Anna Williams and fan favourite Lei Wulong, The Walking Dead’s Negan is joining the fray. Announced at EVO 2018, the Tekken 7 season pass 2 trailer reveal started off in pretty standard fashion. With Season 2 of the TEKKEN 7 Season Pass, fighters such as Anna Williams, Lei Wulong and Negan from AMC’s The Walking Dead join the fight! AnnaLeiNeganElon MuskMickey MouseChe Guevara6 Aug

The Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 multiplayer beta took place exclusively on PlayStation 4 over the weekend (it’s coming to Xbox One and PC this Friday), but it’s been a rough one for both its players and developer Treyarch. As far as my experience with the beta is concerned, I was surprised by the mediocrity of both Black Ops 4’s visuals and gameplay smoothness. Perhaps, now that the first weekend is over, the studio can take a good, hard look at the feature, and whether it deserves to be in Black

EA has confirmed Ultimate Team for FIFA 19 – hardly a shocking development, granted – by unveiling ten new Icons for this year’s game. Those new names aren’t the only factor likely to entice you into purchasing FIFA Points come the game’s September 29 release date. Also neat are new post pack-opening options which enable you to dispatch cards to transfer list and quick sell piles with a quick flick of the right stick: up for transfer list, down for discard. FIFA 19 will also follow suit from sta

The Boomsday Project set debuts on August 7, bringing a multitude of mechs, a new Hero card for Warrior, and the game’s first-ever Legendary spells. As the wise Ben Brode once told me , “it’s more fun when you beat people with bad cards.” Honorable mention: Hand Mage cardsAstromancerWill this archetype be a repeat of the failed Freeze Shaman, or somehow defy all logic to become viable? Perhaps the Hand Mage cards will find a place in control decks like Big Spell Mage (my most beloved deck). For

Also because ads in cyberpunk worlds tend to be pretty cool just on their own. In my estimation, this means one of two things: a) CD Projekt Red doesn’t intend for everything in its cyberpunk future to be glitzy and action packed; or b) they’re cover operations for more sinister (and probably cooler-sounding) clandestine groups. Kiroshi is an established cybernetics manufacturer in the lore of the Cyberpunk tabletop RPG, so that checks out. I mean, they’ll probably still make fantasy movies in t

With Destiny 2 ‘s Forsaken on the horizon – promising big changes to the world and weapons – Bungie has dropped some hot community stats, including that Destiny 2 players have collectively spent a quarter of a century just deleting shaders. 807, 635, 214 of them, just in the 77 days of season 3 of Destiny 2. Other notable numbers include the revelation that 194,051 player ave already snagged Whisper of the Worm, but only 8,750 have Redrix’s Claymore. Bungie also dropped a teaser for its “Year Tw

Thankfully, director Matt Reeves has finally offered some information on where the film is in the production pipeline. Speaking of rumors, one of the biggest surrounding the movie has been that Ben Affleck would not return as Batman . Reeves wouldn’t outright confirm who will play the hero, instead stating, “There are ways in which all of this connects to DC, to the DC universe as well. We’re one piece of many pieces so I don’t want to comment on that except to say that I’m focused very specific

The brilliant Monster Hunter World finally lands on PC (and is likely to hit even harder than it did on console)The success of Monster Hunter World is staggering. It’s just that… well, it’s Monster Hunter. Monster Hunter is hard, and complicated, and demanding, and obtuse, and involved, and all the other things that have traditionally kept it such a niche favourite over the years. Sam LoveridgeWhat: Overcooked 2When: August 7Where: Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One6. Leon HurleyWhat: Call of Duty B

It was the most world-shaking comic book event of the ’90s – the brutal slamdown between the Man of Steel and the monstrous Doomsday that ended with black armbands all round in Metropolis. Now The Death of Superman arrives in feature-length animated form, part of the popular series of DC Universe movies. There’s an all-star voice cast led by Jerry O’Connell, Rebecca Romijn and Rainn Wilson as Superman, Lois Lane and Lex Luthor, joined by Rosario Dawson as Wonder Woman and Jason O’Mara as Batman.

The last thing you expect to see in Cyberpunk 2077 ’s futuristic world filled with hovering cars, a helluva lot of neon signs, and implants in your eyeholes is an ashen-haired woman outfitted in fantasy gear. But pay enough attention to a particular quote in The Witcher 3 and suggestions dropped by none other than Geralt’s voice actor and there’s a strong case for Ciri (briefly) appearing in Cyberpunk 2077. And there were no horses everyone had their own flying ship instead.”Without a doubt, she

Horizon Zero Dawn, a PlayStation 4 exclusive, is heading to new, uncharted waters. It’s entering the world of tabletop adventures with Horizon Zero Dawn: The Board Game, which has been announced by Steamforged Games (SFG) as an officially licensed product that’s in the works and on the way. This was explained in a blog post on SFG’s website, which also showed off concept art for some of the mini figures that the company intends to create for the board game. With this game we’re going to give pla

If you haven’t seen Ant-Man and the Wasp, nor caught its post-credits scenes, then, right now, you may want to hide yourself away for the foreseeable future. So much so, that we simply had to try and tease out a little more info from Paul Rudd and director Peyton Reed. “We didn’t know for a long time whether our movie was going to address [Avengers: Infinity War’s ending] and, if so, how?” explains Reed. Particularly, where they see it, because it is a bit surprising, to say the least.”That’s th

The burning of TeldrassilHere’s the thing about Night Elves: like many other incarnations of elves, they’re a woodsy folk, living in harmony with nature and the elements, etc. But where, say, Tolkien elves might inhabit a city within a forest, Warcraft’s Night Elves put their city on top of a forest. Just as it was for the Night Elves themselves, the tree – called Teldrassil – became a home to players. A limited-time event leading up to the next World of Warcraft expansion, Battle for Azeroth ,

Looking forward to the Spyro Reignited Trilogy ? If you opt for the physical version, you’ll only get the first game in complete form on-disc, while Spyro 2 and Spyro 3 will require a download. Destructoid asked for clarification from Activision and was sent the following statement: “The global launch date of Spyro Reignited Trilogy is Sept. 21; and we’re excited for fans to play all three reignited games on that day. The language on packaging and on the web is to let players know the requiremen
