Tails would totally be anti-NFT In a new “Sega Sammy Management meeting,”the publisher (spoken for by Haruki Satomi, Koichi Fukazawa, and Yukio Sugino), like several others, lays out its stanceon NFTs. The verdict? The Sega NFT strategy is basically the same as many other corporations:“can we get away with it?” Here’s Sega using corporate-speak to basically say “we’ll possibly dip our toes in a bit without pissing people off,”something they’ve dabbled in to an extent:...

Sin Kiske is the next fighter to join theGuilty Gear Striveroster as part of its Season 2 pass, arriving on November 24. Sin, the son ofGuilty Gearmainstay Ky Kiske and Dizzy, shows up here as the “ever-growing wild boy.” He’s still wielding his flag weapon.

Over 9,000: the joke writes itself So this is new. You know how the Switch â — kind of like the 3DS’ Activity Log â — tracks how long you’ve played something? Well Twitter user Samir AID managed to crack that baby wide open, as the timer no longer displays anything past 9,999 hours (though divine forces could still be recording beyond that). The culprit? You guessed it, the indomitableZelda: Breath of the Wild,whichstillhas our readers enamoredtwo years on....

blublublublublublub Used to beSonicgames would at least let you stand in shin-high,Interstellarwater. I stood in a lot of low water tending to my chao homies in their gardens (Dark Garden for life). This series was so much better in thepre Super Bowl nipple slip era. I spent more time in the Chao Gardens than I have with every postHeroesgame combined. This one doesn’t even count as a glitch, thoughSonic Boomseemsfull of them....

May 10 at 9:00am Pacific Remind me not to overdo it on the snooze button next Wednesday. Starbreeze is putting on astreaming eventwith “first looks and previews” for a bunch of games, a few of which — likeSystem Shock 3andPsychonauts 2 —you’re probably keeping tabs on. The stream is scheduled for 9:00am Pacific. On the docket: I keep forgetting Starbreeze has this much going on as a publisher. I still tend to associate its name withThe Darkness,Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, andPayday 2....

We told you that Sega would unveilYakuza 4at this year’s Tokyo Game Show, and they finally did today. I went over to their big unveiling this morning to check out all that they’ve added to the game, and I was so wowed that I almost forgot thatYakuza 3isn’t even out in America yet. The big news is thatYakuza 4has four protagonists in it (seen above, bottom row). There’s now a “speedster,” Shun Akiyama, strong man Taiga Saejima, cop Masayoshi Tanimura, and, of course, Kazuma Kiryu....

Followinglast week’sMultiVersuscharacter reveal, Player First Games has put out a proper gameplay trailer for the crossover’s newest playable fighter: The Joker. Despite the Clown Prince of Crime being the focus, though, Player First seems to have taken the opportunity to tease another set of characters, The Powerpuff Girls. The trailer begins with Batman’s computer being hacked by the Joker, which brings up profiles of several other playable characters. Eagle-eyed fans quickly noticed all three Powerpuff Girls—Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup—appearing on the display in the top right corner....

Good news for you and Mii Continuing the recent trend of “Hey, amiibo aren’t that hard to find anymore,” the next North American release looks like it won’t be that hard to find. And, the reason for that isn’t just because this is the first group of amiibo where almost no one has an allegiance to the characters. On November 1, the Mii Fighter trio will release exclusively at Toys”R”Us. The three-pack — made up of Mii Brawler, Mii Gunner, and Mii Swordfighter — doesn’t exactly have the cachet of Mario or Ness or any of the 47 already-releasedSmash Bros....

The Plucky Squireis an innovative adventure puzzle game that takes you on a journey through 2D and 3D spaces in its world. You’ll meet all sorts of wonderful characters and get to experience puzzles themed around stories in more ways than you might first expect. When I first sawThe Plucky Squire, I thought it was a platformer that took place entirely within a storybook’s pages. I really did think it was a 2D game, but I was pleasantly surprised when I saw that the gameplay has so much more depth and enters the realms of 3D space for its puzzles and story....
