Do not steal Yamcha, the lovable loser, and Tien, the guy who goes from being the most powerful character inDragon Ballto being on par with cede lovable loser, are coming toDragon Ball FighterZ. Yamcha comes complete with his Wolf Fang Fist and Spirit Ball, while Tien has the Dodon Ray (which Toriyama seemed to forget Tien had), Volleyball Attack, and gets some assists from Chiaotzu’s telekinetic powers. Tien’s Tri-Beam even drains his HP when you shoot multiple shots, reflecting his battle with Cell’s ugly form....

Instant-access games from Humble Monthly We don’t frequently highlight the game bundle service Humble Monthly, but on occasion the selections are too enticing to pass up. That’s the case for November’s bundle, which includes our metroidvania bestieHollow Knight, the first season ofHitman(2016), and the zombie survival title7 Days to Die. The other games in the bundle are still a mystery (those will be announced and become playable on November 2), but just based onHollow KnightandHitmanalone, I think this one’s easily worth the $12 buy-in....

I like the idea of playing it at the DMV Coffee Stain Studios has broughtGoat SimulatortoiOSandAndroid. It’s $4.99. While the game is surely best controlled with something other than a touch screen, the make-your-own-fun sandbox experience is suitable for mobile, conceptually. It’s something you’ll want to play in short bursts to avoid burning yourself out too quickly. (Whoops.) I won’t double dip, but I enjoyed the disclaimer: “Goat Simulatoris a completely stupid game and, to be honest, you should probably spend your money on something else, such as a hula hoop, a pile of bricks, or maybe pool your money together with your friends and buy a real goat....

Even if it’s an E3 sendoff [Update:Reggie was able to tweet outanother farewell message yesterdayon his last day with his new Twitter account, perhaps bookending his career at Nintendo.] Reggie Fils-Aime is officially retiredfrom his position of president of Nintendo of America as of today (June 21, 2025), but his legacy will live on. He is a man who defied expectations and embraced the various nicknames given to him by the community over his storied 13-year career as president of NOA....

‘This is not my victory. This is your victory’ Steven Spohn, COO for The AbleGamers Foundation, has announced that his “Spawn Together” charity drive has successfully smashed its target of raising $1 million USD in a single year. Initially launched in September 2020, Spohn hoped that the Spawn Together campaign would hit the one million dollar mark by Jul 12, 2025 — Spohn’s 40th birthday. With just under a month to go, and thanks to the generosity and hard work of over 250 streamers — as well as a huge army of supporters — this goal was finally achieved on August 16....

Psychic Detective So it seems that the rumors were true. Spike Chunsoft’s strange “Nine Eyes” website has drawn back the curtain on its secrets, revealing the existence ofNirvanA Initiative,a sequel to the 2019 psychic mystery titleAI: The Somnium Files. The new sequel is currently in development for PS4, PC, Xbox One, and Switch, with a tentative release date of spring 2022. In what seems to be an incredibly grisly setup,NirvanA Initiativekicks off with the fresh discovery of half a corpse, the remainder of which first rolled up six years prior....

The turn structure ofMagic: The Gatheringis one of the many key features that set it apart from other TCGs. There are five turn phases within MTG, each with its own steps and restrictions that players must follow. When it isn’t their turn, players can react to their opponents’ spells or trigger abilities that have the potential to drastically change the board. Oftentimes, it can feel like “your” turns aren’t entirely yours– especially when playing againstthose pesky Control decks....

Box office round up Looking at the raw numbers you’d have to say thatAnt-Man and the Waspwas a letdown for Marvel. After all, their last five openings easily crossed the $100 million dollar mark on opening weekend without even trying, andAnt-Manonly pulled in $76 million. That doesn’t sound good, but it really is quite a strong weekend for the tiny hero. The originalAnt-Manwasn’t the box office killer either, and this weekend’s cume is a giant increase over that....

Gulp If you want the SNESDragon Ball Z: Super Butodenpack-in forDragon Ball FighterZon your Switch, you may have a limited window to grab it. Previously announced as a pre-order bonus weeks ago a lot of folks assumed that Bandai Namco would relax that requirement or later clarify when it would go on sale, but that’s not the case — at least anytime soon. Reaching out to the publisher, Nintendo Everything was able to find out that the bonus is remaining pre-order exclusive: after the pre-order period it’s going away forever....

For a franchise based mostly on mobile devices,Plants vs Zombieshas been running strong for the better part of the last two decades. Since appearing first in 2009, thePvZseries has been a staple for lovers of tower defense games. With the emergence of more powerful hardware, EA has experimented more with the main franchise. WhilePlants vs Zombies 3is yet to go live globally, let’s look at how the rest of the fully-released titles hold amongst each other....

According to Blizzard COO Paul Sams, Blizzard isn’t trying to tickle your pocketbooks by splittingStarCraft 2intothree individual games. In a recent interview withVideogamer, Sams defended the decision by noting that money was never a “part of the conversation.” It was done to provide a “better experience” for the consumer. From the interview: I guarantee it. I give my word. There was never, ever a conversation where we said, ‘let’s do this because we’re going to make more money’....

The mind reels Almost a year ago, I wrote about a100-man version ofBombermanwhich was, in reality, just a single-player game with 99 CPU opponents. At the time, I lamented that a truly massive multiplayerBombermandidn’t exist. That was then. This isBombermine. It’s a browser-based multiplayer game based on the core elements ofBombermanand capable of supporting up to 1000 players simultaneously. It winds up being a very different game from traditionalBomberman. First off, the goal is different, as it would be highly impractical to expect as many as 998 people to sit around and wait for a victor....

June 5 Although they will have a presence at the show, Bungie is going ahead and skipping a full E3 reveal for its “Year 2” plans, and will instead reveal them completely ahead of time on June 5. The stream will take place on Bungie’s Twitch channel on June 5 at 9AM PT, and the company is simply teasing the reveal of Year 2, with no extra bells and whistles. As previously stated Bungiehas “something new for the first-person shooter genre”to reveal at some point, which may or may not be teased during the June 5 stream....
