In this crossover video, we discuss preview events (and why I don’t do them), independent developers, and the classic problem of industry overspending.

Fantasy books aren’t usually accessible to young people, given their tendency to try and compact a few centuries’ worth of fictional worldbuilding into a couple of hundred pages. Fortunately, a growing number of fantasy books written specifically for younger readers are helping to bridge that gap. Young adult fantasy books existed before I was even a glimmer in my parent’s eyes, but they started to gain popularity around the time I started seriously getting into reading....
Time for our “It’s a slow news day so here’s a ludicrous story vaguely connected to videogames” moment. Today is Black Friday, a day in which shoppers confirm that they are mindless cattle to be milked by capricious corporations by shedding their dignity and acting like barbarians to get discounted goods. This year’s Black Friday has already beenhome to pepper spray attacks. Videogame consoles bore the brunt of the madness in a Porter Ranch Walmart, where people were fighting, screaming, and ripping at the plastic wrap intended to section off the gaming goods until a set time....

This isthe exact same style as Yacht Club Gamesin regards toShovel Knight(which has createda lot of good willfor them), and the polar opposite ofMighty No....
There’s plenty of opportunities there I remember how shocking it was that Capcom made that deal with Nintendo for multiple GameCube games. After being a partner with Nintendo for years on the NES and SNES, they kind of abandoned ship for the Nintendo 64 and moved over to the PlayStation. When I heard thatResident Evilwould be coming to GameCube, it was a big deal. The cycle begins anew, as Capcom is now jazzed up about the Switch after playing it safe in the early months....
Don’t take it to the bank yet, but there’s a good chance “Versus Mode” won’t be the last bit of downloadable content forResident Evil 5. Chris Svennsson recently spoke withButtonBasherand revealed Capcom was at leastthinkingnew content. “We haven’t ruled out more content for RE5 as DLC,” Svennsson said. “In fact, on Capcom-Unity.com last week, someone asked the same question and I asked fans what they wanted to see if we were to make some more....

On PS4 It’s still weird to me that something calledDanganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girlsis now part of the zeitgeist, popular enough for Spike Chunsoft and NIS to localize and promote like it was almost a AAA game, but here we are in this delightfully brave new world. While it’s been confirmed for the west for quite sometime, we now know that this spinoff that’s set between the first and second games is coming in June in Europe and the US (June 23 and 27 respectively)....
