After Mortal Kombat 11 Director Ed Boon posted a gif of a cartoon hand rolling ones with a pair of dice on Twitter Wednesday, rumors flew that he was teasing the addition of G.I. Joe’s Snake Eyes or a Dimitri Vegas skin for Sub-Zero as future DLC. While the guess is not totally unfounded given Boon’s history of trolling fans, NetherRealm Studios’ Creative Director confirmed today he was simply posting about attending the 2020 D....
Mortal Kombat Kollection Online has been rated for PC, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox One, which is weird (via Gematsu). It’s weird because publisher Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment cancelled these remasters in early 2018. The collection would have included revamped versions of the first three classic games in the Mortal Kombat series, sparked by fan remakes of Mortal Kombat 1, 2, and 3. The team behind Mortal Kombat HD: Kommunity was given Warner Bros....

More changes are coming with the update, but Ashton didn’t mention any specifics as to what. In a later tweet, Ashton claimed that she would post the full notes for the patch at a later time, so players will have to wait a little longer to see what they are. However, some of Ashton’s earlier tweets claim that the patch notes will be over two pages long and that changes are coming to weapons and perks, so there’s still a lot left on the table for fans to look forward to....
Nintendo 64 launched in the UK 20 years ago today, on March 1 1997. This was actually a Saturday, and I was there at the now closed Comet in Crawley. The launch came months after the September 1996 and November 1996 launches in Japan and North America, respectively. The wait was a painful one, but we were rewarded with a launch line-up which included three – yes three – games: Super Mario 64, Pilotwings 64 and Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire....
Nintendo is launching a Tetris 99 crossover event with Pokémon Legends: Arceus. The Maximus Cup event will run for a limited time from 20th January until 24th January. Once players accumulate 100 points, they’ll receive a new theme featuring art, music and Tetrimino designs based on the new Pokémon adventure. This is the latest collaboration event to hit the puzzle battle royale game, following a Metroid Dread theme last year to celebrate the return of Samus Aran....
Nintendo has caught the source that leaked Pokémon Sword & Shield critters and information ahead of its launch, and it will no longer work with the publication (via VG247). “In early November, Nintendo identified a number of photographs taken from game play that revealed multiple new and unannounced Pokémon from Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield,” said Nintendo and The Pokémon Company in an official joint statement. The leaks were plastered everywhere, revealing Galarian variants, Gigantamax forms, and starter evolutions, as well as locations and mechanics....
The next batch of Nintendo Entertainment System games that are coming to subscribers of the Nintendo Switch Online service might be the most obscure ones yet, as Kung-Fu Heroes and Vice: Project Doom will be added in late August. Kung-Fu Heroes is an overhead action game where two players can take on the role of Jacky or Lee. As either of the characters, they will fight through hordes of enemies in order to save the Princess Min-Min and reclaim the ten stolen treasures of the kingdom....

In Nintendo’s Ask the Developer Volume 5, several “behind the scenes” facts were revealed about Nintendo Switch Sports, including the detail that the game almost had playable robot characters instead of the human characters it ended up with. This fifth volume of Ask the Developer interviews some of the developers of Nintendo Switch Sports, such as Takayuki Shimamura (producer), Yoshikazu Yamashita (director), and more. The interview dives into how the team was aiming to create the world’s “most easy-to-invite to, motion-based game....
Well, dang. Nintendo’s plucky little hybrid handheld that could is at it again. Is no console’s sales record safe? Now it’s overtaking the mighty PS4’s lifetime sales in Japan! You’d be forgiven for feeling entirely unconvinced by Nintendo Switch around the time of its release. Not only was it arriving in the wake of the poor old Wii U, it didn’t have any major, big-hitting games to draw us in either....
If an entire universe in the palm of your hand sounds neat, you’re probably already excited about the launch of exploratory space sim No Man’s Sky on Switch. And it turns out the wait for its arrival won’t go on too much longer, with developer Hello Games having now confirmed it’ll be coming to Nintendo’s console - initially as a single-player-only experience - on 7th October. No Man’s Sky, of course, launched for PC and PS4 back in the summer of 2016, giving players an entire procedural universe to explore as their whims took them....
A blog from No Man’s Sky creator Sean Murray, founder of Hello Games, has addressed a number of “issues, bugs and crashes that players are reporting”. “The number of people players, and length of average play session, has been far more than our small team could have anticipated. That said, we’re working quickly to adapt,” says Murray. Murray apologised to all affected players, and revealed a new QA team – larger than the entire Hello Games team – has been brought on to compliment the existing Sony QA team....
Review bombing films and games on aggregate sites has recently been the result of statements that anger a vocal minority online, but strangely, it appears that Astral Chain has also taken several hits due its exclusivity on the Nintendo Switch. Following the notable reduction in review scores for Astral Chain, another of Nintendo’s exclusive games began to take a similar dip in its initial review scores. This time it was Fire Emblem: Three Houses being targeted, and the timing is strange considering that it released in late July....

Capcom has released a new action-packed trailer for Onimusha: Warlords Remastered, and despite its age, the game’s pre-rendered backgrounds actually hold up pretty well. Still, it’s worth remembering that this isn’t a full-blown remake like Capcom has done with Resident Evil and Resident Evil 2. Rather, the Japanese video game maker has smoothed down some of the rough edges and polished things up a bit, so it looks a little cleaner than the 2001 version....
