Microsoft has released a lot of sleek-looking color schemes for the Xbox One controller already, but the design team hasn’t been put to rest yet. A new color scheme has recently been revealed, and it looks absolutely gorgeous—the Sport White Special Edition. This new color scheme features silver and mint-colored accents, along with some futuristic-looking patterns along the face cover. The back of the controller features a rubberized diamond grip which not only makes it feel more comfortable, but it looks great too....

Apex Legends season 2 is well underway, and most players have learned by now how to deal with Wattson’s fences. However, it seems that the Apex Legends metagame is looking at another shake-up because developer Respawn Entertainment appears to be teasing the addition of a second legend for season 2. The rumors of new legend “Crypto” joining the roster in season 2 have been circulating for a while now, but it seems as if Respawn is getting ready to take the next step....

Mortal Kombat 11 is well known for its incredibly gory fights and brutal fatatlies. But MK11 is also really popular with fans for a different reason: the array of new and interesting skins for playable characters (like the very sexy Catwoman skins for Kitana). The next set of seasonal skins have been leaked on Reddit, and fans are excited for them to drop. Mortal Kombat 11, unlike the previous games in the series, was designed to be updated for years, according to Ed Boon....

Negativity? In the gaming community? Come on, Ninja, that’s a little far-fetch… oh, wait. Now, there’s no denying that Fortnite has been a phenomenal success story. Originally, its battle royale component was just a side note, but it became so much more than that. The game single-handedly popularised the genre for many of us, and has done fantastically well on every format it’s been ported to (which is all of them)....

Nintendo has decided that Super Mario is still employed as a plumber, despite claiming last September that the moustached fella had seemingly fixed his last leaky pipe some time ago. According to a translation (via Nintendo Life) of Mario’s bio on the official Nintendo website, ‘his occupation is plumber. However, his activity is not confined to that area.’ That’s putting it mildly, as at last count Mazza had tried his luck at playing golf, tennis, baseball, karting, footie, and even at some point becoming a doctor to pay the bills....

Yesterday’s announcement of the Nintendo Switch Lite revealed that the new version of the console would be focused on handheld. This, naturally raised a fair few questions about the company’s older portable hardware. Current President of Nintendo of America Doug Bowser has told The Verge that, in spite of the new console’s release and the relative lack of new releases on the system of late, Nintendo aren’t putting the Nintendo 3DS out to pasture just yet, saying ‘We’ll continue to support our 3DS family of systems as long as there is demand....

Nintendo will reveal the first details about its new NX platform as early as March, Tokyo-based Nomura Securities analyst Junko Yamamura has said. Following the first info between March and May Nintendo will make a full console reveal in June – presumably at E3, with the system’s launch then expected to follow between October and November. “We think the NX will start to boost operating profits in 18/3 [Oct-Dec 2017], when it will have been on the market for a full year and will have a line-up of software titles, which carry high operating margins,” explained Yamamura....

When the headlines of The Outer Worlds coming to Switch in March arrived, fans were thrilled. Nintendo Switch owners would get to experience the highly-acclaimed space RPG. However, hype for the Switch release was diminished when the dreaded, “Full Game Download, Game Card Not Included” popped up on the box. This means fans can go to a physical store like GameStop or Walmart, and buy the game’s case. But, the cartridge is not included, instead featuring a download code one can put in the eShop....

When it comes to the Nintendo Switch Online service, one might feel that the vast library of older Nintendo games will be more than enough to keep players busy, such as the recent Mario Golf addition. However, the presence of the Expansion Pack membership plan means players can get their hands on Sega Genesis games as well. In the latest round of additions, Nintendo has added Sonic the Hedgehog Spinball, Shining Force II, and Space Harrier II to the service....

Over 350,000 PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles have already been sold in the UK this year, according to a report in MCV.

Minecraft Dungeons, which was originally slated for release this month, has instead been delayed until May 26. According to Mojang executive producer David Nisshagen, this decision was made to avoid a brief period of crunch. While the game could have released sooner, the studio felt it was better to push things back. “We don’t want to stress the teams during this time,” Nisshagen said while speaking to Eurogamer. “We could probably have made [the old date] but that probably felt uncomfortable – partially for the team and also for the players, who we couldn’t guarantee would get a good, fun game....

When I sit down to speak with Lorne Balfe, the composer of Mission: Impossible – Fallout, the sixth and arguably best of the Tom Cruise spy movie bunch, we have to pause midway through the interview. It’s not something that happens very often, nor is it something that, generally speaking, Balfe or I would prefer, but a funny thing was happening during the interview: Lalo Schifrin was on the radio discussing how much he loved Balfe’s reworking of the “Mission: Impossible Theme....

If you’re fearing the day that Microsoft pulls the plug on Xbox Live for the Original Xbox, then watch out for EA pulling online play for some of their older titles. On March 16th, a handful of EA titles on various platforms will lose their online functionality. EA has stated that the games being “retired” only make up 0.3% of the online community. Here is a list of the games getting the online ax:...

Multiplayer games are designed to bring players together to work as a team. Many players will gather their friends in order to party up. From there, they will go online to work together and defeat the enemy team. However, there are times when playing with friends is not as fun as playing solo.
