In Japan, at least. Folks will no doubt be aware of Kazutoshi Iida from the cult-classic Doshin The Giant for 64DD and GameCube, but now two of the creator’s earlier titles are heading to the Switch. Tail of the Sun (1996) and Aquanaut’s Holiday (1995) both launched for the PS1 with western publication from Sony…
Capcom has revealed when we’ll finally be able to take on our first Elder Dragon in Monster Hunter Wilds during this week’s State of Play Japan, though I’m more interested in the mysterious performance improvements the developer is promising will arrive along with it.

I’m looking at you, humidifiers and toasters. The light bulbs that you need for the third phase of the Expedition Project are…
Let’s face it, Arc Raiders‘ robots are terrifying. Sure, you can one-tap a Pop, but if one (or even worse, a pack) sneaks up on you, you’re toast. Wasps may be similarly low on the food chain, but underestimate them and they’ll drop you every time. And don’t get me started on Ticks. The point…
