Dost thou sense it? Welp, Nintendo and Sony are already in development on a live-action Legend of Zelda movie and our brains are buzzin’.

The Nintendo Switch and the Switch Lite shifted 180,316 units this week compared to the Playstation 4 family which shifted 8,094. The big games this…
Rising Lords is just the sort of game I’m most vulnerable to: historical strategy with the simple setup of a tabletop wargame and the quality of life and large numbers that are only possible when a computer does the math and moves the pieces for you.

Look, up in the sky! It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s… Abraham Lincoln? Who… is a bird? It only takes a few minutes playing Time Survivors, a new Vampire Survivors-like, before you’re in control of the sixteenth American president, flapping his arms and flying over ancient Egypt, massacring aliens with a yo-yo and summoning…
The Smash Bros. creator shares an update. There has been quite a bit of conversation about the future of the legendary video game developer and Smash Bros. creator Masahiro Sakurai calling time on his career, and even he’s spoken about this himself previously.
