Mega Man Battle Network took the series’ robot battles in a totally different direction on Game Boy Advance, with a grid-based combat system and an isometric world to explore.

All it takes is a quick glimpse of Reddit to see how excited the fan base is....

Break the fourth wall down. Normally, when one thinks of an updated title — especially with RPGs — the expectation is for it to arrive several years later on a platform that differs from the one it originally debuted on. However, if there is one company that doesn’t stick to normal conventions, it’s Compile Heart; so it’s only natural that it would shatter such expectations by creating Megadimension Neptunia VIIR — an updated version of a game that debuted on the PlayStation 4 in 2015....

Imagine having a mob stronger than the Ender Dragon and the Wither in Minecraft, only for it to drop a sculk block on dying. Feels rather odd, doesn’t it? Well, it gets worse. The mob we are talking about is the Warden from the Minecraft 1.19 update, and it drops sculk catalyst, which you can anyway find and mine in the Deep Dark biome using the silk touch enchantment. Something smells fishy, right?...

In something of a bumper day for previously Japan-only games getting released in the West, in amongst the innumerable announcements in today’s Nintendo Direct was a remaster of the 1994 RPG Live A Live. The game never released outside of Japan, but is finally finding its way to Western shores this summer, bringing with it a flashy HD-2D glow-up and a story spanning multiple protagonists and time periods.

Some new video footage has surfaced online looking at the character customization in Dragon Ball Xenoverse. Bandai Namco announced several weeks ago that you can create your own character in Dragon Ball Xenoverse. The video footage that has been released is short and brief mainly because it’s from the beta that will be happening later this week. Still, it’s good to see what the game will be offering. In the beta for Dragon Ball Xenoverse, you can only create one character and the races are limited....

The Grudge Engraving is one of several available to players in Lost Ark. Grudge Engraving increases the damage players do to bosses and higher-level enemies by +4/+10/+20% while also increasing the damage players receive by 20%. It’s an incredibly risky Engraving to use, and due to the tradeoff, it is only worthwhile at Engraving level 3. That being said, the raw damage output is so massive that many deem it a necessary Engraving for clearing the most difficult content in Lost Ark....

Along the way there have been a few hits, and a few misses, but the Mario Tennis series has usually been more hit than miss. Now a new game is set to come out in the series, with Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash. Nintendo has just revealed a release date of November 20th, putting it squarely in the otherwise desolate Wii U holiday season....

For a long time, there’s been a rumor that Microsoft would be getting out of the business of making and selling consoles to focus on apps and services. That was mainly due to new CEO Satya Nadella’s lack of interest in gaming, at least, in the days when he was appointed. However, things have changed, since gaming has become a part of the overall strategy at the company. Mainly because it is a mean to drive the cloud business with Azure and all the partners using the platform — including Xbox....
