Also, Part time UFO Pikminis back! In Switch form! Alas,Pikmin 3is the latest game to get an update on the Switch, as Nintendo tries to move every single game possible from the Wii U to their newer, successful system. Not “more successful,” mind. Justsuccessful. Poor Wii U! I still have mine hooked up and play it. There are some things it just did better than the Switch, but I know I’m alone on my U-shaped island here....

RIP funny drawings and confused young boys Much to some fans’ dismay, Miiverse and StreetPass, Nintendo’s rather novel communication systems for Wii U and 3DS, weren’t mentioned last night during the extensiveSwitch presentation. If that absence left you anxious about the fate of these features on the system, your fears were well-founded. “I can answer that we’re not going to be using Miiverse for Nintendo Switch,” Nintendo of America’s David Young informedVentureBeat, also noting a similar fate for StreetPass on the Switch....

Poor mutated Paradigm is looking for love While adventure games are doing as well as ever, there’s still not too many that hark back to the classic era games likeDay of the Tentacle. They used to be really weird! Jacob Janerka’sParadigmseems to emulate that style well. It’s set in the strange, post-apocalyptic world of Kruzs, home to our hero Paradigm and all manner of odd inhabitants. Poor Paradigm is the unfortunate offspring of some dodgy genetic tinkering and now finds himself running a computer repair store on some backwater planet, but he still has dreams of becoming a top electronic musician....

Awesome idea MMOs usually have official “events” that are designed to get players to log in and play after extended periods of disinterest. They tend to involve holiday festivities of some sort, or in the case of some games, they make up their own annual celebrations. But this entirely player created event inFinal Fantasy XIVis something else. A group has gotten together on the Tonberry server, cosplayed as the Turks fromFinal Fantasy VII, andput out an open callto find them throughout the game world at a specific time....

Those who pre-ordered999: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doorswere treated to a very nifty gift: a replica of the bracelet that each character wore. Thankfully, while the in-game bracelets were shackling reminders of potentially imminent death, ours only told time. Aksys has just announced that the sequel,Zero Escape: Virtue’s Last Reward, will likewise have a pre-order bonus watch, this time modeled after the black bracelets from the new adventure. This supply limited promotion is available for both the3DSandVitaversions but only through Amazon....

Other two are back in the hopper Recently, developer Press Playallowed the community to chooseits next project. It was betweenDwarka, a procedurally generated game about a band of treasure hunters,Karoo, an open-world multiplayer experience, andKnoxville, a third-person multiplayer survival title. Said community has spoken, and it has chosenKnoxville, which was also my personal choice. Though, I’d love to see a procedurally generated game from Press Play sometime, as I think it’d do a wonderful job....

Moon Holy Grail War… Moon Holy Grail War never changes 10 years on from its original launch on PlayStation Portable, Type-Moon Studio has announced that it is developing a remake of anime RPGFate/EXTRAfor “current generation platforms.” Fate/EXTRA Recordwill cast players back to a parallel dimension, itself inspired by the 2004 visual novelFate/Stay Night.

Mr. Dream? More like Mr. Lame: ooooOOOooooo Punch Out!!is just one of those series that I’ll never stop playing and I’ll never forget. The SNES entry in particular is still mind-blowingly good, filled to the brim with unique characters throughout the entire runtime. It’s one of my most-played games ever alongside of the NES original. It’s a good thing then that Nintendo is bringingPunch Out!!to the Switch Online NES app, where it’ll be joined by two other games:Super Mario Bros....

‘No excuses’ WhenQuake Championswas announced at E3, it ruffled some feathers. In one moment, it made the PC crowd jump for joy when id Software noted that it would be 120Hz. In another, they crashed a lot of old school arena shooter fan’s hopes and dreams by explaining that it wouldn’t take after the originalQuakeseries, in that it would be a “class-based shooter.” But before I write it off, I want to see what it can do....

‘Shifting focus to other projects’ In a statement made toEurogamer, Relic Entertainment have announced that they are ceasing future development on RTSWarhammertitle,Dawn of War III. Citing low sales and a small player-base, Relic stated that their plans for the title have been abandoned, including any DLC and other additions. “WhileDawn of War 3has a dedicated player base, it didn’t hit the targets we were expecting at launch, and it hasn’t performed the way we had hoped since,” said the Canadian developer....

Anyone who’s heard of Lian Li knows they produce some of the most expensive computer cases. Seriously, they’re crazy expensive. Though with all the cool features and chic designs Lian Li brings to the table, some would argue the prices of these high-end cases are justified. Today, I’ll be reviewing theLian Li PC-B25Fmid-tower case, which features brushed aluminum plating, tons of removable parts, and a tool-less design. Here are thespecsfor theLian Li PC-B25FB: First Impressions After taking the case out of the box, I thought the case looked nice, but it didn’t look like anything special....
