‘We are aware that this technology has been gaining a lot of attention, and Nintendo is also investigating it’ While the specter of cloud gaming looms above the industry like a creature towers above Hawkins, Indiana, Nintendo is still making sense of it all. The Big N has always played a “wait and see” strategy when it comes to most infrastructure-based concepts (paid online is one such idea), and they’re doing the same thing with cloud gaming....

Just in time for the Olympics Surprised it’s been nearly a year since we got word Nintendo wouldpartner with Universal Studios on a theme parkin Japan. The world’s first theme park based on Nintendo properties (I did win a Mario plush in a shady carnival game somewhere once…) will be contained within Universal Studios Japan and will, understandably, beSuper Mario-focused, according toSankei. Universal is dumping ¥40 billion into the Nintendo land, which will be ready ahead of Tokyo’s duties hosting the 2020 Olympics, though Universal Studios Japan is in Osaka, 300 miles southwest of Tokyo....

PC indeed As someone who hereticallyprefers to play games on a controller, PC may not always be my first choice. But even I have to admit that it’s a platform that has some of the most compelling releases of the year, every year. When it’s easier for small, independent teams to publish to platforms like Steam or itch.io, the cream usually tends to rise to the top, so that PC is always one of the most stacked “best of the year” categories, in my opinion....

Free on the Epic Games Store until November 14 I will go to bat forNuclear Throne, especially while the PC version is free on the Epic Games Store. Look, I get it. There’s a near-endless supply of indie roguelike shooters in this world. So many of them blur together, and so very few are worth mastering. They can’t all beThe Binding of IsaacorEnter the Gungeon. But if you ever find yourself in the mood for just one more, for old times’ sake, giveNuclear Thronean honest shot....

Not the boats Overwatch‘s Rialto has been out for less than a week and people are already breaking it. As gathered online from various players, the below gifs showcase the ability to get play of the game (read: the final photo finish-esque clip that shows the “best” play in a particular round) by attempting to murder the innocent, invincible robot gondoliers that pilot the boats of the map’s canals. Yep, it’s definitely a bug, as these players are shown merely shooting an NPC to get play of the game....

Best Ore Farming Location inPalworld Here are the five best Ore locations inPalworldthat all have at least eight Ore nodes that you can mine....

Honestly, I have probably spent more time fantasizing about being a DJ than I have about being in a rock band. It probably has something to do with being in a booth, as that sort of seperation from the audience would likely be enough to overcome my staggering stage fright. That, and I really love hearing people take popular music and twist it about in creative ways. The image above shows GTTV host Amanda MacKay holding the DJ Hero controller....
