It was announced last week thatMario Party 10would be gettingits own amiibo line. The good news is that every existing character in said sub-series (Peach, Yoshi, Bowser, Luigi, and Mario) would be interchangeable with the existing amiibo figures. In other words, you don’t need to double-up and buy both, with the exception of Toad, a brand new toy that will work withCaptain Toad: Treasure Tracker. Funnily enough, Mario is not listed yet, but he will be includedin his own bundlewhen the game launches, so you should be safe if you really want the second variant....

Lots of work left to be done It seemed inevitable that Twitch was going to roll out asystem for flagging copyrighted musicin past broadcasts, but what streamers and viewers got this week felt largely unfinished. The company is adding an “appeal” button for videos on demand that have been erroneously flagged and muted by the audio recognition system, which really should’ve been there already. But if this tech is here to stay, it’s at least nice to hear Twitch say “We recognize that the system is not yet perfect....

Are you afraid of the dark? Trick or treat! While it feels like solid scary games can be hard to find lately, tonight we’re in for aWorld of Horror… (haha.. get it..)

I’ve spenttimepouring over this existential question. The world needs to know: what if videogame consoles were Transformers? Here are the Transformers they would be, mostly framed through the IDW comics because those are rad. You’re welcome....

Oh Christmas is next week? Let’s sell some Wii Us then Nintendo, in its late but infinite wisdom, hasfinally decidedto discount the Wii U, now only $200 flat for its factory refurbished unit at the Nintendo Outlet store.

Pictured: my favorite wrestler of all time, who also happens to be coming toWWE ’13. Lucky me! THQ has just announced their DLC plans forWWE ’13, and for better or worse, it’s quite a bit of content. Their DLC plans consists of three packs, which contain a host of wrestlers, divas, and move-sets. How do I feel about getting Gangrel and Val Venis in the same pack? Pretty damn good....

As of right now, the studio is temporarily discounting quite a healthy selection of its releases. We all know that Capcom has a myriad of choices, especially when it comes to horror, so it’ll be quite unfortunate if you’re able to’t find at least one franchise that’ll suit you....
