You won’t find Nintendo Land on the US eShop anymore

But really, who doesn’t already have this that wanted it? In a strange move that no one understands, everyone’s favorite Mario factory has recently removed original Wii U pack-inNintendo Landfrom the system’s eShop. Exactly when, we’re not sure. NeoGAF users found the title gone from the digital store, and according to some it’s been gone for awhile now. Of course, this only applies to the North American store for whatever reason and, as reported by Nintendo Life, UK Wii U owners are still able to purchase the game digitally at full price (the price cut never made it overseas)....

Among the Sleep is dropping VR support

‘Feels horrible in VR’ Among the Sleepis one of those video games I love in theory, even if not in execution. A first person horror game where you play a small infant exploring a spooky house with a living teddy bear, the game was creepy in all the right kind of ways for me. For a while, developer Killbrite has been teasing VR support for the game. Today,the studio announcedit has now scrapped VR plans for the game, as the directed cinematic nature of certain moments just didn’t mesh right with virtual reality....

Black Ops III’s Nuketown goes free on PC, PS4, Xbox One

The personalization items are free, too Nuketown (you’re able to’t make me swap out that “e” for a “3”) was available as a pre-order / early-run bonus map inCall of Duty: Black Ops III, but as of today, latecomers can also play on it.

The game’s newdirection has “come as a surprise to our fanbase (we’re not blind to the YouTube comments), but I guess we just ask that fans give it a try – you might be pleasantly surprised....

Conan O’Brien takes on Tony Hawk 5 in latest Clueless Gamer

With Tony Hawk After a three-month hiatus, Conan O’Brien has resumed his Clueless Gamer segment, this time focusing onTony Hawk 5, with guest stars Lil Wayne and Tony Hawk. I love how Conan has stuck with this bit for over three years now, as the original video debuted in June of 2012. Funnily enough this whole video is actually rather informative (the level at 7:00 looks a lot like Roswell), since Activision has showed very little of the game off in general, and the whole affair is a bit of a mystery....

Last year’sCall of Duty: Black Ops 2was the first time weapon DLC was introduced to the series, though the memory limitations of current-gen hardware meant that the Peacekeeper SMG would be the only weapon added....
