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)....

‘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....

Being a Wii U title, this Phospor Games-developed title will bring Wii U controller touchscreen functionality to the party for the first time.

Do y’all still care about this one? RememberBabylon’s Fall? Well, we remember the murmuring for several years,but after the E3 reveal, some folks have tried to forget it. While the idea of co-op action from Platinum sounds fun on paper, the art style is one of the weirdest aesthetics from the studio yet. Well, you’ll get to try it out for yourself soon enough via aBabylon’s Fallbeta. ABabylon’s Fallbeta period will begin soon, and will “gradually unlock additional content as the company moves into subsequent phases....

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. For free. If they’d like. It joins the main map rotation in “a variety of multiplayer playlists,” and Treyarch is also enabling a nothing-but-Nuketown playlist until Monday, March 28 at 10:00am Pacific....

It’s going to be a hard sell I don’t know where I was on April 23, but Imissedthe first footage ofOverlord: Fellowship of Evil. Until today, I was under the impression the new game was going to beOverlord III. Damn. Codemasters has a Q&Aup on its blogand a “Know Your Minions” video (heh). 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....

Actually it’s been decided for you, it’s a colorized photo The process of colorization has led to some incredibly impactful media, likeThey Shall Not Grow Old, and numerous colorized photos that provide new context for past events. We’re also at the point where open world games look exceedingly lifelike, which includes the lush landscapes ofRed Dead Redemption 2. And now the twain shall meet! As redditor kieferevans points out, this colorized 1906 photo from New Orleans below looks strikingly similar to aRed Dead Redemption 2location, St....

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....

Guns, guns, guns Charlie Intel, courtesy of user @syncohboyy, recently got its hands on what look to be data files for weapon DLC inCall of Duty: Ghosts. The files plainly state “dlcweapon” with a number designation following each, as well as a list of weapon attachments. If true, this would be the first time an Infinity Ward-madeCall of Dutygets weapon DLC, asModern Warfare 3was tasked to its memory capacity. 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....

No player info compromised Rely on Horrorspotted athreadon game hacking forum Unknown Cheats which suggests user DevDomo gained access to developer Bohemia’s servers. DevDomo’s proof came in the form of some images which are alleged source code files and their method of getting into Bohemia’s servers. Bohemia confirmed it “detected an attack” on some of its servers and that “the precise nature and scope of this attack is currently being extensively investigated....
