Bill Trinen rightly chooses Pikmin 3 Game Informer recently caught up withfamed developer Shigeru Miyamoto, and asked him what the most underrated game on the Wii U was. His answer was somewhat predictable inStar Fox Zero, a passion project that he worked on for many years. He even throws in that “an elementary school kid who plays it without any preconceived notions,” would enjoy it more than the average gamer. That’s…quite a qualifier!...

It’s going to beat the Wii U already, the question is when Let’s break down how well the Switch is doing for a moment. Right now, the Switch is sitting on roughly 7.5 million units sold in eight months worldwide — that’s based off a number at the start of October, so it’s likely higher, and Nintendo is waiting for holiday/Black Friday sales to give us another figure. To put this into perspective, the Wii U sold 13....

Most Wonderful Time of the Year If there’s one thing that video game fans can expect when December 25 rolls around, it’s server outage. As the planet simultaneously makes way for an abundance of new consoles and online store gift cards, services from PlayStation Plus to Nintendo Online are often left feeling the strain as players spend a good few days gobbling up the juice. And speaking of Nintendo, the legendary developer/publisher has already candidly stated it expects this week to be no different....

With a couple of months left to go until the March 13 release, Team Ninja shared its plans forNioh 2‘s post-launch DLC schedule....

Promoted from our community blogs [Straight from our community blogs, Jinx has his own take on what he expected out of the gender choice option for Link ~Strider] A few days ago Nintendo finally showed off its newLegend of Zeldagame,Breath of the Wild. I felt like a kid againwatching the trailer. It was everything I’d always wanted aZeldagame to be, and finally the epic scope of Hyrule was a reality. Yet while most of us were basking in the warm glow of a wonderful new game reveal, others were expressing their righteous indignation thatBreath of the Wildwas missing a feature none of us had any right to demand....

#ScorbunnySquad As we told you a few days ago, our reviews ofPokémon SwordandPokémon Shieldare going to bea little bit late. We didn’t get our code until about 07:30 PST and it wasn’t until I got home from work that I was actually able to start it up. And once I did start it up, I didn’t stop. For nearly six straight hours I dove into the newest region of thePokémonfranchise. I explored the Wild Area....

The 90s are bad Can you believe this 3Dfx ad from the 90s recentlyunearthedonline byFelipe Pepe? In the era of “attitude” (or just ‘tude), 3Dfx had the gall to suggest all men, the fairer sex not graced with breasts, are all casual console babies. “We only want women buying our products,” 3Dfx says. No wonder the company went bankrupt in less than a decade, various IP rights scavenged by Nvidia. That’s alienating half your audience — and men have a not insignificant buying power, though they do tend to prefer consoles....

Johnny Luchador, the amazing host ofSuper Fantastic Videogame Rad Show: Get There!onDtoid.TV, recently attended the taping of a WWE Smackdown event forSyfy. He did so dressed in his full “Destructador” garb… and he’s in almost every shot! Parked in ringside seats near the announcers, Johnny’shome-made luchador mask, Destructoid green t-shirt, and giant “HEY DTOID NIERO” sign were in full view of the cameras throughout the night. Awesome! It’s stuff like this that makes me absolutely love this community....
