Coming December 3 to little fanfare People have said nothing but good things aboutRayman Jungle Runand the third mobileRaymangame using the same assets (afterFiesta Run),Rayman Adventures, looks great. And whileJungle Runwas limited as an endless runner (though, again, still pretty beloved), this one has full movement and exploratory platforming. But it’s on phones and the like — coming out December 3, just announced — so I’ll probably skip it. I don’t know why Rayman has been consigned to mobile; I supposeRayman Legendsdidn’t perform well enough, though Ubisoft kind of chopped its legs off with the whole Wii U exclusive/not-exclusive debacle around that release (I still hate the mosquito on non-Wii U consoles)....

Also, Pirate Pop Plus I know we’re still recovering from the NX (Nintendo Switch!) news, but here we are with a Nintendo Download episode with a bunch of old games. On the Wii U you’ll findRetro Road Rumble, Super Destronaut 2: Go Duck Yourself, Mr. Pumpkin Adventure, Shooting Range by Thornbury Software, Pirate Pop Plus, SteamWorld Heist, andThe Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks. That’s one of the most interesting collection of games I’ve typed to say the least, and I kind of chucked enough at “Go Duck Yourself” enough to look it up on Nintendo....

Overseas it was Stardew Valley Numbers don’t lie. Okaysometimes they do, but in this case, they likely don’t. Nintendo has provided a full list of top-earners on the Switch eShop for both Japan and the rest of the world, and it’s a pretty interesting set of info. For one,Minecraftis the top-seller in Japan, re-iterating just how popular the now Microsoft-led franchise is even today. In other regionsStardew Valleytook the top spot (man, developer Eric Barone might be the next person who buys a house in Beverly Hills), followed closely byMinecraft,Sonic Mania, andRocket League....

We’ll supposedly know more in September Chalk this up as another rumor on top of the pile of other NX rumors, but this one seems to have credencefrom Eurogamer, who generally has some top-notch sources. The outlet is reporting that the NX will be a “high-powered handheld console with its own display,” and that the screen is “bookended by two controller sections on either side, which can be attached or detached....

Released today on PS4 Never heard ofDogchild? Me neither, till today. Apparently it was announced in December of 2014 andwon “best game of the year”from the PlayStation Awards for titles developed in Spain. Before you rush to the PlayStation Store ready to drop $14.99 on the best Spain has to offer, you might want to check out some of the gameplay. As you may see, there is not only parkour, but also firstpersondog sections where you have to dig up meatballs, for some reason....

The almost minute-and-a-half-long trailer, titled “Seal Your Fate”, featuresThe Umbrella Academyactor casually taking a stroll through the halls of Gekkoukan High and Tartarus and, of course, monologuing about time....

Memento mortis Did I ever tell you that as a child I was fascinated with the idea of ghost ships? Well, I was — and I guess you could say that I still am in one way oranother. I grew up reading about the accounts of mysterious vessels like theMary Celeste; a merchant brigantine found sailing the Atlantic, on course for the Straight of Gibraltar with no one left aboard. I found the idea of an abandoned or derelict vessel intriguing....

Sony’s love for 3D is no secret, with the company being unable to shut up about the gimmick’s future potential. In order to show that potential, the company has taken matters into its own hands to create a PlayStation-branded 3D monitor. Designed to easily hook up to your PS3 and guide you to a land of dimensional wonder, the Sony PlayStation 3D Display is aiming to make an ideal entry level demonstration of the technology....

I’d wear Rocko’s shirt in a heartbeat Rocko’s Modern Lifewasn’t my favorite Nicktoon. It came out in the second (or third?) wave of Nicktoons where I was just getting a bit too old and “cool” to watch (until I got older and “cooler” and started watching again). Anyway, some folks love it, so they’ll be chuffed that the ol’ Wallaby with the super ’90s shirt is coming back for an hour special....

Knock other civilizations off the block with your sweet culture It has been over a year since the release of theCivilization V’slast expansion,Gods & Kings, but Firaxis and 2K have been hard at work on injecting some new units, civilizations, and culture with the next expansion,Brave New World. Lift those pinky fingers, good people, we’re going in! Brave New Worldbrings a wealth of new content for the avid and casualCivilizationfan alike....

But Wii U makes it in EVO Japan’s lineup was revealed this week, and it has a lot of the usual suspects.Tekken 7, Guilty Gear Xrd, King of Fighters XIV, BlazeBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter V, SmashWii U, andArmsall made it in. Wait, noMelee? Yep, a collective gasp overcame the internet when the list came out andMeleewas missing. You know what? That’s okay with me. Practically every tournament on the planet has been featuringMeleefor over 15 years, and I can easily just catch a new stream at any given time....

Cue-ball Babe A teasing look at the art book that comes packaged with theStreet Fighter 6 Mad Gear Box, (that’s a “collector’s edition” to you and me), has given SF players a glimpse at some of the cool concept art that has gone into the redesign of the 18 World Warriors that feature in the fantastic-looking sequel. More importantly, however, it has offered us the hypothetical pleasures of a bald Juri....

It’s not as badass as shark week, but sniper week is pretty rad as far as I’m concerned. Valve has sent out word that theTeam Fortress 2Sniper update is coming soon, and has proceeded to kick off the festivitiesby detailingthe first in-game addition, The Huntsman. The Huntsman is a longbow, in case you saw the picture above but didn’t know what longbows looked like. Pulling off a headshot with this bad boy results in an instant crit, and apparently if you hit your target and they don’t keel over, the arrow(s) will still stay attached to their body....
