Make Captain Lou Albano proud During the weekend’s Super Bowl LVII festivities, production studio Illumination rolled out the big bucks to present fans with a brand new trailer for its upcoming releaseThe Super Mario Bros. Movie— And this latest preview was a real treat for old-school Nintendo fans, as it featured the return of the “Super Mario Bros. Rap”. For folks younger than my aging self, the Super Mario Bros. Rap featured as the title music to the choppy (it was) animated seriesSuper Mario....

Mega64’s Indie Man has made his triumphant return, setting out yet again to thwart AAA publishers in an attempt to stand up for the little guy. I like to think this is how things really happen. Jim reviewed the apparently miserableSpirit Camerafor 3DS, Valve is still (allegedly) working on hardware, Inafune said a thing… again, and more happened on 4/13. Destructoid Original:A 4-week-old Bastion looked ugly but played beautifullyFriday Night Fights: Destructoid vs The World!...

You were going to getThe Last Storyanyway, weren’t you? You don’t need a new batch of screenshots to make up your mind. After waiting all this time Mistwalker’s game isfinally comingto North America some time this summer. It’s not like Wii-exclusive RPGs pop up every week or something. Still, our saviors at XSEED took the time to share these new screens with us, so the least we could do is share them with you....

Stay fresh Umihara Kawaseis probably one of my favorite low-key platforming series at this point. Born on the SNES in 1994, the series followed a character named Kawase Umihara who bounds around with a fishing pole that serves as a grappling hook and catches creatures in what is essentially a half-cute half-terrifying (some fish have human feet) dystopian world. Although it could have easily died a slow death in the west it’s actually flourished due to a bounty of releases (including 3DS and even VR platforms)....

Painstakingly stitched together and perfect for double-checking your Sites of Grace You’ve probably seen the decked-out interactiveElden Ringmap onMap Genie, and it can be useful on a super granular level when the time comes, but there’s also a place for a simple no-nonsense version, too. At the very least, I’m personally getting a lot out of this high-resElden Ringmap that wasstitched togetherby Reddit userEziolambo. To put it in perspective,Elden Ring“only shows 1600×700 pixels of usable image on [the] map screen,” so they “had to take 80+ screenshots and combine them side by side....

Ejection perfection I’ve gone on record in the past to say thatI’m not all that enamored byTitanfall. But, one aspect of it that I can appreciate is the way that its mechanics and use of verticality can lead to some pretty nifty feats. Here’s one of them, even if it’s maybe one part skill and about a million parts luck.

WayForward plays the greats [Til Morning’s Lightis a new horror adventure title from WayForward and Amazon Game Studios, bringing together talent from titles such asAliens: Infestation,Skullgirls, and…Sailor Moon?

No info on price yet DedicatedCall of Dutyplayers are getting a treat in the near future. Some classic beloved content is being remastered and re-released, affording them the opportunity to relive those memories. But, it’s all coming to a game that they’ve probably stopped playing. On May 16, Treyarch is releasingZombies Chronicles, which is made up of eight classic Zombies maps remastered forBlack Ops III. Studio co-head Jason Blundell announced this in the video embedded above that was posted to YouTuber JCbackfire’s channel....

Go Team Cake! The demo for Ubisoft’sTom Clancy’s The Divisionwas one of the weirdest experiences I had at EGX. Ever since the game was announced, I have been cynical that what we’ve seen of it so far has been very controlled and carefully constructed to present an image of teamwork and tactics that just don’t happen in real games. The weird, artificial, faux-military chatter meant to simulate real people playing the game that Ubisoft had subjected us to inthat E3 trailerhad lodged itself in my brain as a sign that maybe it wouldn’t be all that amazing, and maybe that scripted teamwork would totally break down come launch day....

If you want to awaken the true might of your trainees inUmamusume Pretty Derby, picking the right support cards will be just as vital as picking the right training regimen. After all, a few great skills can be the key difference between winning the URA Finale and failing to even reach that stage. But which among the game’s massive selection can be considered the best? And more importantly, can any of the starter cards take you all the way?...

Become enveloped in cuteness Probably the most cheerful game I played all PAX (maybe of all time?) isYonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles— a bright, happyHarvest MoonmeetsWindwakerstyle game that goes beyond traditional farming simulation. InYonder, your customizable character washes up on the shores of a delightfully cute village and is immediately put to work collecting materials and running quests across the island of Gemea. Although there’s no combat, there’s plenty of quests to fulfill and traditional simulator activities to partake in such as farming and fishing along with non-traditional activities like collecting cats....

Some good stuff here The Xbox Game Pass library keeps growing substantially every time the calendar page turns. The first month of 2018 is no exception. Actually, January might be one of the best months in the relatively short history of the program. Come New Year’s Day, Xbox Game Pass is getting 10 new titles. There’s some decent variety, including games from Xbox One, Xbox 360, and original Xbox. Here’s everything that’s being added:...

In addition to the new ‘Minecraft Realms’ service Knowing thatMinecrafthas been a consistent top seller on Xbox 360, it’s unsurprising to hear that Mojang, 4J Studios, and Microsoft areputting out a disc-based releasefor the platform. When it arrives at retail in the US on April 30 for $19.99,Minecraft: Xbox 360 Editionwill come with all of the content through the upcoming ninth title update.
