Nintendo has confirmed that news about the Switch’s successor finally on the way, though the exact timeframe is vague—and the Switch itself is far from *****.

Many Destiny 2 players are hoping Bungie takes another pass at one of the weakest and most overlooked subclasses in Arc 3.0 ahead of The Final Shape, with many believing it is well overdue for buffs. Disgruntled players feel Arc’s once-signature “glass cannon” gameplay loop has since been lost to targeted nerfs and repetitive adjustments to other Destiny 2 subclasses which now better fill that gap, with many left struggling to see the positives of Arc today. It also hasn’t helped that the last few seasonal artifacts have leaned toward other subclasses, but even in a neutral sandbox, Arc really lacks its signature punch. View the full article
The Pokémon Company International (TPCi) has been increasingly strict about hack checks at in-person tournaments, but more and more evidence is pointing to flaws in the system—and it could even be penalizing the wrong players. Kurt a.k.a. “Kaphotics,” creator of the genning program PKHeX, posted a report on X (formerly Twitter) on May 6, mainly regarding a “new instance of VGC judges incorrectly removing a Pokémon” from a player’s team. According to Kurt, the issue revolves around traded eggs and can be triggered if the breeder has “a very long OT name.” View the full article
Bloodmoon Ursaluna is one of the most intriguing Pokémon to come out of Scarlet and Violet, and after proving its power on the competitive side, players are now hoping to see a lot more ‘mons like it in the future. Although Miraidon stole the show, shocking everyone at the Indianapolis Regionals this past weekend, Bloodmoon Ursaluna was another key part of Rajan Bal’s winning team while also rising in usage in Regulation G. The scary bear works well under Trick Room with lower Speed, great Defense, and a massive Special ******* stat at 135. On top of that, its signature Ability, Mind’s Eye, allows it to hit popular Ghost Pokémon, including Calyrex Shadow Rider and Flutter Mane, with its devastating Blood Moon *******.

We have finally crowned a champion in the race to a billion Dota 2 games played for a single hero, but you can hardly call it a race. Fan favorite Pudge reached the remarkable milestone today, on May 6, a huge 300 million games ahead of the next-most-played hero. A whopping 4,935 days after his early release in Dota 2‘s beta, The Butcher ******** the most popular hero in the MOBA by a very significant margin, according to the stats site Dotabuff. For the longest time, ******* and Windranger remained in the games-played contest but were overtaken by carry hero Phantom ********* recently; however, their popularity still pales massively compared to Pudge, who’s present in a third of all Dota matches.

As the winds of autumn gather to whip us, like some sort of FromSoftware boss inspired by Devo, games shall emerge as your perfect reason to stay indoors. Admittedly, we're in the ***** ******* of the year, so that means looking back to recent releases and classics of yore. If you do want to keep things seasonal, it's the perfect time to play the discounted Resi 4 Remake and Far Cry 5 below—both of which take place in autumn. Otherwise, just binge a ton of Yakuza games (purely because they're cheap and awesome). In retro news, I'm celebrating the 21st birthday of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, a GameCube gem worth every rupee. I have vivid launch memories of being blown away by the (fandangle and fairly groundbreaking) cel-shaded visuals and the sheer size of this vast Waterworld. Furthermore, the "living cartoon" aesthetic allowed for wackier than usual NPCs to shine through like never before. Cases in point: a significantly larger role for the turbo-flamboyant Tingle, plus the hilarity of that Battleship Minigame Guy. "Ker-BOOOM!"

VALORANT’s rocket-launching duelist Raze is usually known for a more chaotic playstyle, and now she’s completely catching ***** off guard with an unusual use of her Blast Pack in the series between 100 Thieves and NRG. For the most part, Raze’s Blast Pack satchel is used to send her flying onto site or elevate her movement, especially when popping her Showstopper. Other times, it can be thrown at other VALORANT agents to deter them or hinder movement. Little did players know the satchel could also be used as a ****** under extremely rare circumstances, as seen in the match between 100 Thieves and NRG in VCT Americas Split One.

For some reason, GTA 6 fans want to know the voice in the only trailer for the game. First, they said that was Troy Baker, and that was debunked. Now, a popular YouTuber is claiming to have new information about who could be behind the character.

Manor Lords launched for PC players late last month, and it only took about a week for modders to add Shrek as a playable character. The animated ogre icon can now be used to terrorize innocent medieval citizens thanks to developer NorskPL on Nexus Mods. It’s a simple mod that allows players to control Shrek as part of Manor Lords’ third-person Visit mode. Parading around town as the green menace might be a bit immersion-breaking, but there is no denying that the character fits into the setting extremely well. This is what happens when you don't get out of my swamp [Hidden Content] — One Proud Bavarian (@ProudBavaria) May 5, 2024 Manor Lords was one of Steam’s most Wishlisted titles for quite some time, so while developer Slavic Magic hasn’t officially added mod support, it isn’t much of a surprise to see players creating new content on their own. Of course, that also means Shrek is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to some of the project’s currently available mods. Some highlights allow players to control a Knight or even Kingdom Come: Deliverance’s Henry. Others push things a bit further, like the mod that adds The Witcher’s Geralt as a playable character. Most modifications, however, focus on gameplay tweaks for those who may want to alter the experience. There are also already a wide selection of custom Coat of Arms mods for Halo, Fallout, Berserk, Harry Potter, and more. One mod in particular allows players to experience Manor Lords in VR. It’s a custom gameplay change so impressive that even developer Slavic Magic couldn’t help but praise it. With or without Shrek, we think Manor Lords is a good time. In our 7/10 early access review, we said, “Manor Lords is a gorgeous medieval city-builder that kept me occupied for hours building my perfect, cozy hamlets, but it definitely feels very early in its Early Access development.” Image credit: NorskPL Michael Cripe is a freelance contributor with IGN.

Official Valve blogs often signal the arrival of new gameplay patches in Dota 2, but that hasn’t been the case for a while now, and Valve has today continued the baiting spree with its latest blog post about a community vote for skins. While the update may not feature any gameplay changes, it marked the first-ever feature carried over to the full game from Dota Labs: High-visibility hero HP bars. However, fans who saw the patch’s size before reading the blog post got their hopes up again, resulting in fan comments such as “Hurray, one GB patch… For nothing.” View the full article
Image: Yahoo! Auctions (Japan) Over on the ********* Yahoo Auctions site, someone has listed an apparent pre-production version of the Super Famicom — the ********* counterpart of the Super Nintendo (SNES). It’s similar to the console Nintendo eventually released in 1990 but with some stand-out differences, like a headphone jack and volume wheel on the side. Video game collector and historian Chris Kohler called it “****-tier Nintendo collector bait.” Some other variations include a big red power switch and the fact that the controller ports are on the left side of the console, rather than centered as they were in the eventual production model. There’s also what looks like the console’s expansion port on the front, rather than the bottom where it lived on the final... Continue reading… View the full article

Hades 2 is much like the first game, in that it doesn’t do a lot of hand-holding when it comes to completing tasks. Case and point, there are some friendly critters you can come across while playing the game. You can find them as early as Erebus, where a particularly interesting feline is waiting. But what is the cat in Erebues for in Hades?Hades 2 — Where to find the cat in ErebusImage: Supergiant GamesStarting out in Hades 2, I was excited with all the returning systems like fishing to be back. There are new gameplay elements that have found their way into the game, and even more coming with future updates. Melione for example, can use Magick and was taught how by the goddess of witchcraft, Hecate. As such, you can perform Incantations in between your runs. These Incantations function the same as the house renovator from the first game but with a whole heap of new features. One said feature, is the ability to give you a fountain room in Erebus with the Incanta...View the full article
