Rumors have been swirling for some time now that Koei Tecmo was preparing to launch a collection of the Ninja Gaiden reboot trilogy, and now those rumors have been proven true. As revealed during the latest Nintendo Direct presentation, Koei Tecmo is re-releasing Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, and Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge together in Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection. While the Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection announcement during the February 17 Nintendo Direct presentation focused primarily on the game coming to the Switch, it’s actually in the works for other platforms as well....

Nintendo’s growing pile of Joy-Con drift lawsuits has become even bigger this week after another was added by a Montreal-based law firm. The Nintendo Switch has been on the market for almost four years and continues to go from strength to strength. The console and its games broke all sorts of records in 2020. However, there’s a shadow hanging over the console and the company that refuses to budge. The accusation that its Joy-Con controllers are subject to drift, and Nintendo is refusing to do anything about it....

A series of recent Nintendo Switch OLED previews, and at least one incredibly unofficial Switch OLED unboxing/comparison video, have finally given us a better look at the biggest (and smallest) differences between the upcoming $349 device and the base Nintendo Switch model. So is the Nintendo Switch OLED worth that investment? That really depends on your situation, preferences, and expectations. To the shock of absolutely nobody who has been following the Switch OLED so far, the biggest difference between the upgraded console and the base Switch is indeed the OLED’s 7-inch screen....

A fierce biotic holds her own against overwhelming odds to rekindle the dying embers of victory, sending them into a sweltering blaze that consumes all in its wake. An engineer deploys his omni-tool and dampens an array of autonomous turrets, decommissioning them and turning the tide of battle at the most crucial pivotal moment. A lone soldier stands on a lunar precipice, observing their targets through the scope of a souped-up Black Widow....

Old School Runescape features a variety of formidable monsters hiding within the vast lands of Gielinor, from great dragons to an arena led by tyrannical vampyres. These bosses are one of Runescape’s biggest draws, with only the best of the best able to take on these fearsome beasts and claim their great rewards. With such a large variety of bosses, it can be hard to decide which to spend your time and effort on, but if money’s the object of your desire, many drop unique and sought-after items (including some rare pets) that are sure to have you raking in a healthy profit....

Look, we all want a new Banjo game. Nuts and Bolts was a divisive title, to say the least, and a “spiritual successor” can’t ever really fill that special place in our hearts that the iconic bear and bear duo hold. But with Playtonic stepping in to quash rumors about a new Banjo game once again, it’s time for us to all accept it: the dream is dead. Playtonic took to Twitter to let people know not to get their hopes up....

When Digital Extremes says “soon,” they sure do mean it. Operation: Orphix Venom is already out on PC after a mere few days warning, and that means it’s time for Tenno to load up their Necramechs to fight off an incursion of Sentients. The crux of the Operation is fighting off the Sentient Orphix, a poisonous creature that sends out pulses that disable your Warframe. The only way to kill it is with the help of a Necramech....

It’s a big day for Final Fantasy fans, with today’s release of Final Fantasy Type-0 HD on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One being accompanied by a demo for the upcoming Final Fantasy XV. Final Fantasy Type-0 HD is already bringing in some respectable review scores, with many critics saying the game is a refreshing change of pace for the franchise. Square Enix’s “Day One” edition of the game is an interesting package, as it features a remastered title from the past (Type-0 first released in 2011 on the PlayStation Portable in Japan), combined with a much anticipated look into the series’ future with the Episode Duscae demo....

Babylon is the penultimate quest in Outriders’ campaign. This mission contains some serious lore bombshells and one of the toughest minibosses in the game. If you’ve been struggling up to this point, you might want to reduce the World Tier difficulty at the end of this quest. Gameplay-wise, this quest is fairly straightforward. You’ll need to carve a path through a town guarded by dozens of Ferals. If you lack AoE damage or high-damage weapons, now is the time to upgrade....

Due to some recent buffs to his healing grenade capacity and Amplification Matrix duration Baptiste has emerged as one of the best healers in competitive Overwatch this season. Overall, Baptiste is a very fun hero to play, as he can put out quite a lot of healing while also being equipped with a powerful weapon that makes him one of the deadliest supports in the game. With his pick rate continuing to rise at most ranks, we put together a list of ten tips to climb with Baptiste in competitive, to help players who are trying to improve with the character....

What does it mean for a game to be mainstream? From an economic standpoint a game is considered mainstream when the general population buys the game in addition to the core gaming audience. Some other mainstream franchises that most will be familiar with include Madden, Gran Turismo, and, everyone’s favorite plumber (and the reason Nintendo can sell 80 million consoles), Mario. However, Grand Theft Auto, while certainly a mainstream franchise, does not come out as often as other annualized games owing to the fact that it’s Rockstar’s flagship title, and one which they like to take their time with....

The first Paragon technical alpha is beginning and Epic Games today released an introduction trailer tutorializing many of the MOBA’s main gameplay systems. Prospective players of Epic Games’ in-development MOBA, Paragon, have received a small tease of gameplay up until now. Yet the promises of an Unreal Engine-powered, third-person MOBA shooter from the studio behind Gears of War stirs a level of excitement that’s surprising in today’s over-saturated market. Epic Games seems willing to strike while the iron’s hot, however, kicking off a technical alpha test and releasing a lengthy introduction tutorial trailer for Paragon’s first players....

The long-teased Overwatch 2 finally got a full presentation at BlizzConline this year. Jeff Kaplan and an assortment of developers sat down in a video call to finally give fans a look into the game, revealing maps and upgrades that have been worked on over the last couple of years. In addition to the PvE elements coming to Overwatch 2, some of the details regarding PvP that were discussed could fundamentally change the way matches play out....

We love statistics, especially when they’re bonkers like these latest ones are from Grinding Gear Games for their game, Path of Exile. According to part two of Grinding Gear’s Ritual Statistics report, one trillion Tribute has been earned by players running Rituals so far. Specifically, that’s a total of 1,313,156,248,242 Tribute. That’s a fair amount, no? Part one of Grinding Gear’s Ritual Stats report revealed that 624,332,098 Rituals were started by PoE players since the Ritual League feature was added to the game in the middle of January this year....

JRPGs have traditionally been a console gamer’s affair, though it is peculiar that it’s taken this long for JRPGs to reach ubiquity on the PC platform. Mainstays in the genre like Pokémon, Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, and Shin Megami Tensei have usually stuck to Nintendo or PlayStation consoles throughout the years. It’s arguable what the reason was for their console exclusivity back then, but nowadays it’s either because of tradition or exclusive contracts....

This article for The Resort contains no spoilers. “Unique,” “mysterious,” “bizarre,” “wild,” and “like nothing you’ve ever seen before”—these are just a few of the phrases the cast of Peacock’s upcoming thriller/mystery/romance series The Resort used to describe the series when speaking to Den of Geek during San Diego Comic-Con. But it’s possible that none of their answers actually go far enough. Okay, okay, maybe star Cristin Milioti’s declaration that the show “is as if Romancing the Stone and Jurassic Park were combined, but also were about the disappointment of getting older” comes close....

M0nster Hunter Rise is the latest entry in Capcom’s long-running action-RPG series. The title was announced as a Nintendo Switch exclusive and is set to launch in late March for the hybrid console, bringing the series back to a Nintendo system after 2018’s World was only available for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Rise introduces some new gameplay elements that have never been done before, such as the Wirebug mechanic that allows hunters to jump across the maps at high speeds to reach high areas and perform devasting aerial combats on monsters....

Since its inception, Mortal Kombat has been making headlines because of its over-the-top Fatalities, which are especially violent finishing attacks that players can execute at the end of matches. In Mortal Kombat 11, each character has two Fatalities they can use at the end of fights, but only one Fatality per character is available at the start of the game. When first starting the game, there are 25 Mortal Kombat 11 Fatalities available to players - one for each character on the roster....

It seems like fans have been anticipating Mortal Kombat X for a very long time indeed — but the wait is very nearly over. From series co-creator Ed Boon teasing fans on Twitter more than a year ago, to the tide of information regarding modes and characters on the roster in recent weeks, we’ve now got little more than a week before Kombat can begin in earnest. With that in mind, the Herculean marketing effort behind the tenth mainline entry in the tenured Mortal Kombat series has now offered up the game’s launch trailer....
