I Hope Breath of the Wild 2 Still Has Weapon Durability
There’s a lot of divisive splits in the gaming industry, but few are as bitter as the topic of weapon durability in Breath of the Wild. The 2017 Legend of Zelda game is often considered one of the best games of all time, but a contingent of players bristle at that assertion.…

The Gorgeous Indie Game Sable is Nothing Like I Expected
Sable, an absolutely beautiful upcoming indie game about traversing a brightly colored desert, got a surprising demo this week. I don’t just mean “surprising” in that we didn’t know it was coming. I mean it actually served the purpose of a demo — teaching me more about the game than…

Zelda Fall Down Big Hole Go Bye-Bye
The latest Breath of the Wild sequel trailer looked unsurprisingly snazzy at the E3 2021 Nintendo Direct. Also unsurprising, for the first direct Legend of Zelda follow-up in a grip, is that it looks very familiar. Same style, same Hyrule, same Link, same Zelda, plus some Skyward Sword-ass freefalling and floating islands: it’s…

WarioWare Get it Together Revealed for the Switch
For the first time since the somewhat quixotic 3DS game, WarioWare returns with a new game. Unlike previous WarioWare games, in this title, players take direct control of Wario and his compatriots in the WarioWare universe to actually interact with the minigames. This change is seemingly to facilitate the co-op, so two players can…

Somehow There’s One Fewer PS5 Exclusive Than When E3 Started
The Gearbox E3 2021 Showcase was pretty hard for me to watch. Mostly that was thanks to the downright bizarre “Slice of Homeworld” segments the stream cut to between every other presentation. Homeworld 3 was crowdfunded on Fig a while back. Rather than show off the upcoming RTS, published by…
