When Skyward Sword was originally released back in 2011, the game was praised for its innovative use of motion controls, beautiful art style, and creative level design. Ironically, 10 years later, those seem to be the strongest points of criticism when looking back at how it has aged over time. 

The Wii’s motion controls are often unreliable when compared to the gyroscope counterpart that’s now more common, the graphics back then look muddy next to today’s standards, and after playing Breath of the Wild, Skyward Sword’s linear level design could arguably be seen as a negative.

It’s a shame that some of Skyward Sword’s most talked-about strengths at the time of its release didn’t end up aging well. So many other elements truly shine and make it a standout game in the series, and those are the things that deserve to be talked about when discussing the game.

That’s why I was delighted to find that Skyward Sword HD improves upon nearly every part of the original game that had not aged so gracefully. Although there are still some minor aspects that don’t feel up to par with the standards of a Legend of Zelda game, the outstanding moments of Skyward Sword HD easily make up for it. 

Skyward Sword HD is a must-play for any Zelda fan.

It is the first game in the series chronologically and it tells us the story of how the legend came to be. Zelda isn’t a princess yet; she’s the daughter of the school headmaster. Link isn’t a hero yet; he’s a friend to Zelda and a knight in training. There’s no Master Sword or Ganon just yet. This is where it all began.

Wizard of Legend was originally released for PC and consoles a few years back, and while it didn’t exactly blow up in popularity, it was still one of the more engaging rogue-lite games we’d played during that period of time. Featuring tons of different spells to play around with, along with a very memorable soundtrack to go with it, Wizard of Legend made quite the impression on those that did put the time into it.

Announced just today, it looks like the game will be getting a mobile port this year, thanks to XD Inc and Humble Games.

The base game and all of its released content will be packed into it, and there will be a few mobile-exclusive features to look forward to, as listed below:

• LAN Multiplayer: connect mobile device to the same WiFi as friends and jump into the world of wizardry together 
• Brand new UI that feels native for handheld devices
• New control scheme to perform advanced maneuvers on touchscreens 

There’s no set date for the mobile port for Wizard of Legend just yet, but we’ll keep you updated as more info comes our way.

If you’ve been hankering for a new Soulslike to play, then we may have some good news for you. Yes, developer Fallen Flag Studios and indie publisher United Label have confirmed that their upcoming isometric 16-bit Soulslike, Eldest Souls, is coming to PS5, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC on July 29.

Coinciding with the game’s confirmed release date was a brand new animated trailer shedding some fresh light on the world that awaits us. Feast your eyes on the new animated trailer down below:

Eldest Souls was announced at the Nintendo Indie World Showcase last year and, at the time, was planned to be a timed Switch exclusive. Whatever happened to said timed exclusivity deal remains to be seen, though, as it now appears to be launching on all consoles and PC at the same time.

For further information, here’s an official rundown courtesy of the game’s press release:

Zack Snyder’s Justice League Cut took the world by storm when it was released on HBO Max earlier this year, as fans praised the editing and story changes that were made in comparison to the original product. Due to this success, one Marvel fan decided they’d try their hand at what it would look like if the director was in charge of shooting the airport scene in Captain America: Civil War.

As you can see in the clip below, created by Youtuber Conics, the Snyder Cut of Captain America: Civil War’s airport scene is far gritter in both look and tone, featuring fewer quips and a lot more slow-mo.

Conics stated in the description that they created this video for fun, and that it shouldn’t be taken too seriously. Still, you’ve got to admit that it has got Snyder’s style down pretty perfectly.

What do you think? Would Zack Snyder make a good director for the MCU? Let us know your opinion in the comments below.

Season 5 of Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout will be adding new rounds and other modes with a jungle theme beginning later this week, developer Mediatonic revealed in a livestream on Monday.

Season 5 will also introduce Limited Time Events with temporary challenges offering unique rewards, while Duos and Trios mode will be appearing periodically throughout the season.

It’s another start to the week, so you’ll want to have plenty of things to help you overcome the Monday blues. Luckily, we’ve got all of the gaming memes you could ever ask for, including Cyberpunk 2077, Hades, and Dark Souls.

So sit back, relax, and enjoy all of the hilarious gaming memes we found from across the internet last week. Be sure to let us know which ones were your favorites in the comments below. Also, don’t hesitate to leave any other great memes that we may have missed down there to help make us all laugh.

Apex Legends Season 10 is just a few short weeks away now, so Respawn is gearing up for the usual rollout of trailers, teases, and reveals. Today’s Stories From the Outlands video gives us a quick look at Seer, the new Legend that’ll be joining the Apex Games.

The new season is titled Emergence, and it’s going live on Aug. 3. Its launch trailer will be shown off at EA Play Live on July 22, so fans won’t be waiting long to see more. Emergence is bringing a new LMG called the Rampage, World’s Edge map changes, a ranked mode for Arenas, and more.

As for the Outlands trailer, it’s one of the shortest ones we’ve seen to date. Seer gets teased ever so slightly, as we get a quick look at his design and his special eyes that seem to hold great significance.

You can check out the Apex Legends Stories From the Outlands video for yourself below to see a bit of Seer’s backstory:

Psychonauts 2’s Aug. 25 launch is drawing nearer, and to set the scene, a new story trailer tees up another mind-bending and whimsical adventure with characters both new and familiar.

For those not up to speed, Psychonauts 2 is the anticipated sequel to developer Tim Shafer’s (Grim Fandango, Broken Age, Brutal Legend) acclaimed 2005 platform game. Once again, the player will control Raz, a newly graduated Psychonaut with powerful psychic abilities, as he delves into the minds of others. 

Psychonauts 2 has endured a long and rather troubled development history; initially announced way back at The Game Awards 2015 alongside a Fig crowdfunding campaign with a $3.3 million goal, the campaign exceeded its goal with an estimated delivery date of fall 2018 but was later delayed. Developer Double Fine would then be acquired by Microsoft in June 2019 and Psychonauts 2 was given a new date of 2020. It was delayed again last July with a 2021 release window and is now less than a month from its launch.

Today third-party developers shared three relevant announcements about upcoming scenery add-ons coming to Microsoft Flight Simulator.

Inibuilds and Origami Studios announced London Gatwick Airport (EGKK), coming this summer.

Being the second-busiest airport in the United Kingdom and the tenth in Europe, it’s definitely a great addition to the simulator.

Besides, it looks really good, as you can see from the screenshots below. You can also read an official statement describing what we can expect.

“In collaboration with iniBuilds, we are incredibly excited to announce Gatwick Airport for Microsoft Flight Simulator. Gatwick is one of the most popular and busiest airports in the UK, and we were incredibly excited to bring a rendition into the ecosphere. This scenery package will be a significant upgrade from the X-Plane version, with certain areas of the terminals upgraded for more optimal UV/Texture mapping, more ground details, custom ortho, support for MSFS based features and more. Ground layouts will also be based on the 2020/2021 version, including new A380 pier and construction works around Pier 6.”

Fans of CD Projekt Red’s Gwent: The Witcher Card Game can look forward to yet another major expansion next month as the developer/publisher today revealed Price of Power: Thanedd Coup in a trailer.

Set to launch on Aug. 3, Thanedd Coup will introduce 26 new cards to GWENT — 4 cards of different rarities per faction and 2 neutrals — offering fresh tactics and tricks for players to utilize during battle. It will also continue the storyline of the Price of Power expansion set — this time revolving around the Thanedd Coup itself; a deadly clash between mages of Nilfgaard and mages of the North which occurred during a conclave held on Thanedd Island.

Here’s today’s new trailer:

For those not up to speed, Thanedd Coup is the second installment of the three-part expansion set titled Price of Power. In anticipation of the upcoming release, players can take advantage of the Price of Power Expansion Pass offer — which features a set of vanities, including the exclusive Pyre coin, as well as instant access to all premium Price of Power cards from each of the set’s expansions as they’re made available.

Today Studio MyDearest announced a new game in its Chronos server, titled Dyschronia: Chronos Alternate.

The studio is well-known for its VR visual novels Tokyo Chronos and ALTDEUS: Beyond Chronos.

The new game will be released in 2022 for VR platforms, but which ones it’ll be for specifically hasn’t been announced.

We get the teaser trailer below and the motto: “Turn Back Time. Memories Are a Thing of the Past.”

Incidentally, the teaser site includes a small puzzle prompting you to type in a keyword. While I’m not good at this kind of puzzle, simply looking at the webpage source code reveals the theme song titled “Sunlight.”

Music and arrangement: Yosuke Kori and lyrics are by R!N and Yosuke Kori.

We also get the lyrics themselves. Of course, you can solve the puzzle to likely be able to listen to it. If you find the code, feel free to share it in the comments.

Today Type-Moon hosted a livestream offering news about its upcoming games, Tsukihime: A Piece of Blue Glass Moon and Melty Blood Type Lumina.

First of all, we learn that Tsukihime: A Piece of Blue Glass Moon has gone gold and we see a new trailer focusing mostly on Ciel’s route and the official box art. We also take a look at new art for the characters showcased today and the CG scenes.

You can check it all out below.

A few days ago, Bloomberg published an article alleging that the newly-announced Switch OLED would come with a healthy profit increase for Nintendo compared to the old Switch.

Today Nintendo took to its recently-opened Investor Relations Twitter account to reject that claim.

The announcement also clarifies that the popular hardware and software manufacturer has no plans to launch any other model at this time.

“A news report on July 15, 2021(JST) claimed that the profit margin of the Nintendo Switch (OLED Model) would increase compared to the Nintendo Switch. To ensure correct understanding among our investors and customers, we want to make clear that the claim is incorrect.

We also want to clarify that we just announced that Nintendo Switch(OLED Model) will launch in October, 2021, and have no plans for launching any other model at this time.”

Cases in which companies officially debunk reports like this are actually rather rare, as the usual policy is not to comment to avoid indirectly giving credence to reports that aren’t explicitly rejected.

That being said, this isn’t the first case in recent memory. Square Enix also debunked acquisition speculation following a report, also by Bloomberg, back in April.

Today Bandai Namco revealed the first live gameplay of the upcoming free-to-play first-person shooter Gundam Evolution, which was announced last week.

During the long livestream, we got to see two exhibition matches, showing popular mobile suit mecha in action.

You can check them out below.

In case you have missed the original reveal, Gundam Evolution is a free-to-play first-person shooter for PC (Windows 10 is required) that will let you choose a mecha from the franchise and wreak havoc on 6 vs. 6 battles.

There are three modes, point capture, domination, and destruction, and voice chat is supported.

Atlus is continuing its series of trailers focusing on the over 200+ demons of its upcoming JRPG Shin Megami Tensei V.

Today Aquaplus released another new trailer of its upcoming action JRPG Utawarerumono ZAN 2.

We get to see another chapter of the “Warrior’s Stories” feature, showcasing a series of substories that we’ll be able to enjoy in the game.

Specifically, the trailer showcases the substory titled “Birth of a Clan Chief” focusing on Nosuri.

You can watch it below, and there is a lot to see, considering that the trailer is nearly seven minutes long.

Utawarerumono Zan 2 will be released, at least in Japan, on July 22, 2021, for PS5 and PS4. You can check out the first trailer and screenshots and another trailer that showcased the cast and features, a third one, and more screenshots.

Today Spike Chunsoft released a new trailer and artwork for the upcoming Danganronpa Decadence collection for Nintendo Switch.

The trailer provides a look at the four games included in the compilation, while the artwork is a new piece of key art drawn by Danganronpa’s historical character designer Rui Komatsuzaki.

We already know that the compilation will include Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc Anniversary Edition, Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair Anniversary Edition, and Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony Anniversary Edition, and the brand-new board game Danganronpa S: Ultimate Summer Camp. The new key art is specifically dedicated to Danganronpa S.

Bethesda has just pushed out the new Steel Reign update for Fallout 76, but it looks like the developers are already looking ahead to the next new bit of content they have planned for the game. Announced via the Fallout 76 blog, Bethesda has stated that they’re looking to reopen the Public Test Server for the game some time this month to showcase a brand new feature.

“We haven’t yet discussed what’s in store with the September update, but it will include a significant new feature that will give players even more variety in how they choose to experience Fallout 76. We’re shooting to re-open the Public Test Server this month so that the community can dive into this new feature and begin sharing their feedback with us as soon as possible.”

Bethesda

Fallout 76 was a bit of a hot mess when it first launched a couple years back, but the game has since improved by leaps and bounds with consistent updates and new features being pushed out by Bethesda. The game still enjoys a pretty big and healthy player base, and it’s certainly reassuring to see that those updates will continue.

Fallout 76 is now available on PC and consoles.

HBO’s TV adaptation of Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us seems to be coming along nicely, as three more actors have been added to the cast. Another original voice actor from the game has been added as well; Jeffrey Pierce, who voiced Joel’s brother Tommy in the game, will be part of the adaptation, as reported by Deadline.

However, instead of reprising his role as Tommy, Pierce is taking on the role of Perry, a rebel in a quarantine zone.

In addition to that, Murray Bartlett and Con O’Neill have also been added to the cast. Bartlett will take on the role of Frank, while O’Neill will play as Bill, one of Joel’s allies from the first game. From how the cast is shaping up so far, it definitely looks like we’ll be diving deep into Joel’s backstory, as well as the events of the first game.

The Last of Us TV adaptation doesn’t have a set release date just yet, but we’ll keep you updated as more info comes our way.

Fenix Simulations and FlightSimGames released new assets of their upcoming add-on aircraft for Microsoft Flight Simulator.

We start with Fenix, which released three new screenshots of its upcoming Airbus A320 on its official Discord.

If you squint, you’ll see very impressive dried rain streaks on the windscreen. The level of detail going into this aircraft is certainly considerable.

Today Ubisoft announced that the reveal of a new Tom Clancy’s game will be announced worldwide tomorrow.

The announcement will be livestreamed tomorrow, July 19, at 11:00 am PDT, 2:00 am EDT, 7:00 PM BST, and 8:00 PM CEST.

At the moment, the only solid hint is that this is going to be a new game in the Tom Clancy’s franchise. The logo seems to be fairly colorful, but I’m not really sure if that’s a hint.

In case you want to watch along when the game is revealed, you can find the livestream embedded below.

Speaking of Tom Clancy’s, we heard that Rainbow Six Extraction has been delayed and to January 2022.

We don’t know if this is related to the expansion of the Tom Clancy’s The Division franchise that was announced a while ago.

This includes The Division: Heartland and a mobile game.

While we wait patiently for HBO’s upcoming The Last Of Us TV series, we’ve been lucky enough to have a spate of excellent fan-made film projects emerge from the shadows. From the insanely realistic Project Spores to a handful of well-edited movie concept trailers, Joel and Ellie’s gritty post-apocalyptic world is certainly rich with dramatic and dark storytelling ideas.

And speaking of which, a brand new fan-made short film inspired by The Last Of Us just released on Youtube (H/T Kotaku) earlier this week called Stay, and it’s seriously very well done indeed. Feel free to check out said short film down below:

Today developer Rat Tower has released a new trailer of its upcoming dungeon-crawling RPG Monomyth.

The trailer has been launched to advertise the upcoming debut on Kickstarter. The game has been in development for quite a while by a solo developer, but the developers see the crowdfunding platform as a way to gather funding to recoup increasing development costs as release approaches.

The developer defines it as “the world’s first rotary music rhythm game that makes clever use of mobile gyroscopes” and that’s indeed the selling point of the game.

You won’t simply tap the screen following the music, but also tilt it around in order to match the visual cues.

Marvel Games and Netmarble released a new trailer for their upcoming AAA open-world mobile game Marvel Future Revolution.

This time around, the trailer is all about another of the heroes included in the initial roster of the game, Captain Marvel.

You can check her out below.

Today the Japanese website Dengeki Online hosted a livestream showcasing a further look at Furyu’s upcoming school JRPG Monark.

We get to see quite a lot of gameplay including combat and a lot of dialogue scenes and menus. It’s an additional good glimpse at the game on top of what we saw a few days ago directly from Furyu.

If you’re unfamiliar with Monark, it’s a school JRPG developed by a team composed of multiple Shin Megami Tensei series veterans.

The game is coming to Japan on October 14 for PS5, PS4, and Nintendo Switch. After that, NIS America will publish it in the west for the same platforms plus PC in early 2022.

Below you can read a brief official description that gives you the gist of the story.

Atlus is keeping up with its series of trailers focusing on the over 200+ demons of its upcoming JRPG Shin Megami Tensei V.

The game is coming to mobile platforms, and it’s also getting cross-play and cross-safe involving all of its platforms.

This means that all players on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC will be able to play together, and of course, this includes players on mobile as well.

The feature is in development and more details about dates and more will be shared at a later time.

Below you can check out a trailer that was showcased during the event.

We also get to take an extensive look at The New War, the next chapter of the game’s cinematic storyline, which is coming in 2021.

Good Smile Company is making another Nendoroid figure portraying the hero of a western game, and it’s Eivor from Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.

The figure is available for pre-order at the manufacturer’s Japanese and American stores for 5,500 yen and $54.99 respectively.

The release window in Japan is January 2022, while those who pre-order in the United States will have to wait two months longer, until March 2022.

The prototype was sculpted by toytec D.T.C and the size is the standard Nendoroid height of 100mm (3.94 inches).

He comes with weapons, two (grumpy and grumpier) face accessories, his crow Sýnin and a base since Nendoroids don’t really stand on their own.

Below you can check out a few images and an official description.

Japanese figure manufacturer Bellfine revealed a brand new figure dedicated to Sega’s strategy JRPG Valkyria Chronicles 4.

“Dr. Rosalene and Dr. Watts have peculiar jobs: They give people another chance to live, all the way from the very beginning… but only in their patients’ heads.

Due to the severity of the operation, the new life becomes the last thing the patients remember before drawing their last breath. Thus, the operation is only done to people on their deathbeds, to fulfill what they wish they had done with their lives, but didn’t.

If you’d like to see more, you can take a look at the previous gameplay.

As map size is (almost) everything in PUBG, Taego is the same 8×8 size as the map the game first started with, Erangel. This might be a good time for anyone looking to get back into the game. It is also important to note that this is the patch for Console versions of PUBG, the PC version received this patch late last month.

The patch notes have this to say about Taego:

Taego has diverse terrain and environments, with numerous towns, compounds, and unique points of interest across the Battleground. Be on the lookout for wildlife, with flocks of birds reacting to player movement and gunfire, giving you a potential early sign of danger ahead. Comeback BR and the Self AED are two new gameplay features exclusive to Taego, giving players a chance to get back into the fight.

Comeback BR is the mode mentioned in the title for being like the Gulag in Call of Duty Warzone.

Comeback BR is a Taego exclusive second-chance mechanic allowing players who die during the first Blue Zone phase the chance to drop back into the fight later in the match.

Players who die during the first Blue Zone phase battle it out in the Comeback Arena, a location separate from the main Taego Battleground. Survivors who remain alive long enough in the Comeback Arena are transported by helicopter back to the Taego mainland in phase 3 to resume their fight for the Chicken Dinner.

Today third-party developers had a lot of news, reveals, and releases of Microsoft Flight Simulator add-ons to share.

Let’s start with an announcement. Japanese developer Technobrain (whom you may know for the excellent Yao Airport) moved on to a much bigger challenge and is developing Osaka Kansai International Airport (RJBB).

Built fully on an artificial island, it’s the third-busiest airport in Japan and the most relevant in the west of the country.

It includes two runways and two massive terminals, one of which is the biggest in the world, built by famous architect Renzo Piano. Of course, it’s served by both passenger and cargo airlines from all over the world.

You can find a few early screenshots below.

Despite being released back in 2019, My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising has been pretty hard to find unless you’re willing to buy it on DVD or by subscribing to the STARS platform. Thankfully, recent news has revealed the anime movie is headed to Hulu at the end of this month.

According to a press release, via Famitsu, My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising is set to arrive on the streaming platform as early as July 30. This decision was made as a way of commemorating and building up hype for the release of the third movie in the series, My Hero Academia: World Heroes’ Mission, which is set to release in theaters overseas next month on Friday, Aug. 6.

An official description of the film can be seen down below.

Izuku “Deku” Midoriya and his fellow students in Class 1-A of UA High’s hero course have been chosen to participate in a safety program on Nabu Island. To further improve their skills and gain experience in more ordinary heroics, the students aid the kind citizens with small services and everyday chores. With the low crime rate in the quiet community, all seems well and good, but the rise of a new villain threatens to put the students’ courage to the test and challenge their capabilities as heroes.

A merciless villain by the name of Nine is in search of a certain “quirk” needed to fulfill his diabolical plan—creating a society where only those with the strongest quirks reign supreme. As his attack on Nabu Island endangers the lives of the residents, securing the citizens becomes the first priority for Class 1-A; defeating Nine along with his wicked accomplices is also imperative. A straightforward strategy is formulated until a young boy named Katsuma Shimano, whom Deku had befriended, suddenly requires particular protection.

Third-party developer Drzewiecki Design recently released Moscow Sheremetyevo Alexander S. Pushkin International Airport (UUEE) in Russia for Microsoft Flight Simulator.

As the busiest airport in Russia and the fifth-busiest in Europe, UUEE is certainly relevant if you want to simulate airline or cargo operations in the country.

It’s currently available on Orbx Direct for approximately $23, which means that you can use the handy Orbx Central client to install the airport and keep it updated.

If you want to take a good look at what the scenery looks like, you can watch an ILS approach and landing on runway 24R in the first video below, and a full flyover in a variety of lighting and weather conditions in the second video.

Whether it is taking on Calamity Gannon as soon as possible or beating the game using only Gerudo Gear, Breath of the Wild players have imposed some pretty crazy restrictions on themselves to make the game feel even more challenging. All of that pales in comparison to watch streamer EverEverest was just able to accomplish, though, they completed the game while also playing Snake.

For the younger viewers, Snake is an old mobile game where you’d try and collect as many dots as physically possible on the screen without crossing over yourself. EverEverest decided they wanted to give this a shot while playing Breath of the Wild, stating back in Oct. 2020 that they wanted to use the hero’s path mode to never cross their own trail.

Update: As of 3:45pm ET it seems that it is far easier for most people to get their reservations in. It appears maybe I can actually take the clown makeup off, at least for now. We’ll see how the pre-order rollout goes, but it looks like, at the very least, if you want to get on the list for a Steam Deck, you can. Let us know in the comments below if you got a reservation in successfully or not today. Original story below.

I’m writing this post quickly before I head off to try and find some clown makeup for myself. Why? Because I’m a joke, that’s why. Yesterday, when Valve announced the reservation system for their upcoming console, the Steam Deck, it seemed like they maybe had a plan that could actually work.

There were going to be restrictions on who could actually reserve the Steam Deck at first. You had to have an account that purchased something prior to June 2021, you have to pay a reservation fee (which would go towards your purchase), and there would be a queue to sort people out in the order they got in line.

My expectations were low, of course, given how difficult it has been for so many to get an Xbox Series X and a PlayStation 5 in recent months, but, at least Valve seemed to have a plan. Well, unfortunately, it didn’t take long for the plan to come apart at the seams.

In fact, it appears that for many people on Twitter at least (and in my own experience), the plan fell apart almost instantly.
