E3 2019: Scope Out These Wacky Switch Controllers

E3 2019: Scope Out These Wacky Switch Controllers

, , , , , , , , 0

How do you know when a video game console has truly arrived? When has it truly been accepted as a success by the gaming public? If you ask me, it’s the point when they make a controller for your console shaped like a Dragon Quest Slime. The Slime Controller, manufactured by Hori, first appeared for the PS2 and models have been made since for other models like the PS4, and as of the latest E3, the Switch. You can keep it in its packaging, where it will peer out at you while resting on a grass pattern like an encounter. But it will also work as a controller and it does everything the Switch Pro Controller does, including HD Rumble and motion control. The Slime also comes with an optional cardboard stand to make your Switch look like a Dragon Quest treasure chest: Complete with a little crown for your Slime. Too much is never enough. In other controller-related news, when the detachable Joy-Cons were first revealed to the public,

E3 2019: Shenmue 3 Might Not Truly Be The End

Here’s something we never expected to hear. The websute USGamer caught up with Yu Suzuki, director, writer and pretty much everything behind the existence of the Shenmue series. The reporter asked Suzuki if Shenmue 3 would be concluding the story of protagonist Ryo…not really a question most other reporters felt like asking, because obviously it would, right? Think again. USGamer reports that “Suzuki took out his water bottle and placed it on the table between us and pointed to about the halfway point.” Then he said “Whole story of this bottle, about here,” through a translator. The reporter asked for clarification, and if he meant halfway. He meant even less. “40 percent,” said Suzuki. Shenmue fans know the game’s storyline was originally intended to be very long. When it was conceived on Dreamcast, a long number of games were planned — plans that had to change when the Dreamcast started collapsing and Shenmue II didn’t sell well on the XBox. What is Suzuki betting here — that he can crowdfund

E3 2019: Spyro Reignited Trilogy Comes To Switch September 3

Earlier this year, Activision and Toys For Bob fire-breathed new life into an old mascot with the Spyro Reignited Trilogy. The compilation was released for Playstation 4 and XBox One, but Switch owners have been waiting (im)patiently for their own turn with the dragon. Given that the Crash N-Sane Trilogy made it to Switch, I don’t think there was ever any real doubt that Spyro would turn up. Nevertheless, advance confirmation is nice. Spyro lands on Switch September 3, bringing his greatest adventures with him: the original Spyro the Dragon, Spyro 2: Ripto’s Rage, and Spyro: Year of the Dragon. Immaculately remade from the ground up, Spyro Reignited Trilogy features the exciting and nostalgic gameplay that fans enjoyed years ago with over 100 levels, enhanced reward sequences, as well as the beautiful redesigns of Spyro’s hoard of zany dragons and other goofballs (including Sparx the Dragonfly, Hunter, Sheila, Agent 9 and Sgt. Byrd) and many more. The trilogy also includes enhanced environments, a remastered soundtrack, updated controls, brand-new lighting and

If you want an arcade machine that plays Star Wars, just ignore AtGames’ suspicious “Legends Ultimate” cabinet and feast your eyes on the newest offerings from Arcade1up. A Star Wars cabinet was revealed on the show floor today, along with cabinets for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Marvel properties. First, Star Wars. The cabinet was announced months ago, but this was the first time anybody got to look at it….and it’s mighty sweet, recreating the vector-age original Star Wars arcade stand-up perfectly. The Arcade1Up version also contains the arcade versions of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. WELCOME TO DIE! The Marvel arcade machine contains X-Men: Children of the Atom, plus the lesser-known Marvel Super Heroes and The Punisher games. Seeing as the Capcom brand is already stamped on the unit, I would have gone for any Marvel vs. Capcom game instead. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles arcade cabinet is one of the most iconic, with its painting of a model representing April holding a camcorder.

Here’s something we never expected to hear: Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled, the remake of the classic Playstation kart-racer, is going to have seasonal content updates. New content will appear in the game for months after its release, free of charge. That’s definitely something that never happened in the original! Already, the game is said to have all the tracks from the first game, AND all the tracks from its lesser-played sequel, Crash Nitro Kart. Now developer Beenox has revealed a Grand Prix event that will introduce new characters and tracks to CTR post-launch. The first of these will begin July 3, not long after the release of the game. Today, in a first-look of CTR TV, hosts Chick and Stew revealed all the fun awaiting players in the Grand Prix. They also revealed that fans will get a brand-new track with each Grand Prix. The first track is called Twilight Tour, which takes players on an epic journey by day and night through the middle east. That’s not all, Chick

Tokyo RPG Factory, Square subsidiary and creators of I Am Setsuna and Lost Sphear, will be bringing their third major project, the action RPG Oninaki, to consoles and PC August 22. The game’s protagonist, Kagachi, is a Watcher — someone assigned to patrol the hidden netherworld and return lost souls to where they belong (reincarnation is a proven fact in this world). On his appointed journey, he’ll get to know other Watchers like respected leader Kushi, kind-hearted Mayura, and the most likely villainous Night Devil. As you progress through this purplish land in an overhead perspective, you’ll encounter a whole lot of monsters who don’t want you to do your job. It’s a good thing, then, that you have some Netherworld citizens on YOUR side. There are some lost souls that can’t be reincarnated — instead they turn into Daemons, special types of souls that can assist the player in battle. Equip a Daemon and they will appear behind you, making a weapon materialize in your hand. There’s Aisha, the

Deck13 and Focus Home Interactive have let loose a new E3 trailer for their upcoming action shooter, The Surge 2. Like most AAA games these days, The Surge 2 takes place in the apocalypse. The world is in a state of anarchy as looters, cultists, and even rogue robots roam the streets. The situation sounds bad — for a civilian. Good thing YOU have a high-tech exo-suit that can be upgraded from parts you scavenge in the environment or from slain enemies. Plus, you’re not technically alone — you have a Combat Drone following you that comes equipped with its own suite of weaponry. Inside the high walls of Jericho City, trapped in a technological apocalypse that threatens to consume everyone within, our hero fights to survive and uncover the truth of the disaster. Cult members hopped up on drugs, nanomachines, looters, and security forces will try to stop you wherever you go while a mysterious girl leads you to parts unknown. If you preorder The Surge 2, you will

E3 2019: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Coming To Switch

E3 2019: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Coming To Switch

You can soon refer to Geralt as the Switcher: amazing as it may sound, his entire game is being shrunken down into a tiny, bad-tasting Switch game card. Saber Interactive is handling the port of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and they say nothing will be left out, including all the DLC and extra cosmetics that have been added over the years. Witcher 3 needs no introduction to modern gamers; it is one of the most popular and well-played video games of this generation, and it earned developer CD Projekt Red legions of devoted fans, fans who now hang on their every word regarding their upcoming new game, Cyberpunk 2077. Nothing will be missing from the other versions of the game…except a few scanlines. Witcher 3 on Switch runs at 540p in handheld mode, and 720p with dynamic resolution enabled in docked mode. If you care about seeing characters’ nose hairs that much, you can skip this release, but the majority of people interested in this version are in it

E3 2019: SaGa Returns To North America With Two New Releases

E3 2019: SaGa Returns To North America With Two New Releases

One welcome surprise from Square this E3 has been their renewed focus on supporting their lesser, more cult-like properties. First we finally get Collection of Mana on Switch, and now the long-neglected SaGa series is returning Westside at last with the confirmed release of two titles — one new, one old. First comes Romancing SaGa 3, a game originally released in Japan in 1995. This remastered version contains the same deep story and detailed graphics, but adds a 16×9 aspect ratio, new scenarios, new dungeons to explore and a New Game+ feature when you finish all that. Best of all, it’s coming out for EVERYTHING, including Playstation 4, Nintendo Switch, XBox One, PS Vita (not a mistake), PC via Steam, iOS and Android. The second release is SaGa Scarlet Grace: Ambitions, an enhanced version of a game that came out exclusively in Japan in 2016. Like Romancing SaGa, it contains a number of improvements over the original, but you won’t notice since everything will be new here. Newcomers and longtime

Snapshot Games has been working on a new sci-fi strategy game from the creator of XCOM, called Phoenix Point. The game is nearly ready for release and debuted its big trailer today at E3. Forget how you played other strategy titles, because Phoenix Point reinvents the rules. You’re facing an army of alien attackers who not only adapt over time to your battle style, but evolve and transform, gaining resistance to your most effective attacks. In turn, YOU will have to evolve and advance your own battle strategies to stay one step ahead. “Phoenix Point is a new take on strategy and tactics,” says a statement from Snapshot. “Plan operations, research new technologies, and build alliances to unite the planet or destroy your rivals, then customize your squad and deploy into conflict zones around the globe with dynamic objectives and destructible environments.” The game also uses procedurally generated maps and branching story paths to keep each game different. You’ll be able to find Phoenix Point on the XBox One (it’s

Tion Industries, a development studio in Buenos Aires, revealed their planet-terraforming strategy sim Per Aspera today at E3. Mankind has talked before about making Mars habitable, but no one’s done it until you managed to guide the robotic AI machine AMI onto the red planet. She’s awaiting your orders to harvest water from within the planet and plant the seeds of life. AMI’s tech is based on real-life theoretical engineering that could someday make this happen. But wait a minute…what’s this? You’re NOT the first to terraform Mars. In fact, several parties have been here before you, and all of them failed…..but why? How do you learn what happened and avoid the same fate? And how come nobody back at Houston told you about this? Expect Per Aspera to touch down on a computer near you in 2020. Per Aspera is a planet simulation strategy game with a strong narrative component that tasks players to guide AMI, a superintelligent artificial consciousness, whose prime directive is to terraform Mars and make
