Every week, I am reminded that there’s another week ahead. Here’s the news for that.
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remastered Edition
Professor Layton and the Curious Village for iOS
New Kingdom Hearts 3 Trailers Reveals Big Hero Six
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles
According to a tweet by the official Final Fantasy Twitter account, the popular RPG spin-off for Nintendo GameCube will be coming to Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 as a remastered edition. A short video in the tweet shows off some of the upgraded graphics. Little else about the Remastered Edition is known at this time.
Professor Layton and the Curious Village for iOS
The official iOS App Store Twitter account recently announced that Professor Layton and the Curious Village will be coming to iOS. That’s all they said, however. We will have to “stay tuned for more info.”
Big Hero Six in Kingdom Hearts III
A new trailer for the upcoming Disney RPG was released from the Tokyo Game Show 2018. In it, we see the protagonists of Big Hero Six join up with Sora and co. in the setting of San Fransokyo. So that’s cool.
That’s all for today, folks. Tune in tomorrow for even more news and such. I’m sure there will be plenty of it. Otherwise, have a great day!
So I definitely said yesterday was Thursday. Totally was a Monday, My bad. Here’s the news.
Castlevania for iOS
He-man in Injustice
Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls
Konami still makes games, apparently. The publisher has recently announced a new mobile game, called Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls. The game is a multiplayer-focused iOS title, where players can work cooperatively to take down bosses, or competitively in a 4v4 mode. No word on when it’ll release, but Japan has a closed beta coming soon.
He-Man
Some of you may know that Injustice, the DC superhero fighting game, is based on a comic book series of a similar story. In recent news, classic character He-Man will be joining the Injustice universe. Injustice vs. He-Man and the Masters of the Universe is a new comic releasing July 18. Perhaps this means He-Man will join the video game roster, as well.
Not much news today, but that’s alright. There’s always the future. Check back tomorrow for more news. Otherwise, have a great day!
Thursday.
That’s it. I tried to think of a funny quip, came up with nothing. Here’s the news!
Apple Changes iOS Guidelines for Lootboxes
Stardew Valley Dev Lists Upcoming Changes
Psychonauts 2 is Delayed
Apple Guidelines
In a recent change to the iOS guidelines, app developers are required to display the odds of loot boxes if they are purchasable with microtransactions. Odds are this is to comply with Chinese regulations, something Valve and many other developers have had to conform to in order to have their games in China. The downside to this is that it only pertains to direct purchase loot boxes, so any randomized crate like items purchased via premium currency are not required to follow this rule.
Stardew Valley Updates
Developer ConcernedApe recently tweeted out some details about what to expect with the upcoming update to Stardew Valley. They are as follows:
some things I've added for the new content update: *new "town event" in winter *new type of collection that you can start in your first winter *Signs (can display any item on them) *More outdoor decorations (some change w/ season) *More NPC "events" *A way to re-spec professions
The game has been received warmly on the Switch, but regardless what you’re playing on, expect these changes soon.
Psychonauts 2 Delay
Double Fine Productions announced in a backer update post that the scope of the game has exceeded what previously expected and that the game will not be ready by 2018. They don’t have a solid release timeframe, but we know it isn’t next year. In the same update, they detail some of the protagonist’s family. You can see all of this here.
Thanks for reading, everyone! It makes me happy that I can write about the things I’m passionate about, and I’m glad that you all can share in that with me. Be sure to check back tomorrow for the last post of the week. Odds are there won’t be a post Monday since its Christmas. I might, if I have time. Otherwise, Have a great night!
Its Wednesday and boy are my arms tired. Here’s the news:
Frank Ocean is a GTA: Online DJ
Predator is in Ghost Recon: Wildlands
Fez in on iOS
Grand Theft Ocean
Grand Theft Auto: Online has a new update called “Doomsday Heist” that features a number of weirdly high tech items. But this news post isn’t about that, it’s about the new radio station that will also be coming with this update. Blonded Los Santos 97.8 FM is a new radio station heavily inspired by Frank Oceans most recent album, Blonde. And it better be! The DJ of this new station is Frank Ocean himself! Be sure to check out the station full of new tunes when you can
Ghost Recon: Predator
A new event is coming for Ghost Recon: Wildlands. Starting on December 14 and going until early January, players can participate in the hunt for the most dangerous game, Predator. The classic movie antagonist has become your newest target. This event will also include new content for you to enjoy, such as a wrist blade, a Predator helmet, and a new PVP class inspired by everyone’s favorite muscle man. Be sure to check it out tomorrow. Until then, you can watch the announcement trailer for the event here.
Fez on iOS
Remember that neat puzzle platformer from 2013? At long last, it has been ported to iOS. This isn’t the most surprising news, as the port was teased earlier this year. The game was made by Phil Fish, which some may remember as the guy who got into a heated argument with a journalist that prompted him to cancel the Fez sequel and retire from development. Either way, you can now get Fez on iOS for $4.99.
That’s all the news for today, be sure to check back tomorrow for the latest and greatest in gaming news. Otherwise, have a great night!
Monday marks the dawn of a new week, and with a new week comes new news. Overall its a generally positive weekend in the world of gaming. here’s what we have:
Desert Bus for Hope is back.
CD Projekt Red remarks on the industry.
Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp release date
Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition trailer taunts V-Triggers.
Desert Bus for Hope
Desert Bus is Back for its 10th charity drive! For those who don’t know: The Desert Bus for Hope is a charity event where a group of people plays the desert bus mini-game from an old Sega CD game by Penn & Teller. This game has you drive a bus for 8 hours on a straight road in the desert. when these people reach a donation goal, the longer they have to play this incredibly boring game. This is a wonderful cause, raising money for Child’s Play, a charity about bringing toys and games to children’s hospitals. They’ve been living streaming the event for about 48 hours so far, and still have 144 hours to go. You can check out the live stream of the event, which will include more details, at their twitch page.
CD Projekt Red Throwing Shade
With all the recent drama about loot boxes and video games “as a service” going around, some concern has spread to the studio being the Witcher game series. Their CEO in an interview remarked on how to better commercialize future games, and many took this to mean they will be implementing microtransactions. When a popular youtube page posted on twitter expressing this concern, CD Projekt Red responded with a statement that reassured peoples doubts, while also taking a jab at the studios that do use microtransactions. The response can be seen below.
.@PrettyBadTweets Worry not. When thinking CP2077, think nothing less than TW3 — huge single player, open world, story-driven RPG. No hidden catch, you get what you pay for — no bullshit, just honest gaming like with Wild Hunt. We leave greed to others.
Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Release Date
Nintendo has been entering the mobile game market. With a powerful arsenal of big name (and child-friendly) titles behind them, there is a lot of potential for them in this field. Animal Crossing: Pocket camp is their mobile take on the Animal Crossing series. For the last month, the game has been on a soft launch in Australia only, with the promise of a worldwide release in “late November.” This morning Nintendo of America announced via twitter when that release date is. This Wednesday. That’s right, 2 days from now on the day before Thanksgiving, the game will release on mobile stores worldwide. That’s one thing I know I’m thankful for.
Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition Trailer
Capcom recently released a new trailer showing off the V-Triggers that are due to appear in Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition, the updated and complete version of the latest Street Fighter game. At first glance, it looks like stuff we already knew, but the implications behind it are far more important. With these new V-Triggers will come new combo and mixup options for many (if not all) characters. A change to the game of this degree will have an equally large impact on the competitive Street Fighter scene. See the trailer for yourself below.
That’s all for the weekend. Thanks for reading, everyone! Be sure to check back tomorrow for the latest and greatest in video game news. I also have a new longform coming soon, stay tuned. Otherwise, have a great night!
