My heart aches for my former IGN colleagues. Even while I was still there, we were already desperately understaffed.

Why must employees always pay for management’s costly mistakes? When will it sink in that human beings are required for the integrity and success of this work?

Dude made a “demo” of a game that was an AI generated video of a car in an obvious Cyberpunk 2077 setting. These people are less than useless.

I didn't want to cross wires and try the Shinobi demo while playing Ragebound.

This game is flipping gorgeous in motion/in person, holy cow wowzers wow.

Reckon this game is gonna be incredible, too. Can't wait for full release.

since everyone's sharing old kotaku blogs they like, here's one i had a lot of fun with. i'm still so grateful this guy put up with my nonsense.

Played the new Shinobi and it is absolute fucking peak but there is no native Switch 2 version and the Switch version looks crispy as hell in handheld mode. It runs flawlessly but the image quality is not good. The developers probably don't have dev kits yet but I hope they do one. Game is GOOD.

tears of the kingdom: just what was zelda doing in the past?
nintendo: absolutely nothing. like it will shock you how much nothing she was up to
omega force: she was killing one million guys

I’d do anything for a Rambi plush like this

Embarrassing.

I wanted to buy Ninja Gaiden Ragebound on Switch but that 30 FPS cap and no official Switch 2 version is so frustrating

Nintendo really dropped the ball in making dev kits accessible - means I'm likely gonna be buying games like this on PC/Steam Deck for the foreseeable future

I'm not sure what you're looking for here. I can tell you more about Doom if you want but I don't understand your question. The scene is pretty straightforward. Here's just examining Franklin?

Loved talking about the phenomenal DK Bananza in such great depth and we ended it whilst ringing in my birthday too. Couldn’t think of a better way to start a birthday tbh

I wonder if RDJ just looks at the pretty pictures or if he actually reads these and if he does, how does he reconcile with whitewashing a character whose ethnicity is such a prominent aspect of his backstory that they reiterate it in almost every storyline he’s in?

Go on any shuggy boats for your birthday?

Nintendo has cut up the Direct into little pieces and is mailing them to us bit by bit until the leaks stop.

Congrats. I hope they make you feel as fucking awesome as they make me feel.

Yes.

Quite the opposite

I had a good time with Fantastic Four. I thought they got the characters down pretty excellently, in fact. I was happy with it. And then I saw the mid credits scene.

At last, we can see all the Nintendo Switch 2 software in a singular place. They added this to all versions of the Switch 2 eShop!

Most experts acknowledge that a takeover by artificial intelligence is coming for the video game industry within the next five years, and executives have already started preparing to restructure their companies in anticipation. After all, it was one of the first sectors to deploy A.I. programming in the 1980s, with the four ghosts who chase Pac-Man each responding differently to the player's real-time movements.

This is an insane thing to write about game development. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/28/a...

YouTube video by Jakstalgia What Happened to Wario Land? (And Nintendo R&D1?)

NEW VIDEO: The Wario Land franchise was a key aspect to Nintendo’s success during the 90s. But nowadays Wario’s become just another part of the Mario cast. What exactly happened to Wario Land and the historic team behind these games?
