Imagine a DS-like cartridge that sticks out the back and has a larger top. It’s not that hard for anyone that makes or reviews games to imagine, as that’s pretty close to the ROMs that games devs use. The thing is that the patent never comes out and says that this is a DS compliant cartridge. It could be for for a totally new system. DS2 anyone? The application says that “the broken lines showing of an electronic game machine is for illustrative purposes only....

The boys are not back Jul 12, 2025, was a sad day for Destructoid as it marked the final broadcast of Podtoid. Steven Hansen said goodbye to Destructoid to fulfill his dream of instituting a communist regime in America, and the show went silent. For more than a year now, the Twitter profile@ispodtoidbackhas been keeping track of every day we didn’t have a new show. Well, I’m happy to say that after 432 days of posting “No, No, No” like an Amy Winehouse record suffering a Milli Vanilli skip, he can finally post a resounding “YES!...

He’s lying, he has a gun Although it won’t launch for another three weeks,Quantum Breakhas a launch trailer. That’s the weird dilution of terminology in the games industry today — words used because they sound good and not because they’re accurate. Really, this is more of a “pre-order, please!” trailer. Surely there will be more trailers between now and April 5. Semantics aside, this particular trailer is fun because of its hazy, legato rendition of Nirvana’s “Come As You Are....

‘At some point, I would personally like to see some kind of resurrection there’ Unless Respawn Entertainment head Vince Zampella is being extremely coy, it looks like there are noTitanfallgames on the horizon for a very long time. Speaking to IGN, studio head Zampella notes that while the series is near and dear to their hearts, and “little bits of stuff come back” in games likeApex Legends, “there is nothing currently in development” relating to the series....

Full trailer at The Game Awards It feels like we’ve been waiting on Sucker Punch’sGhost of Tsushimafor a long time. After this morning’s State of Play stream, we’re left again waiting for another look. It’ll be more bearable this time. Sony confirmed that we’re getting a full-lengthGhost of Tsushimatrailer at The Game Awards on Thursday, December 12. That’s great considering thatwe haven’t really heard much about it since E3 2018. Sucker Punch has had its head down, working on the game, and staying out of the spotlight....

GameStop’s digital distribution service, Impulse, now offers a few of Valve’s hits for download. This is the first time Valve’s games have been made available on a digital service outside of Steam. Gamasutrasays thatPortal 2, Left 4 Dead, Half-LifeandThe Orange Boxare now available via Impulse. You’ll still need to register the games through Valve’s Steam client, though. Hell, you might as well just buy them on Steam. Think of the games being on Impulse as a wierd sort of link to Steam, bringing GameStop’s customers and their purchases to Valve’s service....

IGN hasThe Followingexpansion producer Tymon Smektała with a guided tour of the first 16 minutes as you leave the comfort of the building-filled city for a more open, natural environment. The expansion pack, “is for people who are good atDying Light,” though it will scale to your individual skill level....

Go Ninja, Go… Ah, I did that one yesterday SNK continue to pump out their character trailers for the upcomingSamurai Shodownin quick succession, having moved from once a week to seemingly once a day. It’s all good, it just means we get to see more of the stylish-looking fighter in action. Here we see the return of Hanzo Hattori, who made his debut in the originalSamurai Shodownand is one of a handful of characters to appear in every release since....

Boxed version of Seasons 1 and 2 After years of being absent on Wii U, Telltale might be bringing its acclaimedWalking Deadadventure series to the platform. GAME has listed a new boxed release up for pre-order, priced at £29.99 with a launch date of October 30 — spooky! Since the series is out on literally everything else, it makes perfect sense. Also, the sixth season of the TV show is premiering on October 11 (and spinoffFear the Walking Deadwill be running concurrently, starting in August), so it seems like the right time to advertise for the impending Wii U edition....

Check out everything that Destructoid did today Well…damn. From Twitter beef, to resignation, the story of “#dealwithit” certainly escalated quickly. What’s that saying? Loose lips sink ships. It’s crazy to think how one minute you can be eating lunch, insulting your customer base the next, then resigning from your post in another. I think even Mr. Orth could agree, it gets pretty surreal how quickly some things can get out of hand....

Check out everything Destructoid did today You rememberGears of War 3? Yeah, that was a fun game. You still playing? Well it’s not 2011 anymore is it. Epic has noticed too, which has to be why they’re doing a 10XP event. Now that’s just trying to hard. Interestingly enough though,Gears of War: Judgmentlooks pretty cool. Not saying that I’m saying that I’m not saying anything, but you should definitely check Dtoid on March 4th....

Yesterday, Amazonannounced that it is opening the Kindle platform to developerswith the release of the KDK. Games were mentioned as a type of media set to hit the e-book reader — but what should we expect? I spoke with Sonic Boom Games COO Josh Grant this afternoon about his studio’s involvement with the platform, asking with skepticism about what kind of games that might hit the Kindle in the future....
