Sorry Aiden Pearce, actually ‘iconic’ I will never forget that Ubisoft once called an article of clothing from Aiden Pearce, the alright hacker dude from the firstWatch Dogs“iconic.” It was a complete obliteration of the phrase, but I think we can all agree that Bill Farmer and Tony Anselmo, who have voiced Disney’s Goofy and Donald Duck for decades, are actually iconic. The duo recently caught up with D23 (the official Disney fan club) to share their thoughts on the series and what it’s like to play the characters in a completely different setting....

Double Dragon I really wanted to do a Memory Card on my favoritetwo-playervideogame moment and, immediately, the originalContracame to mind. More specifically, the memory of playing with a friend as we constantly (and unwittingly?) killed each other on the vertically scrolling Waterfall stage. Even though it was frustrating as hell, it will always remain unforgettable. But the more I thought about it, the more I started to focus my attention on classic arcade gameDouble Dragon....

Almost old enough to drive The Wii has always meant a lot to me. WhenI first started here at Destructoid in 2008, I quickly fell into the role of “Wii Guy,” a position almost no one else here wanted to take. Even when the system was brand new 15 years ago, the Wii was like an awkward teenager that the cool kidsweren’t sure they wanted to hang out with. It was the Michael Cera of game consoles, a “nice boy” that was more interested in hanging out with grandma or babysitting its younger siblings than vaping in the bathroom or “pwning noobs” online....

A couple of new screenshots At first, I felt bad for holding off on playingThe Wolf Among Usuntil the first season was finished. It’s required some serious restraint, but seeing how long it’s taking Telltale to put out the next chapter has me feeling okay about my decision. In a progress update, the studio wrote that episode two,Smoke & Mirrors, is close to being completed. “We wanted to thank everyone for playing the first chapter inThe Wolf Among Us, and ask for your patience as the team works very hard this month to finalize what is shaping up to be another episode full of surprises....

‘When I hear video games, I always think of Final Fantasy’ If you’re intoFinal Fantasyat all, you’ll likely be well acquainted with the ethereal artwork of Yoshitaka Amano.Final Fantasy VIwas my introduction to the series, and I was obsessed with the character sketches in the game’s manual, often flipping through just to look at them. Years later, I discovered theVampire Hunter Dbooks when their cover illustrations caught my eye. I recognized them right away as Amano’s distinct style....

It’s more than just memes Welcome back! I’m loving these mysterious puzzle games that we’ve been playing —Detroit: Become Humanwas so heart-wrenching at points that I almost wanted to go back today to try to fix my bad endings. But, there’s time for that later! Tonight on our Twitch stream, we’ll be exploringL.A. Noire,an iconic experiencethat brought us many memes and inspired other games after it. As usual, I haven’t played this one so I hope to keep spoilers to a minimum, but I’m very happy to be catching up on it now!...

He servers Blakharaz, the Arch Demon of Revenge. He sports two blades and a whip....

Say that three times fast Pokemon Sword and Shieldis just coming out of the gate, but is doing insanely well sales-wise. Game Freak is looking to keep that momentum going with regular updates, which, as we now know, includes regular raid events with extra forms. We already got Butterfree in the mix, now we’re getting the wacky “there’s a wold on its belly” Gigantamax Snorlax. Man that’s a lovely phrase to attempt to say quickly....
