She already has two figures and multiple cards! While the amiibo train has mostly been a smooth ride these past few years, there are always exceptions: like this week, for instance. The next wave (due on July 26) forSuper Smash Bros. Ultimateis now on sale, but there’s a snag. A veryAnimal Crossingrelated snag, for once, given how little these sell overall.

All the better to stab you with Or slice, crush, pierce, and generally murder.Assassin’s Creed III’sConnor appears to be even less subtle than his ancestors and not exactly what I would consider assassin material. He seems to make it work, however, so more power to him. Guns, bows, swords, axes, daggers, and rope — it’s quite the arsenal. I can’t wait to try and hang an entire army. We’ll all be able to do so come October 30 on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, and on November 20 on PC....

It will be a PlayStation 4 timed-exclusive, and as such, it might be the guinea pig for some new technology on the Sony platform. Blow took toThe Witness’website recently to post acouple of teaser imagesunder the caption “What could it mean?...

Let me show you WhenDeception: The Nightmare Princesswas announced, a wave of confusion crept up on everyDeception IVowner. Is it DLC? Is an an expansion? Well, it’s a weird combo!

Right now,Nightmare Princessis being released on PS3, PS4, and Vita in the west, but only the PS4 edition will be physical — it will retail for $50....
It’s more tolerable in this context, though Driveclubwill most likely be remembered for its promised, yet non-existent freePlayStation Plus version. The primary reason this never came to fruition is because Evolution Studios had to spend a significant amount of time post-launch fixing bugs and resolving server issues. To say thatDriveclub‘s release went less than smooth would be a massive understatement. So, it’d be understandable if Evolution and Sony wanted nothing to do with the term “buggy....

Five minutes of heaven Ace Combathas a long, storied history of in-depth plotlines andAce Combat 7looks to continue that. Bandai Namco has uploaded the opening cinematic for the latest entry and it could basically double as a short film.

As a reminder,Ace Combat 7will be releasing on January 18 for PS4 and Xbox One and February 1 for PC....
Smack monsters with a guitar in a beautifully strange world I sometimes wonder where I’d be if I had channeled my passions and energy into something more productive as a teenager.
