It would appear that Justin Roiland — co-creator of Rick and Morty and well known Nintendo super fan can now also add “Nintendo Whisperer” to his long list of accomplishments.

TwitterFacebook

Justin Roiland, the brain behind Rick and Morty and the recently announced Trover Saves the Universe, is glad that we know how big Luigi’s penis is.

During a discussion with Roiland about Trover Saves the Universe during E3, the conversation changed topics to the recent influx of information about Nintendo characters’ anatomy – namely the reveal of Mario’s nipples, a look into Luigi’s bulge, and a recent reminder that Mario’s penis was revealed decades ago.

Roiland, who was surprised to hear all of this despite being a well-known Nintendo fan, is here for all of it.

“I think it’s hilarious,” he said.  Read more…

Feast your eyes on these uniquely beautiful indie games from E3

The AAA games on display at E3 this year have, as usual, an amazing array of beautiful, nearly photorealistic graphics — and while they’re amazing in their own way, I always find it fun to highlight a few games that take a totally different approach to their art.

In ‘Forsaken,’ Bungie is taking care to put ‘Destiny 2’ fans first

TwitterFacebook

It’s not that Destiny 2 is broken. But it does need some fixing.

As many have observed, Bungie repeated a bunch of mistakes over the past year that first cropped up — and were eventually corrected — in the original game. As a result, many fans have come to feel that the sequel is a step back. But Forsaken, the upcoming Sept. 2018 expansion, is meant to right the ship.

Bungie has heard your complaints and absorbed your feedback. The studio’s leadership recognizes that it’s not just a matter of monitoring the subreddit and other social channels; engaging with people directly, absent the ambient noise of the internet, can be far more valuable. Read more…

TwitterFacebook

E3 2018 is in full swing, and, as expected, all’s quiet on the hardware front — but the future has been teased with one word: streaming.

Streaming not in the Twitch sense, where you watch someone play a video game for fun, but rather an à la carte style of selecting a game and being able to play it in seconds without waiting for lengthy downloads or installs.

It’s a great idea, but even with streaming, you’ll still need something to play the game on, and streamed games won’t signal the end for consolesMicrosoft announced at E3 that it’s officially working on the next Xbox (codenamed “Scarlett”), and PlayStation will likely follow suit with another console, so that war is far from over. The difference is that the next generation of consoles will be designed for streaming from the start. Read more…

This AR guppy feeds on the spectrum of human emotion

Indiecade always offers a nice respite from the wall of undulating human flesh and heat that is the rest of the E3 show floor. The loose confederation of independent developers often produces compelling and bizarre gaming experiences outside of the big studio system. TendAR is the most compelling example of this out of this year’s […]
