Nintendo announced that the SNES Classic will come with the previously-unreleased Star Fox 2. Were you surprised? Imagine how the game’s original programmer Dylan Cuthbert feels. He told Kotaku via email that he found out with everyone else when the news broke. “It made my day,” Cuthbert said. He certainly seems pleased Star Fox 2 is finally getting an official release, adding, “It’s bloody awesome!”

Nintendo has just unveiled the SNES Classic Edition- the follow up to the NES Classic, the SNES Classic is a diminutive version of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System with 21 games built-in, including The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Star Fox and Super Metroid. Just like the NES Classic, the SNES Classic will be compatible with modern televisions, plugging in via HDMI- it ships with a pair of SNES controllers, for multiplayer goodness right out of the box.

Our big interview with the men tasked with bringing Monster Hunter to the current-gen. If you’re a longtime Monster Hunter fan and came out of that Sony E3 keynote with a few worries about World, I have just the quote for you, straight from executive director Kaname Fujioka: “We're not taking things that people in the west hate and fixing them to make western players buy it. People sometimes make that assumption, or they've got that fear, but that's not the case at all.”

At E3 2017, Microsoft shared more details about its upcoming console, the Xbox One X. Although the firm announced all of the specifications and the price, there were still unanswered questions when it came to the resolution of some of its games. While we probably won't get a clear answer until the titles become available to the public in the winter, one member of Respawn Entertainment has chimed in on the experience with the Xbox One X.

Rockstar says that it's in contact with OpenIV's developer and intends to resolve the issue.

Forza Motorsport 7 is set to take up a whopping 100GB on Xbox One X, Turn 10 Studios has announced. The upcoming racing title is one of the few experiences set to run at a native 4K resolution on Microsoft’s new console.

New York Times best-selling author, and multi Eisner-award nominee Ian Edginton (2000AD., Batman), and artist Cam Adams (Fallout World) have been tapped as the creative team to bring the world of the hit-game franchise Killer Instinct to the pages of comics for the first time ever!

Since the days of the NES, people have accused Nintendo of intentionally underproducing hardware in order to drive an artificial feeding frenzy of demand in the marketplace. With the Nintendo Switch remaining nearly impossible to find at retailers nationwide, those same accusations of "false scarcity" have been bubbling up in certain corners.

Atari is making a new video game console, 40 years after the launch of the Video Computer System. CEO Fred Chesnais told GamesBeat: "We're back in the hardware business."

Chesnais said that Atari's revival is well under way and confirmed it would be based on PC technology.

EA and BioWare are planning on taking Anthem in a very Destiny-like direction, in more ways than one. During one of Microsoft’s many E3 Xbox Live livestreams, EA’s executive VP Patrick Soderlund provided some perspective into the future plans for the Anthem franchise. EA, much like Activision prior to the launch of Destiny, has a 10-year plan for the franchise which Anthem is set to launch come fall 2018.

In 2013, Undead Labs released State of Decay as an Xbox Live Arcade title on Xbox 360. Months later, the game debuted on PC via Steam giving even more players a chance to manage their communities in a post-apocalyptic world filled with zombies. Players took charge of a group of survivors and played as multiple characters recruiting new ones. They established a base and scavenged for goods. Now, State of Decay 2 is on the way with a release in spring 2018.

Looking through Steam game data for little-known but highly-rated games, seeing what can be found and how common it really is to have a great game that doesn't sell.

Hunt: Showdown is our sleeper hit of E3. When Crytek announced it in 2014, it looked like a pretty bog-standard Left 4 Dead clone. But at E3 it reemerged as one of the most visually stunning and conceptually engrossing games we’ve seen for a long time. Gone is the Left 4 Dead inspiration, instead Hunt: Showdown is like if Evolve, Stalker, and Resident Evil 7 had a big, demonic baby.

Horizon Zero Dawn is easily the biggest breakout game of 2017 thus far, and it’s unlikely to be topped by year’s end. As a new IP Horizon Zero Dawn was a bit overshadowed by other big titles prior to launch, but it’s been a very consistent seller for Sony over the past few months, moving nearly 3.5 million copies to date. Well, apparently, Sony and Guerilla Games are betting heavily on the fledgling franchise. In a recent interview with British newspaper The Telegraph...

XCOM is the signature game when it comes to turn-based combat on a grid. And 2K’s Firaxis Games just announced a new expansion, XCOM 2: War of the Chosen. But imagine the surprise of the Firaxis developers when they learned that Ubisoft was launching Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle as a turn-based combat game on a grid, only in a funny Mario-like universe. We asked Firaxis’ Jake Solomon, the creative director on XCOM 2: War of the Chosen, about what he thought about Mario coming to his kind of game.

Sony just trademarked Shadow of the Colossus. If they are remaking this, oh my god. Sony will win E3. Only two hours until Ubisoft’s conference, then a few hours after that we’ll find out if this is true.

Terry Crews is a playable character in Crackdown 3 because he asked to be, Sumo Digital has told Stevivor. “Terry Crews basically asked us, ‘can I be in the game?’ And we were like, ‘yeah, you can totally be in the game,'” Design Director Gareth Wilson said. “‘Cause the guy, he’s alive, he’s a living agent. He looks like an agent, which is crazy.”

Sony’s weighed in once again on the early success of the Nintendo Switch, stressing that it believes the increased presence in the space is a “good thing”.

One of the many significant stories to come out of E3 2017 undeniably is the rise of cross-play. For those hoping to play their favourite online games with friends on other systems, the future is looking bright. Microsoft and Nintendo are seemingly embracing the feature - with updates for games such as Rocket League and Minecraft being announced that will allow their respective Nintendo Switch and Xbox One versions to interact with each other.

Embark on this epic space adventure with us and journey to System 3, for the prequel to one of Ubisoft’s most beloved games!

During the Nintendo Spotlight today, Nintendo officially confirmed that Metroid Prime 4 is on the way. A short teaser shown during the conference revealed a “4” followed by the familiar Metroid Prime theme and logo, but no other information aside from a promise that the game is “now in development for Nintendo Switch.”

While Microsoft is actively encouraging cross-platform online play, Sony is actively avoiding it. This all stems from a couple of pretty big E3 2017 announcements by Microsoft and Nintendo. Minecraft, one of the biggest and most widely available games on the planet, is going cross-platform, finally unifying all the individual versions in one glorious block. Xbox, PC, mobile, Nintendo Switch, all will be able to play along together as one big happy family.

Imagine for a moment that the infamous Mighty No.9 had met fans’ high expectations instead of having tons of game-breaking bugs and lag issues. Now take that visualization of success and meld it with #ShovelKnight’s 8-bit-inspired graphics, the fundamental mechanics of the Mega Man series, and the item customization options found in the average sandbox game like Terraria.

Gaming’s biggest week each year has always been when the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) hits Los Angeles in June. It’s a time when new games are revealed and when the console wars reach critical mass. It’s also when fans and media love to determine winners and losers based on who they believe had the biggest and best gaming announcements.

It’s the one Uncharted game many never got to experience - the one that got away - but according to Naughty Dog, a PS4 remake isn’t entirely out of the question.

Sony Interactive Entertainment revealed Shadow of the Colossus for PlayStation 4 during their E3 2017 press conference earlier this week, but there’s been some confusion about whether it’s a remake or remaster.

The biggest update to Pokémon GO is nearly here! Very soon, Trainers around the world will be able to participate in a revamped Gym gameplay experience, including the opportunity to join together with others to battle against powerful Pokémon in the new Raid Battle feature!

Unlike the original game, Destiny 2 is coming to PC. We’ve played it on PC in all its 4K glory, and the PC port of Destiny 2 is a thing of beauty. It’s a smoother experience on PC than on console (courtesy of 60fps on 4K screens, with the option for unlocked frame-rates on non-4K screens), and for PC aficionados, pulling off headshots is a breeze thanks to mouse aiming.

There’s a mainline Pokémon role-playing game in development for Nintendo Switch right now. The Pokémon Company’s president and CEO Tsunekazu Ishihara revealed that the system will receive a main entry in the series during Nintendo’s E3 2017 Direct presentation.
