Diablo III is coming to the Nintendo Switch! Gita and I talk about it on today’s episode of Kotaku XP, our weekly discussion of video game topics and trends.

I have 34 games downloaded onto my Nintendo Switch which do not require the player to ever use either analog stick.

I’ve been playing Final Fantasy VII in Japanese and English at the same. I have been making videos chronicling my discovery of tiny differences between the scripts. This is the penultimate episode of my series.

Adidas makes some Dragon Ball shoeZ, No Man’s Sky has more mans than ever, a celebrity musician confused the audience at a video game-related event, Elon Musk loves BioShock, and an investor makes a weird, expensive bet against Nintendo on this episode of Kotaku XP, our weekly discussion of zesty game topics.

I’ve played a total of about 12 minutes of No Man’s Sky. Gita Jackson has played many hours of it. I’ve been following Kotaku’s coverage of the No Man’s Sky Next update this week, and it’s got me wondering if now is the perfect time to get into the game. On this week’s episode of Kotaku XP, I asked Gita to convince me…

It’s Kotaku XP, our weekly discussion of hot game topics! This week we talk about the Game Developers of Color Expo in New York, the film Sorry to Bother You, Chance The Rapper’s opinions on Fortnite dances, the wild Sailor Moon story Kotaku did this week, and Nathan Fillion’s fan-made Uncharted movie.

Tim Rogers and Gita Jackson had a chance to see Sorry To Bother You, a movie so creative and wild watching feels like being transported briefly to new but familiar universe. We sat down to dissect every bit of this potent and hilarious movie. Spoilers abound.

Fortnite gets golf carts and portals, a No Man’s Sky dictator says he’s actually role-playing, the popular Chapo Trap House podcast starts a Twitch channel to get political about games, and Octopath Traveler is here. It’s all on today’s Kotaku XP, our weekly video series about hot game topics.

Octopath Traveler is a Japanese role-playing game with eight playable characters. Its battle system is wildly deep. In this video, I spend 13 minutes walking you through a two-minute battle.

Sometimes I’ll remember a game series that disappeared into the ether that used to be a huge part of my life. With so many remasters and ports popping up, it got me thinking about those games that I would love to see make a comeback.

Batterystaple Games and Fire Hose Games must agree with me that Mega Man X is the best Mega Man game, because their 20xx is an obvious tribute. 20XX perfectly recreates the feeling of Mega Man X, and generously adds all the procedural elements (scheduled challenges, permadeath, a progression system, loot) that players…

Hackers have cracked the Nintendo Switch all the way open, Bethesda sues the Westworld game developers, and Overwatch gets infested with rodents—in a good way! All these topics and more on this episode of Kotaku XP, our weekly video about hot game stuff.

Two days ago I talked to Edmund and Danielle McMillen over Skype about their Binding of Isaac Card Game. The Kickstarter hadn’t gone live yet. Edmund was uncertain that the Kickstarter would get funded. He talked about internet forum posters who were aggressively saying “no thanks” to the very idea of a board game,…

Gripping and poking the yet-unreleased ultra-fancy $200 Scuf Gaming Vantage controller for PlayStation 4 was my most anticipated experience of E3 2018. Of course I recorded it all on video. Watch this video for an interview with Scuf Gaming CEO and founder Duncan Ironmonger. Also watch this video for a sequence in…

Will Nintendo ever release a 3D platform game starring Isabelle from Animal Crossing? How tall is Isabelle? Will someone please make a film in which Isabelle is 500 feet tall and King Kong dies when he looks at her? Will Square Enix announce a release date for the Final Fantasy VII remake? All these E3 2019…

Killer Queen is one of the best games I have ever played. It’s a five-on-five electronic sport that happens on one screen and encourages deep communication and coordination. It can instantly turn anyone into an e-athlete. You can be easily forgiven, however, for not having played it: until Killer Queen Black arrives…

Bethesda Softworks is named after the city in Maryland. Tim Rogers has been to that city, so it only makes sense that we sent him to the Bethesda booth at E3 2018. There was demons, carnival games, and a lot of VR.

You’re probably not at E3 but fret not. Tim checked out everything that Bethesda was rocking on the show…

Will Square-Enix announce they’ve renamed the Final Fantasy VII remake Final Fantasy XVII? Will Isabelle from Animal Crossing appear in the new Smash for the Nintendo Switch? Is Death Stranding going to have a battle royale mode called “Last Man Stranding”? All these idiotic questions and more will be yelled,…

Onrush is a new online team-based tactical arcade action racing game. Think of it as Overwatch with cars. It’s by a new studio at Codemasters, made up of developers who worked on Driveclub and Motorstorm, so maybe a better name would be Motorwatch. If you want more lines like that, please watch my video.
