The wall jump in Super Metroid is NOT broken and it’s not “too hard.” For proof, see all the many YouTube videos explaining as much

Its kinda funny really seeing how the whole internet vibe around Switch 2 right now has shifted from "This system is overpriced and has no games!" to "Hold up let Nintendo cook."

Nintendo needs to calm tf down

Parody of the Metroid Ravenous key art with alternative text for the title. Instead of “Metroid” it says, “I’m buying $100 in Nintendo gift cards from Costco every week.” Instead of “Ravenous” it says, “I don’t know how long I can keep this up before my wife notices”

IGN gets a lot of extremely rightful flack for being really homogenous. Many of its shows are consistently just rows of cis white men. There was a brief period of time, blessedly crossing over with my tenure, when that started to slowly change. (1/x)

There are so many modifiers you can get to apply to your moves if you play it right, and it’s really satisfying to pull off a move that has 4-5 different conditions that each increase damage by 25-50%

Turn-based RPG sickos should not sleep on People of Note. Not only does it have endearing music and humor, but the battle system has a surprising amount of depth.

SquidKell @squidkell.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

Not necessarily. This is the Bluesky "nuclear block," which hides the person's identity in every interaction between them and the person they blocked. It's one of the features intended to make it less toxic than certain alternatives

Capcom is on a generational run. But this is no renaissance: the company has never been greater. I reported on the secret of its success, from "Crapcom" in the early 2010s to its one-banger-after-another present, speaking to many of its most illustrious producers. www.theringer.com/2026/09/03/v...

How Capcom Cracked the Code of Game Development

The video game industry is in turmoil, but 2026 could be Capcom’s career year. How does the company behind ‘Resident Evil Requiem,’ ‘Pragmata,’ and ‘Onimusha: Way of the Sword’ keep pumping out hits?

Folks. I've found it. The worst video game magazine ad. (from a newly scanned back issue of PC Gamer: archive.gamehistory.org/item/2be3617...)

An ad for an ATI graphics card. There's a man playing something on a computer with a flight stick. Light is shooting out of the computer, and he's recoiling in terror or excitement, holding up his hand to block his view and screaming. Is he playing a flight simulator? A first-person shooter? No. Instead, out of the computer emerges Lara Croft's boobs. Just her breasts and torso, with a gun, boobily sticking through the monitor. The title of the ad is "Lara looks better Flat," because it's an ad for a graphics card compatible with flat-panel monitors. Is this man afraid Lara's going to poke his eyes out and therefore needs a shittier monitor? It is unclear what is happening here and why.

"No reasonable consumer thinks they own a digital game when they go to the PlayStation STORE, select BUY GAMES, put one in a SHOPPING CART, press PURCHASE and get an email that confirms the TRANSACTION with a RECEIPT listing the GAME," disingenuously argued Sony, pretending it's monumentally stupid.

oh hey, my first IGN review! Orbitals is a game that emulates its contemporaries but never rises above its inspirations in meaningful ways. An endearing romp that pulled out dormant nostalgia for the Toonami era and memories of watching anime I didn't understand as a kid in my parent's basement
