Hori’s Official Mario Kart Racing Wheel Is The Stuff Of Dreams.
Imagine using it to play Mario Kart Tour. Hori, known for their game accessories and peripherals, is making officially licensed Mario Kart racing wheels for the Nintendo Switch. There will be two different versions, one looking a bit more on the ‘casual and kiddy’ side, while the other one looks more geared towards hardcore racing sim fans. Maybe it’s just a coincidence, but this comes after the hot launch of Mario Kart Tour, which I’ve tried, but not extensively enough to give my thoughts on it yet. And don’t worry if you don’t have a Nintendo Switch because it’s apparently going to work on PC as well (not so sure about other consoles). Features also include: Joy-Con and Pro Controller functionality to play with other games. Remappable buttons. Adjusters for Deadzone (and “Reality”?), that serve to fine-tune steering. Only works in dock mode. Clamp and…
Call of Duty Modern Warfare Creates Its First Backlash With Exclusivity.
Well…that didn’t take long. Despite the positive reception that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, the series’ reboot, was accumulating thanks to a successful beta, Activision decided to chuck all of that goodwill out of the window with an exclusivity deal with Sony. (－‸ლ) Sony and Activision have announced that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare’s Survival mode is going to be exclusive to the PS4 for one whole year (until October 1st 2020). This is a mode that is part of the game’s Special Ops game mode. What this means is that Xbox and PC gamers are going to be missing out on content for an entire year, whereas Playstation players will have the benefit of playing the mode. Oh, but it gets better. Hang onto your seat belts. The Special Ops’ Survival mode seems to have been a feature that has been quite dormant for…
You Can Pre-Load ‘Destiny 2’ Right Now On Steam For Next Week.
Oof, but that file size though (￣ ￣|||). After game developer Bungie celebrated splitting ways with Activision, they were able to procure the Destiny IP and have now taken to essentially ‘re-publish’ the game on their own terms on the Steam PC gaming platform. This is something that was much needed after Destiny 2’s tumultuous post-launch with the whole XP throttling controversy back in 2017. Now going forward this means that those who were originally playing on the Battle.net game launcher, where Activision Blizzard’s top games reside, are going to be moving their game data over to Steam via the Bungie.net website. If you haven’t, you should read up on the whole process on Bungie’s website before the game launches next week on October 1st. Bungie has reassured to making the migration as easy as possible. I can confirm that it was pretty painless considering that I…
OMG! Mega Man Zero and ZX are getting a Legacy Collection!
Please give us Battle Network and Starforce next, Capcom! Capcom has announced that the spectacular MegaMan Zero series is getting a Legacy Collection, and it’s going to include all of the Megaman Zero and ZX games! *fangirl squeal* The Megaman Zero games were my first Megaman games alongside Battle Network! Features of the Legacy Collection include: You can play using the original pixel art or filters that make it looks like smudgy watercolour (lol). Thankfully there will be a toggle option. Gallery to browse artwork from the original games. Music Player to play the game’s music to your heart’s content. Dual Screen controls that were used on the DS are returning. Casual Scenario mode to make the intense difficulty of the original games much more bearable. Save Assist feature to help you save mid-level more often. A new mode called “ZChaser” which seems to let you…
