The Pikmin franchise is easily one of the more “curious” entries in the Nintendo library. The series was brought to life thanks partly to legend Shigeru Miyamoto and had two entries on the Nintendo Gamecube. It was so popular in certain circles that its main character, Captain Olimar, was put into Super Smash Bros. It eventually got a third game on the Wii U. Heck, it even got a smaller game on the Nintendo 3DS! But despite that, the franchise has never been what you would call a “blockbuster success.” That is, not until the fourth game came out on the Switch.
Insider Teases Alternate History The Walking Dead Game
17.08.2023 - 10:23 / thegamer.com / Rick Grimes
Last year, a Reddit user noticed a filing at the United States Patent and Trademark Office called "The Walking Dead: Destinies", described as a "downloadable PC video game". Little else was revealed about what this Walking Dead game would entail, but a report has surfaced claiming it is an alternate history retelling of the first four seasons of the AMC show.
Dealabs Magazine claims that it's a third-person action-adventure title releasing on Xbox One, Series X/S, PlayStation 4, PS5, Steam, and Nintendo Switch, on November 14. It's also being published by Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl publisher GameMill Entertainment, known for the Cobra Kai tie-in and Nick Kart Racers.

In The Walking Dead: Destinies, you will reportedly play Rick Grimes, starting by waking up from his coma. With it spanning across the first four seasons, we'll be able to visit Atlanta, the Greene farm, the prison, and Woodbury, meaning we'll run into villains like The Governor. The alternate history aspect comes as a result of your actions, as Dealabs claims that you'll be able to control how the story unfolds, whether that's saving the villain or killing off characters who otherwise survived in the series.
Dealabs also claims to have dug out 15 characters that we'll meet throughout the game; Rick, Shane, Michonne, Daryl, Merle, Carol, Carl, Lori, Glenn, The Governor, and T-Dog. This list also confirms that it is a retelling of the show and not the comics, as Daryl, Merle, and T-Dog are original characters made for the series.
That means we'll spend more time on the farm, which was a much briefer storyline in the comics, find out about the infection at the CDC, and hopefully keep our hand after meeting The Governor.
While much of The Walking Dead: Destinies is allegedly action-driven, as you fight hordes of walkers with weapons like revolvers, shotguns, and katanas, there is also a strategy aspect as you'll have to find resources and build up your camp to survive the cruel conditions of its apocalyptic wasteland. A far cry from the gameplay loop of Telltale's The Walking Dead, and more story driven than the VR games.
If this report pans out, we won't have to wait long to get our hands on this new Walking Dead game, as it's also alleged that it will be announced at Gamescom next Tuesday.

Born of Bread Demo Brings Light-Hearted Paper Mario-Inspired Thrilled to Steam - Hardcore Gamer
There have been a few Paper Mario clones on the market, but none of them have quite nailed the combat flow of the fist two entries. Bug Fables came the closest of matching the tone and art style, with the combat coming pretty close as well. One thing that hurt it though was the all-bug cast and that making it a little harder to get into the story and the attempted drama.

Red Dead Redemption’s New PS4 and Nintendo Switch Ports Feature Minor Resolution Bumps Despite $50 Price
Red Dead Redemption is out now on the PS4 and Nintendo Switch and unsurprisingly, it is a barebones upgrade to the revered Western odyssey. During the initial announcement, Rockstar Games never revealed any technical specifications, simply calling it a ‘conversion' that didn't mention anything about visual improvements or support for 60fps. That seems to be the case, judging by the new press release — dropped launch day — which states that regardless of the platform, the game is locked to 30fps. The new bit of information, however, is that the port from Double Eleven Studios runs at 1080p resolution on the Nintendo Switch and PS4, going up to 4K resolution on the PS4 Pro and PS5 (playable via backward compatibility).
