RollerCoaster Tycoon Adventures Deluxe Hits Consoles - Hardcore Gamer

Most life has evolved to live on the surface of the Earth, with even the aerial creatures needing to land sometime while the marine life swims in the water covering the sand below.  There’s enough space for everyone but that’s also a bit of a problem, in that all there is is space.  Under the surface, though, is buried wealth beyond all imagining, from minerals and ores to rare gems, enough to make a stoic dwarf’s eyes glow with excitement.  With pickaxe in hand and a good-natured greed in their hearts, the dwarves will face any lurking danger or hostile creature in their vast underground kingdom because there’s gold down there they haven’t mined yet.

The latest and greatest for the Digimon Card Game is here with Blast Ace meaning players will be able to check out the brand new mechanics, Digimon and more that this set has brought to the table! The biggest new inclusion to this set is the new Ace Digimon who made their debut in the two starter decks released just last month featuring WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon. This mechanic allows players to counter during an opponent’s attack and digivolve for no cost if they have an appropriate Digimon and give themselves the opportunity to turn the tide of battle in their favor. The drawback being if that particular Ace card leaves the field the owner takes a hefty memory loss the moment it leaves. The Blast Ace set in particular focuses on four tamers from the original Digimon Adventure series including Mimi with Palmon, Tai with Agumon, Joe with Gomamon and T.K. With Patamon. All of these Digimon have received level 5 Ace Digimon making them dangerous early contenders to get out to sway the game.

Sometimes, despite best intentions and constant vigilance, a game manages to fly in under the radar.  A quiet fan-base that’s actually trying to be as noisy as possible builds up around it, and eventually people start noticing.  The phrase is supposed to be “sleeper hit” but honestly, the “hit” part is usually overselling things a bit.  For every Katamari Damacy that spawns a much-loved series there are a dozen Gitaroo Man, loved by the people who played it and either forgotten or unknown by everyone else.  Astlibra Revision actually did pretty ok for itself on PC but it’s still incredibly niche, but is more than good enough to deserve stronger recognition.  With today’s launch on Switch a whole new audience has a shot at some of the fastest and most versatile side-view combat an action-RPG has to offer.

A new trailer for Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince draws near. This newest trailer emphasizes the monsters that Psaro will be wrangling and synthesizing in the upcoming monster catching game. The showcased monsters include some rather strange and food themed creatures, but anyone who has been following Dragon Quest is aware the numerous dreadful puns that are used in coming up with names for the bestiary. Some of these include the Goonache Goodie which appears to be a chocolate slime, Vegan Dragora, Croc-a-Bugle-Doo, King Jester Slime and the Sugar Baddie. These new and strange creatures will also be joined several of the more iconic Dragon Quest monsters that occupy the majority of the games such as the Great Sabrecub, Dracky, Funghoul and of course Slimes.

The latest update to the massive MMORPG, Lost Ark, is finally upon us. This was laid out during Amazon Game Studios’ road map a couple months ago, arguably being the most anticipated even more so than the Akkan tier. The reason of course is that the Assassin class is getting a new character to their roster in the form of Souleater, a fast paced, flashy vixen. Amazon Game Studios has released the full patch notes for the newest update, and it comes with a couple surprises:

Prepare for cosmic chaos as MultiversalME Studios unleashes their intergalactic multiplayer action arcade, Space Battle Royale, on Steam Early Access.

It’s been a long time coming, but Teardown is finally making its way to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S|X tomorrow, November 15. And who better to help us get excited than the great Owen Wilson? Wowwwwww…right?

Valve’s Steam Deck wasn’t the first portable gaming PC – but it was the first one to find a way to bring the technology into a price point that the general public could reasonably afford. As an early adopter, I’ve been overjoyed with my Deck for the past 18 months and now Valve has announced a whole new generation of the device with the Steam Deck OLED. It’s a great time for them to do so with the ROG Ally showing off the same kind of portable gaming tech to the mainstream with a far brighter screen, while the Lenovo Legion GO just launched and features a bright screen and detachable left and right controllers.

Nacon has released some top-tier controllers over the years, and now the Revolution 5 is out for the PlayStation 5 and PC. The Revolution 5 Pro is Nacon’s sixth overall controller and features Hall effect technology in the analog sticks. This technology has been used in a few controllers over the years, but is generally used for only the sticks whereas here, they’re used in the sticks and the triggers. Hall effect sticks alone allow for a far more durable and user-friendly, with the ability to avoid friction on the stick movement being an absolute godsend for racing games, shooting games, or 3D platformers.

Even before the initial announcement of the Super Mario Bros. Movie Nintendo had begun to show more and more interest in moving into more purely visual media from shows to movies. With the insanely hit success that was Super Mario Bros. it comes as no surprise that more plans for future franchise adaptions were likely underway. We’ve seen hints of potentially more coming for Mario, but one other major franchise that seemed likely to crop up was The Legend of Zelda. Fans have discussed this at length online, but the direction it could take was unknown. Many wanted an actual episodic series covering the various games, while many were hoping for some sort of anime be it movie or long form series. Today we’ve gotten our very first look at what’s to come for new Zelda media and it’s taken the form of a planned live action film. While we don’t have many details on this revelation just yet, the news dropped without much fanfare at all coming directly from Nintendo’s official twitter account of all places in both Japanese and English.
