Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered Confirms Platforms for Launch

Corn Kidz 64, a Nintendo 64-inspired 3D indie platformer that originally launched on Steam, is coming to the Nintendo Switch next month. Many gamers are nostalgic for the 3D platformers that were released on the Nintendo 64, such as Super Mario 64, Banjo-Kazooie, and Gex: Enter the Gecko. This nostalgia has resulted in indie developers looking to recreate the feel and mechanics of these 3D platforming games, with games like Cavern of Dreams, Celeste 64: Fragments of the Mountain, and Corn Kidz 64.

Shadows Of The Damned launched during a fascinating part of the PS3 era, where EA suddenly started publishing smaller titles, like the equally iconic Alice: Madness Returns. The business model didn’t last long, but we’re still grateful for the aforementioned third-person shooter, which was co-designed by industry icons Suda51 and Shinji Mikami. And as previously reported it’s getting a PS5 and PS4 remaster, due out later this year.

Bandai Namco has confirmed that Tekken 8's first post-launch DLC character, Eddy Gordo, will be added to the roster in early April. While Tekken 8 is already a success, Bandai Namco is maintaining the game's longevity with a season pass of post-launch DLC, expanding its roster of fighters.

Earlier this month, the upcoming Shadows of the Damned remake got an official title, and one fitting for its tongue-in-cheek vibes: Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered. Due to hit shelves sometime in 2024, fans of the original 2011 title are eager to return to the bizarre world of Garcia Hotspur. Apparently, the game’s writer Suda51 is also extremely interested.

When it comes to cult classics, you probably won't be able to find a developer out there as consistent with them as Suda51 and Grasshopper Manufacture. No More Heroes, Lollipop Chainsaw, and Shadows of the Damned are all very well-liked games that never blew anyone away in terms of sales, but the quirky and unique elements of Suda's games have given him a very loyal and adoring fanbase.

Producer and director of Final Fantasy 14, Naoki Yoshida, has recently teased a «secret» reason behind the upcoming Dawntrail expansion's references to Final Fantasy 9. Final Fantasy 14's Dawntrail expansion was first revealed last July, which is the game's fifth major expansion pack. This expansion sees players taking to the seas and visiting a brand-new land called Tural, set in the West.

A Sonic Frontiers modder has recreated the experience of playing the infamously long Desert Bus. The Sonic Frontiers modding community is incredibly dedicated, as fans have been creating many different experiences ever since its 2022 release. These mods range from adding in new characters to tweaking Frontiers' gameplay. Some of the most impressive mods are the ones revolving around its cyberspace levels, as fans have created both wholly original and nostalgic levels within Frontiers' engine. One ambitious, and incredibly hilarious, mod for Frontiers is one that recreates Desert Bus.

Nintendo's Super Mario Run has launched a new crossover event to celebrate the release of Princess Peach: Showtime on Nintendo Switch. Super Mario Run is a title that occasionally gets overlooked despite being a part of the mainline Super Mario games.

Persona 3 Reload's developers have teased what to expect of the additional content in the upcoming Episode Aigis: The Answer DLC, including new songs, Fusion Spell Theurgies, and even socialization events. Shortly after Persona 3 Reload launched this past February 2, Atlus revealed a post-launch DLC plan, with the Expansion Pass adding three waves of content.

A prominent Sega leaker with a reliable track record has revealed some more information regarding a possible Virtua Fighter reboot and the upcoming Streets of Rage Revolution. These two franchises are a part of Sega's initiative to bring back its classic IPs into the limelight and re-imagine them for modern audiences. A brief teaser trailer was shown at The Game Awards 2023, which highlighted new entries for classic Sega IPs like Jet Set Radio, Crazy Taxi, and Streets of Rage.

Shadows of the Damned, the unexpected collaboration between No More Heroes, Killer7 and Lollipop Chainsaw creator Goichi ‘Suda51’ Suda and Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami, will finally see a PC release with a new remake later this year - over a decade after it first hit consoles.

Legendary game developer Shinji Mikami – best known as the creator of Resident Evil and The Evil Within – has established a new independent game development studio named KAMUY. Interestingly enough, the studio’s existence has emerged not from an official announcement, but through the official website of the upcoming Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered.
