Arcades are like training mode for fighting games The announcement ofPokkén Tournamentcame as a surprise to most of us. We knew some sort of Pokémon fighter was coming, but the news thatTekkendirector Katsuhiro Harada was inchargewas an awesomeshock.

Japan gets an anime air date Level 5 is riding high withYo-Kai Watch, at least in Japan, where it made a killing for them in the gaming, anime, and toy industry. They’re hoping to repeat that success withSnack World, a TV show based on a game that hasn’t come out yet, that looks like it could get a bigger western following thanYo-Kai Watchwith itsAdventure Time-esque premise. You’ll be able to see the show, which again precedes the 3DS game that doesn’t have a date yet, soon enough too as it arrives in Japan on April 13, airing on BS Japan at 7:25 PM JST on Thursdays — it should be easy enough to get from various content providers like Crunchyroll, which simulcast basically everything now....

Another way to give them your money Sony has announced today that PayPal may be used to make purchases through the PlayStation 3, and consumers may now commence transferring funds to their Sony Entertainment Network wallets through the console to their heart’s content. PayPal has been slowly rolling out as an option for SEN, first arriving on the service’s web-based store in January. With the proliferation of credit, debit and gift card options now so wide, the appeal of PayPal as a payment system seems far less desirable than it might have been a few years ago....

Despite releasing to PS5 in 2020,The Last of Us Part 2is only just about coming to PC. On the one hand, it will be the remastered version when it is released (it’s up to you to decide whether a four-and-half-year-old game even needs remastering). However, if you’re planning to get your gritty zombie action on via Steam or Epic Games Store, you won’t be able to escape Sony’s clutch. As noted byVGC, if you want to playThe Last of Us Part 2on PC, you’ll need to connect a PlayStation Network account to do so....

Best of 2013 There were so many desktop wallpaper worthy games this year. Heck, one of the entrants comes from a collaboration with Studio Ghibli. I’ve considered buying an old iPad and converting it into a digital photo frame because existing ones can’t play animated gifs and I need Ghibli gifs in my life at all times. Fighting game animations, too. Someone with actual skills please tell me the easiest way to do this....

I love PopCap mostly for making some of my favorite games (current addiction:Solitaire Blitz), but I also love them for giving tocharityand good causes. Today, and for the next 72 hours, proceeds from in-game boosts, or “Idols,” purchased in Facebook gameZuma Blitzwill go toAutism Speaks, an organization that funds research into autism prevention and treatment. I think it’s incredible that playing a Facebook game could help people. InZuma Blitz, these Idols will give you perks, like an extra minute on the clock, or faster firing balls....
