Tears Of The Kingdom Themed Nintendo Switch OLED Launching April 28

It might only be a little more than a month until Tears of the Kingdom finally launches, but some of you are already dying to know more about the sequel. Nintendo is very aware of that, hence it showing off ten minutes of Game play from the sequel today. To cap off the best look at the follow-up to Breath of the Wild we've seen so far, Nintendo confirmed Tears of the Kingdom will indeed be getting its very own limited edition OLED Switch two weeks prior to the Game 's arrival. After Eiji Aonuma was done playing through some of Tears of the Kingdom for our benefit, the screen faded to black before cutting to footage of the new OLED Switch which will be available from April 28. The special edition console will have gold Joy-Con with green and white patterns on them. The dock itself will be white with gold detailing.

The Last Of Us Part 1's PC Port Is Facing Complaints Over Constant Crashes

When it comes to PlayStation's PC offerings, they've been fairly reliable in terms of quality and performance. You'll rarely hear about a PlayStation port running poorly on the day of launch, yet that's exactly what seems to be happening with the recently released port of The Last of Us Part 1. First reported by Steam Deck Gaming on Twitter, it appears that players are having to wait for up to 2 hours for the Game to build shaders after booting it up for the first time. It's reported that this is causing the main menu to run extremely slowly, yet that doesn't appear to be the worst of the issues.

Fortnite Unvaults The Flint-Knock And Egg Launcher Ahead Of Easter

When it comes to the holidays, Fortnite usually goes all out for Halloween and Christmas and adds smaller offerings for other significant dates on the calendar. Take Easter, for instance. There isn't going to be something on the same level as Fortnitemares to play while you wait for the Easter Bunny to pay you a visit next week, but you will be able to fire eggs at your opponents and also eat them for some fun effects. For anyone who will be celebrating their first Easter in The Loop, the eggs flying out of the Egg Launcher and the consumables you can grab and eat are very different. If an opponent fires an egg at you using the now-unvalued Egg Launcher, don't try to catch it in your mouth. The Egg Launcher is effectively a reskinned Grenade Launcher so yes, they will explode if they hit you. In fact, they'll explode wherever they land, so run.

PlayStation's Naughty Dog To Develop For PS5 And PC Concurrently

Naughty Dog is perhaps the flagship studio under Sony PlayStation, famous for blockbuster triple-A titles like Uncharted and The Last of Us. Further cementing its reputation for technical as well as storytelling excellence in the late-stage days of the PS3, nowadays Sony is not only putting its biggest Game s on its consoles but also for PC. We've seen this with its first-party developers porting the likes of Spider-Man, Returnal, and God of War. While Naughty Dog has brought the Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection to PC, its latest port, of The Last of Us Part 1, has not been doing so great as it draws criticism for poor technical performance. In a blog post, Naughty Dog celebrated the PC launch of The Last of Us Part 1 with a significant detail about the studio's future plans.

Charlie Day Wants A Luigi's Mansion Movie Next

The arrival of The Super Mario Bros. Movie in cinemas is now just a week away. Even though none of us have actually seen it yet, based on trailers and the relatively little we know about it so far, it feels like the blockbuster is going to be a big success. So much so that Charlie Day already making it known that he wants to star in a Luigi's Mansion spin-off definitely feels like the right thing to do. ComicBook.com's Brandon Davis caught up with Day, the voice of Luigi in the Mario movie, during a press junket for the film and the actor was as clear as he could be regarding his want for Luigi's Mansion: The Movie. “Yes I do. Big time. You're not the first [to ask] but let's get that out in the zeitgeist. Let's make this happen, okay? I am in,” Day replied.

Ling Xiaoyu Officially Confirmed In Tekken 8 Gameplay Trailer

Tekken 8 continues to reveal its roster with yet another franchise standby that has been in every Tekken Game since 3. Ling Xiaoyu just got her two-minute trailer showcasing her new look and a few new moves, including a brand-new Rage Art that sends her opponents spiraling. It looks like the core of Xiaoyu remains the same since the early days, with plenty of wide swings that will connect against larger enemies from multiple angles. She also still has those dance-like combos that switch between high and low stances making them difficult to interrupt. Her trademark Art of Phoenix is also well represented in the trailer, which has been a staple stance since her very first appearance.

Resident Evil 4 Fans Spot 2003 Beta Reference In Remake

Way back at E3 2003, Capcom showed off beta Game play for a Resident Evil sequel that looked wildly different from the first two Game s. Whereas the earlier Biohazard Game s were about zombies, this demo had ghosts, possessed dolls, and spooky castles alongside a leather-jacketed Leon. A lot of it was either cut or changed for Resident Evil 4, but the remake has at least brought back one jump scare that never made it into the original. As spotted by Reddit user KingGerog, the jump scare from the 2003 beta involves a deer head that was mounted to a wall. In the beta (which has also been affectionately referred to as Resident Evil 3.5), Leon comes across a beheaded deer that screams and falls to the ground in a pool of blood before disappearing in a flash of light. This and other supernatural elements of the 2003 build were later cut so that jump scare never made it into Resident Evil 4.

RE4 Remake's Merchant Can't Be Killed, But You Can Pelt Him With Eggs

Resident Evil 4 Remake is now in the hands of fans, and while the vast majority of the Game has stayed faithful to the original, there are some things that have changed. For example, in the original Game you could kill The Merchant, which would stop him from appearing in the Game from that moment on. Unfortunately, you can't do that in the remake, as the Game will stop you from even pointing your weapon in his direction. It's one thing that a large amount of fans were a little disappointed didn't make the leap. However, there is a way you can irritate the Merchant, and it doesn't require firing a single bullet. Instead, if you reach into your attache case and grab one of the many eggs you're probably carrying, you'll find that the Game doesn't stop you from pelting The Merchant with them as much as you like.

Resident Evil 4 Fans Are Tricking Newcomers Into Shooting The Lake

If you shoot the lake in Resident Evil 4 Remake, you get a unique Leon Kennedy costume. No, really - go try it out! When you're done, come back and finish the article, yeah? The 'tricking' part of that pesky hed is an exaggeration, promise. You back? Cool, yeah, a big fish monster eats you. It did in the original too, which is why vets are telling all the new players to go and do it. Someone probably did it to them back in the day, so it's only fair.

Elden Ring Streamer Beats First Three Bosses With One Finger

After more than a year traversing The Lands Between, it's probably safe to assume some of you are pretty good at Elden Ring. It's also safe to assume none of you are quite as good as MissMikkaa. The streamer has played the Game in a number of unique ways and is currently trying to play through the entirety of Elden Ring's story using just one finger. MissMikkaa took a brief break from Elden Ring to play Resident Evil instead, something a few of us have been doing for the past week. The streamer booted Elden Ring back up yesterday though to begin what she has dubbed the One Finger Run.

The Last Of Us Reimagined As An FPS Using Photo Mode

The Last Of Us Part 1 has been taking a bit of a beating this week after its PC port launched in a disappointing state. If you need reminding why the original game is often lauded as one of the best ever made, perhaps a reimagining of what it might look like in first-person thanks to some nifty work with the remake's photo mode will help that. Ceraphyte is the Last Of Us fan responsible for showing us the Game from an entirely different perspective (thanks, Game sRadar). Photo mode is usually added to Game s so you can capture breathtaking pictures of the Game from all angles, and on occasion uncover some hidden details. However, Ceraphyte's chosen images make some key moments in The Last Of Us even more heartbreaking.
