‘Running on a Switch compatible version of the RE Engine’ Monster Hunterhas been around since 2004, but it’s been rather slow-going for the series. Capcom generally does what Capcom does: support games with enhanced or “super-like” versions over time, and only on a few platforms. OriginallyMonster Hunterwas a PS2-bound series, but eventually moved on to other systems, like the Wii and 3DS. But what about the Switch? Surely it deserves more thanGenerations, right?...

I’ve been hot and bothered forLet’s Tapfor months now, ever since the soundtrack fell into my hands and remained in my car’s CD player for countless rotations. I figure any game with a soundtrack that good has to be at least a little bit fun, so I’ve been watching closely to see how the localized version will compare to the Japanese original. Sega Europe Blogactually got their hands on the limited edition copies today, and they were kind enough to update with an image of it....

Shape of the Worldcapitalizes on that in the most low-key way possible. It’s a game that’s billed as “relaxing exploration.” It looks like a lot of wandering, and then interacting with the wildlife that you’ve materialized. The artistic aesthetic seems like it’ll push people toward seeing more....

Detachable butt in the full release Butt Sniffin Pugsis a game about exactly what you’d expect: walk around a park, sniff pug butts, get new abilities, sniff more pug butts. While that does sound wonderful, there are other people on this site who have more expertise in butts than me. It’s the controller I want to talk about. You roll a big ol’ tennis ball around to move, and then slap on a plushy dog’s arse to take a whiff....

‘Tis the season! It’s the most wonderful time of the year! And I truly believe that. While Thanksgiving is easily my favorite holiday, Christmas is a close second, and I’ve always made an iPod playlist with tons of holiday music that I roll out the day after Thanksgiving. Recently, I had people ask me what kind of music I put on my Christmas playlist, and I realized I had a lot of game tracks!...

Every Tuesday a bunch of us Dtoiders get together and hop online to play someTeam Fortress 2on theofficial Destructoid server! You should join us! Yeah, I missed the post last week. It happens. It’s probably for the best if we all pretend I was busy saving a bus full of orphans from terrorists, and in my last breaths before I passed out in the wreckage of the terrorist stronghold I whispered, “damn, I didn’t have time for the TF2sday post....
