When I say the game is launching on September 1, what exactly does that mean?...

I’ve always sucked atR-Type, so I wasn’t expecting to be good at the newest iteration,R-Type Dimensions. Even though I knew it would be embarrassing to repeatedly lose in front of the Japanese gamers waiting in line to play, I still gave this Xbox Live Arcade title spin for Destructoid. R-Type Dimensionscontains both shooting classicsR-TypeandR-Type II, but they both have a new face. The game can be played in its classic 2D form, or, with a press of the right bumper button, a slick new 3D re-imaging of the same game....

We’re friends, right? I can be honest with you. I know it. I was going to follow up my earlier list,10 bad games you should play, with a similar list around the same time of year. However, I don’t have akusogechambered for today, so I’m bumping it to a year-end list. Do you know how difficult it is to play a bad game every week? Not just finding, playing through, and then writing up while also covering other responsibilities, but the mental toll it takes on a person....

Podtoid 347: Pikachu Butt Plug Levity isn’t necessarily a strong suit for this week’s Podtoid. Don’t let the title fool you; we talk about some of theworst gameswe’ve ever had to review, funerals, funerals again, and Darren’s snake collection. All bad things. Even though we’re shorthanded this time, me, Steven, and Darren keep the conversation rollin’, partially thanks to some fantastic listener questions. Maybe the name gives it away, but there’s also some butt plug chat....

Friends with free time not included If you’re the type of person to host game-playing get-togethers with friends, there are certain titles you really ought to have on hand, and I’d sayDuck Gameranks pretty high on that list. It’s stupid. It’s fun. It’s stupidly fun. It’s also chaotic, unpredictable, and tense, a combination that leads to ridiculous physical-comedy moments and keeps matches feeling fresh late into the night. Now’s a good time to see what the fuss is about —Duck Gameis featured in a multiplayer-focusedHumble Bundlealong with other cool games for cool people likeBesiegeandRocket League....

The troll warlord returns Heroes of the Stormhad a pretty full year, and Blizzard is kicking off the New Year right with yet another character — the troll Zul’jin. As the first troll in the Nexus he has some big shoes to fill, and even though he’syet anotherWarcraftassassin, I think he’ll slot in nicely with the rest of the lineup. First things first,this is notthe Zul’jin many of you remember and love fromWorld of Warcraft....

Netflix has revealed a first look at the live-action Chopper that’ll appear in the second season ofOne Piece, and we have to say, we are pleasantly surprised by what we have seen so far. Not much had been known about the design for some time until this shadow drop, but after watching the video, seeing how Chopper is animated, interacts, and talks. It’s a pretty faithful recreation of the lovable reindeer doctor in our eyes....

How effective is a dynamite bomb? Into 2D fighters? The flashyDynamite Bombis getting a localization, according to the game distribution company Playism. It will arrive in English, and it will be a full port of the 2013 edition of the game plus all the free updates and add-ons. I miss the days when I could play five or six fighters a week. Back when it was much easier to get a group of friends together to practice and play, I could go through multiple fighters in a day, soaking up each mechanic bit by bit....
