Tripwire Interactive has announced that Killing Floor 3, which had been scheduled to release on March 25, has been delayed to an unspecified date later this year. A number of changes will be made to the game both for the new launch date and afterward.Chief among those changes is a post-release update that will separate perk classes from characters, letting the two be chosen independently. The initial change to tie your class choice to a character proved to be contentious with some fans, mirroring similar complaints about Battlefield 2042's debut with hero-style classes."With the full support of our parent company, Embracer Group, we're working together on a timeline to address many of the common issues players had during the beta, including performance/stability, UI/UX, lighting, and weapon feel," the studio said in a statement. "We can confirm that an update allowing you to independently select your perk class and character is planned for post-release."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Nintendo has just added not one, but two amazing Game Boy titles to Switch Online: Mario's Picross and Donkey Kong '94. The former was the introduction to the logic-puzzle genre that seems ubiquitous today but was rare in 1995. Intriguingly enough, the same developer behind Mario's Picross--Jupiter Corp.--has created the Picross S series on Switch.Meanwhile, Donkey Kong '94 begins almost like a remake of the original Donkey Kong arcade game. But from there, the Game Boy title turns into a puzzle-platformer with Mario as the protagonist trying to rescue Pauline. You can see a video showcasing both games in action below.Last week, Nintendo announced it would delist a Switch Online game for the first time ever in Japan. Super Formation Soccer, known as Super Soccer in the US, will leave the subscription service on March 28.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The beloved roguelike platformer Spelunky 2 was released in 2020 for PlayStation 4, and a native PS5 version just dropped yesterday, March 6.While the PS4 version can back played on PS5 via backwards compatibility, the PS5 version has one crucial upgrade, as noted by Polygon. It can also run at a blazing-fast 120fps, provided that your monitor or TV has the capability to show those frames. Those extra frames could be the difference between victory and defeat in an unforgiving game like Spelunky 2.Spelunky 2 costs $20 on PSN. Fortunately, those who already own Spelunky 2 on PS4 can simply upgrade to the PS5 version for free. The game also has cross-play to its online multiplayer functions, so players can join up with others from different platforms.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Leaked gameplay footage of the next, still-untitled Battlefield game is making its way online, giving fans a glimpse at what the future of the franchise will entail.A small number of players are currently playing the next installment in the Battlefield franchise as part of an early Battlefield Labs playtest, and though those playing are under an NDA, gameplay footage has unsurprisingly leaked online. Publisher EA, at least initially, seemed to be pulling down leaked footage of the playtest, but many clips continue to circulate online for the time being.around 9 minutes of footage with sound since it seems EA retracted the takedowns pic.twitter.com/p3lEaw2FBA — bob. (@BobNetworkUK_) March 7, 2025 Despite the large scale playtest being described as existing so that players can give feedback on a pre-alpha version of the game, the new Battlefield looks to be fairly far along. This new entry takes place in the modern day rather than in the past (Battlefield 1 or Battlefield V) or the future (Battlefield 2042), bringing to mind the look and feel of games like Battlefield 3 and 4.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Fortnite has been the subject of lawsuits and other regulatory action a number of times over the years regarding its FOMO-driven item shop practices, and now we've got another one for the pile. A new proposed class-action suit filed in California and Texas, as reported by Polygon, takes aim at "fake countdown timers" that would seemingly indicate that an item is leaving the shop imminently--even though very often items would stick around for days or weeks after the timer expired.This suit is not, however, taking issue with the Fortnite item shop as it exists today. The timers in question were removed from Fortnite in 2023 as a result of action by regulators in The Netherlands, and replaced last May with new disclaimers on each item in the shop declaring the exact date and time they will leave the shop. So this suit is about Epic's alleged sins of the past.Before 2024, the Fortnite item shop was a much more nebulous place. Players were simply never told how long things would stay in the shop--when something appeared, it might stay for a day, a week, or a month, but there was no sure way to know. Sometimes the official Fortnite Twitter would announce that an item would be leaving, but those warnings usually came just hours before they left.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Cregger will direct the movie and co-write the script with Shay Hatten, a veteran of the John Wick films and their upcoming spin-off, Ballerina. Constantin Film--which produced the six Resident Evil movies starring Milla Jovovich as well as 2021's previous reboot attempt, Resident Evil: Welcome To Raccoon City--will produce and co-finance the new movie alongside Sony's PlayStation Productions.A previous report from The Hollywood Reporter indicated that Warner Bros. and Netflix were among the bidders for the new incarnation of Resident Evil, which is believed to be a fresh start for the franchise.

In just over a month, players will have a better idea of what to expect from the Switch 2 when it's showcased during a Nintendo Direct on April 2. Because Nintendo had to share certain technical specs with the Federal Communication Commission ahead of time, players are now privy to a few additional details about the upcoming console.Via The Verge, the FCC has posted some of the Switch 2 technical specs online. While most of these reports are very dry with technical jargon, they do indicate that Switch 2 will support near field communication, or NFC, which is how the Amiibo figures were able to connect with Nintendo's previous console to unlock new in-game content. It's also been confirmed that the radio-frequency identification (RFID) feature is located in the right Joy-Con, just as it was in the first Switch. While that's not 100% confirmation that Amiibos will continue to be utilized with the Switch 2, it certainly seems likely that they will. The FCC filings indicate that Switch 2 will support Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) networks with up to 80MHz of bandwidth. That's an upgrade from the original Switch's Wi-Fi 5 capabilities, but not as fast as Wi-Fi 6E or Wi-Fi 7. These reports also confirm that Switch 2 has two USB-C ports, one at the top and one at the bottom. The system can be charged through either of those ports.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Monster Hunter Stories Collection $33.55 (was $60) Monster Hunter Stories Collection's release coincided with the standalone launch of the enhanced port of the original game. Prior to last June, the original entry in the spin-off series was exclusive to 3DS and mobile.

Alongside the games, Capcom added a Museum Mode filled with artwork and music.Switch owners should know that only Monster Hunter Stories is included on the cartridge; Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin is a digital download from the eShop and requires roughly 14GB of storage space.The sequel received a physical edition back when it first launched in 2021, so you can technically still get both Monster Hunter Stories games in true physical format, but it'll cost you a lot more.

Luckily, the Retro Fighters D6 wireless controller just launched, which aims to give Dreamcast fans a more modernized gamepad.

The Retro Fighters D6 Dreamcast wireless controller also works on PC and Nintendo Switch.
