Yaiba And Ninja Gaiden 3 Weren T Right For The Series According To Team Ninja S Fumihiko Yasuda

The memories of both Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z and Ninja Gaiden 3 are still fresh in the minds of any Team Ninja fan. Both games were eagerly anticipated, but upon launch they failed to appease fans. They each scored far lower than average on Metacritic, and the fanbase generally avoids these games when thinking about playing through the series, though things did improve with Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge. I was able to ask Fumihiko Yasuda, head of Team Ninja, a few questions about the series in a recent email Q&A and he talked to us about the upcoming Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection at length, but we needed to know more about the history of Team Ninja and the Ninja Gaiden franchise....

In an effort to appease a dedicated fanbase - and, perhaps, for a bit of free publicity - Tekken 7 project director Katsuhiro Harada recently took to Twitter to ask fans which guest characters they would like to see in the game’s upcoming DLC....

Your Switch Might Die If You Don T Charge It Twice A Year Says Nintendo

If you’re more of a casual Nintendo Switch dabbler, you might want to bear this warning in mind. As is the case with all sorts of rechargeable devices, the hybrid handheld’s battery doesn’t really take kindly to being left forgotten for protracted periods of time. As PS5 and Xbox Series S/X work to iron out the pre-order issues and brace themselves for launch, Nintendo and its fans are in a bit of an odd position....

Youtube Couple Deny They Were Paid Off For The Last Of Us 2 Positive Review

Just days ago, a popular YouTube Channel titled Girlfriend Reviews published their thoughts on Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us 2. On that same day, the game’s director, Neil Druckmann, recommended the video in a personal tweet, encouraging players to watch it after completing the game. Because of this, the video exploded with negative comments, claiming that the YouTube channel was paid to give a positive review of the game. Due to the recent internet hate that The Last of Us 2 has received ever since its launch, many commenters seemed to believe that instead of truly liking the game, Girlfriend Reviews had been paid by Naughty Dog to endorse the title....
