Street Fighter 6 – the final preview: World Tour rounds out a genre-defining feature set Everything in Street Fighter 6 is on track to be a proper return to form for the series – let’s just hope Capcom can stick the landing.

Street Fighter 6 players tagged with racial slur during tournament livestream An apology has since been given out. Last night, over 1,000 players signed up to the Coinbox Street Fighter 6 tournament, hosted and organized by professional Smash Bros player Hungrybox.

Initial guesses pointed to a hacker bypassing security measures and changing the player’s pronoun tags to the racial slurs, knowing they would should up on stream beneath the competitor’s names....

Tangled is next in line to get the live-action treatment at Disney, which makes sense considering 2016’s Moana has been remade already Look, at least they’ve waited more than a decade for this one. Image credit:Walt Disney Studios Sorry, but those Disney live-action remakes continue to print money and the company is in full sequel/nostalgia mode to create ‘value’ for shareholders after recent wins like Deadpool & Wolverine and Moana 2 ....

The best Genshin Impact Barbara build, Artifacts, and F2P options Sing for your succour The best Genshin Impact Barbara build takes a free character and turns her into a potent healing machine with some surprising potential for setting up elemental reactions.

The best Genshin Impact Neuvillette build, Artifacts, and F2P options Judging you The best Genshin Impact Neuvillette build looks a bit different from what you might be used to with your other DPS characters. Neuvillette power washes your foes and scrubs them into oblivion, but he doesn’t actually need a good attack stat to do it. Like Nilou and other support characters, Neuvillette scales with HP, and he can deal a significant amount of damage if you push that stat up high enough....

The most underrated game of 2024 reminds me of Animal Crossing, but it’s all about fishing - and nothing else Fish, gamble, and parkour. What more could you want? Image credit:lamedeveloper When your game(s) of the year largely consist of psychological horror and back-to-back, brutal boss fights — as mine did — you’ll almost definitely need something mindlessly relaxing to kick back with. Sure enough, as I wrapped up my time wandering around the streets of Silent Hill 2 , an adorable, unsuspecting game began doing the rounds on social media: Webfishing....

The Nintendo Museum is better than I thought - in fact, the worst thing about it is probably the name Lots of history, lots of interesting stuff to do, and that ‘Nintendo-like solution’ to how to do a museum. Image credit:VG247 When the Nintendo Museum was announced back in 2021 , the reveal gave it a slightly different name to what it launched as. Back then it was known by the tentative name of the ‘Nintendo Gallery’ - and that conjures up a much fairer, more appropriate image of the final product than the title ‘Nintendo Museum’....
