If you’re a similar age as me, you likely have a lot of great memories sitting around a comically heavy tube television and a Nintendo 64 with your friends. The game in the tray may have differed – my friend group leaned towards GoldenEye 007, Star Fox 64, and Mario Kart 64 – but whether you were firing up Mario Party or Super Smash Bros., the allure of four-player gameplay was difficult to ignore. Add in the fact that Nintendo 64 also played home to some of the most influential single-player games of all time, like Super Mario 64 and…
Dragon Quest VII Reimagined is Square Enix’s second crack at remaking the original 2001 Dragon Quest VII, and though it features a lot of changes that you can read about in Game Informer’s Dragon Quest VII Reimagined cover story. But, despite the changes, some things remain; namely, your party in Reimagined. When all is said and done, it will still consist of Hero, Maribel, Prince Kiefer (who are front and center on our latest magazine cover), Ruff, Aishe, and Sir Mervyn. To get you primed for Reimagined, we spoke to the game’s lead scenario writer, Sayaka Takagi, and producer Takeshi Ichikawa…

Last week, we got the first proper trailer for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, but it seems Nintendo had more movie teasers ready to go for this week. Today, shared on the Nintendo Today App and on social media, we got our first glimpse at the live-action adaptation of The Legend of Zelda, which just started filming in New Zealand. You can take a look at Link and Zelda below. The images show Link, played by Benjamin Evan Ainsworth, and Zelda, played by Bo Bragason, in a sprawling green countryside, presumably somewhere in Hyrule. On social media, the images are…
The character of Deadpool is divisive. He’s not a hero that many have neutral feelings for. You either appreciate his caustic, perpetual dialogue and complete disrespect for the fourth wall, or his vulgar and violent attitude will never win you over and you’re done giving him the opportunity to try. I am among the small percent who does often tire of Deadpool’s schtick, but am happy to give it up for the jokes that absolutely work on me. His virtual reality video game fares similarly to his appearances in other media. Both the dialogue and gameplay sometimes grated on me,…
In an increasingly crowded marketplace, small businesses and independent entrepreneurs are under more pressure than ever to stand out. Whether they operate online, from a local studio, or out in the community, visibility plays a crucial role in survival and long-term growth. Clothing, once seen merely as a functional necessity or a novelty add-on, has become a powerful branding tool. It allows businesses to express identity, spark recognition, and create emotional connections with their audience. Among the platforms driving this shift, Local Threads has emerged as a standout solution, offering entrepreneurs the ability to create high-quality custom apparel without the…

In an announcement that was arguably more surprising that Valve sharing details about its upcoming console, VR headset, and new controller, Vampire Survivors is now inexplicably available for Meta Quest. I’m not the biggest VR proponent, but I am a big fan of seeing how familiar games get ported to the platform. I love Resident Evil 4 VR for Meta Quest and am sad that Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas appears to be dead. Hopefully, I am wrong.In any case, I quickly downloaded it and played a few rounds and was charmed by it. Expectantly, it offers a new perspective…
