Forget Breath of the Wild 2, It’s All About WarioWare: Get It Together

Much like the Xbox and Bethesda conference earlier this week, the Nintendo Direct managed to be another bright spot in an otherwise disappointing mix of presentations for E3 2021. The event featured just about everything fans could have hoped for, including info on remasters, new games, and expansions alike.  Arguably the biggest news came at the end of the show, as The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 teaser gave us a glimpse at the skies of Hyrule while also confirming its 2022 release window. However, beautiful this

E3 2021 catch up

If you’re like me, you spent the weekend longing for the mixed bag that is downtown Los Angeles during E3. I’ve got fond memories of fish tacos, The Last Bookstore, watching playoff basketball in garishly lit hotel lobbies and, of course, video game press conference after video game press conference. For a second year in a row, the show’s gone all virtual, owing to…well, you know, that pesky virus that has defined the past year and a half of our lives. Last year’s show was canceled altogether (though a handful

Every Xbox Exclusive Microsoft Announced at E3 2021

After a couple of fairly lackluster E3 presentations, the Microsoft and Bethesda livestream felt like a much-needed breath of fresh air. There was no shortage of exciting game announcements and updates, and we even got to see a few Xbox exclusives mixed up in there as well. Here’s a list of every Xbox exclusive game announced at E3 2021. Do note that this list only contains Xbox console exclusives that were announced during the presentation, so games like Halo and Twelve Minutes won’t be included.

The livestream will start with a preshow at 11:00 am PDT, and continue with the real thing at Noon.

Of course, the whole recording will be available on

What can we expect from Nintendo at E3 2021?

When it comes to Nintendo announcements, it’s best to expect the unexpected—and to lower your expectations. In a year where we haven’t seen many major titles released, Nintendo’s announcements at E3 may (or may not) set the tone for the remainder of the year and the fourth year of the Nintendo Switch. This year’s E3 follows suit with last year’s, forgoing an in-person event in favor of numerous digital events due to evolving situations surrounding the pandemic. Nintendo is heading back to the event with a new Nintendo Direct scheduled

Intel Labs’ Image Enhancement Tech Could Have a Massive Impact on Video Game Graphics

Making video games look better and better is something that developers and publishers have prioritized over most other things for a long time now. In the era of 4K visuals and frame rates that surpass with many people’s eyes can even appreciate, you could argue that we are entering the domain of diminishing returns when it comes to focusing on photorealistic graphics,  but that’s not going to stop some folks from continuing to try to push the envelope further.
