Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge has revealed a sales milestone, with the game moving over one million units. That goes for copies sold across all platforms.

PlatinumGames has revealed more information about Bayonetta 3, and we now have word that the game will include a Naive Angel Mode.
Bayonetta has always been a mature series. But with this new feature, PlatinumGames says “more people can fully enjoy it” and “you can play right in the living room without having to worry about what’s on screen.” When the option is on, characters will show a little less skin as they’ll be more covered up. It goes without saying, but this is completely optional.

Is Xenoblade too complex for you? Explaining why the series is so good
Posted on 2 years ago by Luiz in Features, New Nintendo 3DS, Switch, Videos, Wii, Wii U | 0 comments
We are just a couple of weeks away from the release of Xenoblade Chronicles 3, which feels a little bit surreal considering that the game was announced in February of this year.
As expected, a lot of people are trying to get into the series before the third entry comes out, and some will probably hear about how the series is complex and not always super friendly to beginners. Although it is undeniable that Xenoblade can be complicated sometimes, I get the impression that when the discourse is so focused on the series complexity, there’s a chance that we are scaring some future fans.
Taking that into consideration, I decided to make a video talking about the overall appeal of the series and why fans love it so much despite the complexity. Feel free to check out the video down below.
