Preview: Onimusha: Way Of The Sword Is Capcom's Next Banger
Play as Miyamoto on Switch 2 (not that one). Capcom is having a massive 2026, with hits like Pragmata , Resident Evil Requiem , and Monster Hunter Stories 3 . The studio is now closing out the year with another highly anticipated game, Onimusha: Way of the Sword . I spent almost three hours playing Way of the Sword, splitting my time between the PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2 versions. I came away incredibly impressed by the feel of the game, as well as the performance on Nintendo’s handheld. Read the full article on nintendolife.com
This New NES Patch Overhauls One Of The Console's Most "Difficult" Games
'Silver Surfer Redux' is out now! A new patch has just been released for Software Creations' 1990 NES game Silver Surfer , which overhauls the famously challenging game, reducing the hitbox, increasing shot damage, and granting the player infinite lives to try, try, and try again. If you've ever read a list online of the most difficult games for the NES, the chances are Silver Surfer will typically be positioned somewhere towards the top of said list, situated alongside other great yet challenging titles such as Ghosts 'n Goblins , Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles , and Battletoads .

Fear not, samurai masochists, Onimusha: Way of the Sword's flashiness hasn't replaced its challenge
Last month, I played an extended preview of upcoming action slasher Onimusha: Way of the Sword, and came away impressed - if a bit sore in the fingers. Though the samurai action genre is a crowded one these days, with Nioh 3 doing an excellent job of claiming the current throne, Onimusha has more than a few intriguing tricks up its yukata sleeve.

Helldivers 2 getting an upgraded level cap probably isn't what that spooky teddy bear teaser was about, but is almost definitely in preparation for it
Tonally mercurial co-op shooter Helldivers 2 is boosting its level cap, again, in another hint that something big is brewing in the blackness of its endlessly war-torn galaxy. Following a previous increase from 50 to 150, developers Arrowhead are bumping the cap to level 300 in an upcoming patch, with any XP that you would have gained since hitting the previous limit set to apply retroactively. I wonder if any dive-happy souls out there have banked enough well-done points to instantly jump from 150 to 300 the moment they log in? No judgement here. Questions, maybe, but not judgement. The announcement post doesn’t specific a date or patch number for when the higher cap takes effect, though the announcement itself comes just a day after this curious teaser video, showing a teddy bear in Helldiver garb having a rather nasty time after floating into some kind of open spacetime wound. Which means – that’s right – it’s time to pointlessly speculate! Read more

Out Now: Obakeidoro 2 Brings Spoopy Asymmetric Multiplayer To Switch 1 & 2
Chase & Seek. If you're in the market for some asymmetric multiplayer horror gaming but things like Dead By Daylight come on a little strong/terrifying for your taste, Free Style's Obakeidoro 2: Chase & Seek might be more up your street. Far fewer chainsaws and the like in this one. It launched in Japan last year, but today it's coming to Switches 1 and 2 in the West. Obakeidoro casts you as either Monster or Human and gives the Monster(s) three minutes to chase and catch everyone else in a take on hide-and-seek that forgoes blood and guts in favour of cutesy, spoopy tension.
