I just watched a 20-minute presentation on Nintendo’s life-sim Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream, and that’s the conclusion I’ve come to. The game looks weird-as-hell (complimentary), and even includes the welcome addition of a nonbinary option for character creation.
It launches on the Switch on April 16th.
Ahead of the finale for Fallout season 2 next week, Amazon has started dropping episodes of the first season on YouTube so you can get a taste of the post-apocalyptic series for free. That finale, meanwhile, will be available a little early, streaming at 9PM ET on February 3rd.
IP-licensing is truly out of control, as the film and TV rights for the terracotta pets that were popular in the ‘80s have now been acquired. What’s next, a movie based on The Clapper?
The upcoming beat ‘em up Scott Pilgrim EX, which brings back the creative team behind the last (very good) Scott Pilgrim beat ‘em up, now has a release date. It’s dropping March 3rd, and should hopefully make for a good companion piece to the fascinating animated series on Netflix.
The latest entry in the Reigns series, which previously included a Game of Thrones spinoff, will star the witcher himself. It’s called Reigns: The Witcher, and like previous entries, it will have you making decisions by swiping through cards. The new game hits PC and mobile on February 25th.
And to celebrate, through the end of January and early February, the studio is going to be airing a series of showcases covering its biggest games: World of Warcraft, Overwatch, Hearthstone, and Diablo. You can check out the full schedule right here.
Fresh off releasing the latest Super Mario Galaxy movie trailer, Nintendo is holding another Direct soon, this one focused on the delightfully strange-looking Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream. You can watch it live on January 29th at 9AM ET. Nintendo says it’ll last around 20 minutes.
