Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is an action-RPG game from Monolith Soft. The game received its own Nintendo Direct earlier this week that was solely dedicated to it. At this event, we learned some new information about the game and saw its latest trailer, which you can watch here . Per the trailer, each person in this world has ten years to live. During this time, they either fight people from the other nations until they pass away or until they receive the honor of a homecoming ceremony. The lead characters, however, are now on the run after meeting each other during a special mission and electing to form a team rather than take part in the violent war raging around them. You can initiate quest routes in the game's expansive world, which will direct you to your most recent objective. Nintendo also stated that the game will receive an expansion pack, have fast travel, and be Amiibo compatible. Restore the world's natural order when Xenoblade Chronicles 3 launches for Switch ...

What Ya Playing 06/22/22

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge is a Beat ‘em Up game from Tribute Games. So far, I’ve played about three hours of the game and am around sixty-five percent of the way through the campaign. I don’t typically enjoy Beat ‘em Up games, but so far I’m really liking TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge. I’m not sure if this is down to the TMNT license that I’m slightly familiar with, the level-structured story mode, or something else. Out of the four turtles, Splinter, April O'Neil, and Casey Jones, I’ve only played as Leonardo and April O’Neil. Once combat got a tad repetitive, I switched characters to April O’Neil. Learning and mastering both characters’ combat styles was engaging. While the game supports up to six-player multiplayer, I’ve had a blast playing solo. The pixel art looks great, and the animated cutscenes are even better. Some of the stage music is also really good. I have yet to finish the game, but from where I am currently, I think this...

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth got a reveal trailer. The next installment of the Final Fantasy VII remake will arrive sooner than you might think. While we don't know much about the title just yet, the story of this second part appears to greatly depart from the original game's plot. Also, Zach Fair (the protagonist of Crisis Core) is shown in the teaser, and despite being presumably dead at the end of Crisis Core, he seems to have survived. “Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is being designed so that people can enjoy this game whether they know the original game or not,” said Tetsuya Nomura (creative director). “In fact, new players might even enjoy starting their Final Fantasy VII journey with Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. Cloud and his friends embark on a new journey in this game, and I believe that the scenes that they witness after leaving Midgar will give players a fresh, new experience. I can’t wait to share the intention behind naming the first title ‘Remake’ and the second ...
