It's Thanksgiving week in the US, which means the GI staff is taking some time off, heading to wherever they rest their heads, planning dinners and get-togethers, and getting in some extra game time. In light of that, we're publishing a special early edition of The Game Informer Show this week with a little twist - rather than a roundtable discussion, we had everyone contribute their own solo take on what they're playing, thinking about, or otherwise getting back into this holiday break! From the 2025 backlog to older games, and even some tabletop options, we've got a boatload of personalized selections from the GI crew. Enjoy! The Game Informer Show is a weekly podcast…

Nintendo Switch Online’s NES and Game Boy libraries got a new pair of games each today, the former for the first time in nearly a year. Battletoads and Ninja Gaiden II: The Dark Sword of Chaos are now available for the NES library, while the Game Boy collection gets Bionic Commando and Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters Battletoads, first released in 1991, is both beloved and infamous as a classic and challenging co-op brawler. Developed by Rare, it’s now technically owned by Xbox as well. Ninja Gaiden II: The Dragon Sword arrived in 1990 as the second entry of the NES trilogy of Ninja Gaiden games. You may be surprised to know that it’s a very hard game. The Game Boy ver…

Bungie today offered a deep dive look at the new Destiny 2: Renegades release, which is scheduled to arrive for players next week, on December 2. The new major release for the game is an unusual one, as it’s rooted in a partnership with Star Wars. A quick look through the early visuals of the game don’t leave much room for doubt on that, as there are lots of things that look like lightsabers, stormtroopers, and villainous Sith. But as today’s vidoc makes clear, Bungie is trying to thread a more nuanced line with this release that it first appears. While plenty of features may look like Star Wars, the team is going to great pains to make sure it remains a true and canon De…

Dragon Quest launched in Japan in 1986, and a little over a year later, Final Fantasy launched in 1987. Though the two are now sister RPG franchises at Square Enix, before the 2003 merger between Square and Enix, these series were competitors. And if you ask fans, they might use a word like rivals. I traveled to Tokyo, Japan, last month to visit Square Enix's Shibuya offices, play Dragon Quest VII Reimagined, and interview the team behind the remake for Game Informer's latest cover story. But as part of this trip, I interviewed Dragon Quest creator Yuji Horii for 90 minutes about all kinds of topics, including the aforementioned competition between his franchise and Fina…

FX is developing an anthology TV series adapting Ubisoft’s Far Cry franchise. The upcoming show will stream on Hulu in the U.S. and Disney+ internationally. According to a press release, the series will “retain Far Cry’s signature standalone storytelling format” and each season will take place in a new setting and star a different cast. Far Cry is being helmed by executive producers Noah Hawley, creator of FX’s Fargo and Alien: Earth, and Rob Mac (formerly McElhenney after a legal name change this summer), creator of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Mac, who also co-wrote and stars in the FX docuseries Welcome to Wrexham and Apple TV's Mythic Quest, will join the cast o…

Crocs is no stranger to teaming up with video game companies, having released shoes inspired by Animal Crossing and Pokémon in the last couple of years. This time, the popular shoe brand has partnered with Xbox for a clog modeled after Microsoft’s flagship console. Although this collaboration is meant to coincide with the Xbox 360’s 20th anniversary, this special edition Croc clog appears to be modeled after the Xbox One/Series X/S controller. The black shoe is adorned with the Xbox face buttons, d-pad, the white Xbox button, and even pairs of analog sticks. The interior of the shoe sports the Xbox brand name with the Xbox logo adorning the heel straps. The shoe also come…

The Star Fox-inspired Wild Blue has a new name and gameplay trailer. Now re-christened as Wild Blue Skies, the upcoming retro throwback has over four minutes of new gameplay footage. Wild Blue Skies was first revealed in March, and this homage to Star Fox has some authentic expertise behind it; Giles Goddard, a former Nintendo programmer who worked on the original Star Fox, leads the development team at the Kyoto-based Chuhai Labs. The gameplay trailer, revealed by IGN, shows off an unedited dogfighting sequence through the ancient ruins of a stormy planet. Wild Blue Skies centers on ace pilot Bowie Stray and his team taking on the forces of the evil Grimclaw. The fligh…

Dragon Quest will celebrate its 40th anniversary next year in 2026, and with Dragon Quest VII Reimagined launching in February, the occasion is off to a good start. I visited Square Enix's Tokyo, Japan, offices to play two hours of Reimagined, interview the team behind it, and speak to Dragon Quest creator Yuji Horii about the series' long-running history, and more. There's plenty of Reimagined content to read here, but I also took this opportunity to ask Horii about the secret sauce behind Dragon Quest. According to Horii, it's two things: warmth and ease of access. …
