10 Minutes of Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night Gameplay – #E32017

Check out 10 minutes from Koji Igarashi’s CastleVania inspired game Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. I didn’t have a chance to play Bloodstained at E3 but I’m super excited as I’m a huge CastleVania fan. Its been too long since a good side scrolling CastleVania has been released. The only bad news is that this game is still a long ways out and isn’t expected to be released until some time in 2018.

My E3 2017 Photo Gallery


So the dust has settled and another E3 is in the books. This year for me though was a true whirlwind of excitement and emotions. What started as a long shot last minute trip, made entirely possible by strangers on the internet I was able to go and have one of the best con experiences of my life. With a shit load of luck and less than a weeks notice I was at the gaming worlds mecca once again. Not only did I play an insane amount of games, I met some new and amazing friends along the way. Here are just a few pics I snapped while I was down there.

Thanks again to @Wario64 for basically getting me a badge and Jim Hale for scoring me accommodations. Without either of your help I would of never made it there.

Pokkén Tournament DX coming to Switch, Pokémon Ultra Sun, and Pokémon Ultra Moon coming to 3DS

New Pokémon games have been revealed! Pokkén Tournament DX comes to Nintendo Switch on September 22, and Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon come to the Nintendo 3DS family of systems on November 17!

Fans were disappointed that the rumored Pokemon Stars version for Switch was nowhere to be seen and a website listing showing TBA led to rampant speculation. The Pokémon copy shut down rumors that a Switch version was coming and that the website listing was an error. Maybe we’ll find out more at E3? Here’s hoping as I for one would love a mainline Pokémon game on the Switch.
