Teaser from the guys at Project Dream of what a potential Banjo-Threeie could've looked like. In all honesty I think they've done a pretty decent job!

New Sony State of Play on June 2nd (tomorrow).

6pm ET/11pm UK time/7am for me, which means I'll be sleeping through it.

[ratsoalbion]

It'll still be there when you wake up (and me).

Street Fighter 6 looks really cool.

Mini Direct for 3rd party games was announced for the 28th of June at (I think) 2pm UK Time.

It's 6am Pacific and 9am Eastern for NA.

Out of nowhere,
Shin-chan: Me and the Professor on Summer Vacation – The Endless Seven-Day Journey coming west for PS4, Switch in August

If anyone is familiar with the Boku no Natsuyasumi games, this is from the same creator and is a Shin-Chan spin on those types of games. Seeing as this is the first one to get an English localisation, I'm excited.

It looks like PS4/5 are getting a Tactics Ogre remake this November.

[ratsoalbion]

Yes, just added it to my calendar!

Yes, just added it to my calendar!

A good excuse to add it to next year's list of games!

[ratsoalbion]

Well, it's on the big list (along with about two and a half thousand others)!

I wanted to love the PSP version but I never got a handle of the battle system.

I think I dropped it in chapter 4 at a battle where the enemy units stared on top of a wall putting me at a massive disadvantage.

It's EVO weekend, so expect fighting game news, and if you play a particular game, you'll see some great gameplay should you choose to tune in, I know I'll be.

We've already got strive announcements, multiversus, project L(league/riot)

I just picked up the latest issue of Edge and was pleasantly surprised to see that Sam Barlow's upcoming Immortality scored a perfect 10, the 24th game to do so in that publication's history (and the second this year after Elden Ring).

Whatever one thinks of Edge and its editorial line, a perfect 10 always captures my attention and especially so when it's a game that wouldn't normally be a day one for me.

[ratsoalbion]

That does pique my interest.

[See Mi Yah]

It releases day one on Game Pass on August 30th.

Excellent.

Good Direct from Nintendo yesterday - really happy Pikmin 4 is finally confirmed (it was shaping up to be a poor Pikmin reveal until then!).

Bayonetta 3 looks great, another mainline Fire Emblem title isn't too far off and Zelda finally has a release date.

GoldenEye release seems really confusing between the two consoles (and a lack of a release date doesn't help) but I'm glad it'll finally see the light of day in some form.

No Advance Wars release date or Metroid news but you can't have everything. Unless it's farming sims.

Just bitter they still haven't announced GBA games for Switch Online. Wasn't really anything that excited me in this direct, but still looking forward to seeing how No Man's Sky is for Switch soon.
