🎵Kirby, Kirby, Kirby. That’s the name you should know! Kirby, Kirby, Kirby he’s the star of the show!🎵

God, I love that song! Nintendo‘s adorable maximum-pink-having cute “poyo” dispensary of a mascot will be in the upcoming Kirby And The Forgotten Land, which recently dropped a release date trailer with a couple extra details!

Kirby and the Forgotten Land will be coming to Nintendo Switch on March 25th this year! Now, before I do a 🎵breakdown, breakdown 🎵of the gameplay and trailer info, click here for a YouTube link to the trailer itself if you’re so inclined.

A Kirbian Summary of Aesthetics: Kirby and the Forgotten Land will be the titular pink ping-pong-accessory’s first foray into the world of 3D platforming. Despite some design and gameplay seemingly inspired by Mario Odyssey, there’s juxtaposition in Nintendo’s commodification of pure unadulterated wholesomeness exploring a ruined post-apocalypse with more in common with The Last of Us or Breath of the Wild than prior games. That’s a nice bit of Brechtian subversion!

Modern Nintendo and Co-Op Games; An Intellectual Critique: Which is to say, THIS KIRBY GAME WILL HAVE ACTUAL PLAYER 2 CHARACTERS and I am here for it! I’m not talking about sentient disembodied hats or sentient disembodied star people (looking at you Cappy and… the entire Luma species), I’m talking thick meaty good ol’ fashioned sidekicks! Player 2 will be able to control a Waddledee with a spear, seemingly capable of most of Player 1’s in-game abilities (copy abilities notwithstanding). Anyone who knows me knows I love me some good couch co-op fun, so that alone’s made this game hop on my radar more than before.

Kirby’s Abilities; In Conversation with Tupi Philosophy: The main mechanical selling point of this and other Kirby games is the puffball’s ability to inhale small enemies and attacks, only to either spit them back out or absorb them to transform and gain some related ability. For example: Let’s say you’re Kirby, widdle-waddling along some overgrown building when all of a sudden, you’re jumped by a fire-spewing bear-pig-man! Now, if you’re me, the only bloke in a 20 mile radius who thinks Nando’s hottest flavor isn’t as deadly as folks make it out to be, you suck that flame and BOOM. Now you’re Fire Kirby! With the ability to shoot various forms of fire at enemies, including mix-tapes!

In addition to classic abilities, other copy-abilities for Forgotten Land will include a Drill form, a gun-toting ranger and more.

Additional Modes: Players will also have the option to visit Waddle Dee Town in-game, where you can play various minigames and compete in online leaderboards. Nintendo has confirmed Kirby and the Forgotten Land will have local co-op for all previously-mentioned features (thank God) and currently, Nintendo is celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Kirby series, releasing this wallpaper to all as a tie-in.

Howdy folks. Thunderful Games recently dropped a trailer for their latest addition to the SteamWorld series, SteamWorld HeadHunter. Not to be confused with Steam, the online gaming store that it may also be coming to… Or steam the gaseous state for that matter.

SteamWorld HeadHunter appears to be a western-meets-steampunk action game seeing the player take on the role of either a robo-cowboy with a monopoly mustache or a disembodied techno face-hugger.

The developers at Image and Form have worked on past SteamWorld installments including Dig, Heist and Tower Defense, ALL OF THE RACES-

As you can tell from the titles listed above, the series has a penchant for jingle-jangling up to a different gameplay format with each installment. The series has touched on Metroidvanias, turn-based tactics, RPG deck-building and more. Thunderful Games also had an epic 2021 gaming showcase today featuring MARK HAMILL! Instant 10 out of 10 for anything and everything releasing from them right there.

HeadHunter is confirmed to be a third-person action-adventure with co-op gameplay. So as far as I can tell, this will likely go one of two ways. One is standardized Red Dead Redemption 2 online gameplay where you and your posse can roll up to the wastelands and gank on an enemy stronghold (psst! Got a great deal for RDR2 over here). Alternatively, maybe we’ll see Mario Odyssey or Galaxy style co-op where one of you is the cowboy, the other bloke is the head and then wacky shenanigans ensue where you’ll be making childish double entendres about trying to get some head… Of lettuce, MU HA HA.

As for graphics, considering Image and Form have previously worked on The Gunk, a 4k resolution title releasing next month, fairly safe to say that combined with the trailer that SteamWorld Head Hunter will be a good-looking new take on the series. If Gunk sticks the landing gameplay-wise, then it will likely go a long way to supporting development for SteamWorld HeadHunter if it’s successful.

In other news, Mario Party Superstars recently dropped, including the vast majority of minigames across past Mario Party titles. Have a butcher’s at our store if you’re interested or our past articles on the game’s revival of past mechanics, covering the online leakage scandal and the trailer.

The post SteamWorld Headhunter Gameplay Details! first appeared on Get2Gaming.

The hardware specs required for the PC version of Back 4 Blood have been revealed. The apocalyptic FPS developed by Turtle Rock Studios is heavily inspired by the classic co-op shooter Left 4 Dead and has garnered much hype as it has been dubbed a spiritual successor. It is developed by the same team behind Left 4 Dead, who went on to establish themselves as a new studio for the game’s development.  Thankfully, there is no need to break the bank on upgrading to new and expensive hardware, as the game does not require extensive processing power to function.

Back 4 Blood PC Specs

Minimum requirements (1080p / 60fps / Low Quality Settings):

• OS: Windows 10
• Processor: i5-6600 (3.3 GHz) or AMD Ryzen 5 2600 (3.4 GHz)
• Memory: 8 GB RAM
• Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti or AMD Radeon RX 570
• DirectX: Version 12
• Storage: 40 GB available space

Recommended (1080p / 60fps / High Quality Settings):

• OS: Windows 10
• Processor: Intel Core i5-8400 (2.8 GHz) or AMD Ryzen 7 1800X (3.6 GHz)
• Memory: 12 GB RAM
• Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 or AMD Radeon RX 590
• DirectX: Version 12
• Storage: 40 GB available space

As you can see here, the specs required to play the game should easily be within reach for most PC gamers.

What to Expect

The influence of Left 4 Dead is obvious throughout all aspects of Back 4 Blood, as players are tasked with shooting their way through endless hordes of parasite-riddled infected as they make their way between safe rooms.

The game is a co-op shooter with a lot of promise.  It builds upon the foundations established way back when Left 4 Dead was dominating the competition, maintaining a strong and loyal fanbase even to this day.

Back 4 Blood adds to Left 4 Dead’s flawless formula with the addition of a card-based perk system and incredibly satisfying gunplay. It includes an extensive armoury, as well as a variety of perks that can be customised to suit your own chosen playstyle. There will be eight characters to choose from, each with their own strengths and flaws, whereas Left 4 Dead’s character choice was purely for aesthetic purposes.

Alongside this, the game also features a varied cast of “Ridden” – the games infected adversaries. Each type of Special Ridden will have their own special attack, meaning players must be tactical in their approach in dealing with these gruesome monsters.

Back 4 Blood will be released on the 12th of October across all platforms. Pre-Order your PS4/PS5 copy from the store now! If you have pre-ordered the Ultimate Edition of Back 4 Blood, you will have early access starting from the 7th of October. Otherwise, its October 12th for all Standard Editions or via Game Pass on Xbox.

Mark your calendars, we've got a slaydate with the Ridden. #Back4Blood pic.twitter.com/2bqZAIFRmg
