I Don’t Think I Need A Wireless Switch Headset

Bundled with a first-of-its-kind USB-C 2.4GHz dongle that fits nicely in the bottom of the Switch, SteelSeries’ $99 Arctis 1 Wireless gaming headset is the first truly wireless headset for Nintendo’s latest console.

Unpacking is a puzzle game about moving your possessions into a new home. And by “your,” I mean “somebody else’s.” By unpacking and arranging objects—all of which click and clack oh-so-satisfyingly—you’ll gain “a sense of intimacy with a character you never see and a story you’re never told.” I, personally, was not a big fan…

After somehow avoiding it for over two years, I finally got the chance this week to sit down with the second edition of Fantasy Flight’s Mansions of Madness, easily my favorite of their line of Lovecraftian games. The big difference between this version and the first is that it gets rid of the role of…

NBA 2K20 Combines The Worst Parts Of Buying Sneakers And Playing Video Games

The worst thing about playing video games in 2019 is the money-grubbing bullshit. The worst thing about buying sneakers in 2019 is that it’s almost impossible to get the shoes you want at retail. It does not surprise me even one bit that NBA 2K20 has managed to find a way to combine those two…

As fans of good television and good comic books, Kotaku’s Michael Fahey, Gita Jackson, and Joshua Rivera gathered around the digital water cooler to talk about…

Bomberman Anime Villain’s Music Is Basically The Seinfeld Theme

Mujoe, a blonde professional wrestler wearing sunglasses, has served as a foil to Konami’s bomb-tossing hero since 1996’s Saturn Bomberman. The villain really came into his own in theanime series Bomberman Jetters, where he got his very own theme music—well, Jerry Seinfeld’s theme music, anyway. The 2002 series Bomberman Jetters follows the adventures of White…

King of Fighters has one of the most extensive and unique rosters in fighting games, owing in part to its origins as a crossover between SNK franchises like Fatal Fury and Art of Fighting. With dozens of playable characters introduced since the series’ inaugural 1994 release, fans can never really be sure which ones will…
