There’s no doubt that collecting all 900 Korok seeds in Nintendo’s open world adventure The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is one of the most daunting challenges to be implemented in a game in quite some time. Nevertheless, it seems as if the game’s developers had a reason for gifting Link a handful of feces for the feat. Following the Game Awards 2017, IGN had an interview with The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild director Hidemaro Fujibayashi, with the outlet asking why he and his team

In fact, one player dissatisfied with the developer’s design for the Infinite Forest decided to build a mock-up of the location to illustrate some refinements that could be made in the future. Although the assets in Pheonise’s clip look a bit rudimentary, it’s worth noting that he didn’t have the chance to work with Destiny 2‘s pre-existing code base. With that being the case, it’s definitely an impressive bit of work from a single developer mocking it all up in just two days. All things conside

2017 was an incredibly busy year for Bungie, with the launch of Destiny 2 along with the game’s first expansion pack, Curse of Osiris.

Not only does Ives believe that the Nintendo Switch is the best-selling video game console of 2017, but he also listed it among the top five best-selling tech products in general. According to Ives, the Switch was beaten out by the Apple Watch (20 million units sold), Amazon Echo Dot (24 million units sold), Samsung Galaxy S8 and Note 8 (33 million units

There’s a hack that allows those bold enough to play Super Mario 64 in first person. According to the user, all of the old tricks and abilities in Super Mario 64 work the same way, but will obviously require lots of practice. Mario 64 in first person is an interesting experiment that will surely garner some laughs — and possibly nausea — but will make it nigh impossible to acquire all 120 stars.

However, Epic Games and People Can Fly seem determined to sway any Guardians frustrated with the current state of Destiny 2–which seem to be many–with a well-placed ad for Fortnite that takes a harsh jab at the developer Bungie. As of yet, though, players have only received a vague nod that the feedback has been received. Taking all of this into account, while Fortnite‘s ad at the top of Destiny 2’s subreddit might be considered too savage by some, it’s ultimately savvy. Fortnite is available no

Details on the incident remain somewhat unclear at the time of this writing, but the sequence of events appears to be as follows. Teammates began arguing after losing a real money wager match in Call of Duty: WW2, and threatened each other with swatting. Police are still investigating the incident and the person who made the call has yet to be publicly identified.
