Once activated, the Nintendo mascot glides through the air with a perpetual up/down motion....

Plus, Soulcalibur VI and CrossCode Make no mistake about it:I was very down onFallout 76when it launched. Balance issues, inventory tedium, bugs galore, and an experience that just didn’t feel much likeFallout— it added up to a game that I didn’t want to play. I was certainly far from alone in that sentiment. Since then, things have slowly turned around. Some quality of life changes here, a lot of technical fixes there, and suddenly people say it’s something of an enjoyable game....

I’m currently watching the Ubisoft E3 press conference, and ever since Mr Caffine showed up, it’s turned into some sort of mind bending, nightmarish twilight zone. I’m not sure where I am or what I’m doing. That’s why I can’t way with 100% confidence that what I think I’m reading is accurate. Still, it’s my job to report. According to what my brain believes to be true about my external reality, the next game in Ubisoft’s Kinect focused fitness series, Your Shape: Fitness Evolved 2012 is coming out in November 2011....
