6.6GB Thanks to a tip from a reader, I was able to log into my Japanese eShop account on Switch and take a gander at the listing forDonkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze— only to find out that the file size has been posted! According to the listing the Switch port is 6.6GB, which is roughly half the size of the Wii U original of 11.4GB. Compression ho! Japanese eShop users can pre-load the game now that the size has been posted, and we can only assume that the functionality will make its way across the world over time....

Developer Poncle released theDarkassoupdate forVampire Survivorsin the dead of night on July 23, 2025. As players slowly realized that new content had been added to the game, they delved through the new Darkanas and quickly realized they were completely broken in the best way possible. Provided they don’t crash your system. Vampire Survivors’ Darkassoupdateis a meaty one with a new challenge stage, relic, the aforementioned Darkanas, new character skins, and, of course,some additional surprises....

[Psst – Join the Destructoid Folding Group! #55789 ] Yesterday, PlayStation 3 firmware upgrade 1.6 finally went live and with itcame the awesome distributed-computing, disease-fighting power of Folding@home. If you aren’t reading Slashdot daily, you might have glossed over this wholeFolding@homephenomenon, so allow me to spell it out for you; Folding@home is a program that links hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of computers all over the world together so that all of the spare, idle processor cycles that would normally go to waste while you’re bathing, sleeping or masturbating can be better used to help scientists study how amino acids “fold” within the human body, thus granting insight into diseases caused by this process going haywire, such as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, Parkinson’s and Pacman Fever....

I like where this is going One of the more frustrating aspects of Steam Greenlight is its approval system, which gives games the go-ahead far too infrequently given the sheer amount of quality software vying for attention. Seemingly addressing this issue, Valve has approved four more titles today:Edge of Space,Papers, Please,Venetica, andSubstance Designer 3. Based on the announcement post, this smaller, more agile process will likely become the norm. “These titles were selected on the same criteria we have been using in the past: Votes in Greenlight give us a hugely valuable point of data in gauging community interest along with external factors such as press reviews, crowd-funding successes, performance on other platforms, and awards and contests to help form a more complete picture of community interest in each title....

Keep in mind thatthe DLCis only free for two weeks, at which point they’ll revert to $4.99 each. Even if you don’t own the game, log into the PSN and download the license to the DLC anyways....

Maybe just call it? Europe’s biggest video game convention, Gamescom, is currently still scheduled to go ahead in Cologne, Germany this summer, despite the many,manyindustry events that have been forced to either alter or completely cancel their plans due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. As noted in an official press release, Gamescom has not yet made a decision on whether to cancel its physical trade show, which saw almost 400,000 visitors gather in 2019 to catch a glimpse at the latest and greatest games the world’s publishers had to offer....

Today is the first real morning after a full day of GDC goodness. Because of that (and because we at Dtoid like to do things a bit different), I thought I’d do morning after wrap-ups of some of the more interesting stuff encountered throughout the previous day and night. My Microsoft Monday morning after pills: •Fable 2: If what is to be believd comes true, then we got a no brainer, real big hit on our hands....

This is my kind of game! [The beta is live now, so take a key!] We’re hosting a giveaway for a ton of beta keys forMorphies Law. Come take one! Hey, now this is more like it! I dig things that are out there, and I think Morphies Law definitely fits that bill. After all, who doesn’t love weird morphing Dia de los Muertos skeletons? If you don’t, you’ve come to the wrong place....

Time of day can be a surprisingly important factor inWarframe. There are a lot of resources that you will only be able to get at certain times, especially on Earth. There are specific plants that are only available on Earth, and they will appear during the day or night. You will also need to know when it is night to be able to hunt the mighty Eidolons that roam the Plains near Cetus....

TheEA FC 24Euro Throwback objective is certainly one of the more difficult sets of challenges to complete, as the instructions aren’t stated explicitly. Instead, you’ll have to decrypt a bunch of available clues and try to figure out how to solve them using the right cards in Ultimate Team. While it might feel gritty at first, completing the set is easy once you know what the solutions for the clues are....
