Could probably bring down a beast with his fists.

Whether you’re open to the idea of it or not, a live-action movie based on Capcom’s insanely popular video game franchise Monster Hunter is currently in the works. So far we’ve got glimpses of multiple characters from the movie and even some animations of the monsters that will be on display throughout it.

In the latest update, we get a look of Milla Jovich as the movie’s heroine Natalie Artemis and also our first glimpse of a hunter, played by Tony Jaa – the famous martial artist and stuntman from Thailand. Jaa’s character is wielding a Giant Jawblade and a Great Hunter’s Bow. According to IGN, his costume patterns are based on the Field Team Leader from the recently released Monster Hunter World game. Milla’s character is carrying a pair of Dual Blades, a carving knife and slinger on her left arm. Take a look below:

No word on a local release.

No, not that one.

A 39-year-old man located in Japan has been arrested by police for selling modded Super Famicom Classic Mini consoles to three individuals in online net auctions. According to a report by Asahi via Nintendo Soup, the man added a total of five games to each of the modified systems and then resold them for approximately 61,500 yen. One of the games on the systems was reportedly Super Mario Bros.

We hope nobody thinks this offender is related to Nintendo’s very own Shigeru Miyamoto, as the man who has now been now been charged for infringing the copyright of Nintendo and four other companies is known as Tomoyuki Miyamoto. Yep, his last name is Miyamoto and he happened to be selling modded Super Famicom Classic Mini. We can’t help but wonder what the legendary video game designer and producer Shigeru Miyamoto thought about this. We hope he had a chuckle about it, at least.

Become a space ninja today.

After a few minor hiccups going live, the third-person free-to-play title Warframe is now out on the Nintendo Switch. This version of the game has been handled by port experts Panic Button and was originally developed and published by Canada’s Digital Extremes. It originally started out life on PC in 2013. Much like other F2P titles on Switch, this one won’t require a membership.

As we have previously explained, this online action game is set in an evolving sci-fi world and gives players the chance to master the ‘Warframe’ armour as the enigmatic Tenno – a race of ancient warriors who are awakened from centuries of cryo-sleep by the mysterious guide, Lotus. The title features 36 unique Warframes, hundreds of weapons, thousands of customisation options and upgrades, a flexible mod system, and the ability to join clans, nurture pets, and explore massive new open worlds.

Bump and grind.

Collidalot is one of those games that screenshots rarely do justice. Not because it’s particularly striking to look at, but because still images simply fail to capture the sheer chaos and intensity of its vehicular showdowns. Even a trailer fails to do the job. This is a game you really need to play with friends, bunched up in front of the TV, with a Joy-Con in hand and plenty of sweat running down your brow.

In its purest form, Collidalot is local multiplayer battle arena game that’s just downed a crate of Red Bull. Think of it as a cross between Destruction Derby, Micro Machines and the Tony Hawk Pro-Skater series. Sounds like a ridiculous combination of reference points, right? And you’d be correct in that conclusion, but somehow indie studio Grunka Munka Games has taken these inspirations, thrown them into the melting pot and produced something quite unique.

A slump in sales.

The French-based publisher Ubisoft has offered ongoing support for the Switch, courtesy of special collaborations bringing together its own franchises and Nintendo’s famous IP. Despite Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle becoming the highest selling third-party game on the system and shifting more than two million copies, the overall game sales for Ubisoft on Nintendo’s platform compared to other devices continues to be a small percentage.

Make the Switch today.

Here’s an interesting video that is sure to fuel rumours about a possible Switch revision. Nintendo’s American YouTube account has uploaded a step-by-step video walkthrough explaining how users can transfer data from one Switch to another and also format their system in preparation for trade-in or sale.

The safe bet is this video is targeted towards anyone who might be upgrading to the recently released Diablo: III Eternal Collection and Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Let’s Go, Eevee! Switch bundles this holiday season. As can be seen above, the clip explains how to backup compatible games on the paid cloud service and then goes onto the finer points about transferring data across to a new system. It also worth noting how it shows data being traded from an original system to a Pokémon-themed one.

A double dose of ninja action.

As the video game industry moves towards an all-digital future, a handful of companies have begun to specialise in physical video game distribution. It’s got to the point where even the smallest digital titles are now being released in physical form.

The 1985 8-bit stealth action-adventure game Saboteur! – a 200MB title released on the eShop at the start of this month – will be receiving a physical release. That’s not all, though. The sequel Saboteur II: Avenging Angel will also receive a separate physical edition for Switch. This particular game isn’t even available on the eShop yet. Here’s the tweet confirming the ninja-themed releases:

Back from the dead.

Following Telltale’s demise, some of its existing projects continue to live on through Skybound Games. The company recently issued an update on its website, revealing “a ton” of logistical and legal issues have finally been sorted out and development on The Walking Dead: The Final Season has officially started up again. Here’s the full statement:

Thank you for your patience while we worked with Telltale to take control of TELLTALE’S THE WALKING DEAD. It’s been a ton of work logistically and legally to get us to a place where we’re able to roll up our sleeves and get to the actual work. After Telltale had to stop development on The Walking Dead, the game was, unfortunately, unable to be worked on and hence the release dates of Episodes 3 and 4 have been delayed. But, we’re excited to let you know that many of the talented, passionate team members who originally worked on the game are resuming development efforts today!
