UK Charts: Yoshi Flutter Jumps Onto The Podium As The Dark Knight Rises

Or should that be Batman Begins?Yesterday's bank holiday Monday meant that the UK charts are coming in a little later than expected this week, but here they are, and we've got a whole podium of newbies!Nintendo's latest managed to nab one of those podium spots, of course, with Yoshi and the Mysterious Book debuting in third. Forza Horizon 6 presented an unusually high ranking for Microsoft in second, but it wasn't enough to beat Mr. Vengeance himself, as LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight claimed the top spot.

'All You Need to Do Is Storm the Castle': Dawnwalker Director Stresses Player Choice in PS5 RPG

"Almost every quest in the game is like a side quest".Role-playing expectations for The Blood of Dawnwalker have been high ever since its announcement, primarily thanks to the fact that the game is being spearheaded by ex-Witcher 3 creatives.Up until now, developer Rebel Wolves has stressed the title's commitment to choice and consequence, but a new Game Informer interview arguably gives us our best insight yet, especially when it comes to understanding the team's approach to building a proper RPG.Read the full article on pushsquare.com

GameMill's Snoopy Game Has Been Hit With A Copyright Lawsuit

Pay peanuts.We don't remember the Snoopy storyline where Charlie Brown and co. end up in a legal copyright battle, but that's exactly what's happening at the moment. Lee Mendelson Film Productions (the owner of "certain intellectual property" related to the Peanuts IP) has issued a legal complaint against publisher GameMill, accusing the latter of copyright infringement in Snoopy & the Great Mystery Club's score.Okay, that's a lot to digest, and there's every chance you've never heard of Snoopy & the Great Mystery Club, so let's break it down. GameMill published the puzzle adventure game on the Switch eShop last year to relatively little fanfare. Seven months after release, it seems the Peanuts owner has noticed some familiar tunes in the game's score, and what do you know, those tunes were not licensed.Read the full article on nintendolife.com

Opinion: Yoshi And The Mysterious Book Completely Wastes Its Best Mechanic

This could have been an all-timer.I had a pretty decent time with Yoshi and the Mysterious Book. It’s a charming experience filled with wonder and imagination, but thanks to the repetitive, overly-simplified structure, that imagination is never afforded enough space to really shine.I tolerated this, however, and had a good time discovering the game’s many weird and wonderful creatures. Before I even started, I felt at peace with the knowledge that it would probably never reach the heights of Yoshi’s Island on the SNES (honestly, what can?), and so I enjoyed it for what it was.Read the full article on nintendolife.com

Talking Point: Do You Think We'll See PS6 & Project Helix In Action This Summer?

It's showcase season, where the new consoles at?!The end of May is nigh, which means summer showcase season is right around the corner. This time of year always brings loads of amazing new game reveals, but 2026 feels a little different, with next-gen consoles on the horizon. So, do you think we'll actually see either PS6 or Project Helix — or some of the games that'll be running on them — this summer?Honestly, we're not sure right now. If next-gen launches next year in earnest (and that's still a big if right now), it feels like we should start knowing a bit more about the hardware powering the next console cycle very soon. However, with global uncertainty still being a factor in what seems like everything right now, it feels as though these tech companies may opt to stay a little quieter until closer to launch this time around.Read the full article on purexbox.com
