According to a statement issued by Nintendo to Polygon, the edited scene in question has to do with a character who is attracted to the same gender in Fire Emblem Fates. While it’s not the first time that a same-sex relationship has occurred in the Fire Emblem series, it’s the matter in which that this one is handled. Nintendo had this to say: The scene in question involves the male playable character putting a ‘magic powder’ in the drink of Soleil, a female party member....

While the first Fire Emblem Warriors was met with a lukewarm response, Three Hopes has the chance to fix its issues. The game looks to be launching with more strategically minded mechanics and map objectives, as well as improving on its original character protagonist. Players will take control of Shez, a new mercenary hired in place of Three Houses’ Byleth. Byleth is not gone, however, and will meet Shez as the Ashen Demon, contrasting Shez’s enthusiasm with quiet stoicism....

“I have always tried to perform well in order to get chances to represent my country. But unfortunately, I have not got many opportunities. I guess it is destiny - some get their break early while others have to wait for quite long. That is part of life, part of the game. The only thing in my hands is to perform consistently well and that is what I am trying to do,” Pankaj was quoted as saying by mid-day....

Now, that fury is bubbling over into an open rage. On Wednesday, the Times’s Peter Kilborn sent out a blistering e-mail to more than a dozen colleagues and the two top editors on the national desk. “Bragg’s comments in defense of his reportorial routines are outrageous,” Kilborn wrote. “I hope there is some way that we as correspondents, alone or with the support of the desk, can get the word out there, within The Times and outside, that we do not operate that way....

Two weeks ago, Flying Wild Hog introduced Hard Reset to the world with a pretty CGI trailer and some screenshots but today is the first time we get to see this high-paced shooter in action. Seeing a game built for the PC, only releasing on the PC, is a welcome phenomenon nowdays since most franchises have gone the way of the consoles. And no one can deny that when games make the jump from PC to consoles, they suffer from the inevitable but undeniable “dumbing down....

[HTML1] The odds may have been stacked against South Park: The Stick of Truth when it was first announced, following the impressions set by what felt like an endless march of underwhelming adaptations of the animated Comedy Central series. But with the game first announced by series creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone as “not terrible,” and the first looks at the story and style actually promising, fans had reason to hope....

The next, you’re one bad loss away from losing your job. Welcome to the world of Bo Pelini, the Nebraska coach, who after seven years of consistently staying ahead of the pink slip, might not make it past this season in Lincoln.

Toy manufacturer Hasbro confirmed a limited edition set of the table-top game would be released with the 22 players wearing Arsenal and Chelsea colours to commemorate this weekend’s clash. The iconic Subbuteo box has also been given a makeover with female players now taking centre stage on the packaging. Marzena Bogdanowicz, the FA’s head of marketing and commercial for women’s football, said: “This new, all-female Subbuteo set is a reflection of the rapid growth that women’s football is seeing in the UK right now....

The Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS)—the largest single mass of ice on Earth, covering about 98 percent of the southern continent—is currently losing mass. And the rate at which this mass loss is contributing to sea-level rise is increasing. The AIS is encircled by floating, sea-based ice shelves that surround the continent and help hold the land-based ice shelves in place. Data has shown that in recent years, these floating ice shelves that surround the AIS are thinning—likely as a result of ocean warming or changes in ocean circulation....

Starting today, Xbox One owners who have an active subscription to Xbox Live Gold can get their hands on the indie darling, Celeste, at no additional cost, with the platformer from Matt Makes Games being available for free all month long. The very same fans can also obtain the isometric action-adventure game Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light right now and play via Backward Compatibility.

Set in the magical, medieval world of Valisthea, Final Fantasy 16 marks a return to the series’ traditional staples such as feudal kingdoms built around powerful crystals. In this game, the crystals are referred to as mothercrystals and stave away an unknown force of darkness referred to as Blight. Additionally, these feudal kingdoms—or realms as Square Enix refers to them—possess people known as Dominants who harbor Eikons—powerful spirits who will be familiar to any franchise fan as the series’ iconic summoned creatures....

When Final Fantasy 16 showed off its combat, it was impressive—seeming like an impressive combination of Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Final Fantasy 15. There was one major change to this combat that many fans may have picked up on early: Clive was alone. A vast majority of Final Fantasy games revolve around parties and job systems, like the recent Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin, but Final Fantasy 16 could be breaking away from this and it should....

While the first three 2D Remasters in the mega-popular franchise were released on the same day, Final Fantasy 4 Pixel Remaster is the only game in the series releasing on September 8. There is still no news on when the final two entries are coming.

The Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster was announced earlier this month during the SQUARE ENIX PRESENTS summer showcase at E3. In this series of individually sold games, Final Fantasy 1 through Final Fantasy 6 are being painstakingly updated for Steam and mobile devices. Unfortunately, many of the series’ enhancements are still unknown, but recently released screenshots show examples of the Pixel Remaster’s updated 16-bit artystyle. Some of these games are already available on Steam and mobile, and as such, Square Enix needs to make room for the Pixel Remaster....

For those unfamiliar, Final Fantasy 7: The First Soldier is a free-to-play battle royale game that is currently available for Android and iOS devices. Being a part of the Final Fantasy franchise, the game is loaded with quirks, with cute Chocobos as an additional mode of transportation instead of just the usual selection of utility vehicles and motorcycles. Interestingly, these Chocobos also play a crucial role in the latest Egg Hunter event....

Jenova’s crucial role is easy to gloss over; it takes many different forms throughout the story so it can be hard to keep track of what is Jenova and what is not. While Jenova is generally described as a character in the Final Fantasy 7 universe, it’s not even a character in the traditional sense. Jenova has no character arc, no lines apart from when it’s being used by Sephiroth, and no drive except to destroy everything....

Sephiroth is one of the bosses from the Final Fantasy series who is easily a fan favorite, appearing in multiple games and even off-shoot games such as the Kingdom Hearts series. As such, it’s quite obvious why Sephiroth would be more prominent in Final Fantasy 7 Remake’s story, given that he also has a large influence over Cloud. As Final Fantasy 7 Remake only takes place during Midgar, a sliver of the original game’s story, not having Sephiroth included in some fashion in such a large game might make it feel less impactful for fans....

Just like her fellow Final Fantasy 7 female supporting character Tifa Lockhart, there have been many Aerith fans who show off their admiration by dressing up as the iconic flower girl. The internet is well-populated with Aerith cosplays, especially now that the game has been remastered with better visuals, and access to next-generation consoles. This gives models and crafters a more precise look into the outfit’s details and accessories that low-resolution graphics of the original PS title could not provide before....

So of course the reduction of this quartet to a couple presents to us a championship game through which the very origin of the sport runs in a direct line: from the inventor of the game, James Naismith, who brought the product of his genius to the Kansas plains just seven years after its founding and became the school’s first coach, to Dean Smith, who played at KU on the school’s 1952 championship team, began his coaching career as a Jayhawks assistant and then became an assistant at North Carolina before being promoted to head coach in 1961 and pushing forward a variety of strategic revolutions....
