The 10 Best Sonic Games

-

Few video game characters are as iconic as Sonic the Hedgehog. The speedy little blue blur has been around for over three decades, touching every corner of pop culture along the way, from games, to comics, to TV, to blockbuster movies. But we’re here specifically to celebrate the mainline Sonic game series and pick the best of them. Before we start, let’s quickly touch upon our criteria. We tried to rank these games based on a combination of historical significance, innovation, and how well these games stand the test of time. Some games, like Sonic Adventure 1 and the original Sonic the Hedgehog, for instance, are obviously super important to the Sonic series and set the foundation for both 2D and 3D Sonic games to follow, but we felt like they both didn’t quite hold up as well as their sequels when judged by a modern standard, which was why they just missed this list. The 10 games on this list are the ones we feel are the best examples of both classic and modern Sonic style. So w...

Nintendo Works to Fix Game-Breaking Paper Mario Issue

-
Nintendo has promised to fix a game-breaking issue in Paper Mario: The Origami King that can keep players from progressing through the story. Light location spoilers for Paper Mario: The Origami King follow. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/05/14/paper-mario-the-origami-king-announcement-trailer"] On Mario and Olivia's journey to the last streamer in The Origami King, players have to collect four stamps for their Spring of Rainbows VIP card in the Shangri-Spa area. After you collect all four stamps from four different hot springs, you gain access to a secret fifth hot spring. However, once you enter the fifth hot spring, the Spring of Rainbows, you lose your VIP pass. And, the other four hot springs will not give Mario a second stamp, meaning it's impossible to regain the VIP pass after you've already used it. If you try to re-enter the Spring of Rainbows, Mario will once again be asked to show his VIP pass. So, if you leave the Spring of Rainbows b...

First Look: Concept Art for Monster Hunter Rise's Somnacanth and Aknosom Weapons and Armor

-

In addition to today’s IGN FIRST feature, where Monster Hunter Rise Director Yasunori Ichinose explains how the Nintendo Switch entry will make the series even more approachable to new players, we have one more surprise for you! We are proud to exclusively reveal some of the concept art for Rise’s Somnacanth and Aknosom weapons and armor. Check them out in the gallery below!

[widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=monster-hunter-rise-concept-art-somnacanth-and-aknosom-armor-weapons&captions=true"]

There is an obvious Japan-inspired setting for home base Kamura Village and the mission maps, while many of the new monsters are inspired by Yokai, or ghosts and spirits from Japanese folklore. However, Ichinose tells us that the game’s equipment design has also been inspired by a wide range of cultures outside of Japan too.

Take for example the Aknosom armor and helmet, whose designs were obviously derived from Western knights. However, Ichinose tells us that the people of Kamura Village have implemented their own culture into this armor as well. Take a close look, and you might notice that the material of the armor is textured like folded origami paper, blending Western design with Japanese traditional textiles.

The Somnacanth armor was inspired by Middle-Eastern fortune-tellers and assassins. The hood creates a mysterious atmosphere, and Ichinose explains that the glowing blue parts are a key feature of the Somnacanth’s design.

Ichinose also tells us that while weapons returning from World will follow the designs from that game, all of the ones based on new monster materials have been designed individually so that they stand apart more than before.
