-

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...

Blaseball, an Absurdist Cult Favorite, Is Officially Ending

-

Blaseball, the horror fantasy baseball game that gained a cult following, is officially ending after a turbulent hiatus.

Today, in a post on Medium, Blaseball makers The Game Band announced that Blaseball is not going ahead with the Coronation Era, its current iteration, as planned and is instead ending permanently. The Game Band, which also faced layoffs, attributed Blaseball's ending to a lack of financial sustainability.

"We are making the decision to end it here instead of changing Blaseball into something unrecognizable," the post reads. "Part of this loss is many of our incredible team members. Our team size has to change to give us enough runway to even begin to make something new. We are losing so many good people, and we will miss them terribly. They changed the game, literally."

In the post, The Game Band pledged to support employees affected by layoffs and discussed Blaseball's impact. Released during the height of the pandemic in July 2020, it gained a loyal following and inspired quite a few fanmade works of art.

"To Fans of Blaseball, who have cheered and cried with us, who watched Suns die and Eras pass, who have defied the Gods and death itself, who have been with us through the end of the world as we knew it and then what came after: thank you," the post continues. "It has been one of the great joys of our lives to make Blaseball for you, and we will grieve its loss like everything else — together."

Blaseball initially went on hiatus in 2021 after its lore quickly expanded, which culminated in a black hole swallowing every player to give the game a clean slate. The game returned in January 2023, though it quickly went on another hiatus less than a month later after its new format received mixed feedback. Blaseball was slated to return in the spring.
