Kotaku’s 19-minute Silent Hill: Townfall gameplay trailer drops Simon on the foggy Scottish island of St. Amelia in 1996, where a handheld CRT TV doubles as a monster radar and objective guide, and the house’s power is restored with a prepaid electricity card—a detail tied to real UK billing practices—while the demo raises questions about Simon’s IV, the organ container, and what the town’s malevolent energy company is really up to, with the game arriving September 24.

This Kotaku guide bundles 12 practical tips for Mortal Shell 2, from enabling auto-pickup for coins and choosing shells early (Tiel and Proxima) to managing finite Glimpses, using consumables as passives, and leveraging beacons, Sheephead Totem, Slayer Seal for easy mode, and Night mode for tougher play; it also highlights Tarstones, weapon drops, and a strong early grinding spot to level up.
Madden NFL 27 nails the field with tight, satisfying gameplay—featuring a sharper running game, realistic animations, and a new catch meter—while its big Franchise and Ultimate Team changes land unevenly. The Persona Engine adds personality and negotiation drama but its logic remains opaque and salary/draft management is flawed; Free Agent Frenzy underdelivers, and the career-focused Superstar mode feels monetization‑heavy and offline-focused. Ultimate Team brings evolutions and captain mechanics that boost customization but deepen the grind and meta-chasing. Overall, strong on-field action, but the coaching/GM experiences and progression systems don’t yet reach their potential.
Insomniac says there’s no lore reason for Wolverine’s suit to heal—it’s a practical choice to avoid him running around naked for long missions, balancing gameplay with a cinematic feel. The studio notes that while suits do take damage and are visually reflected, damage isn’t permanent, and blood particle effects plus water wash-offs add realism as fights progress.

Shigeru Miyamoto tells Famitsu that players care less about hardware specs and more about unique Nintendo gameplay, highlighting the Switch’s longevity and Nintendo’s strategy of delivering experiences that only it can create across a single architecture.
Necromunda: Skirmish introduces a cleaner, faster ruleset that preserves the hive-city narrative while expanding options: gangers gain eight specialisations with a free starting skill, you can recruit more Brutes and Hangers-on (within gang balance), and Leaders/Champions/Gangers/Prospects can equip any gear from the Trading Post. New end-of-battle sequences streamline upkeep between games; combat updates place close combat in initiative order, limit attacks unless activated, require Firepower checks only for high-fire or malfunctioning weapons, and give every fighter a Save stat. Scenarios are deck-generated and territory rules grant boons and battlefield effects (such as Toxic Vats), all aiming for more variety and quicker play. The Necromunda: Skirmish core set goes on pre-order soon, with new lore and miniatures teased as part of the rollout.
In a Famitsu interview, Shigeru Miyamoto argues that modern players aren’t chasing hardware specs; they want to be able to play software on the device they own. He points to Nintendo’s Switch as an example of successful hybrid play, notes the console lasted 8–9 years, and stresses Nintendo’s focus on unique gameplay and a streamlined development environment (single architecture) over chasing power.
