It feels like it’s been awhile since we had a good “One more thing…” announcement from a Nintendo presentation, which made the end of today’s Indie World Showcase all the more special. As the hosts were wrapping up, it seems their signal was interrupted, and viewers were presented…
While Konami isn’t quite the video game juggernaut it used to be, it still finds time to bring out games from time to time, and they’re usually on the smaller scale. Case in point, today’s Indie World presentation featured a look at an all new game from the studio, developed…
