Shikhondo: Youkai Rampage Soundtrack Sampler Shared
Movin and Groovin
What a shmup’ without some jamming tracks! Shikhondo: Youkai Rampage just dropped, and with it, they shared a selection of songs you can expect to hear in the game while blasting yokai! Check out the ten toe-tapping tracks above, and take a look at the game’s description below.
❀ ABOUT THE GAME ❀
❋ Continuing the long line of shoot’em up classics! Boasts unique and charming protagonists, a variety of bosses with bizarre and fantastical designs, and waves upon waves of enemies to keep players on their toes!
❋ The charm of Eastern fantasy! In reimagining the Youkai from Korean folktales and historical records from a new perspective, the game features inventive original characters drawn in an elegant fashion and a gripping story fully-voiced by professional voice actresses.
❋ Soul collection system Shikhondo: Youkai Rampage features a unique system called ‘Soul Collect’, where players can charge their ‘Soul Gauge’ as they avoid enemy bullets. It’s perilous, but the closer players stay to bullets, the faster their gauges charge!
Then, players can use their dodge to evade bullets for a moment! Nullify enemy attacks and shoot for a new high score!
❋ Various game modes! Play through the main story in Arcade mode, focus down the bosses in Boss Rush mode, or get double souls but lose in a single hit in Hardcore mode.
Shikhondo: Youkai Rampage also features a new Dual mode, a strategic single-player mode that allows switching between the two protagonists to match the circumstances players face!
In addition, the game has been reworked, adding new optional features and even a new stage!
Shikhondo: Youkai Rampage just launched today, so if you like what you hear, be sure to give it a look aswell!
Former Rockstar Dev Explains San Andreas’ Random Plane Crashes
Here we go again...
Have you ever experienced a seemingly random plane crash in GTA: San Andres? Well, now we have an explanation as to why those happen! Obbe Vermeij, a former developer for Rockstar who worked on the game’s planes may have the answer!
The tweet above is a great breakdown of just how the planes work. There were 3 big issues. First, when a plane is spawned, it checks for possible collisions, however, it can’t check for everything so a few smaller obstacles can slip through. Similarly, sometimes instead of an obstacle not being caught, it doesn’t load them in time. If neither of these causes a crash, sometimes the plane will just lose too much height.
The plane’s code seems much more complex than one might initially expect, leading the code to create “doomed flight paths”. Spooky!
Nintendo reveals cut content from Super Mario Bros. Wonder
Big head mode?
Mario Wonder is a massive game, with a staggering amount of unique content. So it’s no surprise that a lot was left out in the final release! Recently Nintendo held a panel going over some of this cut content, and some of it is really quite cool!
This cut wonder effect has been the star of the show so far, and it’s not just because we got a video. The above video shows Mario trading his traditional mustached face for a more built look. This new transformation is short-lived as some flying munchers want to chow down on every piece they can get their mouths on!
Here we see a few more cut wonder mechanics, with some that made it to functional in-game prototypes. Sadly it seems most never escaped their paper prison, however.
Nintendo’s developer panels are always quite interesting, as they give a peak behind the curtain that we normally don’t get. With the staggering amount of uniqueness present in Mario Wonder, its understandable that some stuff had to get cut. Hopefully, this isn’t the last we see of a few of these ideas, particularly the really mini Mario!

Cult of the Lamb Graphic Novel Funded Instantly on Kickstarter
The ritual was a success!
Cult of the Lamb was released to huge success back in 2022, and it looks like they are here to stay! Spinning out of the events of the game is Cult of the Lamb: The First Verse, the game’s first graphic novel. The book was funded in an unbelievable 6 minutes, so it’s pretty clear there’s a lot of demand!
The book seems to follow the events of the game, just with a little more lore to look forward to. Check out a description of what to expect below.
In a land pervaded by cruelty and evil, the most innocent among us – young Lamb, the last of their kind – was selected to become a final, dark sacrifice. Their death would forever seal the darkest of the Old Gods from our realm and usher in a new age ruled by the four eldritch Bishops of the Old Faith. So Lamb died… then forged a deal of their own.
At the crossroads of eternity, Lamb was met by the imprisoned deity known as The One Who Waits, who revealed the lies and distortions of the false prophets who rule the world above. And so, Lamb was bequeathed the power and responsibilities of the Red Crown and returned to the land of living with unholy powers to exact vengeance and deliver a new cult unto the Earth.
The Bishops of the Old Faith must fall … The disbelievers must be destroyed … And, as Lamb assembles their flock, a new master shall reign over creation!
Presenting all four issues of Oni Press’ upcoming CULT OF THE LAMB comic book series in one deluxe, 112-page collection from heretic-smashing creators Alex Paknadel and Troy Little, the hit Devolver Digital / Massive Monster video game is reborn as an all-new graphic novel exploring and expanding the second life of the sacrifice turned spiritual warlord known simply as Lamb.

New Samsung microSD card tech leads to more Switch successor speculation
A match made in Switch heaven?
Rumors about the Switch’s successor have been especially prevalent these last few days, and today brings us one of the most intriguing yet.
Very recently, Samsung revealed it’s latest line of Micro SD cards, which have some very impressive speeds and sizes. While this alone doesn’t seem to connect to a “Switch 2”, comments made by Samsung about this advancement very well could.
“For the first time in the industry, Samsung has introduced a new high-performance microSD card based on the SD Express interface. The development was the result of a successful collaboration with a customer to create a custom product.”
While there’s nothing concrete that could name Nintendo as the collaborator, the timing does lend itself to Switch successor speculation. One of the more prominent shortcomings of the standard Switch was it’s small internal memory size, and this new collaboration could fix that while increasing speed as well.
These new MicroSD cards are scheduled to release later this year, and will eventually reach sizes up to 1 TB, which certainly could be a welcome addition in a next-gen Switch. At the very least, let’s hope they are usable in whatever Nintendo comes up with!

Craft a Fishing Rod
You gotta have the right gear to get started, so let’s start with a Fishing Rod! There are four rarities you can craft. You’re more likely to pull in your catch with a higher-rarity Fishing Rod, but the lower-rarity ones are easier to make. Here’s how to craft each rarity!

Uncommon Fishing Rod (craftable at a Level 2 Crafting Bench) Unlock the recipe for the Uncommon Fishing Rod by adding a Knotroot Rod to your inventory. Rare Fishing Rod (craftable at a Level 3 Crafting Bench) Unlock the recipe for the Rare Fishing Rod by adding a Flexwood Rod to your inventory.

Fish Filets aren’t the only seafood you can eat. With a Grill, you can also make dishes like Smoked Fry Fish and Black and Blue Shieldfish Sushi!
Creating a Fishing Spot with a Bait Bucket
All you need to fish is a Fishing Rod and water. But fish are a slippery bunch, so don’t just cast your line and expect fish to flock. Throw bait into water to create a Fishing Spot!
Get bait from a Bait Bucket, which has four rarities you can craft. The rarer the bucket, the more likely you are to attract a fish:
Common Bait Bucket (craftable at a Food Processor) Unlock the recipe for the Common Bait Bucket by adding a Fish Filet to your inventory and having a Food Processor in the world.

Let the Compass Guide You!
It’s easy to forget which way you’re going in unless you open your map. But if you craft a Compass, you won’t need your map for that! The Compass adds basic navigation to the HUD, telling you which direction you’re facing. Unlock the recipe for a Compass by adding Glass to your inventory and having a Crafting Bench in your world. Then — you know where this is going — craft one at a Crafting Bench.
Want to add navigation AND map markers to your HUD? Then craft the Advanced Compass, whose recipe is unlocked the same way as the regular Compass.
