The third entry in Nintendo’s Style Savvy series, Fashion Forward puts players in charge of a fashion boutique, where they must gauge customer tastes and develop color-matching and coordination skills in order to craft ideal outfits. The previous game in the series, Style Savvy: Trendsetters, hit the 3DS in North America in 2012, and the original Style Savvy game recently premiered as a Wii U Virtual Console title.

Nintendo notes that players can pick up real-world fashion tips by playing Fashion Forward and mastering its outfit-designing mechanics.

EA turned down a Dead Space 4 pitch from the series’ creators

dead space interview gunner wright issac clarke flying through machinery in remake

After last year's excellent Dead Space remake, fans had hopes that EA would bring back the classic, sci-fi-inspired horror franchise for a new release. When Dead Space 2 didn't see a remake, word came out that EA had pumped the brakes on the series for the moment. Now, an interview with series co-creator Glen Schofield confirms the news we've all feared: Dead Space has likely gone the way of the dodo.

In an interview with Dan Allen Gaming, three Dead Space devs told the story of a Dead Space 4 pitch they had made to EA. The company turned it down. While disappointed, the devs seemed to take it in stride. "The industry is in a weird place right now, and people are hesitant to take chances on things," Christopher Stone said. "Take it with a grain of salt. Who knows? Maybe one day. I think we'd all love to do it."

Fortnite skins are some of the most sought-after cosmetic items in any Battle Royale title, and thousands of skins have been released in the game to date. Among those, certain skins hold the mantle of being some of the rarest skins that the community hasn't seen since they were first released. Some of these date as far back as 2019 and haven't been brought back to the shop for over five years.

However, Epic just changed that with two of the rarest Fortnite skins and has brought them back unexpectedly, which has caused a divide in the community. The skins are Aerial Assault Trooper and Renegade Raider, which are one again available in Fortnite for players to get after eight long years.
