Nintendo is publishing a pair of youth-oriented 3DS games in North America later this year to spur sales of its 2DS system, which will drop in price to $80 starting on May 20.

New on Nintendo’s publishing schedule are English-language versions of the 3DS games Style Savvy: Fashion Forward and Disney Magical World 2, both of which previously debuted in Japan.

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.

“Players can immerse themselves in a world of fashion by owning a boutique, designing clothes,Wednesday. “When players make themselves look good, customers who visit their boutiques might start adopting the player’s style. The game includes over 19,000 different articles of clothing, items and accessories to choose from. Players can also learn real-world fashion tips from the Fashion 101 guide.”

Fashion Forward also includes support for Nintendo’s amiibo toys, and players can unlock special in-game items by scanning specific figures.

Disney Magical World 2, slated for release in North America this fall, is an Animal Crossing-inspired adventure game for the 3DS developed by Bandai Namco. The game includes six Disney-themed worlds filled with familiar characters, including a wintry setting based on Disney’s 2013 animated film Frozen.

Style Savvy: Fashion Forward will launch at retail and via the 3DS eShop on August 19. Disney Magical World 2 premieres on October 14.

How to mine Silver in Hades 2

Art for Nemesis in hades 2.

Silver is one of the most important resources you can find in Hades 2. Unlike most others that drop after clearing a room, this precious metal must be mined from deposits around the map, leading to the question of how you can gather it. You may come across a glowing stone with the "Collect?" prompt, only to be told you cannot gather it without a special tool. That tool is none other than the Crescent Pick, but unlocking it is a bit obscure. It won't take you many runs to get what you need, so just follow our lead so you can start collecting Silver to make new weapons with.

Silver deposits will pop up around the environment as you navigate the randomly generated rooms, so you will need to keep an eye out for these glowing silver rocks. To gather that sweet material, you first need to unlock and acquire the Crescent Pick, which takes two steps.

All Rockstar video games: full list of developed and published games

Michael from Grand Theft Auto V.

It might seem like a boastful name, but Rockstar Games really are rockstars in the gaming world. The developer is responsible for arguably the most important and lucrative gaming franchise of all time with the Grand Theft Auto series. While the open-world crime series is what the studio is best known for, it has dipped its toes into a wide range of genres and styles as a publisher since its first game in 1997. While the studio's output has certainly slowed, with an over eight-year gap between Red Dead Redemption 2 and GTA 6, there's a backlog of over 40 games in its portfolio. That's a lot of history to digest, but it's important to understand the entire scope before we decide which games are the best.

Originally called DMA Design, Rockstar has been developing and publishing games since 1997 and shows no sign of stopping any time soon. Not counting any remasters or rereleases, here is every game Rockstar has developed and published. We split this list based on whether a studio with Rockstar in the name developed or co-developed the game in question.

I want more approachable Soulslikes. These new games show that it’s possible

Stellar Blade STALKER fight.

One of my favorite copypastas on the internet comes from someone complaining about a player using mods to make a FromSoftware game easier. "You cheated not only the game, but yourself," it reads. "You didn't grow. You didn't improve. You took a shortcut and gained nothing. You experienced a hollow victory. Nothing was risked and nothing was gained. It's sad that you don't know the difference."

The infamous post was made in response to a PC Gamer article about mods that made Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice more approachable for the writer. It's funny to see someone get that angry over another's personal experience with a game they own, but it also addresses a question that's loomed over the gaming community ever since Dark Souls took the world by storm: Should FromSoftware's games and the Soulslikes inspired by them have options to make them more accessible?
