PC gamers sit in front of 108 buttons, traditionally. It’s a fractured slab of inputs compared to the simple set of controls our friends on PlayStation or Switch are used to. And Microsoft, hot with AI fever, is dead set on adding another key to the next generation of keyboards. More than ever, it helps…
Harold Halibut is one of the more intriguing videogame ideas I’ve seen in a while.

Mario vs. Donkey Kong! Tomb Raider! Slave Zero X! The shortest month of the year is here… but it also might be one of the most-packed. February 2024 sees Nintendo’s next big remake land on the Switch, but this is the month of the retro throwback, and the eShop (and our shelves) will be bursting…

Reverse card. Today, 31st January, is National Backwards Day in North America (no, we didn’t know it was a thing either). It’s a day for doing things with a 180° twist, a quick Google told us, whether that’s wearing a shirt the wrong way round like the kids do — maybe? — or moonwalking over…
