The New York Times is being hazed by game dev social media over what I can only describe as one of the most naive articles about AI I’ve ever seen. The pointing and laughing is happening on BlueSky, among other places, over a paragraph that claims generative AI is being embraced by the videogame industry,…
The company has promised to issue replacements for affected devices. Since the Retroid Pocket Flip 2 was released a few months ago, there have been an increasing number of reports online about the hinges on the emulation device developing small hairline cracks after only a short period of use, throwing into question the durability of…
PEW PEW. Luxury watch maker Nubeo has form when it comes to video game collaborations – it has already produced Asteroids and Space Invaders timepieces – and its latest product revisits the former in a slightly different way. While the Ventana Automatic celebrated the 45th anniversary of Asteroids’ arcade release, the Console Automatic is focused…

Here’s what’s included. Nintendo’s been updating games non-stop since the Switch 2 arrived in June and following multiple other updates this week, we’ve now got another patch for Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury. This bumps this Switch title up to Version 1.2.1 and follows on from a Switch 2 game update at the…
Looking good. Nintendo has been busy this week with all sorts of updates, and yesterday it released Mario Paint for Switch Online’s Super Nintendo app. More details about this latest update have now emerged, and apart from being able to remap the buttons in this specific library, it seems the CRT filter on this app…
A good gaming headset has to be one of the most surprisingly significant upgrades to my setup. I still remember the first time I went from gaming on a cheap included headset to getting a decent pair of cans, and was astounded by the difference.
