Regional rift. Welcome, folks, to another edition of Box Art Brawl! Last week, we checked out Mario Power Tennis for the GameCube and, as expected, the results weren’t even remotely close. With a much more interesting cover, Europe and North America easily won the day with 70% of the vote, leaving Japan to mop up…
Or you can run it at a “stable” 30fps. Koei Tecmo and developer Omega Force are bringing Dynasty Warriors: Origins to the Switch 2 next week. It was previously revealed the Musou would run at a fixed but “stable” 30fps on Nintendo’s new hybrid platform, and now that reviews have gone live, it’s been confirmed…

Hytale is finally playable after a legendary run through development hell, and it’s doing pretty well for itself, considering. It’s made a pretty penny already, enough to fund two years of further development, and crucially, it’s actually good. PC Gamer senior editor Christopher Livingston said in his impressions that the game “has a long road…
