Totally bananas! If you look back on its development now, Monkey Ball is a game that seemed perfectly suited for the Sega Dreamcast. Not only was it developed using the Sega NAOMI arcade hardware (a system that shared a lot of the same architecture as the Dreamcast), but it also seemed to share the bright,…
Admittedly, I’ve been feeling pretty dour about the whole handheld gaming PC thing lately, but I do still love having the option to take big games on the go. What I love a lot less is just how chunky modern handhelds have to be in order to contain and cool all of their internal hardware….
Plus new DLC is announced. Bandai Namco has announced that Once Upon a Katamari will be making its way to the Switch 2 later this year on 8th October 2026. As to be expected with the new release, players can expect improved resolution and higher frame rates. Mouse controls have also been added in which…
18 months after release, Capcom is slashing the price on Monster Hunter Wilds and discontinuing three of its bundles in favour of… three different bundles. Okay, cool. The change is coming in starting from August 3 or August 4, depending on where you are in the world. For the bundles, it seems like a little…
You say you want an Evolution. Frontier Developments (RollerCoaster Tycoon, LostWinds, Planet Zoo) is bringing Jurassic World Evolution 2 to Switch 2 in Complete Edition form on 30th July. The follow-up to Jurassic World Evolution: Complete Edition, which launched on Switch back in 2020, this second entry in the park-planning and dino-management series is following…
Dock ‘n’ Go. I have always had a huge fondness for the Game Boy. I can say that it lead to my lifelong love of gaming when I first clapped eyes on my classmate Ben’s brand new DMG-01 in 1990. Battery powered, gaming on the go, interchangeable cartridges… it couldn’t get better, could it? Sure,…
It’s an unfortunate rite of passage nowadays for popular indie games to have their concept taken from them by ripoffs that are devoid of any real creativity. The latest casualty? Meccha Chameleon, which has now been pilferred by copycats across Steam, Fortnite, and Roblox. The most egregious example, and the one that brought this to…
Hot off the news that repair shops have gained access to leaked internal Nvidia tools to gather RTX 50-series hotspot data, CPUID’s HWMonitor has added its own hotspot thermal tracking info in the latest update. Version 1.65 adds two hotspot sensor data rows within the graphics card column for RTX 50-series cards, right underneath the…
‘Hercules no eikou II Taitan no metsubou’ is also coming to Console Archives. Taito’s 1988 dragon-based shooting game Syvalion is heading to modern consoles this week, as part of Arcade Archives and Arcade Archives 2, Hamster has revealed. Developed by a team that included the Bubble Bobble creator Fukio Mitsuji, Syvalion was famous for including…
The lack of a Grand Theft Auto 6 PC port at launch is a sore spot for those of us faithful to the ol’ mouse and keyboard. Sure, it’s not new for Rockstar to prioritise console over PC (it’s got a marketing deal with Sony, after all), especially with new game launches, but I thought…
