What’s next? FOUR Houses?? Here’s a take that feels colder and colder the further away we get from release: I preferred Fire Emblem Engage to Three Houses. Insubordination of the highest degree to some, for sure, but I’m a combat-first boi — I’ll take a Weapons Triangle over a love triangle every day of the…
The NAMCO LEGENDARY 2026 SALE has officially kicked off. One common complaint we see on a lot of our Arcade Archives-related stories is that the price of the games can sometimes be slightly higher than some people are willing to spend, especially for many of the simpler, much older titles. If that sounds like something…
I’ve only recently upgraded to an OLED monitor, but let me tell ya, I wish I’d done it sooner. This thing is gorgeous. Though it’s only recently we’ve seen prices really plummet for these excellent panels, which might go some way to explaining why sales are through the roof right now. According to analyst firm…

It sure looks like that’s set to happen soon, as one Redditor just posted the motherlode of information on the unreleased pad—then their account mysteriously vanished and the thread was partially wiped…
Can you shadow drop in zero-G? Adding to Switch 2’s ever-growing list of “huh, neat!” ports, Rockfish Games has this week announced Everspace 2: Galactic Edition, and it’s available right now. After launching on PC back in 2023 (where it pulled in an impressive 81 Metascore), this one arrived as a surprise Switch 2 shadow…
There’s a problem with new technologies, in that cutting-edge technology develops quickly—in the span of years. Meanwhile, us human beings with our wet flesh bodies and our complicated bureaucracies and legal systems are glacially slow. You can see this playing out with generative AI.
