“Artificial intelligence tools were NOT used in the creation of this patch”. A new English fan translation has just dropped for the Japanese-exclusive PlayStation role-playing game, London Seirei Tantei-Dan, from Bandai. Focusing on a slingshot-wielding orphan boy who is recruited off the street to become an assistant to a famous detective, London Seirei Tantei-Dan (or…
Nvidia hasn’t been just a gaming-focussed company for a fair few years now, dining well off of the booming AI industry. AMD, one of its main rivals, is much the same, with the company feasting on the data centre segment in particular this past quarter.

Even older entries find a way. It is hard to imagine a better fit for a real-time-strategy simulator than Jurassic Park.

However, those on Switch might notice that the game has already beamed its way off the eShop, so you’re no longer able to purchase it. Announced via a community post on Steam (thanks,…
“Enter the vector battlefield…”. We’ve known since late last year that Numskull Design were planning to turn Atari’s revolutionary “3D” arcade cabinet, Battlezone, into a 1/4-scale machine as part of its Quarter Arcades series. However, something that almost completely slipped past us was that pre-orders actually open up later this week, on August 7th, 2026….
During my exclusive hands-on with Onimusha: Way of the Sword at Capcom’s HQ in Osaka, I sat down with the game’s audio director, Shunichi Suwa, to talk about how the music, environmental and character audio, as well as weapon sound effects were designed. And, for a game that has a huge focus on duelling with…
Time to get excited. Japanese “collaborative fashion” company SuperGroupies has produced a trio of watches based on classic Sega hardware (thanks, Famitsu).

The packaging is also designed to mimic…
