“Powered by newly manufactured chips based on the originals”. Well, it turns out the rumours of Plaion Replai creating a new Neo Geo system were bang on the money, as the company has just announced the Neo Geo+ Advanced Entertainment System / AES. Launching on 12th November 2026, the Neo Geo+ AES (£179.99 / €199.99…
Price hikes are starting to bite. The latest Japanese charts are here thanks to Famitsu, and yet again, we can see that Pokémon Pokopia has beaten the competition to take the top spot with 23,738 sales. It’s inching toward that 1 million milestone! Starfield also makes its debut on PS5 at number 3, selling 4,094…
“It was a nightmare”. It’s fair to say that Capcom’s Final Fight Revenge isn’t the franchise’s finest hour. Developed for Sega’s Titan arcade board and Saturn home console at the tail-end of the 1990s, it was created not in Japan but in the US by Capcom Digital Studios, an outfit that would later work on…
Though the world of hacking is only getting more and more advanced, some exploits have seemingly stuck around unchanged for years.

This September will mark the tenth anniversary of AMD’s ‘legendary’ AM4 desktop processor socket, one that’s still going strong today. And if one leak is to be believed, it would seem that Team Red is planning to mark the occasion by releasing a special version of another classic: the Ryzen 7 5800X3D. Except there doesn’t…
“people forget we’re a relatively small indie team”. Yooka-Replaylee is a great reimagining of the enjoyable yet flawed 2017 original, yet for many the lack of a 60fps performance mode on Switch 2 was disappointing. Well, the good news is that it’s finally here! After months of painstaking work to optimise the game, Playtonic has…
Yooka-So-Smoothy. After its release in October 2025, Yooka-Replaylee is finally playable at 60fps on Switch 2 thanks to a new update from Playtonic Games. Many were understandably disappointed when the Switch 2 version launched with its performance capped at 30fps (heck, it was one of just two ‘cons’ in our 8/10 review), so this will…
