Infinos & Infinos 2 are two titles that were originally launched on Windows PCs during…
I already knew scalpers and the like probably weren’t the most reputable people on the internet—but I’ve just had that assessment re-affirmed, because they’re trying to grift game developer’s autographs now. That’s per a post by Yoko Taro, director of the Nier games, to X. Taro was shown an image of a signed copy of…
Chip manufacturing moving over to the US might seem like a 2025 phenomenon, thanks to the Trump administration’s very vocal pushing towards this goal, but TSMC, the world’s biggest computer chip manufacturer, approved production of its Arizona plant back in 2020.

I have come to commend what I can only describe as 8BitDo’s commitment to the bit. From the 8BitDo Retro keyboard and the Pro 3 gamepad, to the R8 gaming mouse sat under my palm, they all have a distinguished and unique look, but they’re so much more than a retro facade slapped on top…

A 35-page appetiser. Nintendo has released a 35-page digital sample for its upcoming Metroid Prime 1-3: A Visual Retrospective book ahead of its official release on 28th October 2025. The sample shows off some gorgeous concept art from the original Metroid Prime, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. We get a glimpse…
N++ released as a PS4 exclusive in 2015 before hitting PC a year later. It’s a platformer focused on fluid, momentum-based motion through stylish one-screen levels, and I can’t recommend it enough: nothing else feels like this game.
