Clear your calendars for mid-September. A Nintendo Direct is reportedly on the way, and it’ll be taking place mid-September. The claim originally came from SwitchForce over on X (formerly Twitter), but VGC has also heard from multiple sources that a presentation is planned for 12th September.

Gee, ya think? Japan’s National Diet Library (or ‘NDL’, for short) is one of the biggest libraries in the world and, from the year 2000, began to obtain video game CDs and cartridges for preservation purposes.

Retro DS has two. Chinese emulation handheld manufacturer MagicX has just revealed its product roadmap for the rest of 2025 and beyond, and one device in particular has caught our attention.

Konami gave us an extended look at how Silent Hill f plays earlier this month, and the horror prequel places a much heavier emphasis on combat than I expected. With mechanics like a stamina bar, timed dodges and a powerful counterattack ability, you’d be forgiven for thinking that Silent Hill f looks rather like a…
