X marks the spot. We’ve seen so many emulation handhelds provide robust GameCube and PS2 performance lately that it seems almost pointless to devote time to a device that doesn’t have the power to replicate those consoles to a satisfying degree. However, the Mangmi Air X – which retails for $90 – proves to be…
I was so conflicted when I first started working on this review of the Lenovo Legion 9i Gen 10. I came into it with this expectation that it was going to be a simple, easy, plug-and-play, get-it-tested-and-done article. A lengthy piece about a $4,000 laptop, brimming with hardware, glowing with accolades and triumphs on its…
2B or not 2B? Nintendo released its latest firmware update for Switch 2 last night, ushering in a handful of general improvements for the console. Alongside these tweaks, the update also appears to have coincided with some compatibility fixes, including one title we’ve been waiting to see up and running for a while: NieR:Automata The…
Now the whole game runs at 60fps! Mario Kart: Super Circuit is one of the games I remember most fondly when thinking about the Game Boy Advance. The console was still fresh and new back in 2001, and soon after launch it was playing host to a portable version of one of my favourite SNES…
Frogbull drops new proof-of-concept video. If you thought seeing Super Mario 64 on PlayStation was weird, well, we’re not through yet. That’s because Frogbull, the homebrew maverick behind demos of Metal Gear Solid and Crash Bandicoot on Sega Saturn and Metal Gear Solid 2 on Dreamcast, has just shared some incredible new footage of an…
Hell is empty and all the devils are here. In a transparent attempt to get harried videogame news writers to write bewildered articles (touché, Microsoft), Xbox has partnered with Crocs to release an “exclusive collection” of atrocious branded footwear. I fully concede that I’ve fallen into the trap on this one, but can you blame…
Those doughnuts sure do look familiar. If you’ve been paying attention to the recent trailers for Pokémon Legends: Z-A‘s Mega Dimension DLC, you’ll no doubt know that doughnuts have a pretty big role to play in the dimension-hopping — what did you expect, it’s Pokémon! The Pokémon Cafe’s new menu looks set to bring these…
“We’ll gladly put [it] up against any fighting game ever released for the MD”. We’ve covered I Heart Pizza’s forthcoming Genesis / Mega Drive fighting game Go For It! previously, and hoped it was close to launch – but it seems that it needs a little longer in the oven (apologies for the pun). The…
I’m as guilty as anyone for hammering the skip button when a videogame’s credits begin to roll, but I acknowledge that a scrolling list of names is an important part of the game. At a time when layoffs abound, projects are cancelled at a moment’s notice, and work in the games industry is more difficult…
As my muscular colleague Jeremy pointed out already, Apple has been making gains. It’s doubled the single-core performance of its in-house chips, the M-series, in five years, and while the predicted single-core score in Geekbench 6 for the new M5 was 4100 (based on the M5 iPad Pro), in my actual testing of a 14-inch…
