Including a “re-imagined story”, “improved controls”, & more! If you were a Mega Man fan in the early 2000s, you might remember Mega Man Xtreme. Released by Capcom for the Game Boy Color in 2000, it was a spin-off of the Mega Man X series, featuring a cyberspace-themed story and elements recycled from previous games…
It’s not often a new gaming mouse makes me screw my face up at the sheer thought of using it, but well, here we are. The Turtle Beach Command Series MC7 is an 8K wireless squeaker with a 30K sensor and several features I quite like the look of—but it’s also got a 2.25-inch touchscreen…
“The creativity was still there at Rare”. We were recently lucky enough to sit down for a chat with Xbox co-founder and former Microsoft vice president of gaming, Ed Fries, and one of the topics that came up was British studio Rare. Microsoft acquired Rare in the 2000s, transforming it from a Nintendo-centric outfit into…
Embark has announced in a dedicated blog post that it’s finally addressing Arc Raiders‘ largely maligned (or ignored) Trials system. Trials are a rotating set of weekly challenges which task you with nabbing high scores to rank up, all in the pursuit of a unique outfit. But with bland objectives and strict schedules, it’s long…

Despite putting up a staggering run at the box office, it looks like The Super Mario Galaxy Movie might be heading for a video on demand release even quicker than its predecessor. As reported by When to Stream (and brought to our attention by Forbes), the Mario Galaxy Movie will…
“‘Well, we could be selling so much more if we were cross console’”. Most people today will largely associate Ed Fries with his role as an Xbox co-founder and Microsoft’s vice president of gaming in the late ’90s and early 2000s, but his career in games actually dates back a lot further than that. Before…
Where is my Sunshine, my only Sunshine..? ♫. Nintendo has uploaded a new ad as part of its ongoing celebrations for Super Mario‘s 40 anniversary. Titled ‘It’s You, Mario’, it highlights some of the plumber’s iconic games, starting with the Famicom and Super Mario Bros. and ending with the Switch 2 and Super Mario Galaxy….
My fate was sealed as soon as my folks gifted me a Game Boy Color and a copy of Pokémon Red. My younger self also used to daydream about carrying such cool tech right there on her wrist, just like her favourite cartoon characters. However, my older and wiser adult self is downright cynical about…
Working out how to eavesdrop in Crimson Desert during the Bared Fang quest actually used to be even worse than it is now. Like many elements of the game, it was patched post-launch, but even then, it’s not the clearest mechanic. You’ll also have to give a bunch of answers to a guard in yet…
Former president of Blizzard Mike Ybarra has entered the phase of being a videogame executive that involves, among a lot of things, some very unfiltered posting on social media. Like arguing with other CEOs over New Years, or telling people they need to “man up” over AI use. Anyway, World of Warcraft: Midnight had a…
