A rally sneaky secret. Seasoned secret-spotter @memory_fallen has uncovered yet another interesting Easter Egg that has apparently gone undetected for decades. The game in question this time is the Saturn port of the 1996 arcade racer Sega Touring Car Championship, which launched on the console in 1997. Read the full article on timeextension.com A rally…
Sony won’t be producing game disks anymore—a decision that’s been met industry-wide with a mixture of frustration and ambivalence, depending on which side of the fence you fall on. Personally, I don’t think a videogame company or distribution platform having final say over whether you concretely own something is healthy, even if I am admittedly…
What a Croc. You may recall the announcement earlier in the summer that Nintendo was expanding its collaboration with Crocs for a new line of Mario-themed footwear.

New balls, please. The time has finally come. Devolver Digital and Kenny Sun have announced that BALL x PIT‘s final free update is on the horizon, marking the end of 10 months’ worth of content drops. The ‘Naturalist’ update will arrive on Switch 1 and 2 on 6th August, and it looks just as crammed…
Patch also fixes a key bug from the original game. While the Genesis / Mega Drive and SNES were fairly evenly matched in a lot of genres, it’s not an exaggeration to say that Nintendo’s console had a distinct advantage when it came to RPGs, with a host of amazing titles such as Final Fantasy…
