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…
The cancellation of The Last of Us Online is one of the greatest tragedies of our time. At least in the imaginations of many TLOU fans—it was cancelled after all, so we never actually got to see whether it lived up to the hype. Nevertheless, former game director Vinit Agarwal has called his cancelled baby…
Nvidia and Intel shocked the tech world last year with a partnership announcement, in which the two giants said they would collaborate on new x86 SOCs with integrated RTX GPU chiplets. The friendship may well be going deeper than that, though, as rumours suggest Nvidia’s next-next gen AI GPUs will use the odd Intel Foundry-produced…
Better late than never. Langrisser III occupies a very unusual place in my personal gaming history. Warsong / Langrisser is one of my favourite games of all time, and I recently managed to play the sequel, which sadly never got an English release back in the day, and I loved it. Back in the mid-’90s,…
We have prizes at HOME… The Pokémon Company is dishing out a shiny reward for those who have caught ’em all in Pokémon Legends: Z-A. If you have completed the latest game’s Lumiose, Mega Evolution, and Hyperspace Pokédexes, and logged them all in Pokémon HOME, there’s a special Shiny Volcanion waiting for you. This special…
Who will be the Chozo one? File this one under “Yes, this sounds plausible, but I shall maintain a healthy dose of skepticism”, because with Nintendo now well on the way to delivering its Legend of Zelda movie after Super Mario‘s recent success, it sounds like Metroid might be next in line to receive an…
Thanks to the fan translators Chapu & Etokapa. A brand-new fan translation patch has just been released for the Japanese-exclusive PS1 game, Tiny Bullets, giving players the opportunity to experience the rare PlayStation-exclusive in English for the very first time (h/t: GameVecanti). Tiny Bullets is the work of the developers, Kuusoukagaku Corp and Contrail, and…
