Digital to be cheaper than physical going forward. Nintendo of America has just announced that first-party Switch 2 exclusives on the eShop will be getting a different MSRP (that’s manufacturer’s suggested retail price) compared to physical releases. What that means is that, going forward, it’s very likely that digital games will be cheaper that physical…
Wam, bam, clonk, clonk, bonk. That’s the sound of a Captain America main barging straight past Magneto to smack around the backline supports with two full servings of manifest destiny. I love Marvel Rivals’ rendition of Cap as the load-bearing pillar of his team—a mobile, aggressive dive tank who weaves defense into his offense and…
Works with pretty much any Neo Geo system. The news that a Neo Geo revival is taking place later this year will no doubt prompt many people to ponder the best interface for the console. While the iconic Neo Geo arcade stick is a wonderful piece of kit, many SNK fans swear by the Neo…
The annual gaming harvest is upon us, with February bringing enough big releases to make us consider whether we could keep our homes warm using our gaming rigs. But if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the sheer amount of shiny new things to play this month, with all their preorder bonuses and premium editions and deluxe…
Chalk this up as something I didn’t expect to see today: a gun in a Wholesome Snack showcase. A proper rifle, even! And there was even a gunshot—though it was offscreen. This little surprise in the notoriously cozy game showcase arrived in the trailer for Verdant, a post-apocalyptic adventure with some heavy The Last of…
We are tantalisingly close, at time of writing, to the release of Nightdive’s long-awaited remaster of System Shock 2. When it happens, I think we can put the BioShock era behind us. We all had a whirlwind time in Rapture and also that one in the racist sky hamlet, but between the System Shock 1…
Yakuza Kiwami 3 is billed as an “extreme” remake of the 2009 original. In addition to a new version of the old PS3 game it’ll come with Dark Ties which, as Wes Fenlon discovered last week, is a “breakneck roguelite dungeon crawl” set during the same time period. That’s good news for people who love…
Working out how to unlock fast travel in Death Stranding 2 will be a priority for any porter who doesn’t want to lug their weary bones across the entirety of Australia as they expand the Chiral Network. Sadly, it takes a little while to unlock via progressing the main story, meaning you’ll have to complete…
Redux, reuse, recycle. It wasn’t too long ago at all that Bloober Team gave us the heebie jeebies with Cronos: The New Dawn on Switch 2, but what do you know, the studio has another horror in the tank for the Nintendo hybrid. It’s 2020’s Observer: System Redux that’s coming our way this time, launching…
Bringing together a “broad spectrum of sectors”. In some industry news, the Entertainment Software Association (which operated E3) has this week announced it will be returning with a new event known as the Interactive Innovation Conference. This will apparently be a “first-of-its-kind” event taking place in Las Vegas between April 27th – April 30th, 2026…
