Clear your calendars for mid-September. A Nintendo Direct is reportedly on the way, and it’ll be taking place mid-September. The claim originally came from SwitchForce over on X (formerly Twitter), but VGC has also heard from multiple sources that a presentation is planned for 12th September. If that’s the case, it’ll be taking place the…
No longer an age away. Koei Tecmo has revealed its line-up for this year’s Tokyo Game Show, which takes place between 25th – 28th September 2025. And its upcoming collaboration with Nintendo, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, will be there — and it’ll be playable. Sharing its line-up on a newly-opened website (via Gematsu), the…

Gee, ya think? Japan’s National Diet Library (or ‘NDL’, for short) is one of the biggest libraries in the world and, from the year 2000, began to obtain video game CDs and cartridges for preservation purposes. According to an article from Famitsu (thanks, Automaton), however, the library does not consider the Switch 2’s Game-Key Cards…
Retro DS has two. Chinese emulation handheld manufacturer MagicX has just revealed its product roadmap for the rest of 2025 and beyond, and one device in particular has caught our attention. The Retro DS appears to be a successor to MagicX’s Zero 40, which we recently reviewed. That device used a single, portrait-oriented screen to…
Konami gave us an extended look at how Silent Hill f plays earlier this month, and the horror prequel places a much heavier emphasis on combat than I expected. With mechanics like a stamina bar, timed dodges and a powerful counterattack ability, you’d be forgiven for thinking that Silent Hill f looks rather like a…
Let’s test it. The announcement that Indiana Jones and the Great Circle would be making its way to the Switch 2 in 2026 came as a very pleasant surprise during the recent Gamescom festivities.
