And also restores its cut developer Easter Eggs. Less than a week after the release of his Tower of Druaga PC Engine hack, Garrett Greenwalt is back with another fan translation — this time for the 1990 PC Engine port of the Namco arcade game Chouzetsu Rinjin Bravoman. Chouzetsu Rinjin Bravoman was localized and released…
If you have your eye on the upcoming Asus ROG Xbox Ally X handheld gaming PC, be careful where you buy it from. As reported by Tom’s Hardware, scalpers are already trying to rip people off with eBay listings charging over two times MSRP—while the ROG Xbox Ally X is still available for pre-order at…

If you’re subscribed to Nintendo Switch Online, you might be feeling like this year has been pretty stacked for new games on both the regular tier and the Expansion Pack.

Twitch will no longer let viewers pay their way to the top (of chat) come November 15. It’s dropping the controversial Hype Chat feature it brought in back in June this year, which allowed people to spend anywhere from $1 to $500 to get their chat messages pinned—in dazzling technicolour—to the top of a streamer’s…
