“I don’t understand why there’s any debate to be had”. Yesterday, as you’ll all be aware, Nintendo showed off the Switch 2 along with a bunch of games, one of which was a new entry in the Donkey Kong saga. Donkey Kong Bananza showcased a new version of the character, marking the first time he’s…
“It will no longer cost $500 to play Path of Radiance!”. Yesterday, Nintendo lifted the lid on Switch 2, its next hybrid console, which launches this June and will cost $450. There were plenty of big announcements—which you can read about here—but for retro fans, the confirmation that GameCube games are coming to Nintendo Switch…
The price of performance. As details continue to flood in about Nintendo’s Switch 2 console, it’s been confirmed that the battery, whilst having a larger overall capacity than that found in its predecessor, won’t actually last as long in play. During a Q&A with the Switch 2 developers, producer Kouichi Kawamoto stated that the battery…

FromSoftware’s Elden Ring Nightreign is almost upon us, and publisher Bandai Namco is ramping up the marketing with the first of what is likely to be a series of short videos on the game’s characters.

Don’t get me wrong, I like Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, but something about the combination of AI industry celebrity visual branding and cheap faux-leather knockoffs sets my stomach off doing somersaults. Huang’s been donning the black leather jacket for over a decade, but now that Nvidia is king of the ginormous AI castle, companies are…
It’s only been a year since The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered released on PlayStation 5, so I’m happy to see a quick turnaround for this PC port. Although PC players could already play The Last of Us Part 2 on PS5 if they were desperate, this remaster will provide a couple of improvements….
“If they pull it off, others will follow”. Yesterday’s Nintendo Direct gave us an absolutely mammoth amount of information about Switch 2, but one of the less welcome revelations was that game prices are rising for Nintendo’s new console, with leading launch title Mario Kart World costing a whopping $80 / £75 in physical form…
At least it’s cheap… When Nintendo detailed some of the technical specifications for the upcoming Switch 2, it also revealed Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour, a digital experience that acts as an expanded tech demo, letting you try out various functions of the console via mini games.
