In 2001, together with my team at Sega, I made a game called Rez. It was not your typical game. It’s a bit hard to explain in words. Well, to be honest, when the original Rez came out back in 2001, not everyone understood what we were trying to do with the game — but…
It wasn’t just Japan that released some Switch sales data today. France also had some good Switch hardware sales news to report. Japan’s sales data was for the Switch Lite, but France’s data is for the older Nintendo Switch model that has been available worldwide for almost a few years now. According to Le Figaro,…
There are challenge runs, and then there’s “I’m playing Sekiro by hitting the Rock Band drums with my feet” -style absurdity. HandowShandowed on YouTube is indulging in the latter, with multiple video uploads showing them playing Hollow Knight and Silksong at the same time, synced to one controller.

Sakurai spilled the beans on everything from character rosters to controls, so we’ve assembled the following breakdown…
Last month, the MultiVersus rumour mill span itself into a frenzy over some stickers plastered in Belgian McDonalds, which appeared early—like some kind of hallucination you experience when you’re severely dehydrated, only the water in this case is a platform fighter most people had a good time with that randomly shut down for months.

How does it hold up? Given the improved specs in the recently released Switch 2, it’s not entirely surprising that the system’s battery can’t quite keep up with its predecessor’s (though with the increased size, one has to imagine that Nintendo could stuff a bigger one in there).
