Marvel Rivals’ popularity has led to that most contemporary of cottage industries: A whole bunch of dataminers and supposed leakers that descend upon any new version of the game, and get into the guts to predict what’s coming next. Almost immediately after launch a large chunk of the future roster was apparently revealed via “hero…
Stick it to ’em. The N64 analogue stick is a unique beast. One of the first interfaces of its type on a mainstream console, it revolutionised how players interacted with games, making titles like Super Mario 64 possible.
