Bare skin is a no-no. As far as reveals go, yesterday's Switch 2 Nintendo Direct played it relatively safe. The system is an upgrade on the existing (and wildly successful) Switch console that has sold more than 150 million units worldwide, with the biggest curveballs being video chat and the introduction of mouse-style controls via the updated Joy-Con controllers. Members of the Nintendo Life team are currently in New York and Paris testing out the new hardware (as you'll know from the hands-on...

An egg in these trying times.

The bad news is that it's a 'Game Key' release... Developed by Silicon Studio, 2012's Bravely Default is one of the 3DS' most memorable RPGs—and it is finally getting a second chance to shine thanks to an upcoming HD remaster on Switch 2. "Follow four Warriors of Light on a journey to restore the elemental crystals in the HD remaster of the Nintendo 3DS RPG masterpiece, BRAVELY DEFAULT," says the official PR, released in the wake of yesterday's Nintendo Direct.

The post Grand Theft Auto V Coming to Game Pass and PC Game Pass on April 15 appeared first on Xbox Wire.

If you’re enjoying a thriller, your body might know before your mind does. Thrillers can touch on many different subgenres, but they live and die on whether they make viewers feel suspense, anxiety, tension, and surprise. That’s the mark of a good thriller, and it’s what the movies on this list have in common. From...

With the initial reveal of the Switch 2, there was the sense that Nintendo was intent on evolution, not revolution - but yesterday's fleshed out showing showed that the firm is still capable of surprises, both in terms of the hardware feature set and also in the presentation of many of its games.

Apple Arcade gained six more games today as promised, including RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic, Katamari Damacy Rolling LIVE, The Game of Life 2, Sesame Street Mecha Builders, Space Invaders Infinity Gene Evolve, and puffies. Notably, the Apple Arcade version of RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic is available on the Mac:Combining features from two of the series' most successful and beloved games, RollerCoaster Tycoon and RollerCoaster Tycoon 2, this new game invites players to create and run amazing par...

Nintendo held off announcing the price of the Switch 2 in its big Switch 2 Direct on Wednesday. Instead, perhaps in preparation for the inevitable sticker shock, the $449 price point was slipped into a news release tucked away in a bevy of other facts. Nintendo also announced that a limited-supply bundle that comes with...

Microsoft is reportedly making it easier to use Windows 11 on your next handheld gaming PC. A new datamining leak has suggested that Microsoft is gearing up to launch a new full-screen Xbox interface for handheld devices, similar to how Valve’s SteamOS works on the Steam Deck. Given the hints earlier this week about an Asus-made Xbox handheld, it does make sense that Microsoft would want to improve the Windows 11 experience on handhelds. Some of the best gaming handhelds out there, like the Asus...

The first of Nintendo's two Switch 2 flavoured Treehouse: Live presentations is about to kick off.

Reef madness.

Beyond expectations. Metroid Prime 4: Beyond being cross-gen was inevitable. After a near two-decade wait for a sequel and a handful of delays, including a return from series developer Retro Studios, the game needed to land with a bang. And boy did it when it re-emerged during the June 2024 Nintendo Direct. We've seen it twice since, and each time it's impressed more and more. Yet the latest time, during the Switch 2 Direct, all the gloves were off despite little gameplay. A Switch 2 Edition, 4K...

As you might suspect from the title, everything in A24’s teen apocalypse comedy movie Y2K is so 1999 it almost hurts. There are CDs galore, Sisqó’s “Thong Song,” video stores, dial-up, and many, many more relics of that era. While this parade of references keeps the movie light, funny, and a generally good time, there...

One for the Dark Souls 2 sickos.

Just 25 GB of storage is required, too.

The business news network CNBC on Wednesday announced that its CNBC+ streaming service has expanded to the Apple TV and Roku devices.

Card-based RPG Sultan's Game has managed to sell 100,000 copies within its first 48 hours on sale, according to developer Double Cross.

Knew what to look for.

Lotta forklift fans in the house tonight.

A closer look at some Switch 2 gameplay. We're still recovering from yesterday's Switch 2 blowout, but Nintendo isn't hitting the brakes just yet. The first of two Nintendo Treehouse presentations is set to kick off in the next half an hour, promising to run us through some hands-on gameplay from a selection of the Switch 2 titles we saw yesterday.

U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday announced that massive tariffs will be applied to imports from many countries, starting April 9. The tariffs will significantly impact Apple's supply chain, with iPhones and other products imported to the U.S. from China, India, and Vietnam set to face 54%, 26%, and 46% tariffs, respectively. Apple supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo today said that if Apple does not raise prices, its overall gross profit margin could face a significant drop of 8.5% to 9%, ...

The World Wide Road.I beat Nintendo of America at Mario Kart World's new Knockout Tour. Okay, that's a tiny bit of a humblebrag, but Knockout Tour is the mode that has finally convinced me that the "99" formula is fun. I know, I'm sorry, you were all right.

Anybody got a 1mm thick piece of cardboard? As part of yesterday's Ask the Developer Vol. 16 Nintendo Switch 2, the console's designers were asked a whole bunch of in-depth questions about various technical aspects of their new baby. One of the more interesting parts of the interview was when they discussed redesigning the Switch, and all of its component parts, from scratch.

What do modern speakers need? Good sound quality? As little distortion as possible? Longevity? Well, yes. Plus, according to Bang & Olufsen, marble plinths. Bang & Olufsen is debuting a partnership with Italian marble and granite company Antolini at Milan Design Week. The Beosound Balance Natura speaker features a sculptural base from Antolini that the audio company says elevates the device to its optimal height. Apparently, the plinth isn't just there for aesthetic — it's a functional audio ele...

President Trump says TSMC is "one of the great companies of the world" as he praises the chipmaker for investing in the US. But other companies are not so lucky.

A new teaser trailer for Five Nights at Freddy's 2 has been revealed.

The original Switch started a revolution when it combined the portability of handhelds with the ability to play games on your TV at home like a traditional console. But with the Switch 2, even though it's physically bigger, it feels like a sleeker, faster and more refined take on its predecessor — to the point that Nintendo should have called it the Super Switch (which apparently almost happened). And after getting a chance to try it out, I'm sold on its abilities, even with its significantly hi...

As Firaxis continues to polish Civilization 7, one of the most inventive challengers to the 4X game throne is continuing to prove a serious threat with the reveal of another new race. Endless Legend 2 is the successor to the beloved 2014 Amplitude Studios strategy game, and it’s already racked up more than 170,000 Steam wishlists as the developer prepares for its early access launch later in the year. Now, the studio reveals the second playable Endless Legend 2 faction, a hivemind race known as ...

It's a well-known secret that my favorite class in any videogame is Monk. Whether it's tabletop DnD, Baldur's Gate 3, or World of Warcraft, I love the idea of blending primordial magic and, well, punching things - perhaps that's because I'm from Glasgow, who knows. Havenhold, an upcoming survival sandbox game, thrusts you into the shoes of a budding young warrior with their eyes firmly set on the prize. It's been in alpha since 2023, and now we're finally getting our hands on it.

1998 was a fantastic year for games. There was Fallout 2, the original Half-Life, Resident Evil 2, and some great strategy hits in Commandos and the first Rainbow Six. Given that lineup, when it comes to looking back at one of gaming’s best vintages, it’s easy to overlook Future Cop LAPD - created by EA Redwood, the studio that would eventually become Dead Space developer Visceral, it’s a vicious and satirical mech shooter with shades of Armored Core and Robocop, and the final game in the broade...
