More features, systems and games. Following the announcement GameCube titles would be coming to Switch Online, Nintendo's Treehouse event provided an update about what exactly is on offer across both tiers.

Launching alongside the Switch 2 version. Support for amiibo is set to continue on the Switch 2! As part of this, Capcom will be releasing three new amiibo for Street Fighter 6. Nintendo initially revealed this information during the Switch 2 Direct and during day two of its Treehouse event it followed this up with a closer look at Luke, Kimberly and Jamie, along with the new amiibo cards for the game.

It's not looking good for collectors. Nintendo this week announced "Game-key cards" for the Switch 2, which are described as "different" from regular game cards as they don't contain the "full game data" and are instead used as a "key" to download the title onto your system via the internet. As fans are quickly finding out, a lot of third-party titles scheduled for the launch window of the Switch 2 will be using these game-key cards, and now it seems like Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition by FromSof...

Next-gen Mario Kart arrives this June. Nintendo gave us our first proper look at Mario Kart World during the Switch 2 Direct earlier this week, and at a glance, it looks pretty-much what you might expect visually from a Mario Kart game. Just how much has it actually changed though? Well, we've now had the opportunity to put together some footage - showing the newest entry in the Mario Kart series alongside the existing Switch entry (and juggernaut) Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Mario Kart World has all s...

The decision was made "in order to assess the potential impact."

Physical pre-orders are now live. The Switch 2 has officially locked in a release date and while a lot of games have already been confirmed for the platform, it looks like we might have one more. It seems Konami will be releasing its Suikoden 1 & 2 HD Remaster package on the Switch 2, with listings for this game popping up on sites like Play-asia.

"Enhanced and optimized". Earlier this week, Sega announced it would be releasing five games on the Switch 2 within the launch window the system. One of these happens to be last year's release Sonic x Shadow Generations. Sega has now provided a slight update about this particular game, revealing a Switch 2 game trailer - noting how the game will be "enhanced and optimized", and is "coming soon" to the new system.

"Please wait a bit longer". Nintendo officially revealed Masahiro Sakurai's new game project Kirby Air Riders during its Switch 2 Direct. In case you missed it, this is a sequel to the 2003 GameCube original Kirby Air Ride and will be coming to Nintendo's new hardware in 2025. Sakurai has now shared a quick development update on social media - revealing the game is also being developed by Bandai Namco Studios, the same company involved with Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Could the $80 standard come to PC next?

Well, remind me never to anger a Far Cry fan again. Those playing 2014’s Far Cry 4 on Steam have been getting rather irate on social media after Ubisoft seemingly censored some of the game’s nudity. With many linking this unannounced change to the company’s recently announced partnership with Tencent, things got quite heated. However, Ubisoft has now confirmed that the censorship wasn’t intentional and was due to a “technical error,” and has now swiftly reverted Far Cry 4 back to its original st...

In Vindefiant, your character "unleashes his powers and sparks a path of rage and destruction to get revenge on his former employer."

I kid, of course. Mostly, anyway.

A handy calendar for visits from the Jackalope, Blood Moon cult, and Krampus.

Amiibo! New modes! And much more!

If you have an older Apple device that you've been considering upgrading, you're probably wondering how the newly announced tariffs might impact prices going forward, and whether it's worth buying now before there's a price hike. Given analyst and economist responses to the tariffs, market panic, and Trump's stance on the current financial chaos, the answer is that making a purchase immediately might save you some cash if things don't change. iPhones Could Get Much More Expensive Trump announced...

The Switch was a bolt from the blue. The Switch 2 is ho-hum.

With engrossing narratives, tough and meaningful decisions, and your fate often in the hands of a dreaded dice roll, CRPGs are some of the most deep and addictive games around. The genre has produced some of the greatest games of all time, such as Disco Elysium, which I always encourage people to pick up, especially if it’s on sale. Well, here I go again, because Disco Elysium’s Final Cut edition is now just $13 - oh, and you’ll get five other superb RPGs with it too thanks to this insanely chea...

Nintendo’s Switch 2 ramp-up week started with a cheerful bang (a jingle, really) at Wednesday’s Switch 2 Direct that revealed the sleek new console’s release date, launch games, and features. Donkey Kong hype abounded online, at least until the company’s news releases started trickling out to outlets like Polygon, and sticker shock took over. Nintendo...

In a YouTube video Friday, Dropout.tv CEO Sam Reich announced plans to increase the cost of subscriptions to the streaming service starting May 7.

Mewgenics, the cat-breeding RPG that was originally announced as a follow-up to Super Meat Boy, is coming out in 2025, based on a new trailer shared by IGN and the game's updated Steam page. A blend of a turned-based RPG and twisted cat simulator, Mewgenics started as the next project from Team Meat, the development duo made up of Edmund McMillen and Tommy Refenes. Team Meat teased Mewgenics throughout 2013, but ultimately put the game on hold in 2014 to focus on finishing Super Meat Boy Forever...

A few minutes into my first look at The Midnight Walk, I thought to myself, Wait, is this actually the game? Not a cutscene? What I was watching looked like a gorgeous stop-motion animated short film, but I soon realized the developers from MoonHood Studios were showing me real-time game footage.  The Midnight Walk looks...

The Kilo 141 in Black Ops 6 looks a little different than its series debut, because the latest iteration of Call of Duty multiplayer has a much more streamlined attachment system, but the gist of the weapon is still the same: Manage the recoil and it becomes a powerhouse. Much like weapons such as the...

The best CR-56 AMAX loadout in Black Ops 6 may come as a surprise given that this is another simple automatic assault rifle — or at least, that’s what it seems like on the face of it. It’s another familiar face returning to the series from both Modern Warfare 2019 and Warzone, joining season 3...

Regardless of genre, style, or even critical acclaim, when I hear about a game that’s as old as I am hitting Steam for the first time, I’m beyond intrigued. That’s exactly what’s just happened with Emperor of the Fading Suns, a 4X game that sees five royal houses jostle for control. Not over a fantasy kingdom, mind you. Not even a single planet. This battle for supremacy occurs in a distant future across a galactic realm of dozens of planets. Incredibly ambitious for its time, the Enhanced Editi...

Ibtihal Aboussad interrupted AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman's address to criticize the company's work with the Israeli military in Gaza.

Early this year, Mark Zuckerberg announced that Meta would be ditching its long-running fact checking program, claiming that it has enabled too much “censorship” on the company’s apps. Now, Meta has set an end date for fact-checking on Facebook, Instagram and Threads (at least for its US users).  “By Monday afternoon, our fact-checking program in the US will be officially over,” Meta’s recently elevated policy chief Joel Kaplan announced in a post on X. “That means no new fact checks and no fact...

"I think it's a pretty poor name."

It's been one hell of a wait, but Binding of Isaac creator Edmund McMillen's extremely long-awaited cat breeding game Mewgenics is almost upon us. And with a release looming (comparatively speaking, at least), its first proper trailer is here - and, wow, is it something.

"I was completely confused by them."

Players are catching the biggest "fish" in the smallest places.
