Title landed on Mega Drive last year. Publisher Mega Cat Studios has confirmed that the lovely-looking retro shmup ZPF will launch on the Switch eShop next month on 16th April 2026. Yes, it's going head-to-head with Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream, though we suspect there won't be too much crossover with the games' audiences. ZPF is already available as a brand-new release for the Sega Mega Drive, with Mega Cat promising a Switch release at a later date. It's nearly here!

It would be a reasonable assumption to make that there are only so many variations on football games you can make. Ultimately, no matter how many bells, whistles, or rocket powered cars you throw at it, it always comes down to getting a ball in a net and shouting SCOOOOOORE. Except in the case of Nutmeg!, a "nostalgic deckbuilding football manager" which looks like it features more faxing than any sort of kicking, but I mean that in an endearing way, promise.

And it's not a Game-Key Card. If you've been holding out for the physical edition of Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds for the Switch 2, then chances are you've already had a visit from the postman today, as it's out now. Yes, it took a little longer than we might have expected, but the physical release is here, and best of all, it's not a Game-Key Card. Your tolerance of GKCs may vary, but we're going to bet that there won't be a single one of you disappointed to hear that the full base game for CrossW...

A US District Court Judge for the Northern District of Texas has dismissed X Corp.’s lawsuit against advertisers it claimed participated in an “illegal boycott” of X, Reuters reports. X originally filed its lawsuit in 2024 in response to advertisers pulling ads from the social media platform, a decision reportedly motivated by X's lax approach to moderating hate speech. Judge Jane J. Boyle was not swayed by X’s claims that advertisers like Twitch, Shell, Nestlé and Lego pulling advertising amoun...

The spooky, yet cozy, game Grave Seasons is coming out on August 14, which was announced at today's Xbox Partner Preview event. This is basically Stardew Valley, but set in a Lovecraftian nightmare of a town. Players farm, mine and romance villagers, but also solve murders and deal with the occasional bloodthirsty demon or two. It looks fun! This is being published by Blumhouse Games, which is a division of the film studio that pumps out modern horror hits like Happy Death Day, M3GAN and Five Ni...

Dispatch was one of 2025’s standout titles and one of the best narrative games in years, which made its no-show on Xbox all the more puzzling. Luckily, that’s being rectified this summer.

An iPhone user with the Claude or Gemini app installed will be able to send questions to those chatbots, like how the current ChatGPT feature works. Right now, if a user has a question that ‌Siri‌ cannot handle, ‌Siri‌ sugges...

Stalker 2 is getting its first DLC, titled Cost of Hope, this summer. The expansion and its general release window was announced during today's Xbox Partner Preview showcase.  It's been more than a year since the base game finally released, closing a long development cycle that was disrupted by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, where the studio GSC Game World was initially based.

Gurman revealed all of this information in a live Q&A call today on the Bloomberg website, where listeners were invited to ask him anything about Apple. Over the years, there were rumors a...

I quite like a bit of permanency in games. Well, like might be too positive, I'm more intrigued by it and the friction it provides. It's interesting that if you're silly enough to kill an NPC in Dark Souls, for example, that's it, no take backsies. So despite honestly not caring all that much for zombie games, I'm still a bit interested in Dying Light: The Beast and its new Restored Land update which introduces a mode where if you kill a zombie once, it truly is gone for good.

Following a false start last week, Google has begun rolling out Search Live globally.

"I see this game as the foundational product for the future". Virtua Fighter isn't a series you'd generally associate with Nintendo systems, and that's probably because the closest we've had to an entry is Virtua Quest, a GameCube spin-off from 2004 (though we also had a Virtual Console release of Virtua Fighter 2 back in the Wii era). But now, fight fans can finally look forward to the real deal with Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. World Stage on Switch 2, a proper entry that takes full advantage of ...

We've all been there. You and two other morally dubious alien treasure hunters have an expedition go wrong, and find yourselves having to tactically blast through some baddies in order to secure some relics in timely fashion.

The European Union has opened a formal investigation into whether Snapchat has breached Digital Services Act (DSA) regulations regarding the safeguarding of children using its app.  Regulators say that the company, whose audience demographic has always skewed young, may not be doing enough to protect minors from grooming and "recruitment for criminal purposes."
