    How do you find a Thai girlfriend?

    Why a Thai girlfriend? ...Do you want to Thai her up? Bondage is certainly kinky! 😏

    Welcome to our new Chief Editor...

    I just realised - it's approaching 24 years since GBAtemp was created; since Costello became Headmaster of this wonderful place. Realised that after hovering over his username and seeing his Joined date. ...We should probably celebrate that, next year; him spending a quarter of a century...

    September 2026 Nintendo Direct recap, new Metroid and Kirby games on the way

    Professor Layton is back! I just really hope Flora is in it; she's always been my favourite tritagonist, compared to Emmy Altava, but sadly she never got that much screentime. I miss Flora; if Luke's allowed to grow up, Flora should be too, still gentle and kind but now more able to assist her...

    GBAtemp is full of weirdos

    I love being literal, and I love wordplay and puns - and my game opinions, I've noticed, tend to be very much counter to common consensus (Super Mario Galaxy sucks, BotW/TotK suck, Paper Mario: TTYD sucks, Super Mario 3D Land is one of the best Mario games, Super Paper Mario is another of the...

    September 2026 Nintendo Direct recap, new Metroid and Kirby games on the way

    Literally ANYTHING that makes the Switch 2 something worth using - because so far, nuddin'. All those "Switch 2 enhanced" ports? Yeah, don't care; the base Switch games are more than good enough, and not enough tends to be added to justify the new one. The only Switch 2 game I've got is Donkey...

    Chary to step down as Chief editor: Thank You for a wonderful 5+ years

    So, err...who next? ...Next to be Chief Editor, not next to step down, that is. To remove the ambiguity from my first sentence.

    A nice break from the negativity - let's look at some games coming out this week

    100-251 = -151 -273.15°C is absolute zero, or 0 K The bottom end of the battery is the negative terminal ...Oh, don't mind me; just being negative, is all.

    Microsoft to introduce monthly playtime limits on their cloud gaming, additional time to be purchasable from the Xbox Store

    Yeah nah fuck cloud gaming; input delay, absolutely wrecks ISP data plans (especially mobile data, if used on the go - why would you, though?), you don't even get to download game data files, no mod support, a game can be removed at the cloud provider's desire. Who cares if playtime limits are...

    Two Nintendo Directs announced for next week, set to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Zelda and showcase games launching this year for Switch 2

    I'd love to see Nintendo return to traditional Legend of Zelda, ever since they stopped doing so (outside remasters) since 2013's A Link Between Worlds. We haven't gotten a new 2D Zelda since then, or a new 3D Zelda (with no stupid gimmicks such as limited stamina or equipment fragility, so...

    'Metaphor: ReFantazio' opens Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders

    Anything different about this port, or...? Not gonna get it, personally; already beat it once on Steam, and found it to be an 'okay' game; nothing special. Really wasn't nearly as fun as Persona 4 Golden or 5 Royal, that's for sure - not a big fan of Press Turn combat (SMT combat) compared to...

    Unreal Engine 5 fan remake Gamma Emerald gets its first early access release

    Standard correction: I'm not comfortable playing as female characters as I find it harder to 'put myself in their shoes', as the saying goes; to immerse myself as that character, compared to male leads. I don't have any sisters nor close female cousins to have built that familiarity, which as...

    Everyone thinks The Elder Scrolls VI will be called Sentinel

    Yeah, I can understand that; I'm still wanting Nintendo to return to classic Legend of Zelda, as Twilight Princess, The Wind Waker, Majora's Mask, and Ocarina of Time are still incredible games - I'm still chasing that high, myself... ES6 doesn't even have to be dogshit like Starfield was - it...

    Everyone thinks The Elder Scrolls VI will be called Sentinel

    Does anyone really care about Elder Scrolls - considering how godawful Bethesda's last game (Starfield, I think the name was) turned out to be? And Fallout 4, Fallout 76; how buggy vanilla Skyrim still is (and how dependent on unofficial fan patches it is, so console versions are largely SoL)...

    Unreal Engine 5 fan remake Gamma Emerald gets its first early access release

    I've never liked the "HD-2D" style present in the Octopath Traveller duology; it just looks too weird and uncanny for my tastes. Meanwhile, the style present in Dragon Quest 1 HD-2D looks better and is more tolerable, but still isn't my favourite art style out there. As for the trailer...

    ROM Hack Pokemon Timeless Diamond and Spaceless Pearl released, enhances original Sinnoh releases with quality of life changes and new events

    This is really interesting...but earlier this year I spent quite a lot of time taking the Platinum decomp and making my own private hack, modified for my personal tastes. I do wish this had been uploaded to GitHub so I could look through the changed files and learn how these changes were done...
