    Pokemon Champions gets new overview trailer, launches April 8th

    What do they mean 'free to start' ? I hope they don't implement freemium BS like, oh you can't do any more than X battles, if you don't spend our currency. Maybe it's just the fact that you need one of the base games to properly play it.

    Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness now available via Nintendo Switch Online

    I'm glad it's on NSO now, even though it's only for Switch2. Hopefully more people play it, it's pretty fun!

    Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness now available via Nintendo Switch Online

    Holy shit that game is expensive. Were there only a few copies? Lucky I've still got my copy, with no plans on ever selling it.

    Yoshi and the Mysterious Book gets new trailer along with release date

    This looks cool. All Yoshi games have been leaning into exploration, mainly with their collectables, or alternate paths in Yoshis Story. But this game puts even more emphasis on exploration, which helps to differentiate it from other platformers like mario, imo. When enemies/characters you...

    Emu4Vita Plus

    I hate the plus versions UI. It lags like hell when loading in images for games. Emu4Vita 1.10 had the best UI. It frustrates me to a point where I am trying to compile it myself, to be able to update cores on the older version. Didn't work though. I just wish the dev backported the audio...

    Pokemon Winds and Waves announced for Nintendo Switch 2, set to release in 2027

    The release date is surprising, I was thinking they'd want to release a mainline game this year. Looks like Gamefreak has caught up to Gamecube graphics, at 30fps.

    Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen listings appear on the Nintendo eShop, will release later this month

    I am sensing it, Nintendo is planning to release Melee HD with rollback netcode, but only as a new super premium tier of their online subscription. They and Gamefreak are simply nostalgia milking at this point.

    Nintendo is yet again issuing DMCA notices to Switch emulators on GitHub

    Here is a simple example. I own a gamecube and Mario Sunshine, and wanted to take a longer trip in a foreign country. Naturally I can't bring a whole setup with me, so I installed Dolphin on a laptop. Now I was able to 100% legally play the Eclipse romhack on the go, because of an emulator...

    AYANEO Pocket Play gaming smartphone revealed

    What quality! The video even has two abrupt audio cuts because they can't loop correctly.

    Fan-made game Banjo-Kazooie: Mumbomania now available to play in Dreams

    That is doing Dreams a disservice. Yes, it's more limiting than going with established game engines or starting from scratch. However when it's possible to create something like this, with this amount of polish, it goes to show how powerful Dreams is.

    Hacking Question emuMMC, RAW1, and you

    Sorry for the necropost, does that mean it is save to copy the RAW1 folder from the SD card to another SD card with a separate EmuNand? I think some files on that hidden partition for my EmuNand might have gotten corrupted, so I wanna try creating a new one without losing save data.

    Xbox is bringing Halo to PlayStation

    What did they use it for? There's a bunch of senseful applications of AI too.

    Nintendo is requesting $4.5 million in damages from a Reddit moderator

    People who commit crimes should face appropriate consequences for what they did. Companies who show antitrust behaviour and perform illegal actions like suing emulator developers should also face appropriate consequences for their crimes.

    Microsoft is internally testing a free Xbox Cloud Gaming service with ads

    Smart take, that would actually be useful. However I highly doubt they will put new releases on there, for 'free'. Especially since they made a big deal regarding gamepass, about new releases only appearing in the most expensive tier.
