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

    @Chary Will never forget streaming with you, Meteor7, Luna and everyone else, or everything in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey back in 2017. Your E3 recaps were always so fun to read, as were your blogs featuring your cats and your family (hope they're doing well). For as big and prominent as...

    Mario Kart 8 Deluxe gets free Switch 2 update, adds eight-player multiplayer, higher resolution visuals, camera support, and more

    The better Mario Kart, I'm afraid. I'm straight up gonna play 8 still. I don't want to race on a straight path anymore :sad:

    Xbox to offer digital licences with physical disc purchases

    Yeah, discs after installs are just DRM. After the Xbox 360 era, I moved entirely to PC and Switch. Didn't own a PS4 or Xbone till the end of that console gen so imagine my surprise when I learned the games don't boot straight from disc anymore. Whole game's installed to the console first, and...

    Editorial Worth the wait - a look at Elden Ring on the Switch 2

    I saw this game in action last year at PAX West. The performance was a little rough, glad to see it turned out alright!

    Pokémon X/Twitter account compromised to advertise memecoin

    I have friends who fly to different states to buy and sell cards at conventions. A lot of them make a profit too. Didn't realize how crazy it'd gotten till I saw those Pokemon vending machines. They limit inventory release in random 2-8 hr windows to deter loitering, else it sells out immediately.

    Pokémon X/Twitter account compromised to advertise memecoin

    You could say Pokemon TCG is already the ultimate memecoin

    Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look - now on YouTube

    Two thoughts simultaneously: 1. I'm not even a GTA fan, but I love gaming. Rockstar just makes massive playgrounds with as much physics and interactable nonsense they can cram in, and takes 10 years and thousands of people to do it. It's a spectacle, and a damn good one. I'm on board. 2. Good...

    How we cover AI-assisted projects - GBAtemp community check-in

    I have zero qualms about AI assisted code (I say that as a software engineer myself whose company also heavily pushes AI code). I'm convinced responsible use of AI code generation can make you like 25-50% faster (not 10x like some evangelists will spout, but meaningfully faster? yes). But you're...

    ASUS announces ROG Xbox Ally X20 pricing and availability

    Give me cutting edge perf and trackpads and you'll make my day

    ASUS announces ROG Xbox Ally X20 pricing and availability

    Unpopular opinion: I won't consider a PC handheld without touchpads like the Steam Deck. This colorway is cool though, reminds me of the limited edition Steam Deck OLED with the transparent case.

    Which season is your favorite?

    Late summer into early autumn. Settling down from the heat and bustle of summer into the colors of fall. I always associate this time with PAX West, back to school, my birthday, and a general sense of coming home from vacation and locking in. It always feels like a lot of festivities are in the...

    Cosy city-builder LEGO Skylines announced, set to launch on Steam, Xbox Series, PS5, and Switch 2

    Who hasn't seen those LEGO City sets and thought about building out a whole city full of them? As long as it's not as busted of a release as Cities Skylines 2 was, I'm interested.

    The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered announced, Switch 2 release confirmed along with free upgrade on all platforms

    In my head I thought they already remastered this game. It was a next-gen update but it felt like a remaster. Excited for the new DLC.

    'Kingdom Hearts IV' gets new trailer and release window

    You know what story I want to see end? Assassin's creed. They killed Desmond, then just didn't bother bringing the Assassins vs. Templar thing to a close. Guess they figured people only played for the historical settings and kept doing that. Same thing with Kingdom Hearts. Your casual fan...
