    Nintendo's Customer Appreciation Sale goes live in the US, made possible by tariff-related refunds

    As I just went to look this money pulling attempt sale, I just realized I own like 99% of the games in it anyways. The only game I was thinking about getting was Kirby Air Riders, but nooooo, they can't put that one on there. I don't own Tears of the Kingdom or that Echoes one, but I'd rather...

    PS1/2 [REQUEST] English patch for "Dragon Quest Monsters 1 & 2" (PSX)

    Wow, about time. I think this was one of the games that got me into modding games and romhacking and the like. I used to check in it like twice a week, and then totally forgot. And that was like 5-10 years ago. I'll definitely have to give the translation a whirl.

    Nintendo's Customer Appreciation Sale goes live in the US, made possible by tariff-related refunds

    As much as I don't have as much hatred for Nintendo as some of the people I've seen on this site, it is still wild to me that a company can try to use tariff refunds as an excuse to run a digital sale where 100% of the profits go to the company anyway... How is this comparable to tariff refunds...

    The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Direct recap, Ocarina of Time remake release date revealed

    I'm quite conflicted on the way the game looks. Looks GREAT, though I'm not a fan of the lighting, but it just... doesn't look like OOT. Hopefully I can overcome that, it looks pretty cool (okay aside from that microphone, thing) and I'd love to at least give it a try...

    Pokemon Yellow added to first generation recompilation library, voxel mod updated to support "3Dish battles"

    I'll admit I definitely like the idea of a recompilation and giving people the choice to add what they want in these games. That being said not a big fan of that 3D voxel mod. It just looks weird, especially compared to other 2.5D pokemon games I played in my past. I'm glad people get the choice...

    Narrative newsroom thriller 'Static Hour' announced

    That preview image definitely looks like AI. idk about the game itself, but that preview looks like something I'd see directly on the Nintendo eShop if I scrolled down long enough. The game does look well put together in the video, but as people before have stated this being a companies first...

    Valve says that the Steam Machine will be priced like a PC, not a console

    I'm all for this type of device and all, but I won't be buying one... I already have a PC lol. And a pretty good once. Running Linux, all thanks to Valve integrating Proton and the like. I do like the boundaries that Valve are pushing with Linux though. Wouldn't have been so easily able to...

    Ah yes, the XCrocs. Perfect.

    Nintendo responds to Crimson Collective hacking claim

    Typical corporate response. Now to see what they actually got... I mean Nintendo could be telling the truth. But who knows.

    Pokemon Legends: Z-A has leaked a few days before launch

    This is neither shocking, nor really all that impactful in my opinion. Multiple YouTubers I watch have ways to get games early from retailers so I'm sure it's not hard to get a copy to leak since the game is already in stores in the back. It will suck for the "story" but I doubt it's that deep...

    New content from the GameFreak Teraleak has appeared online, includes Legends Z-A source code and upcoming Pokemon game plans

    I always find leaks like these more interesting for the ability to see the development process, more than anything. Source code is certainly cool; I don't even intend to buy Z-A at this point, and won't until it's been out for a while... Can't trust GameFreak to put out a finished game nowadays.

    Anbernic RG DS teased, a sub-$100 dual-screen retro handheld

    I have three spare DSes that multiple family members gave me throughout the years sitting in the closet. It's cool these things exist and all, but I don't need them when I have the original hardware. Now 3DS which can be upscaled, that's a different story to me.

    Editorial Anbernic RG Slide Impressions

    I don't really see the point in these. I had a GPD XD back in the day, and that was the closest I've ever been to having something like this. With the rise of handheld computers like the Steam Deck and such which can run linux based programs and games, as well as the mod-ability of Switch, 3DS...

    Game Freak releases a new found footage teaser trailer unveiling a new Mega evolution for Pokemon Legends Z-A

    "Here's a slightly jarring rendered trailer of some Pokemon and new mega evolution. Ignore the lack of in-game footage." I swear every trailer for this makes me more and more tempted not to get the game. Well, that and the fact GameFreak has yet to actually fix Scarlet and Violet... How hard is...

    Lawfirm aims to protect Roblox whistleblowers while Roblox faces lawsuits and a documentary about its child safety issues

    I like the Streisand effect here. Been complaining about Roblox not doing anything, for years. I'm glad to see this hit the mainstream (again, really) since the BBC thing didn't seem to do all too much back in the day.
