    Did no one ever make 720p TVs?

    The shift to HD was odd times. A sub-class of "HD ready" sets weren't actual televisions (they contained no TV tuner or coaxial connector to even plug in an antenna).

    Have an original playstation (rca cable and multi-av) and want to go HDMI.

    The AV out is the easy part. PS1, PS2, and PS3 support the same RGB cables. (even in NTSC markets where it saw little use) Except I haven't kept up on what adapter is recommended today.

    Low-level 3DS emulator 3Beans released alongside setup tutorial video

    I have to hope accurate is a priority. Unsightly as it might be, the severe jaggies are inseparable from recreating the experience of playing games on 3DS hardware.

    Paper Mario PC recompilation "ReCut" gets its first pre-release build

    3DS has numerous advantages. Circle pad pro (analog control), wider top screen, much larger storage (try to imagine how many Pokemon boxes you could have, if it used the SD slot for a save file 32GB+)

    Pokemon Platinum PC port gets a surprise release

    Well, making excuses for piracy is worse than piracy. I don't want sob stories about this company's bad business practices, or that game has become too expensive because scalpers

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 to launch on Nintendo Switch 2 in October

    Something about each year for the last 20 years, at least one COD game has entered the year's top-ten selling games (even if not first place)

    Pokemon Platinum PC port gets a surprise release

    The game assets are included. Ethically there's no difference between linking to this port, or simply attaching the rom to a post on the forums.

    Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa explains Switch 2 price increases in recent Financial Results Briefing

    Nintendo's tone aside... I'd like to know how these folks would act if the bill-of-materials to manufacture THEIR product increased in price.

    Is it still necessary to make a closed gaming system?

    Say what you will about DRM, yeah. Since when has a console without at least token "security" been widely liked and successful? In the early generations, before lockout mechanisms, there was still the logistics of manufacturing physical bootlegs.

    Twilight Princess PC port "Dusk" gets its first release

    Certain game engines are simply that way. Even blockbusters like Final Fantasy X didn't, and never have, supported more than 30FPS.

    Twilight Princess PC port "Dusk" gets its first release

    Pirates will be pirates. Bashing consoles for difficulties running unauthorized software on a device with modifications that weren't tested by the manufacturer.

    Nintendo announces price increases across the board, set to come into effect from September in western regions

    Times have changed. That is how much manufacturing costs have increased since the PS5 launch.

    Nintendo announces price increases across the board, set to come into effect from September in western regions

    I don't understand the negativity either. For the strength of its library, Switch 1 is plagued by performance issues. If Switch 2 offers respite, that's gotta be worthwhile no?

    Mega Man 64 Recompiled (PC Port)

    The PC version of Legends is so mediocre, it's been more fruitful to pursue these projects (rather than modding the old port)

    Xbox CEO hints Project Helix may block Steam, limiting appeal of console PC hybrid

    Precarious, this is. Supporting a mere fraction of PC games will vastly boost the library. But a console that runs arbitrary code is an open invitation for pirates...
