    Limited Edition Zelda-themed Switch 2 images have leaked online

    This looks good. I'm guessing it'll drop after the price increase, before the new model, and sell out in 0.2 seconds.

    Can it be ported to N3DS?

    ROM Hack Better Super Mario Sunshine Online released, adds online co-op and custom hide and seek game mode to play

    This is the sort of thing Switch Online should provide

    ROM Hack Ocarina of Time 3D gets huge mod to enable single-screen play

    It was an N64 game designed to be played on a single TV screen, later adjusted to better suit the 3DS. While the N64 version was criticised for needing the item menu too much in some locations, that's nothing compared to BotW and TotK, which are closer to football management games with their...

    Gaming Mario Kart Tour is being retired

    I didn't expect this to happen this year but here we are. The timing seems significant, with game preservation a hot topic this year. I wonder if there will be a community preservation effort like there was with Dragalia Lost. I never got into the game as the early release was too easy. I gave...

    Sony is moving away from physical discs, will soon only release PlayStation games digitally

    It's not really for getting stuff done, it's for showing the scale of opposition. If nothing else, a big response is a demonstration of sentiment to Nintendo, who are the only console company that hasn't announced plans for all-digital next gen.

    Sony is moving away from physical discs, will soon only release PlayStation games digitally

    I'm asking what this "loophole" is?

    How? 1783165523 That was fantastic.

    Sony is moving away from physical discs, will soon only release PlayStation games digitally

    You misinterpret the dichotomy. It's not money vs other. It's power vs other. 1782993623 Absolutely. Before retro got trendy I was getting old carts and discs for under a few dollars. Way cheaper than they were on Steam or eShop. I'm still not sure Retro is trendy. I only know a few people...

    Sony is moving away from physical discs, will soon only release PlayStation games digitally

    It's not the leadership role I'm talking about. When Gabe dies ownership has to transfer, and the 40% tax bill on that is going to be a problem. I'm sure they have a plan, but it would be nice to know what it is. I'm guessing they'll use a trust in a smart and protective way.

    Sony is moving away from physical discs, will soon only release PlayStation games digitally

    Mad isn't it? We have this great cheap storage medium and it's just being discarded cos people are perceived as too lazy to put a disc in a slot. I think it's a shame that 8cm Blu-rays aren't the standard digital storage medium. They're so nice to handle. 1782943274 Best case is the launch...

    Sony is moving away from physical discs, will soon only release PlayStation games digitally

    What happens to Steam when Gabe dies is a concern. I think employee-ownership would be smart. Valve mustn't go public or the banks will be calling the shots. For employee ownership to work the firm might need to expand, meaning it will need to buy studios or hire their staff. Now would be a...

    Sony is moving away from physical discs, will soon only release PlayStation games digitally

    I suppose the counter-point might be that people tire of all-digital and there's a physical media revival across industries. Music albums, films, tv shows, magazines... I wouldn't be surprised if it happens. I think the era of physical media was better. But I also agree the all-digital future...
