    Anbernic RG Rotate announced, a retro Android handheld with a rotating screen

    I still don't understand the appeal of most of these "retro" handhelds. If you want a DAP, buy a DAP. If you want a portable game console... buy one decent one and stop rebuying a slightly different thing every time they release a new one? I could understand if they had a big jump in...

    The Neo Geo AES+ is a modern take on classic hardware with no emulation in the picture

    It's super-cool but the website kept giving me errors after setting my region to NZ, so I'm assuming they won't ship here, and I definitely can't afford the Ultimate Edition, which is the one I'd want the most. The prices aren't amazing but they're also about what I'd expect for what you get...

    Digital Nintendo-published titles to be cheaper than physical releases going forwards

    I wish people could be banned just for sucking off a company so hard. Some of the people in this thread are beyond delusional. They already increased the price. They're calling this a price cut/discount to act like they're doing you a favour. Surprise: they're not doing you a favour. People are...

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

    Nintendo can fuck right off. Most of their recent releases can barely even run on Switch 1, anyway, and the Switch 2 is a scam (unless you buy the Japanese-only version, but then that doesn't change the terrible game prices and DLC practices). I've been playing Princess Peach Showtime, for...

    Nintendo has released another Fire Emblem mobile game

    Heroes is trash and egregiously monetised, even in the realm of gacha games. I'm sure this will be no different. Not that it matters, since western Fire Emblem releases suck. They usually "translate" them so poorly (it wasn't just Fates, and not just Fates and Engage) that it's scarcely even...

    Bowser is retiring from Nintendo at the end of this year

    I love how these threads always devolve into politics because a bunch of smoothbrains can't understand that women can be criticised for being shit, not just for being women, or that Nintendo has never been their friend (and now both at the same time). I'm just going to leave this here to...

    Hardware Be careful with third party cables. Friend was just banned for using a USB C to HDMI Cable. It was flashed with a custom FW to work with the Switch 2.

    You're assuming his story was true. It is very likely not true, nor has he provided any evidence other than what appears to be a tall tale. Also, his MIG cart matters because it means he might have used it in his friend's device (assuming he isn't lying and it wasn't just his own device) and...

    Hacking Speculations about Switch 2 hacking

    That's cool, but Switch games are effectively sandboxed so I'd be surprised if this was usable. There have been virtual machine escape vulnerabilities like the recent CVE-2025-30712 with VirtualBox, but I expect it's probably much harder to do something even remotely similar on Horizon OS...

    Gaming Borderlands 4 has TWO DRM Layers and requires a 8-Core CPU.

    Surprise, surprise, Randy Bitchford is at it again. I wish people would stop giving money to that twat.

    Xbox Games Showcase 2025 - Persona 4 remake announced

    I love Persona 4 but I'm so very sick of remakes. P4G is available on most platforms these days and is perfectly fine as-is, albeit not as good as Persona 5 in the dungeon department. Plus, they'll likely find something new to censor like they always do with these games.

    Hacking Major Security Vulnerability Reported

    Beat you to it: https://gbatemp.net/threads/speculations-about-switch-2-hacking.665635/page-18#post-10670009 It's unconfirmed though, so I'd hardly call this news right now...

    Someone in china successfully run MIG on Switch 2

    Second video in the OP post seems to be broken (or it's my browser, you never know these days) but it's still on BiliBili. Considering MIG is basically trying to emulate a legitimate cartridge and you can still use Switch 1 carts on Switch 2, I wouldn't be surprised if it really is as simple as...

    Hacking Speculations about Switch 2 hacking

    Here's something to get people's hopes up for no good reason: He won't name his source but apparently someone has found an exploit that Nintendo is investigating. No idea what to make of this but I wouldn't put much stock in it right now. It'll be hacked, it's just a matter of when. I don't...

    Sony to raise PS5 prices in certain countries

    They already raised the prices here in New Zealand about a year ago (maybe two years ago). Either way, I'm still not buying a PS5 and it still has no games.

    Nintendo delays Switch 2 pre-orders in USA over ongoing tariff situation, release date unaffected

    Is this thread actually about the Switch 2, or is it just people complaining about Trump yet again? There's a containment section for politics, but even the mods are joining in on this one... If you want to complain about prices, come live in New Zealand (but actually please don't, we don't...
