    Bloodstained's randomizer and Zangetsu update is slated for release on May 7th

    I was assuming this was going to be similar to playing a Richter in SOTN, so this looks pretty much what I expected. Though an alternate scenario, or a Zangetsu specific area would have been a nice touch.

    Ex-Donkey Kong world record holder Billy Mitchell to sue Twin Galaxies for stripping his record

    I am a lawyer but admittedly I don't do civil litigation. From what I have gathered, (I've seen the headlines and watched a video or two, but haven't read the complaint put out by Mitchell, or read what Twin Galaxies put out), Mitchell's claim in court is that in the declarations made by Twin...

    GBAtemp Exclusive Join us for a GBAtemp Game Night, featuring Super Smash Bros. Ultimate!

    I will definitely keep a look out for these events in the future. Depending on work I may be able to get in this time.

    Valve launches Steam.TV, intends for it to compete with Twitch

    I think this is a fine move, they've already had technology to share your play experience with your friends for awhile--so this isn't a ground up investment--it's incremental iteration on a concept they're already pushing. Also, Twitch's market prominence is something you would definitely...

    Kickass Torrents shut down by US government

    Two notes: (for those wondering in response to two issues) 1) For the claim that there isn't enough evidence alleged in the complaint. At the complaint stage they only need to allege the facts establishing a prima facie case--i.e.--you don't have to lay out all of your evidence then. Also of...

    Gaming is Dead, and Here's Why

    Just to present a counter-point: THE LACK OF INNOVATION I think your piece really underscores how subjective this can be. You bemoan the 3DS 3D capability as "gimmicky" but champion the DS's dual screen setup. The DS also featured touch screen capabilities that were largely gimmicky and beyond...

    Thanks for the info, I guess I'll get on updating then.

    Hacking How To Softmod (Hack) Your PSP

    Okay this is probably a dumb question, I have CFW 5.00 M33-6 on my psp currently. Should I go through the trouble of upgrading? What are the benefits, further game compatibility? If I have games that are currently running on this firmware and I update will I still be able to run them? I've been...

    Portable games console Gamestick set to launch

    I still think that it is just not the way they are generally used. Google the term "console wars" how many hits do you get referring to handhelds? How many images refer to handhelds? Google "best console", "worst console", how many refer to what are traditionally thought of as handhelds? In...

    Portable games console Gamestick set to launch

    Well, I think that harkens back to what I talk about when we muddy the language, things become more amorphous. If you google "console" handhelds don't appear, if you google "handhelds" consoles don't appear. There is not a person who would understand "console" unqualified to include handhelds or...

    Portable games console Gamestick set to launch

    Well there are always outliers that are hard to classify:

    Portable games console Gamestick set to launch

    I'd like to respectfully disagree. This may stem from differences in the common usages from where you are from as opposed to where I am from but I do thinks this qualifies as a portable console. Over time the blur between portable handheld devices and consoles has increased in terms of gaming...

    'Scribblenauts' creator Warner Brothers sued for Nyan Cat, Keyboard Cat easter eggs

    My final in copyright law is in two weeks! Let's see what I remember: Technically in the U.S. copyright is granted when an idea is fixated in some tangible form. So you don't need to apply for copyright to get a copyright, but you do need to register a copyright to sue for certain kinds of...

    Playstation Vita Presentation Tomorrow

    I am a new vita owner (got a really good deal that got me off the fence) so I'm hoping for a lot of good news! I have been playing and loving Persona 4 Golden so far, so hopefully the news contains a lot of games that will come stateside.

    Steam Database Shows Halo 3, Dyad, Fez, and more

    I hope that King of Fighters ends up with better netcode, it was sadly unplayable on console, perhaps it could get a rebirth on steam.

    Sony to abandon DualShock design for PS4

    I doubt it will be the only controller, even the WiiU realized the need for a more mainstream styled controller. The playstation 4 could always go the Wii route and make PS3 controllers compatible as well. I'd be very surprised if it was only a tablet controller.

    CryEngine 3 Trailer Shows What Next Gen Consoles Could Be Like

    I do realize many games have taken to digital distribution, both of the developers I named that yielded the console market (Cave and Treasure) have both made games for iOS and XBLA (and frustratingly a lot of cave titles are Japan only Xbox 360 releases). I agree that it will help out balance...

    CryEngine 3 Trailer Shows What Next Gen Consoles Could Be Like

    What I worry about is how this engine will affect game budgets. Games are already becoming more and more expensive to produce. This has made companies less willing to take risks (less new IPs, more sequels, more homogenization across genres, etc) because they think if it's not pushing high end...

    Hardware 3DS Revision still possible?

    One thing to remember is the reasons many companies put out revisions of their handhelds. Sure you sometimes get better performance, but similar to consoles after release often there are new design decisions that can be made to reduce the price of manufacturing. That is one of the main...

    Hardware Reselling the Wii U at launch date

    Coming out first always makes it difficult to be the most powerful system. The Dreamcast was similarly designed to be in competition with the generation it released ahead of. (While I personally loved my Dreamcast, I wouldn't argue it was more powerful than the systems that surrounded it.)...
