    "Knuckles" Paramount+ series gets its first trailer, premieres on April 26th

    Knuckles has always been a bit bull-headed. Not necessarily "dumb", but intellect isn't his greatest strength. He is regularly duped by others and quick to lash out in aggression. I think it's fitting for his character. Actually, many of the Sonic games clearly take place on earth, or at the...

    Valve announces new OLED Steam Decks with up to 1TB internal storage and some hardware revisions

    A ton of people do. If you're traveling, it's great for a plane ride, hotel, etc. But mostly I like to be able to sit and play next to family, regardless of where or what they are doing or if the TV is occupied. If you live alone that's probably a non-issue, but it makes a big difference for...

    Meta announces its VR games subscription service, Meta Quest+

    All the people comparing this to Game Pass are hilarious. How quickly you forget Games with Gold (or PS+, for that matter), which is a much more accurate comparison. I'm going to defend Meta on this. VR games are expensive, and discounts are a lot more scarce than on other platforms. For many...

    Nintendo Switch Online adds GB, SNES, and NES games this month

    Yo, Kirby Tilt 'n Tumble is legit a great game. I remember trying to emulate it several years back and it just wasn't the same with an Xbox controller. With proper motion controls, it's definitely worth a replay. :)

    Nintendo eShop closing down in Russia, limited to only re-download pre-owned titles

    Nintendo had already stopped physical shipments to Russia a year ago, so effectively the eShop is what was left. Also the part that isn't mentioned which I think is kind of important is that many payment providers stopped accepting Russian currency. It's hard to blame Nintendo for shutting it...

    Blizzard faces antitrust lawsuit against the US Justice Dept. over esports wages

    I don't think this one is as cut-and-dry as it might sound. While "suppress[ing] the wages of esports players" sounds horrible on paper, pay-to-win is equally bad. Maybe the goal was to prevent a corporation with a lot of money from swooping in and buying the best players, making it impossible...

    [UPDATE] Microsoft signs 10-year agreement to bring Call of Duty games to Nintendo consoles

    This is entirely because Microsoft is trying to acquire Activision Blizzard and to do so they need to convince people they aren't anti-competitive.

    16-year-old claims to have hacked Nintendo's developer portal, leaks 50GB of files

    This is just stuff every Switch developer has access to. While it is proprietary and under NDA, it's not exactly hard to imagine someone social engineering their way in. It also doesn't really do anything for users. A lot of this has leaked before, and while a newer SDK theoretically means the...

    Early footage from Horizon Forbidden West's unreleased multiplayer mode discovered

    There's a lot of people speculating "I hope it ___ when it releases"... Given that this is from 2020 and leaking now, I doubt it is releasing. They probably scrapped it, and that's why the individual decided to leak it... Because their hard work will never see the light of day.

    Windbound leads October's Games with Gold

    Waiting for the day they finally merge Gold with Game Pass permanently. Seems like they're getting away from giving away quality games and just want you to subscribe for the rotating offerings of game pass.

    Microsoft will no longer give away Xbox 360 games for Games With Gold

    Guys... Xbox 360 was released in 2005, and it's successor in 2013. It's surprising they kept it around this long. All things must end, and it was long overdue with Series X|S out now as well. No, they won't replace it with more Xbox One/Series titles. Those games carry a heck of a lot more...

    Overwatch 2 will be free to play, enters early access this October

    Yes. They're calling it the "Founder's Pack", with 2 epic skins, a special icon, and "a surprise gift" Blizzard has said OW2 will be "free to play" but haven't really clarified what that means... It's a given that it applies to the PVP, but I still have a feeling that the PVE will be a paid...

    Sonic Frontiers: World Premiere gameplay trailer

    The limited view distance causes a lot of pop-in which is a little jarring. The floating objects in a realistic open-world environment do look out of place. But that said, I don't really know how they could have done it any other way. Sonic is all about platforming, and it just wouldn't work...

    Sonic '06 has randomly reappeared on the Xbox 360 digital store after 12 years of being delisted

    As awful as the game is, games shouldn't be removed from purchase, period. Good on Sega for bringing it back.

    Editorial GBAtemp Recommends: Knockout City

    If you want to experience this game properly, play it on PC, not Switch. Besides the obvious aim aspect with this being a lite shooter, the Switch version has some performance issues and WAY more lag, server disconnects, etc. YMMV depending on your internet connection, but it stands to reason if...

    Steam Deck production expected to hit "hundreds of thousands" by next month

    The statements are not contradictory at all. You can have confidence in the hundreds of thousands of units being produced and still believe a queue is the right solution for the immediate future. The demand is in the millions.

    Hacking Doubts Regarding having CFW on switch (mostly about emuMMC)

    1) When you create an emuNAND partition, it will clone from your sysNAND. That means you'll get the accounts, save data, etc. all as it was. After that, you are free to delete things from the emuNAND and it will not effect sysNAND (and vice versa.) You don't really need to unlink your account if...

    Will you use your Deck as a computer?

    No. I love my desktop setup and when I can use a desktop I will. My Steam Deck is going to be reserved for gaming on the couch/bed and when I'm traveling. I can see why some people would want to install Windows or a different Linux distro to "unlock it" from the confines of Steam OS (or...

    Polymega console to start shipping next month for early pre-orders

    While there are many other emulation devices, I think this has potential, even if it is niche. A few key differentiating factors: Multiple consoles in one box is appealing. There are some other devices which do this like RetroN, but overall it's the minority. The modular design means they could...

    Intellivision announces new casual-targeted console

    I think these are right on the nose. I doubt this console will "make it" for these very reasons. The appeal is pretty niche... I could see some parents of young kids taking interest as a way to introduce their kids to gaming in a family-friendly way. But then why wouldn't you just get a Switch...
