Time for taking flight? After last week’s OLED shenanigans things were a little calmer this time around, though there was still some intriguing news. Atlus is teasing big things for the Persona series, there’s a remarkably expensive Mario watch from Tag Heuer, and there has been a lot of focus on a potential simple fix ...
Over the weekend our lovely folk in the video team posted a detailed chat, above, asking a simple but intriguing question — “Why hasn’t the Metroid series traditionally sold well?” It’s a good question, and it feels like one with a lot of varied answers.

Another week, another addition to the Nintendo Switch family.

It’s time for an embarrassing admission: I apparently use TikTok so much that the app’s UI has burned into my phone screen.

Why don’t you get rid of something ...

Trust me, we’re as bored of the “BREAKING NEWS: SWITCH PRO TO HAVE BUTTONS????” as you are, but the latest is that the founder of XboxEra on Twitter is predicting Thursday as the announcement, but the more interesting thing ...
Another week has passed, with lots of intriguing news and a certain thing not appearing. You know what we mean, but let’s focus on stuff that actually happened. SEGA hosted its first Sonic Central, which confirmed three games and various other cameo appearances to celebrate 30 years, more games arrived on Nintendo Switch Online, there ...
