In 2007, console gaming got its first day-and-date digital release. The sci-fi war shooter Warhawk for the PlayStation 3 was sold as a Blu-ray disc in stores but was also available to buy digitally on PSN. The game is mostly forgotten now, but it was t...
At the end of its life, the Switch is still getting new accessories. Nintendo announced the handheld hybrid console will get a dedicated charging station for Joy-Con controllers in the fall. The timing is so strange it feels like it might have somethin...
Nintendo games and consoles never get price drops anymore, but they do occasionally get surprisingly decent discounts. Whether to capitalize on the lead up to Amazon Prime Day, or just unload some excess summer inventory, the stars have aligned for som...
A modded Nintendo Switch with 8GB of RAM is capable of running select PC games surprisingly well, but it fails to do the same with more recent and demanding games, as highlighted by a new video shared today. The new test, which was conducted like the previous ones by naga on YouTube, puts a modded console with 8 GB of RAM, CPU running at 2.6 GHz, and GPU at 1.26 GHz to the test by running multiple PC games using Box64 + Wine on an L4T Ubuntu 18.04 with custom kernel OS. While Devil May Cry 5 runs surprisingly well, […]

Hardware spending in the US declined by 40% in May on a year-on-year comparison, according to Circana (formerly NPD). This includes popular consoles such as the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5. The main culprit is the tough comparison with May 2023, which saw the release of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, a masterpiece and massive commercial success for Nintendo that drove lots of sales of Switch hardware. This May, Sony's PlayStation comes out on top. Ghost of Tsushima was the best-seller in May 2024, surging back from rank #71 in the chart thanks to the game's successful […]

The poor Wii U. That inexplicable console that was simultaneously too confusing to be useful, but too unexceptional to be inspiring. Meaninglessly carrying the weight of the name of the phenomenal success of the Nintendo Wii, it was—by most metrics—a r...
A modded Nintendo Switch with 8GB of RAM, instead of the vanilla 4, is almost the Pro model we never got, as it is capable of running multiple PC games rather well. YouTube user naga recently released a new video showcasing multiple PC games running on this modded system with 8 GB RAM, CPU running at 2.6 GHz, and GPU at 1.26 GHz using Box64 + Wine on an L4T Ubuntu 18.04 with custom kernel OS. While the low resolution is obviously expected, some of these games running particularly well. Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade, for example, manages to run […]
