A lot has been said about the level of performance expected out of the Nintendo Switch 2 console, but it seems like the console will have a hard time matching the Xbox Series S performance, according to a notable leaker.

Even regarding ray tracing performance, the Xbox Series S would still come out on top. The rumored […]
The Nintendo Switch 2 price is expected to be somewhere between $399 and $499, although, in theory, Nintendo could even go as low as $349.

In a new video from YouTuber 'Moore's Law is Dead', these specifications are indeed considered to be […]

That said, the M.2 NVMe SSDs used in next-gen consoles and the Steam Deck may be too […]

Yuzu, the original Nintendo Switch emulator created by the developers of Citra (an emulator for Nintendo 3DS), has been hit by a Nintendo lawsuit. Originally spotted by Stephen Totilo, the lawsuit was filed in the US District Court of Rhode Island against Tropic Haze, which is the entity that operates Yuzu. Nintendo is seeking damages and a total shutdown of the emulator software. The Japanese company alleges that Yuzu 'facilitates piracy at a colossal scale', bringing the example of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom hitting over a million downloads before it was even launched on the console.
