At the beginning of the year, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth launched a hell of an opening salvo. The latest installment in the long-running Like a Dragon/Yakuza series is comically full of things to do. On one hand, it’s a turn-based RPG epic, splitti...
It's seemingly confirmed that Horizon Zero Dawn is getting a remaster, despite the fact it really doesn't need one. Sony is focusing on making the games look a bit cleaner and visually striking instead of rebooting or porting franchises that people actually care about. Although it hasn't been officially confirmed that a Horizon Zero Dawn remaster is coming, it's quite likely since the rumor has been floating around since 2022. People now believe this is happening because the supposed remastered version has been rated by the ESRB, listening to PC and PlayStation 5 as the platforms. In the latest Game […]
Joker 2, technically titled Joker: Folie à Deux, is just a couple of weeks away, and the final trailer has arrived to try and seal the deal for potential audience goers who are still on the fence about whether a “jukebox” musical is how they want to se...
The A18 Pro powering the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max had already cemented its position as Apple’s fastest smartphone silicon to date by being 18 percent faster than last year’s A17 Pro in Geekbench 6’s Metal benchmark while also trading blows with the M1 in the single-core and multi-core department. In the latest GFXBench Aztec Ruins test, the newest SoC once again reaches a new performance plateau, but a closer look at the comparison reveals that it had to operate at a higher power draw to achieve this difference, resulting in a worse ‘performance per watt’ ratio. In the […]

Ryujinx, one of the last remaining major Nintendo Switch emulators, is already able to run today's Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door remake at 60FPS. Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is out today for the Nintendo Switch, but those owning the Remake's ROM were already able to successfully run and play the game on PC through the Ryujinx Switch emulator. Not only that, but the emulator managed to run the game at 60FPS, whereas, on Nintendo's platform, the game is locked at 30FPS. In addition, the game runs in higher resolutions on PC than on the Switch. We've included a video […]

Don’t worry though, we’re here to cut The Thousand-Year Door’s more confusing aspects down to size. In order to kick off Chapter 3 of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, you’ll need to get yourself a blimp ticket to the floating island of Glitzville, but doing so is a little more complicated than getting to where you need to go for Chapter 1 or 2.

Don’t worry though, we’re here to cut The Thousand-Year Door’s more confusing aspects down to size. Unlike most recent entries in the series, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is a full-on RPG, with Mario gaining levels in a straightforward manner by earning Star Point XP by winning battles, but what about your various non-Mario party members?

Don’t worry though, we’re here to cut The Thousand-Year Door’s more confusing aspects down to size. The new Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door features a revamped, more richly-orchestrated soundtrack, but perhaps you prefer the Gamecube original’s more funky lo-fi sound?

It seemed like we’d never see another game like Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. While there have been plenty of Paper Mario games over the past couple of decades, Nintendo has intentionally steered the series away from the RPG mechanics, original characters, and sharp-edged humor it was initially known for. As a result, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door has taken on a certain symbolic importance to some spurned fans even though it wasn’t a particularly big hit in its day. Needless to say, it came as a bit of a shock when Nintendo announced a full remake of the game […]
The soon-to-be-released Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door remake doesn't run at 60 frames per second like the original GameCube release, but it is likely due to the developer's choice to prioritize other things over frame rate and performance. Talking on X/Twitter, Abebe Tinari, director of Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon, provided some interesting insight that likely applies to the upcoming remake. For a long time, the Bayonetta Origins development team tried to get the game running at a stable 60 FPS but only achieved so in certain stages, while in others, it was impossible without reducing visual fidelity.

Nintendo and its fans usually get a long pretty well, with the Paper Mario franchise being an unusual bone of contention. For many years Nintendo has stubbornly attempted to dial down the quirky stories, unique characters, and RPG elements that defined early entries in the series, much to the chagrin of a particular cadre of fans. As perhaps the last true RPG in the series, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door has taken on a certain symbolic importance to those spurned fans even though it was never a particularly big hit, selling fewer than 2 million copies on Gamecube. After decades […]
Nintendo and the Paper Mario fanbase have not had the healthiest relationship for some time now. Most fans consider the series to have peaked with the Gamecube title Paper Mario: […]
Nintendo has officially announced that it is suing PocketPair, the creators of Palworld, in collaboration with The Pokemon Company. In a statement on NintendoCoLtd on X, Nintendo filed a patent infringement lawsuit in the Tokyo District Court on September 18, 2024. This lawsuit aims to seek an injunction against infringement and damages after PocketPair allegedly infringed multiple patents in Palworld. This news isn't surprising, except that it didn't come sooner. Palworld was first released in January 2024. In the game, there are plenty of "Pals" that look incredibly similar to the creatures in Pokemon, to the point that it's bordering […]
