The trailer by Project Dream (spotted by TheGamer), proudly proclaims “the adventure continues!” This fan made threequel is set 22 years after the events of Banjo-Tooie and the defeat of Gruntilda. And, for a pretty decent period of time, everything seemed to be calm and collected for our heroes. However, as with all good things, this time of peace is about to come to an end as “the old hag is back and stronger than ever”....
The new Game and Watch is pure nostalgia and a great collectible to sit on any Nintendo fans’ shelves or a display in your games room. While Nintendo has stopped making the Mario version, you can still find it on offer at some retailers for a reduced price. And it seems the most recently launched Game and Watch: The Legend of Zelda is now also enjoying a discount. If you’re a big Zelda fan and want a cool piece of retro-tech then you’re in luck as the Game and Watch: The Legend of Zelda is currently on sale at The Game Collection for under £30!...
When the game was announced back in February, many fans were perturbed by the new-look in-game characters, compared to the Miis used in Wii Sports. But Miis will be playable, on top of a load of customisation options for the new characters to tweak their face, hair, and outfits. The trailer shows off plenty of new gameplay of the six included games: newcomers volleyball, badminton, and soccer, plus the returning chambara, tennis, and bowling....
No other Nintendo home console comes close, though the DS handheld family shifted some 154m units over its long lifespan. And of course, the Switch is a hybrid console - consolidating games onto one machine for TV and portable play. Previous Nintendo consoles and handhelds co-existed in this same space. Still, the Switch beating Wii - and with several years in its lifespan yet to go - is a huge achievement for Nintendo....
The site allows users to upload custom images for use in their Steam library. Most of these are alternate cover images to customise a game’s appearance in the library, but it’s also used when a cover image doesn’t exist - typically when playing games through an emulator. This is why Switch game images have appeared on the site, which has since received a DMCA takedown notice, Games Radar reported.

Here’s everything you need to know about the essentials of No Man’s Sky’s multiplayer so far, based on our own experiences and what the community has found following Beyond’s debut. On this page: Instead, No Man’s Sky’s multiplayer has limits: there’s a maximum of 8 people in any instance on consoles, if the community has it right, and this goes up to 32 players on PC (the official word is that it’s “between 8 and 32, depending on platform”, as per the initial No Man’s Sky patch notes for Beyond....
According to Hello Games, Sentinel - No Man’s Sky’s first update of 2022 - is intended to make combat a more “dynamic and impactful” experience, providing the means to tackle the game’s hostile robotic Sentinels in “more meaningful ways” To that end, the update brings with it a broad array of improvements and refinements focused on enhancing combat feel and flow, as detailed in the latest patch notes. The headline features, however, are highlighted below....
So here’s the rub: the RTX 3060’s performance will be artificially limited when performing cryptocurrency mining, with Nvidia stating that the card will limit its hash rate by approximately 50 per cent. That should make the RTX 3060 far less efficient at mining and a much poorer value for miners, thereby reducing a stiff source of competition that ordinary consumers face for each graphics card sold. Instead, miners are being encouraged to buy new speciality mining cards that Nvidia is also announcing today, which won’t face the restriction....
I’ve been reading Vermilion Sands this past week, a collection of short stories by JG Ballard that are all based in a fictitious desert holiday community - Palm Springs or the scorched armpits of Arizona - at some point in the nebulous future. It’s a short book but I’m eking it out. I don’t want it to end. I knew I was going to love it - there’s Ballard, of course, but it’s also hard not feel something for a paperback that comes with its own 3D glasses for viewing the fractal depths of the cover art....
Marty O’Donnell and Mike Salvatori, who created the iconic Halo music used in the Bungie-developed Halo games and more Halo products, claim Microsoft still owes them money relating to royalties dating back 20 years. Lawyers representing the pair filed the lawsuit to a Washington state court in June 2020, and it has rumbled on ever since, with depositions and discovery undertaken. A date for mediation is set for next week, but if no agreement is reached, the dispute may go to court....
Kanezaka blends traditionally styled alleyways with Tokyo’s more contemporary city sprawl, all brought to life through some wonderfully rich environmental detail, ranging from accessible eateries and arcades to a pottery workshop, and even a particularly cosy looking cat café. Back in December’s Kanezaka-focussed developer update, Blizzard’s Jeff Kaplan explained the map is packed with easter eggs, some teasing future Overwatch lore and others simply fun stuff relating to the development team....
Speaking to Swedish financial publication Placera, Paradox CEO Ebba Ljungerud said of the upcoming immersive sim: “I do not think it will come in the first half of the year, but we will see.” Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2, which was initially due out during the first quarter of 2020 before being delayed twice, has been dogged by controversy. In June 2020, Paradox confirmed any content designer Chris Avellone had contributed to the game would be removed following allegations of sexual assault....
However, if you previously played Persona 5 and consider that sufficient studying, guess again. Persona 5 Royal overhauls this, giving you a near completely different set of class and exam questions than the original version. Some of them now fit the story better, while all of them still teach you interesting trivia about Japan and the wider world. Additionally, Persona 5 Royal now has segments in which you help our fellow Phantom Thief, Ann when she gets asked a question....
Plus, PES has some cracking player likenesses to pour over too, and combine them with a decent PES 2020 Patch, or option file, and our full PES 2020 real team names list, and you’ll be in for some pretty fantastic realism PES 2020 player ratings: the best players in PES, ranked Note that a previous version of this table was incorrect - now it’s up to date there are far fewer surprises in there, although perhaps David De Gea retaining top spot for goalkeepers (alongside Jan Oblak and Alisson on 90) after a slightly wobbly season shows Konami’s belief in the old saying that form’s temporary, and class permanent....
The previously-announced free DLC - which is out now and requires base game Plague Inc: Evolved - tasks players to “take control and stop a deadly global pandemic by any means necessary. Allocate resources to boost testing capacity, make facemasks compulsory, lock down countries or investigate experimental treatments in Plague Inc.’s biggest expansion ever!” It’s a switch from the game’s base game that introduces several new game mechanics to help the player end the spread of disease, not aid it....
Freedom to roam! And there’s a peculiar freedom of form too. Handhelds are allowed to be odd, because they’re objects - clue in the name here I guess - to be held in the hands, and the hands are curious things themselves. Just look at them. Maybe this is why handhelds are where normally sober hardware designers deploy rear touchscreens, or two screens and a hinge and stylus, where a cartridge might come with its own little rumble pack, or a light sensor for weaponising the sun as you fight digital vampires....
As leaked earlier today, Need for Speed Heat, Toem, and Granblue Fantasy Versus will all be available as free monthly games for PS Plus Essential subscribers. However, there’s even more coming to the PS Plus Catalogue for Extra and Premium subscribers.

Sony Japan Studio is PlayStation’s oldest first-party developer, having been established in 1993, and has frequently collaborated with external developers on some of PlayStation’s most iconic titles, including Bloodborne, Shadow of the Colossus, and Demon’s Souls. The studio’s last solo effort, however, was Knack 2 in 2017, and PlayStation’s decision to wind down development efforts at Sony Japan is - according to a new report by Video Game Chronicles - simply a result of the fact the team hasn’t been profitable enough in recent years....

These three starters are Bulbasaur, Charmander or Squirtle - which long-time players will recognise are the very same as those offered to players by Professor Oak in debut entries Pokémon Red and Blue. However, in a nod to fans of Pokémon Yellow and the TV show, it’s actually possible to have Pikachu as the starter Pokémon in Pokémon Go instead. While it’s not the only way to get Pikachu in the game - it can be found in the wild in several locations, as well as from hatched Eggs - it’s a nice little secret for those that want to bag the electric mouse straight away, especially if you want to see one of the game’s Easter Eggs as part of the game’s Buddy system....
