Last November, we ran an op/ed speculating about the performance improvements the Nintendo Switch 2 could bring to the vast library of Switch 1 games.

As people discovered yesterday, the newly released Nintendo Switch 2 is compatible with a variety of generic USB webcams for use with GameChat. That’s great for people who already have a webcam in their possession and don’t want to shell out for Nintendo’s official camera. What if you wanted to…
Update (9/29/23): The Brazilian rating board has removed the Red Dead Redemption 2 listing and replaced it with one for the first game, meaning it was almost certainly a clerical error. We probably shouldn’t expect RDR2 on Switch anytime soon. Red Dead Redemption released on Nintendo Switch relatively recently,…
Few stories have affected the media landscape over the past few months than the strikes by WGA (writers) and SAG-AFTRA (actors) against film and television giants in Hollywood.

The next full moon is this Friday, September 29th – which by sheer coincidence and definitely not planning is when pre-orders open for Limited Run Games’ physical release of Persona 3 Portable on modern consoles. Time never waits. It delivers all equally to the same end… That's right- Persona…
Capcom has had a pretty successful few years, putting out great new titles in flagship franchises like Monster Hunter and Resident Evil. And nobody loves success (and buying it) than Microsoft, who is currently trying to acquire Activision Blizzard in a long, tangled web of corporate legal proceedings. After internal…
Nothing quite screams “I’m a 90’s Kid” more than transparent tech. Back then, everyone in the tech industry was releasing new devices in a variety of transparent-colored shells, with Nintendo being no exception to that rule. Whether it was the amazing “Atomic Purple” Game Boy Color console or the “Extreme…

In many ways Hideki Kamiya and PlatinumGames are inseparable. While plenty of other developers have contributed to the studio’s output over the years (Kamiya wasn’t involved in Astral Chain at all outside of a supervising role, for example), the vice-president and his very unique presence on social media have led…
