Since the Nintendo Switch 2 is the hot new thing in gaming right now, it only makes sense that other companies would be worried about the device eating into their sales. As one of Nintendo’s two main rivals for the past 30 years, Sony has gone head-to-head with Nintendo’s consoles…
The launch week for the Switch 2 has seen Nintendo’s latest device put up some incredible numbers by any measure. With the device becoming the fastest-selling console of all time and even launching in Japan to nearly one million units (which might be higher if we take My Nintendo Store…

A few months back, First 4 Figures announced it acquired the Metal Gear Solid license for a statue in its ever-growing range of collectibles. Now it’s up for pre-order, in quite a few variants. The core concept of the figure is the same across all of them though – Solid…
