Joined by Xbox’s “gaming PC on the go”.

We’re at the point in the year where various outlets, companies, and events are handing out all sorts of nominations and awards.

It mentions how this list features 300 of the “best inventions making the world better, smarter, and more fun”, and includes categories like robotics, accessibility, apps and software, and artificial intelligence.

An extension of last year’s ‘Teraleak’.

Pokémon Legends Z-A may have already leaked online, but that apparently isn’t devastating enough for Nintendo and The Pokémon Company.

Now, the alleged hacker behind last year’s ‘Teraleak’ – in which huge amounts of data had leaked online – has now supposedly returned and released Legends Z-A’s source code, beta builds (including two from PC and three from Switch), and around 10GB of related documentation (thanks, My Nintendo News).

Appa Cut.

Well here’s something that we weren’t expecting. Fresh out of New York Comic Con 2025, we got our first peek at Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game (working title), an upcoming one-on-one fighter heading to Switch 2 in Summer 2026.

We don’t know all that much about what this one will have in store just yet — heck, the title will almost certainly change in the next 12 months — but the pre-alpha footage is looking pretty sweet.

It’s pretty much why you think.

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is out now on the Switch, but with sub-optimal performance, many fans are eagerly awaiting its eventual release on the Switch 2.

In a new interview with Traxion, series producer Takashi Iizuka explained why the game needed more time before launching on the Switch 2, and his reasoning is pretty much in line with what we’d expected. Supposedly, the Switch 2 launch date of 5th June 2025 meant that the development team simply needed more time to optimise the game properly.

Ready? Set? NSO!

We are back, back, back with another edition of Box Art Brawl!

Last time, it was the Virtual Boy in the spotlight, as we matched up a duo of covers for Teleroboxer. It was two very different designs and they pulled in very different results, but the North American variant took the dub with 69% of the vote, leaving the Japanese box with 31%.

Update: Official Season Pass trailer released.

Arc System Works Europe has just announced that the ever-so-slightly-delayed 2D fighter, Hunter x Hunter: Nen x Impact, releases today on Nintendo Switch.

Not to be alche-missed.

When it comes to the Atelier series, variety is the spice of life. One might think that more than 25 games deep into developer Gust’s long-running RPG series, the sheen of that trademark gameplay loop of collecting materials, learning recipes, and crafting items via alchemy would start to dull a little. Yet, with the introduction of each new entry and corresponding sub-series, Atelier constantly finds ways to reinvent itself and offer a unique spin on its tried-and-true gameplay systems. From the darker and more action-focused Atelier Yumia to the sprawling adventure saga of the Atelier Ryza trilogy, each title has its own distinct identity.

That’s why Atelier Resleriana: The Red Alchemist & the White Guardian, the 27th mainline entry in the series, is such a complicated game to explain. So much of its identity is owed to what came before it. It’s simultaneously a standalone sequel to a free-to-play gacha game, a major crossover event that incorporates characters from past entries, and a self-proclaimed return to the series’ turn-based roots. At the same time, it’s also very much its own thing, chronicling an original story with new leads and fresh gameplay concepts.

It’s a lovely release, so do check it out if you haven’t already.
