They may be sparse, and they may be minor, but the Xbox 360 is indeed still getting the occasional update! The most recent of these was just a few days ago, on November 12th, with prior updates happening on August 21st, 2019 and lastly the “first update in two years” happening on May 22nd of […]
Yesterday the full 20 games that will be featured on the PlayStation Classic were announced to a mixed reception. Some love the games presented, some are questioning what Sony is thinking, and others are stuck in the middle, slightly conflicted about the games list. Consider me in that middle group. Before I continue, let’s actually […]
Yesterday, during their E3 conference, Microsoft finally have a name, a price, and a release time to their long anticipated “Scorpio” project: Xbox One X. While yes, as always you can make some jokes about the name, the fact remains the console, spec wise, looks absolutely amazing. What we have advertised is: Dolby Atmos Sound, […]
This is it. Tonight. Midnight (or opening time for stores not doing a midnight run) is the launch of the Nintendo Switch. March 3rd, a day many a gamer has been waiting for is finally here. Already friends of mine are waiting outside for the chance to get theirs at midnight, with others planning to […]
Here we go again! Popping up today was a rumor that Nintendo is ending production on the NES Classic Edition in the upcoming months. Now, back in early January or so, I had said that the NES Classic was a holiday only item, information that was given to me by a reliable source – this […]
So, Nintendo finally told us what we needed to know about the Switch. About damn time, now all the worthless rumors and speculation can end and the real anticipation and hype can begin. I’ve always hated the pre-announcement period of consoles, games, and what have you, since it’s inevitably filled with nonstop speculation of the […]
Tonight, or should I say tomorrow morning in Japan, Nintendo will finally tell us what we need to know about the Switch. Oh yes, that console, which will release in March, will finally be unveiled to the masses in detail, and the online gaming community is hyped. I for one, am passively excited. As cool […]
At least, if you want to buy a new one. It indeed looks like the WiiU is done with retail sales. I haven’t seen hide nor hair of one since before Christmas, and upon checking the day job, the console is sure enough in a discontinued status for sales. It’s only a matter of time […]
Crossing my radar today is an article from a few days ago on the website WGG (never heard of it before today) stating that it would seem the WiiU, which we now know is no longer produced in any capacity, is no longer properly available, at least from Best Buy. I can’t say at all […]
I am not one to follow the rumor train – generally they are all just wild fantasies that someone gets wind of and spreads it like fact, when it’s clearly unlikely. Generally though, rumors of the end of production on hardware and software tend to be true more often than not. In this case, just […]
So, just as I expected, the Switch is not going to be able to play (at least physically) Wii, WiiU, or 3DS titles. This isn’t surprising, since the console uses a physical cartridge port, rather than an optical drive, for games. What I’m surprised at, although I still expected it, is how upset people are […]
Working in game sales for the day job, I quite often have parents buying new video games, and new game consoles, for their children.That’s great, let the younger ones game on cutting edge hardware for their time, just as I did in the 90’s. The thing is, it isn’t the 90’s anymore. Gaming hardware is […]
