Official Switch GameCube remotes can go for upward of $80. You know the drill. Nintendo releases a limited run of something, scalpers go crazy, Nintendo drags their feet on reprints and the world continues to turn. It's been a while since w...

The Switch, like the 3DS, exhumes personality. I just love that little "snap" when you break off pieces of the Joy-Con and slap them back into the system, but a recent update introduced a harrowing, spooky change: the little "click" animati...

SNK is an interesting company. For years they dominated the arcade and home fighting game scene, pumping out IP after successful IP. Then all of a sudden, Konami style, they kind of just stopped doing it. Now the publisher is back in busine...

Remember when the Steam Controller was recently on a closeout sale for five bucks? Well I thought it was kind of uncharacteristic that the sale kept running for a long time, and it turns out Valve "mistakenly" took more orders than they cou...

The development process of the Atari VCS has been a long one, but bosses insist that the crowdfunded console/PC hybrid is on target to meet the most recently announced release date of March 2020. A new Q&A was published on Medium by Ata...

The other day someone asked me how to tell "the different Switches apart?" Wait, what? After pondering that inquiry for a few minutes it hit me like a Professor Layton puzzle solution. I got it! The Switch Lite. Wait no that's not it, there...

We'll make this post quick and easy because of how limited time these deals are. As of writing, you can still pick up a Nintendo Switch Lite for around $170 (plus tax) at Rakuten thanks to their site-wide 20% off Black Friday coupon code (B...

As Thanksgiving dinner ends, so begins Black Friday shopping. A tradition as old as time (or whenever marketers came up with this idea), this time frame appears to be moving earlier and earlier. In fact, from what we can tell most of the Bl...

It's Turkey Day and if you're one of those lucky PC gamers who don't have a potato for a system, you may just be shopping for a VR head-mounted display this holiday season - especially because Valve has suddenly decided to start printing mo...

If you're thinking of picking up a new gaming laptop this holiday season, we've rounded up some of the more wallet friendly offerings this Black Friday. The best bang-for-your-buck machine in our opinion is an MSI GL65 15-inch gaming laptop...

8BitDo has been doing killer work in the controller realm, and over the past few years they've really cemented themselves as one of the leading third party manufacturers for Switch remotes. Now they have something a little different in mind...

Over the past few weeks, I've ended up using my Switch Lite quite a bit. Whether it's loading it up with indies that I don't have on my regular Switch or a few AAA games and transferring saves between them, I really adore the portability an...

We've been down the streaming road before. No, OnLive's early attempts are not what most would consider modern streaming. As folks have "pulled the plug" and moved on to ubiquitous streaming platforms, the mere mention of digital media has ...

A newly-surfaced Sony patent has given us our kinda-sorta first glimpse of the PlayStation 5 controller. Even with a side-by-side comparison, you'd be forgiven for mixing it up with the PS4's DualShock 4. The new design retains the same ov...

Xbox sure knows how to slash prices for big holiday promos, and Black Friday 2019 is no exception. Microsoft is taking $150 off the top for Xbox One X console bundles and $100 off Xbox One S systems. From November 24 to December 2, the cons...

The video game hardware company 8BitDo has been on a roll lately, and while its latest device is highly niche, it's also fascinating. The company is now selling an NES-style wireless mouse for PC and Mac. It's as if someone reached into a ...

Recently Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa announced that Nintendo's enhanced focused on digital content (on top of DLC) was paying dividends, but don't expect the publisher to pass those savings on to hardware discounts. Speaking in tha...

PCs are a dangerous business. "Oh I need a new rig, let's do some shopping...oh God no I'm about to spend $6000" is a common occurrence when window shopping for PCs. In fact, that fine line of finding something cutting edge/future proof yet...

I kind of love how everyone is constantly asking Nintendo about how the 3DS is faring. I mean they're big strong execs, they can take it: but at some point Nintendo just has to admit defeat and move on. For now, they'll smartly be content w...

Just recently Nintendo revealed that they have pushed 41.67 million Switches across the world by the end of the third quarter of this year. Thanks to new information, we have an idea of how a few major regions contributed to that number. Fo...

As the PS4 surpasses the Wii and the original PlayStation with over 100 million units sold (with a 2013 head start), the Nintendo Switch, which launched in 2017, has hit 41.67 million units sold worldwide. The new figure comes courtesy of N...

Sony Interactive Entertainment Japan has filed new trademarks for "PS6", "PS7", "PS8", "PS9" and, you guessed it, "PS10".Of course, this is no strict confirmation of plans to release said five consoles over the next few decades, this is mor...

The GameCube controller was a contentious beast back in the day, but love for it has grown considerably since its release. Not only are fans tracking down those relics of remotes for games like Super Smash Bros., but hardware manufacturers ...

We've reached an unusually collaborative point in our industry. Back when Sega was part of the shit-slinging crowd alongside of Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft, anything went. Developers would openly dump on other platforms, games would be clo...

Microsoft has been making huge strides this generation and a lot of people haven't noticed. Look, I get that we shouldn't forget the initial draconian DRM reveal for the Xbox One. But when people were excited to find out that Sony is focusi...
