Sony announced that four more DualShocks were on the way for the PS4 this fall, but Microsoft isn't taking the controller war lying down. Announced today at Gamescom (yes that started) by way of their Inside Xbox stream, Microsoft unveiled ...

Sony really gets me on new DualShock 4 purchases. It's probably been the most faulty controller I've ever used in my life (and I've been gaming since the Atari 2600), with two of them failing due to crumbling analog rubber and two more dyin...

We're a little over a month away from the release of the Sega Mega Drive / Genesis Mini. After a series of frankly pretty crappy attempts to capitalise on the emulation console market, Sega is hoping this much-improved venture will capture ...

It's about time Microsoft came out with another limited-edition Xbox One X, wouldn't you say? Right on cue, the next major bundle is a Gears of War-themed console with a laser-etched, partially translucent case. Pre-orders will begin later...

When the Neo Geo Mini launched last year, a lot was said about how poor the controls were. While the original Neo Geo hardware has some of the finest gamepads you'll ever experience – even if the button layout is a little odd – ...

Just recently an engineer that goes by the Reddit username "VectorDriver" put up a fascinating breakdown of what is causing some Switch systems to brick. The bricking problem has been a thing for the past several years and is most famously ...

The latest set of Nintendo financials have hit and there's a lot to unpack here, but we'll start with the 3DS. Amid bi-monthly discussions about whether or not the 3DS is going the way of the dodo, Nintendo is reporting that the now-eight-y...

Nintendo has been having a real problem with Switch Joy-Con drift. In case you've been living under a rock (or filter out all news regarding the Switch), the issue involves the default Switch remotes "drifting," or, making it seem like the ...

When it comes to console controllers, right now, I'm good. They all (more or less) work as intended. I've got enough of them to go around for local co-op get-togethers. I shouldn't be out here paying attention to new color variants. I'm not...

While Lyle and I continue to dabble in the potential of these new versions of himself, here's what's been happening in video games this past week: Switch hardware upgrades and changes are coming! PUBG is trying to add a backstory for some...

Yesterday Nintendo unveiled two new color bundles for the pricey Joy-Con remotes, and someone has already taken it upon themselves to give us all of the new color combinations. LimeheadGames has whipped up a Joy-Con chart that showcases the...

Nintendo has another batch of Joy-Con colors on the way. Starting October 4, Switch players can stand out in the crowd with two new controller sets: blue/neon yellow, and neon purple/neon orange. I can't lie: I'm digging that neon orange J...

It looks like the murmuring had merit: Nintendo has announced a new Switch base model with better battery life.  Using Breath of the Wild as a basis for comparison, Nintendo notes that the old model could tough it out for roughly three...

While Lyle and I continue to seek the pocket of whispers that hold the secrets of this world, here's what's been happening in video games this past week: The rumored Switch Lite is a reality!  Ion Maiden is now Ion Fury because of ...

Out of all of the handhelds in my collection, the Game Boy Advance SP Classic is one of my go-tos: I just love bringing the SP with me on trips (combined with the Macgyver-esque headphone adapter) due to its sturdiness and simplic...

A little more than two years into the Switch's lifecycle, and it seems as though Nintendo is ready to make some manufacturing changes. Some new internal components are expected to soon replace the ones that were featured in the debut model....

For decades now, Nintendo has produced special edition Game Boy/DS/3DS models for new mainline Pokemon games. It was an inevitability that collectors savored, as the little pieces of hardware would often sell out quickly and skyro...

After being badgered constantly by the press and investors alike (the latter literally just asked about it this past week), Nintendo has finally unveiled a new Switch model: the Switch Lite. Nintendo states that the device will be portable-...

CD Projekt Red came out of the gate swinging with its Witcher III Switch port. Not only did they tell us who was working on it with them upfront (Saber Interactive), but they also revealed that the entire game (plus DLC) would fit on o...

Are you ready for another VR headset to hit the market? Kinda? Too bad! Valve thinks so, and I've been putting the Index headset through its paces for the past month. My verdict? It's mostly a win for Valve, even if it isn't a massive shift...

I've been following the 3DS' path for the last two years fairly closely, from vague executive commentary to each and every game that's released on all Nintendo platforms for the past six years or so. Although Nintendo maintains that it's fi...

Remember "Will it Blend?" Although it's still technically airing, the show took off in a viral fashion back at the tail end of 2006, when the Wii launched worldwide. Yes, the Wii is 13 years old now, and roughly the same age as Will it Blen...

So the 3DS is currently getting passed over at Nintendo with a focus on both the Switch and mobile arena. Nintendo has moved over pretty much all of their efforts to the latter platforms, and had nothing to announce, 3DS-wise, at E3 this ye...

There are two inevitable conclusions about the Xbox Elite Controller, and sometimes they're at odds with each other. First, it's an incredible gamepad (which it better be, considering the $150 price tag). It's hefty and quality and springy ...

Today at their impressive E3 press conference, Microsoft delivered just what many of us expected, with new news on their next generation of gaming hardware, Project Scarlett.Microsoft's next generation console will feature a custom designed...
