Month: October 2025

All aboard the Ecliptic Express. Rumours regarding a potential remake of Resident Evil 0 have been simmering for a little while now, but a new report from mp1st (thanks, Pure Xbox) has added further fuel to the fire. The remake is supposedly real and currently operating under the codename ‘Chamber’, which is presumably a blatant…

It’s no screenshot button, mind. Nintendo Today! has scored a tiny update, pushing the app up to ver. 2.0.10 with the addition of a brand new share button. Yep, a share button. It’s hardly the most groundbreaking fresh feature, but considering how the company previously removed the ability to take in-app screenshots or nab screen…

Can you see it now? Nintendo Sound Clock: Alarmo has received a small software update; it’s first since March 2025. When we say small, we really mean it.

Pika-who? Welcome back, one and all, to this week’s edition of Box Art Brawl! It was the NSO newbie Fatal Fury Special that got put under the microscope last time, as we matched up two covers for this SNES brawler. Overall, it was a pretty one-sided fight. The colourful Japanese variant walked away with 68%…

Sega celebrated the ‘Year of Shadow’ in 2024. Last year, Sega ran a year-long campaign for Shadow the Hedgehog that lined up with the release of Sonic X Shadow Generations and the introduction of the “Ultimate Lifeform” in the live-action Sonic movies. This was generally well-received by Sonic fans, and it’s now led to some…

Anything is possible after Virtual Boy’s revival. The Switch Online service has already been expanded with GameCube games this year, and the Virtual Boy library will be making a comeback early next year.
