The launch of the Nintendo Switch 2 is just about a week away, yet Nintendo is still drip-feeding news about the Switch 2’s new features that’ll separate it from the original Switch. Via the Nintendo Today app on Tuesday, Nintendo shared that a new set of features on the Nintendo Switch Online platform will make its N64 games both more forgiving and more nostalgic. First up is the ability to...
Head to the URL starwarsweb.net and you may be somewhat surprised to find yourself on the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) homepage.

Tekken 8 is not sitting well with its community, and the latest gameplay trailer for Fahkumram didn’t do them any favors. Bandai Namco released the trailer on May 26, showing off the character’s move set, motivations for fighting, and subtle changes to the fighter’s design. The returning character will arrive as paid DLC on July 8 in early access and July 11 in general access, a part of Tekken 8‘s...
As a console, the Switch 2 is definitely one of Nintendo’s more iterative hardware follow-ups. Both pieces of tech have the same overt sleek design with detachable controllers, and both consoles have significant overlap of their game catalogs. You’d think this might push Nintendo to try to differentiate their offerings as much as possible in the marketing, but no. The Switch 2, like Switch, comes in a red box. It’s...
We've come a long way with liquid coolers. The first generation was known for being loud and at risk of causing a puddle in your PC. While the latter is a slightly unfair reading of the upcoming tech at the time—a leak was uncommon and my ancient Corsair H100i is still going strong—the first part isn't. Older liquid coolers make a lot of noise, and a big part of that...
Two months in, Assassin's Creed Shadows continues to trundle along quietly in the videogame background, presumably quite pleased with itself for pulling in a bunch of players and making such good use of its delays that Ubisoft now wants to delay a whole bunch of other stuff. The game's 1.0.5 patch released today, bringing a new quest, some tweaks 'n' fixes, and—for reasons I am still turning over in my...
Cache co-creator Shawn "FMPONE" Snelling has announced that Valve has bought the map outright, following its addition to the CS2 Workshop in early March, and a mention in the background of the game's latest update. Responding to player Aqua saying "this pretty much confirms that Valve bought Cache," FMPONE confirmed the news:"Thank you for playing Cache," said FMPONE on X. "Thank you to Sal Garozzo for allowing me to work...
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is, as far as JRPGs go, relatively short. Not too short, mind—if you want to throw yourself into its endgame challenges, you'll be spending about 60 hours, and there's always New Game+ if you want to do the whole thing over again.Given Sandfall Interactive's team size (around 30, not counting contractors and the like) one might wonder if that was a problem of budget. Not so,...
