Hi. It’s that time again – Nintendo Switch 2 in the headline, and some analysts have said a thing. You’ll want to listen too, because it’s an estimate of the price you could be paying for the console, not that these experts seem to reckon how much it costs will have much effect on Nintendo’s ability to shift “boatloads” of units early on. This news comes as we’re inching towards that special Switch Direct that’s coming up in less than a month, so we’re nearly into peak release hype – though we still don’t know exactly when that’ll be.

Sigh. Here we go. Because everything’s got to involve some shitty AI tech now, Xbox has just shown off a gaming version of Microsoft’s Copilot AI that it’ll be deploying at some point, so that you can ask a useless AI assistant stuff like, er, “Okay, I’ve got some wood.

Hello. Konami has announced that it’s holding a Silent Hill transmission stream later this week, and it’ll offer you a look at Silent Hill f, a game which reminded us all that sometimes you can just tell capital letters to go do one. While we’ve had some Silent Hill stuff recently, like the very good Silent Hill 2 Remake thanks to collabs between Konami and Bloober Team, we’ve not had a mainline entry in the series for a good while. That’s the spooky void f will be filling. To see this content please enable targeting cookies. Manage cookie settings Anyway,…
