People have talked for ages about Nintendo possibly adding GameCube stuff to their online service. The news finally came true during Wednesday's big Switch 2 announcement. Everyone feels super excited about these classic games coming back. You'll need two things to play them, though - the fancy version of Nintendo's online plan called Expansion Pack, plus the brand new Switch 2 system. Regular Switch owners can't access these GameCube treasures at all.
Nintendo plans to release these old favorites gradually over time. When the Switch 2 arrives in June, players can enjoy just three games: Wind Waker from the Zelda series, Soulcalibur II, and the racing game F-Zero GX. The company showed a quick peek at seven more games coming later...
Eidos Montreal still loves Deus Ex. They asked many companies to make a brand new game in this series. This happened after big company Embracer stopped work on an earlier Deus Ex project. The game team visited lots of publishers, hoping someone might want this fresh idea. Nobody said yes. One publisher even claimed the Deus Ex games appeal to a very small group of players. The team tried really hard by talking to every possible partner they could find. This means fans probably will not see any new Deus Ex adventures soon.
Companies that publish games have become scared to try anything risky. This sad fact came from Tom Henderson during a recent podcast about gaming news. Deus Ex Mankind Divided from 2016 will stay as the last game in...
Nintendo just changed its US plans for Switch 2. You can't reserve one on April 9th, as they first said. The company needs time to check how new taxes might affect prices. They still plan to sell the system on June 5th worldwide, but many people worry about paying more than the already announced $449.99 price tag. This delay almost certainly means higher costs for buyers in America.
Even at the current price, some reviewers question whether the Switch 2 offers enough value. Nathan tested it early and felt unsure about spending that much cash despite seeing big improvements. The new machine does everything better than the first Switch—games look prettier, the system feels nicer to hold, and the controllers work more reliably. But Nathan...
Nintendo just shared a big talk with Hidetaka Miyazaki about his company's surprise game "The Duskbloods." Nobody expected FromSoftware to make a game for the Nintendo Switch 2. Miyazaki leads FromSoftware as president and has created famous games like Dark Souls and Elden Ring. His team started making this game for the old Switch but changed plans when they learned about the new, stronger system. They decided the extra power would help them make a better game.
"The Duskbloods" mix players against monsters and other players. Miyazaki finds this setup exciting because it lets them try many new ideas. He made sure everyone knows they still love making single-player games. They plan to keep making games like Elden Ring alongside new...
JPMorgan still thinks Tesla shares will drop. Today, they rated the car maker "Underweight" with a price goal of $120, which sits way below where Tesla trades right now. The bank points to "brand damage" they never saw before. Tesla only delivered 355,041 cars last quarter, matching what JPMorgan feared would happen at worst.
The bank asked if they missed how many people turned against Tesla because of Elon Musk's political work. Other market watchers think factory changes hurt Tesla's delivery numbers. Tesla stock jumped 5% when news hinted Musk might quit his government job. Then it fell 3.5% after he said the news was wrong. Yesterday, things got worse, as shares fell 6.6% before trading started.
JPMorgan cut their profit guess for...
News reports say Intel might team up with TSMC, which seems strange because these companies fight hard against each other in the chip-making world. The Trump team wants America to make more chips again, and Intel could help make this happen. Reuters mentioned that TSMC and Intel agreed to run Intel's American factories together. If everything works out as planned, this might bring important chip technology back to the United States.
Nobody knows all the details yet, but people say TSMC might own 20% of Intel's chip-making business. These rumors started because TSMC needs to avoid new taxes on their products. They can only do this by working more with Intel and spending money in America. Many think Intel has good days ahead, but nobody...
Xbox Game Pass faced doubts when it started in 2017, but players quickly fell in love with this subscription plan. The service has brought in serious cash over recent years.
A former Xbox boss named Richie Choudhary shared on LinkedIn that Game Pass made $2 billion yearly between 2019 and 2021. These numbers look great on paper, though we can't tell if the service actually makes a profit since those details remain hidden from public view.
Game Pass gives players amazing value, but it hurts regular game sales quite a bit. Any title that shows up on Game Pass loses about 80% of its expected full-price purchases on Xbox systems. Big mainstream releases might fare slightly better. Yet, certain types of games actually benefit from joining...
US rules keep China from buying top-tier AI chips from NVIDIA. Instead, Chinese companies must use less powerful AI chips called H20. Yet these weaker chips still attract huge business. Chinese tech giants ByteDance, Alibaba, and Tencent have placed orders worth over $16 billion for these H20 chips. This shows how much NVIDIA has won in the Chinese market despite limits.
DeepSeek briefly dropped NVIDIA stock prices. Then, their AI systems, DeepSeek R1 and V2, sparked new AI interest across China. Chinese companies started racing each other to build better AI systems. Because of this competition, they bought lots of NVIDIA hardware. The rush created big supply problems that NVIDIA finds hard to fix.
Chinese buyers can also purchase an...
A trusted source just shared exciting news about The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion remake. According to NateTheHate, who answered fan questions online, this game should come out before May starts. He has correctly predicted many game releases before, making his words very trustworthy. Plans might change, but players can expect to visit Cyrodiil again very soon with fresh graphics and better gameplay than ever.
The remake hasn't been officially announced yet by Bethesda, but we've known about it since 2022. Xbox boss Phil Spencer mentioned it during an FTC hearing, letting the cat out of the bag early. Rumors say Virtuos makes the game using Unreal Engine 5, adding many new features to improve the experience. These include updated fighting...
