Switch games have been able to run on the Nintendo Switch 2 since day one, but they haven’t always looked the best in handheld mode. Blowing up the older games’ 720p resolutions on the 1080p display left some titles looking blurry and indistinct, but now that ‘Handheld Mode Boost’ is here with update Ver. 22.0.0, that issue is long gone.This new mode allows these games to run at a higher resolution in handheld mode, basically doing the dock’s handiwork but for players on the go. That means there’s no better time to grab some cheap Nintendo Switch game deals, like…
Final Vanguard is a real-time sci-fi 4X grand strategy game that puts an unusually big emphasis on migration. We’ve seen migration mechanics in many 4X games – pops can shuffle about in Stellaris as you slop your colonies across the map, populating the periphery and slowing the development of your homeworld – but Final Vanguard’s creators Heavy Pepper Inc want the feature to be central. It’s part of an ambition “to model a civilization made up of interconnected systems that influence one another over time”, with everything from fleet manoeuvres to industry forming part of “a network of…
We’ve all seen the yaasified, DLSS 5 Leon Kennedy and Grace Ashcroft. In fact, I think I see them every night, stalking the darkened corridors of my nightmares like one of the horror game’s monsters. It’s not the prettiest sight in the world, and one that Capcom has come under fire for. Nvidia’s new AI-driven technology has quickly become a laughing stock, and while its CEO is a staunch defender of AI usage, Capcom’s kept relatively quiet on gen AI – it’s interested in “experimenting” with it for ideation, but that’s all we’ve heard so far. As part of a…
Nintendo Switch is the second most popular brand among Japanese teenagers, beating out the likes of Disney and Pokémon.That’s according to a new survey by Nikkei, which asked Japanese teenagers and adults their views on various brands to determine which are the most powerful in Japan.The Brand Japan 2026 survey – the 26th such survey that has been carried out – involved a large sample size of 37,000 Japanese citizens, and looked at 1,000 brands of companies, products and services.The results were then split into two charts – one for respondents under 20 years of age, and one for all…
There are now slightly fewer games on the PlayStation Store, as Sony has removed everything from a pair of publishers who’d been pumping games onto the platform. Around 700 releases overall, many of which used generative AI assets, were deleted as part of ongoing efforts to clean up the offerings available.The delisting was first noted by a user on the PSN Profiles forum, who noted that the entire catalog from Nostra Games is no longer available to buy. The outfit, notorious for putting out work such as Be A Bee, Angry Battalion, and Fridge Escape with regularity, had close to…

Machine learning and AI tech like DLSS 5 and its predecessors cause issues when preserving and exhibiting games, a museum curator has warned.Last week Nvidia announced DLSS 5, the next generation of its image enhancement technology, which it claims is “the most significant breakthrough in computer graphics since the debut of real-time ray tracing”.Response to the tech was mostly negative, with players accusing it of applying an unwanted filter of generative AI visuals over the original graphics.The tech – and similar upscaling and AI enhancement tech like it – also produces problems for preservation, according to Chloe Appleby, program curator…
A huge new Crimson Desert patch is here, rolling out a number of fixes and improvements, including the addition of storage at Howling Hill Camp and more fast travel points.Patch 1.00.03 comes following a post from developer Pearl Abyss a couple of days after the massive open-world game’s launch, thanking players for their support while noting that “we have been listening closely to your feedback and doing our best to make improvements to the game.” Specifically, the devs acknowledged that “we are aware of the discomfort many players have experienced with the controls, and we are currently preparing a patch…
Ah, it turns out the eyebrows raised by suspiciously AI generated-looking art found throughout Crimson Desert weren’t wrong in their lanate liftage. Developers Pearl Abyss have aplogised for failing to disclose their use of asseets made using “experimental AI generative tools”, claiming that these were just mockups created early in production and were never supposed to make into the final release version of the game.
