Gaming News So Small It Gets a Second Thread

8BitDo M30 just got a whole lot sexier

[CMcK]

So much nicer with the Saturn colour scheme. Don’t seem to be available on the 8bitDo shop yet though.

[dataDave]

They've been available for a few weeks at least. They must have sold out.

The USB-C connection is welcome as well. I'm going to wait a bit before ordering another pair of black ones once they get the same treatment.

****, Quake II remaster is out!

There's a series of 2D side scrolling horror games on pc called tsugu no hi that have a very creepy artstyle, i played the first couple many years ago as the maker gave them away free on his website. I never expected in a million years they would be ported to consoles & appear on the switch out of nowhere years later. Think it got a release everywhere but i spotted it on the japanese news channel on my dashboard and downloaded it for 800yen & it turned into english so it's probably on all the eshops. The games are short but man the atmosphere is something else they are so good.

AmiAmi have their own LE as well.

Definitely nicer than the 360 port's cover, but still second to the PS2 / original art. That's about as high a bar as can be set, mind.

[importaku]

The art on the LE box looks nice as well

The previously unknown partner in a $2 billion video game mega-deal that mysteriously and dramatically collapsed last spring was the Saudi government-funded Savvy Games Group, Axios has learned.

Why it matters: The fallout of the failed deal sent shares of The Embracer Group — Savvy's would-be partner, and one of the most voracious acquirers of video games studios in the last several years — plummeting, and forced it into cost-cutting mode.

Forget the PlayStation Project Q - how about a new PlayStation 2 Portable - with real PS2 hardware ...



(It does look like that video is Ali Express sponsored tho, so bear that in mind while watching).

[wakka]

That's cool. Reminds me of the stuff Ben Heckendorn used to make back in the 2000s that they used to write about on Engadget all the time.

Why is it that they always get the aspect ratio wrong though? It makes me sad.

Small nugget of news... Starfield has gone gold and is up for pre-install tomorrow.

It's apparently 123gb on Series X.

[dataDave]

I'm estimating it's going to take at least four more years before the words "gold" and "Starfield" can be used sincerely within the same sentence.
