Hardware  Switch 2 Slated For March 2025 Launch - Report

Nintendo is reportedly aiming to launch Switch 2 in March 2025. While the company still hasn't officially announced its next system, apparently the hardware was internally delayed from this year to next to avoid any supply issues. As spotted by VGC, Nikkei has a new report detailing that Nintendo not only wants to beef up the launch lineup, but also the amount of Switch 2 systems initially available. Earlier this month, widespread rumblings suggested Switch 2 was pushed back to early 2025. No specific month was mentioned at the time, but it was noted that the company was looking to ensure the next system had a healthy slate of games ready to go. This timeline shift led to quite a significant stock drop for Nintendo. Another detail...

Gaming  The Biggest Game Releases Of March 2024

After two incredibly busy months, March is a more subdued affair when it comes to new releases. That doesn't mean that there aren't some big games to get excited for, but in comparison to February and its main-event debuts--like the rare leap-year release of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth on February 29--March provides some welcome breathing space. Some of the highlights this month include WWE 2K24, a game that has been overshadowed by recent controversies at the home of powerslams and RKOs hailing from outta nowhere. This year's Wrestlemania Showcase looks like a fun trip down memory lane, and with Wrestlemania 40 looking to be one of the biggest live events in WWE history, it'll be fascinating to explore the matches responsible for defining...

8 Horror Movie Franchises That Went To Space For Some Reason, Ranked

When you have a movie franchise, you have to keep it fresh, right? Raise the bar to another level. And sometimes, that level is taking the franchise to space. Fast & Furious did it. Transformers did it. Air Bud should have done it (Space Buddies exist, but that was puppies, not Bud). But regardless of which movies make the leap to outer space, nobody does it quite as hilariously as the horror genre. It's harder for a horror movie franchise, well-established on Earth, to find a reason to jump into space. Horror movies that already take place in space, like Event Horizon, make sense to take place up there--that's the whole point of the movie. However, what happens when you take familiar killer characters and blast them into the great...

ROM Hack  Refined Gold Overhaul v3.2 Is Out!

Update v3.2 for Refined Gold Overhaul, Tavern Trawl, is out and piping hot!

Certain Hoenn/Sinnoh Radio Encounters are also revised to make distribution more cohesive, along with some extra special Safari Zone buffs to integrate it into the player's journey without being a total pain.
