The Humble Bundle website is currently offering an incredible Humble Friends of Nintendo Bundle! This bundle includes several indie games across both 3DS and Wii U, as well as full retail titles as well!
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
Today, Koei Tecmo announced its financial results for the full fiscal year 2025, related to the period between April 2025 and March 2026.
TNS - NCSoft CEO admitted that AI is rapidly becoming a core part of game development, but he added that it cannot replace what makes games fun.
To be fair, there are also human made games that release and lack any fun at all either.
Guild Wars 2 been playing for 14yrs, 1st beta. This is just one company I support, Arenanet and NCSoft, even though I torrent, there are a few PC companies I will buy from. "PlayStation’s Horizon MMO spin-off, Horizon Steel Frontiers." I feel this will be good, NCSoft is a good developer/publisher.
It’s a tool. Use it elevate things and get it done faster. I’m sorry but not every game made by humans is good. If this can help things, then I fully embrace it.
So....
If you pay anything, you will get codes for these three games:
Retro City Rampage: DX (3DS)
Affordable Space Adventures (Wii U)
Shantae and the Pirates Curse (3DS or Wii U)
If you pay more than the average, which is currently $9.12, you get these games:
Freedom Planet (Wii U)
Rhythm Thief & the Emperor’s Treasure (3DS)
Citizens of Earth (Wii U or 3DS)
If you pay more than $13, you will also get these two retail titles:
Super Street Fighter IV: 3D Edition (3DS)
Darksiders 2 (Wii U)
....verbatim quote from the article.
The only ones I don't have, are
Retro City Rampage
Affordable Space Adventures
Citizens of Earth
SSF IV: 3D ED.
Everything else I've bought at some point.
Out of all of the ones I've owned, if you're looking for the longest adventure, go with Darksiders 2.
Be warned that the Wii U version is missing a bit of DLC, but if you don't mind that, then it's an excellent adventure game that will tickle the fancy of any Zelda or God of War fan.
If you'd like a lighter adventure with a bit of quirk and comedy to it, go with Shantae.
If you miss the glory days of Sonic and want to play something similar to it, but with a fleshed-out story, really good voice acting, challenging bosses [especially the end boss; frustrating, but really satisfying to defeat] and interesting mechanics per character, go with Freedom Planet.
And if you're a big fan of rythm games and orchestral music pieces with a bit of European flair, go with Rythm Thief, and pay special attention to the Violin sequences, as those really stand out as BEAUTIFUL pieces that I think any classical music lover would love to hear in a real concert.
I think "incredible" is a bit of a stretch, especially considering most of these games are indies. Better than average sale for nintendo games, but that's not hard to achieve when their games rarely get more than a 15% discount, even years after release.
I just wanted Shantae on my Wii U: So I payed $1
Shantae and the Pirates Curse - I already had the 3DS version.
Affordable Space Adventures
Retro City Rampage: DX
As for these two games. I am saving the codes.
