The Nintendo Switch could soon be the sort of platform that gets the same games at the same time as the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, according to the head of Panic Button Games.
Adam Creighton, director of development and co-owner of Panic Button also noted that the developer will have a new major port for the Switch to talk about next month.
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
Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."
Today, Koei Tecmo announced its financial results for the full fiscal year 2025, related to the period between April 2025 and March 2026.
Good! The more parity in release timing they aim for, the better the chance they'll have at higher sales.
I know there's exceptions, but generally the last version of a game to come out is the one that sees the least amount of sales, because the common consumer isn't as patient as devs wish they were.
Panic Button has been doing awesome work on all of their ports and content. I’m pretty much game for anything they bring. It’s really good to hear them say something like this about Switch. The hardware is solid and games play great on it, and I’ll usually pick a switch build over others if I want to play the game on the go. It improves the value proposition for me a lot. These guys definitely get that.
A few playable ports done well after release doesn't make Switch a great place to make games for simultaneously. Look what happened with PS Vita games there were actually quite a few games made for Vita and PS3 hardware at the same time and sometimes under the same studio. It was too much work. Ultimately the power differential between PS Vita and PS4 is about the same too which is to say that Switch is about 1/6 the power of PS4 on paper. In practice (going by software) it looks to be much closer only halving framerates and still dealing with performance under 30hz plus cut down visuals ultimately still doesn't appear too bad but comparisons with last gen software show Switch in the least favorable light.
Many ported games from last gen look and/or run better on last gen hardware than they do on Switch.
