NES Maker, the software for making homebrew NES games has been released in its initial state. The software will be adding more functionality in the future with more features.
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
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
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."
I see this ending badly for them.
I love the idea of this and the spirit behind the endeavor.
However, given Nintendo's recent form I think the developers could find themselves in hot water.
I can see Nintendo now -
"We want to preserve the NES as a system professionals and early studios first started their projects. The idea of wanting to make games past its initial life would only hurt those projects that were built in the early days of the NES. Therefore, it is our duty to ask for those who run this software to please stop and seek other avenues to help preserve those early works as they can't be duplicated as they were back then."
Then the White Knights of Nintendo -
"YEA NINTENDO! DO IT! NUKE THE IDIOTS!"
While the smart -
"Seriously?! Where are people suppose to start if you kill off projects like this? And preserving what exactly?"
