In case you missed it following the barrage of summer gaming news and events, Square Enix launched Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (FF7 Rebirth) on the Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox on PC with Xbox Play Anywhere support earlier this month. It’s not a new game, as it initially launched on PS5 in 2024 and Steam in 2025. But this launch marks Rebirth’s debut on the Switch 2 and Xbox Series consoles. I’ve had the opportunity to try the game on the Xbox Series S in advance of writing this...
A pocketable handheld with a twist, we check out the latest Anbernic has to offer.

It's tournament time again! For those who missed out last month, I've been putting in some effort to gradually revive the GBAtemp tournament series. The current plan is to be hosting one event per month, but if interest does grow, so too could the number of events. This month we're again playing Pokemon, but we're moving to Pokemon Showdown to play a bit more of an interesting metagame: Mix and Mega. The core idea here is that any Pokemon can Mega Evolve, taking the same buffs as the Mega...
It's that time again. Batten down the hatches and ride out the storm, because we've got another Switch update! And Switch 2, but that's somewhat less impactful given the lack of custom firmware available. This one actually does something different depending on the platform, with the original Switch focusing on the eShop, and the Switch 2 adding features for the Dutch and Russian languages. Full patch notes can be found below.

With many a fantastic port under their belts, Harbour Masters return with a brand new project dubbed Lighthouse. Set to release next month, it'll once again throw Banjo Kazooie into the spotlight. This isn't the first PC port the game has received, with it getting a recompiled release earlier this year, but the team do have a hefty list of reasons to check this version out. Beyond the standard wide-screen support and support for higher framerates, it'll include a randomiser at launch where...

Since being decompiled Super Mario 64 has seen a considerable amount of interest. We've had multiple PC ports, but the efforts beyond that are really astounding. It's on the PS2, it's on the Vita, it's on the Xbox, PS3, Nintendo Switch, Wii U. Before this there was actually another version available for the DS too. So what makes this project so cool?
Based on the DSi port created by Hydr8gon, this new version runs fully on the original Nintendo DS system. This includes working audio, as...
