Almost exactly 10 years ago, I was at GDC participating in a demo of a service I didn’t think could exist: OnLive. The company had promised high-definition, low-latency streaming of games at a time when real broadband was uncommon, mobile gaming was still defined by Bejeweled (though Angry Birds was about to change that), and […]

Apple Arcade is Apple’s new cross-platform gaming subscription

View More Apple Arcade is Apple’s new cross-platform gaming subscriptionNintendo reportedly has high-end and low-end Switch consoles in the works
Nintendo released the Switch just over two years ago, in March 2017, and it’s not going anywhere. But it may soon have some company.
There are reportedly two separate Switch hardware revisions in the works, according to a new report from the Wall Street Journal. They could be released as early as summer 2019, presumably following an announcement at the annual E3 trade show, which happens in June.
While this info definitely lives in “rumor” territory, there are reasons to believe it. For one, the WSJ is an established media outlet and a trusted source of news — including scoops like this one. The report also cites multiple sources — “parts suppliers and software developers for Nintendo who have access to a prototype of the machine” — so it’s not just one, lone voice doing the anonymous talking.

Could Walmart be the next big company to launch a game streaming service?
Google stole this spotlight at this year’s GDC with the launch of Stadia. What the game streaming service lacked in specifics, it more than made up for in buzz. The software giant certainly isn’t the only one eying the space, however. A new report from US Gamer puts Walmart in the running, as well. The […]

Even the most successful tech company is going to have a stumble from time to time. Nintendo’s 45 years in the video game industry is spotted with a few doozies, but none are more infamous than the Virtual Boy. The 1994 portable console was marketed as an early home entry into virtual reality, but in […]
View More Nintendo’s Labo: VR Kit is not Virtual Boy 2.0Nintendo is on to something with its simple and cheap Labo-powered VR
It was announced as “simple VR.” And that’s exactly what it delivers.
Nintendo chose wisely in using Labo to plot the company’s path into a virtual reality future. There’s already a global market familiar with the idea of “cardboard VR” — and cardboard, of course, is the glue that holds Labo together — and the low-tech approach keeps the price family-friendly.
Now, having actually spent some time playing with the Labo VR Kit, I’m happy to confirm: It’s good stuff.
Let’s talk about what’s in the box first. A basic $40 starter set gets you the VR Kit software, the cardboard pieces you’ll need to build the headset — which includes a hard plastic component for the lenses — and the Toy-Con Blaster, one of several build-it-yourself peripherals that work in tandem with the headset.
