New court documents have confirmed that Sony’s PS4 console sold “twice as many” units as Microsoft’s Xbox One during last-gen’s “console wars”.

Three fans, led by Lumpy Touch, have taken Better Call Saul and Gameboy’d it. A three-minute teaser – which includes light spoilers for S1E9, S5E8, and S6E5, so be warned – lovingly recreates Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould’s Breaking Bad spin-off as a monochrome Gameboy game, complete with plenty of fan service touches, including one of the scariest things I’ve ever seen: a happy Mike. The demake includes character options – which ranks your three playable characters Jimmy, Kim, and Mike by their Guts, Hustle, Authority, and Lawyer traits as well as unique passive skills – cut-scenes, and even a…

The person responsible for putting PT onto the Sony storefront – as well as having to take it back off again – has spoken about the situation for the first time. Pearl L., who was Konami’s first-party lead at the time, took to Twitter to talk candidly – and diplomatically – about the time the free-to-play Silent Hills teaser was controversially pulled from the Sony store eight years ago yesterday (12th August). “Fun fact: since I was the first-party lead at the time at Konami, I helped get this product set up on the storefronts, fake publisher and everything,” they…

Nintendo has confirmed that it has no plans to increase the price of its Nintendo Switch console. Despite a drop in sales of around 23 per cent year-on-year – chiefly due to the tech industry’s ongoing shortage of semiconductor parts stifling manufacturing – Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa told Nikkei that Nintendo wanted to “avoid pricing people out”. “We’re not considering [a price increase] at this point, for two reasons,” Furukawa said (thanks, NME). “In order to offer unique entertainment to a wide range of customers, we want to avoid pricing people out. Our competition is the variety of entertainment in…
