After seven years on the market, 146 million systems, and more than 1 billion games sold, Nintendo is finally gearing up to announce its next piece of hardware. In this post, we're rounding up everything we know about the Switch 2--or whatever the next console is called--and what's been speculated about the next system from Nintendo. There has been quite a lot of news about the next Nintendo console lately. In fact, it appears the rumor mill is really heating up of late, though this doesn't necessarily mean an official announcement is coming up soon.Nintendo has made multiple announcements lately, including an alarm clock and a music app, but there hasn't been any official word on the Switch 2. 2025 kicked off with a juicy rumor, as people claim to have their hands on the Switch 2's Joy-Cons. Images posted online claiming to be the new controllers suggest they will sport a similar design to the original, though they could be hiding a new feature or two. Another recent report detailed how many units the Switch 2 could sell in the US during its first year.Continue Reading at GameSpot

The Switch 2, or whatever Nintendo calls its next console, is expected to be announced soon and released later this year. But how many units will the system sell? According to Circana analyst Mat Piscatella, the Switch 2 will sell 4.3 million units in the US during 2025.This assumes that the Switch 2 launches in the first half of 2025, Piscatella clarified. He added that the Switch should make up about one third of all video game consoles sold during 2025 in the US, excluding PC portable devices.Piscatella went on to say that he expects the Switch 2 to face "hardware constraints" for several months after launch, and that the total number of units sold will depend on how many Nintendo can produce. Despite the popularity of a new Nintendo console, Piscatella said he continues to expect Sony's PlayStation 5 to be the No. 1 best-selling console in the US in 2025 based on unit sales.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Season 1 of Marvel Rivals is fast approaching, but ahead of it, NetEase has released a ton of data about Marvel Rivals, including win rates and pick rates. This data is broken down by quick play and competitive, with different sets of data for PC and console. The below list is ordered by popularity based on console competitive, but each character will also have their PC number listed as well.A lot of the number ordering here won't be too surprising based on the characters that have been popular since launch, but it should be noted that many of the Duelists, even the most popular ones, show up with lower pick rates than the least popular Vanguard and Strategist heroes. This is because, at least in part, there are far more Duelists--18--compared to the limited options in the Vanguard and Strategist roles, resulting in the Duelists picks being more spread out. It's also important to note that in Diamond and above lobbies, there are two bans per team, which likely impacted the pick rate of some of the more powerful heroes, like Hawkeye and Hela.Another interesting part of this data are the win rates across both console and PC competitive. The vast majority of heroes are within a 5% range of 50%--either above or below--indicating that while some heroes are certainly better than others at the moment, the overall difference in matches won is smaller than you might expect, especially for a hero shooter that launched with a large roster of 33 heroes. Here are the most popular Marvel Rivals heroes. 33. Black Widow - 0.79%Console win rate: 37.99%PC pick rate: 1.21%PC win rate: 41.07% 32.

Hero Shooter games are commonly defined as first or third-person shooters where players select a character with unique abilities or weapons. The genre has been around for decades, with particular highlights over the years coming from Valve's Team Fortress franchise and Blizzard's Overwatch franchise. With a cast of great characters and addictive gameplay, Overwatch took the world by storm on its debut, but there are plenty of other great games in the genre.

Sony's 2025 is looking a bit barren right now in terms of first-party releases, but it does have a few noteworthy games up its sleeve, such as Death Stranding 2: On the Beach. Developed by Kojima Productions and published by PlayStation Studios, Death Stranding 2 is the follow-up to the bizarre (and somewhat divisive) 2019 action-adventure game Death Stranding, which originally debuted on PS4 and was ported to many other platforms later on. The game is going to be Kojima Productions' second project as an independent entity following its highly-publicized breakup with Konami, and it'll launch as a PlayStation 5 exclusive.

A player gets away with a rather public assassination and more funny game fails.

Hi, I'm Marcel. I've been developing a game in my spare time for quite a while now (I'd rather not count the years, yikes!). The Steam page went live in 2018, and this was the first banner image. The character's name is Quinn (though she might not have had a name back then).
