SNES and NES Games Get Surprise Release on Multiple Platforms

by

This game started as an arcade maze title released by Taito in 1989. It’s best known as a SNES game, though it originally appeared in arcades. Many SNES players might remember it as Cameltry, as the arcade version was later brought to the SNES and X68000 in 1992. However, it wasn’t released under that name in North America or Europe; instead, it was called On the Ball. Cameltry wasn’t a huge hit in arcades, and its SNES performance wasn’t much better – it simply wasn’t very popular. Despite this, it’s been re-released as part of Hamster’s Arcade Archives 2 series on those same platforms. Dedicated fans might already own it, as it was previously included in the Arcade Archives lineup.

Supergirl Officially Just Teased the DCU’s Deadliest Superman Weapon

The trailers for Supergirl have shown a lot of the story’s space-based chase, but they’ve left out one key element from the comics – until now. Warner Bros. recently released new posters for premium formats like Dolby Cinema, and fans who know the comics will notice something important in the artwork. The posters show Supergirl flying through space with several suns in the background, and one of them is distinctly green. This color is a direct reference to a dangerous sun containing Kryptonite, which orbits the planet Barenton – a powerful weapon created to harm Superman, as seen in the comics by Tom King and Bilquis Evely.

PS5 Price Hike Has Flushed UK Hardware Sales Down the Toilet

by

According to Games Business journalist Chris Dring, PlayStation 5 sales in the UK dropped by 50% in May. This resulted in the console only narrowly beating the Xbox Series X|S – by just 400 units. The Nintendo Switch 2, however, easily surpassed sales of both consoles.

New Nintendo Switch 2 Model With Upgrade Officially Confirmed

by

Back in January, a listing on Nintendo’s website hinted at a different version of the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. A new product code, “OSM,” appeared alongside the standard Switch 2’s code (“BEE”), leading some fans to believe a “Lite” or “OLED” model was on the way. However, it seems Nintendo was actually developing this version to meet European regulations. These regulations require the Switch 2 to have a removable and replaceable battery, a feature not included in the initial launch model. It’s currently unknown when this change will take effect, or why it’s more cost-effective for Nintendo to create a separate version just for Europe. It’s possible Nintendo may eventually roll out this version globally.
