The NES Hub is compatible with NES consoles featuring the same design as the North ********* model. | Screenshot: X RetroTime has found a good use for the expansion port Nintendo included on the underside of the NES but never utilized.

The NES Hub is currently available for preorder through 8BitMods for $57.28 and is expected to ship as early as December 2024. Installation doesn’t require any soldering, hardware modifications, or for the NES to even be opened.

The most complicated part of the installation is connecting a small Bluetooth antenna and sticking it to the... Continue reading… View the full article

I'd like to think videogames make flying easy. Even in Microsoft Flight Simulator, if you customize the settings and tweak the difficulty, you can make an intercontinental journey in a 747 feel like a breeze. Freedom, exploration, spectacle - these are some of the things that games do best. If you take the mechanics of a plane simulator, blend them with the galactic narrative of Star Citizen, and throw in some of Cyberpunk 2077's hard-edged aesthetic, you get G-Rebels, a new flying and dogfight game that's just been announced.

It's hard to overstate just how vital great UI is to a game. Every single setting, mechanic, and feature is unified under one style and presented to the player in a way that should, hopefully, enhance the overall experience. Sometimes UI becomes the soul of the presentation, with Persona 5's bold red, white, and ****** combinations defining so much of your time in-game. Elsewhere UI is diegetic, with ***** Space's holograms existing within the game itself, pulling you right into the worst day of Isaac Clarke's life. The importance of the Skyrim UI is no different, but that's why this brand-new mod is worth checking out. Read the rest of the story...

How do you interact with the brazier in The Sacred Hunt quest? Diablo 4 has a fairly long Spiritborn quest to unlock a place called The Spirit Hall. It involves some exploration, a lot of fighting, and a ****** that is seemingly immune to all damage. That isn't why we're here though - there's a point in the quest where you must interact with a brazier in some way to proceed, but it's a little murky on what you actually need to do - that's where we come in. The latest Diablo 4 DLC is here, and we delved deep in our Vessel of Hatred review to give you our honest opinion (we enjoyed it). If you want to undertake The Sacred Hunt quest you'll first need to get your Spiritborn class character to level 15, so get that boxed off. It might also help to hire a Diablo 4 mercenary to make the tough fights ahead a little easier. Read the rest of the story...

Image: Nintendo It’s not a successor to the Switch, but Nintendo does have a new piece of hardware to announce: a motion-controlled alarm clock. The device is called Alarmo, and it “responds to your movements,” which means you can snooze it with a gesture, or stop it by actually getting out of bed. It costs $99.99 and will be available in early 2025, though Nintendo says Switch Online subscribers can purchase it early right now. It appears this is the mystery Nintendo gadget that hit the FCC last month. In addition to the motion features, a big part of the device appears to be its immersive sounds, which are pulled from five different Switch games: Breath of the Wild, Pikmin 4, Splatoon 3, Super Mario Odyssey, and Ring Fit Adventure.

GTA 3 has the atmosphere, Vice City has the soundtrack, San Andreas has the freedom, GTA 4 has the story, and Grand Theft Auto 5 turned the whole series upside down with its limitless online mode. But for me - and I know this makes me sound old - the best GTA game is still the 1997 original. Grungy, ******, and low-budget, it fits the tone of Rockstar's ****** sim exactly, and it's reminiscent of an age when videogames were underground and dangerous. Inspired by GTA's old-school, top-down visual style, The Precinct feels like a mix of modern and retro, but with a twist. With Grand Theft Auto 6 still a distant wanted star on the horizon, you should play The Precinct today. Read the rest of the story...
