Latest Nintendo Direct Reportedly The Most-Watched Of The Summer Showcases

Sorry, Geoff. The big wave of Summer showcases is seemingly over, with Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo all presenting their own bespoke 'Directs' and Geoff Keighley hosting the annual Summer Game Fest event in Los Angeles. It's been a pretty great showing across the board in our opinion, and we don't think any of the major showcases can be deemed 'bad' – disappointing perhaps, depending on your tastes, but there was a pretty huge range of titles revealed across the last few weeks.

Circadia Game Review

Hisashi Hayashi is the designer of a quick new card game called Circadia. I was initially interested because Hayashi has done some great work for the Bell household, namely in the form of Yokohama and Railway Boom, the latter of which was on my list of the top 10 games of 2025. As you may know, lots of publishers are pushing out new card games, for the reasons one might expect: this is a much cheaper way to get a game to market, and it could satisfy the needs of many types of players in an environment where players are apparently spending less on their games. Enter Circadia. There’s a theme loosely tied to Dreaming Paths, Spirit Creatures, and becoming the “Keeper of the Eternal Cycle” for the person lucky enough to win the game. The reality is that Circadia is much, much simpler than even the loose framework. Setup only takes three steps. Players manage a hand of cards (never more than eight), trying to build up sets of cards across three types of Spirit Creatures: bear, axolotl, and

Latest Hardware Run Of The Analogue Pocket Isn't Playing Nice With Everdrive Carts

"It seems like some hardware-related problem". Everdrive maker Krikzz has highlighted an issue with newer variants of Analogue's popular Pocket handheld which means Everdrive flash carts do not function properly.

Review: LumenTale: Memories Of Trey (Switch) - A Refreshing, If Jarring, Take On Black & White-Era Pokémon

Nostalgia hit. Late at night, I’m huddled up in bed with my Switch 2 millimetres from my face, when suddenly it feels like I’m being slapped with a Ratatouille flashback. My mind is flung back in time to the days of late evenings fervently exploring Pokémon Black and White, to weekends huddled in front of my TV playing Xenoblade on Wii, and countless hours helping Tidus explore Spira. While swimming in this nostalgic bliss, suddenly I’m yanked back to the present as I navigate infuriatingly slow menus, tackle manic controls, or spend another 30 mins lost, just wandering around different buildings. This is where LumenTale sits for me: a game so good at evoking nostalgic feelings, but then slamming the brakes on the experience with small, jarring issues.

Fable PS5 Looking Far Too Easy? Don't Fear, Harder Difficulties Will Be Available

"The guards haven't been drinking tea mid-shift". While the response to Fable’s latest gameplay demo has been largely positive due to its in-depth life sim aspects, the game has come under fire for its “simple” combat gameplay. Fortunately, dev Playground has clarified that its latest video depicted ‘Story’ difficulty, the “gentlest way to wander through Albion”. There will, of course, be much more challenging options available if you want to test yourself. Read the full article on pushsquare.com

Lenovo's Troublesome G02 Emulation Handheld Is Back On Sale With A Slightly Different Name

Update: SUNYAO is an "invested by Lenovo" brand, apparently. A short while ago, eyebrows were raised when an $63 emulation handheld pre-loaded with ROMs appeared on AliExpress bearing Lenovo branding. The Hong Kong-based Lenovo is best known today as one of the world's largest personal computer vendors, so it came as something of a surprise to see such a cheap-looking device bear its name.
