It doesn’t sound like Soliani is planning retirement. Davide Soliani has just announced his exit from Ubisoft. “Hi all folks. After 25 years, 11 of which beautifully spent working with Nintendo on Mario+Rabbids along the company of our incredible community of players, I have decided to leave Ubisoft to embark on a new adventure. I can’t say more now. Thanks a lot for everything, truly.”

Modders YveltalGriffin and Wesk have created the Kawaii, a miniaturized Wii console that fits on a keychain. The project began with the desire to create a Wii even smaller than the GC Nano. Undervolting and Thundervolt integration allowed for passive cooling and a compact design. The Kawaii features a dedicated dock, various color options, and plays classic Wii games digitally.

One way to describe a casual gamer is someone who doesn't own a dedicated gaming device but only plays on multi-purpose devices like a phone or a laptop. This definition was shattered by the Nintendo Wii, the most popular home console of the late 2000s.

Nintendo Wii: The Non-Gamer's Game Console

The Nintendo Wii was a bona-fide cultural juggernaut, with over 100 million consoles sold during its lifespan. It was never the biggest console in the world, with a size approximating a paperback book. Modders, however, have managed to shrink the Wii’s footprint way down. They made a functional console that’s no bigger than a keychain, as reported by Time Extension. As a matter of fact, it actually doubles as a keychain.

You may not be aware, but Nintendo of Japan has a line of collectible controller button keychains that resemble the Famicom and NES controller layouts. Split into three parts, you can basically assemble the full controller by collecting all three and lining them up. It’s cute and fun, if a bit of nostalgia-bait. Just yesterday, the company revealed that it would be expanding this line of collectibles, dubbed the “Controller Button Collection,” to contain some of its other platforms.

I always tell people that iPads, specifically iPad Pros, have the best displays for any tech device. Even dating back to the 2018 iPad Pro, that 120hz ProMotion display was second to none. As we have gotten new iPads, Apple has doubled down on the display by giving us MiniLED with the M1 iPad Pro, and now we have new OLED panels with the new M4 iPads. But aside from using features like Sidecar, you cannot natively use your iPad as a dummy display for other video sources. I am going to show you how.

Over the course of the lifespan of the PlayStation 1, some games made it clear that things were never going to be the same again, and other games didn’t have that immediate impact. It’s the latter we’re focusing on here, with 10 PS1 games that were ahead of their time. From innovative features trapped on otherwise average releases, to excellent titles that simply came out too early in the PlayStation’s run to be properly appreciated, these are the games that told us in one way or another where the industry was headed, even if the games themselves didn’t know it.

Fans shouldn’t give up hope just yet, even if Capcom tells them to. In a new video, former Capcom director Hideki Kamiya expressed intense interest in developing sequels for both Okami and Viewtiful Joe. Speaking to another former Capcom dev Ikumi Nakamura, Kamiya made it clear that both series had been left unfinished, and their stories deserved to be completed properly.

Just when you thought Microsoft wasn’t going to do anything to potentially risk alienating people even more, there’s a new rumor going around about the state of Xbox Game Pass and what might come next from it. If you recall, Microsoft announced that the Game Pass would get new tiers and a price hike. That wasn’t surprising at first until people saw that some of the tiers included the lowest-price versions not having access to the “Day One” AAA titles as they launch, and it would get more expensive to get all the perks the pass is supposed to have naturally.

Could Xbox Game Pass Get Even More Tiers?

JSAUX has released the first convertible version of its Docking Station for devices such as the Lenovo Legion Go, Steam Deck and ROG Ally. It is the first of its line in which the 'cradle' for such handheld consoles is detachable rather than the part with ports built into it. The new Station's inputs include USB-C with power delivery and Gigabit Ethernet.

The PlayStation 5 Pro with the new RDNA 3 graphics chip is said to offer 66.7 percent more shaders - meaning it can display light, shadows and other visual effects better. There is also a bandwidth upgrade from 448 to 576 GB/s and improved AI performance (300 TOPS). As insider reports recently revealed, Sony appears to be on schedule with the PS5 Pro, making a release of the console by the end of the year realistic.

Even a near-perfect game gets the occasional complaint. Despite winning dozens of awards and quickly becoming many gamer’s favorite game to date, Baldur’s Gate 3 still garners some amount of criticism. In a new Reddit thread, some players are voicing their frustration regarding the game’s lack of exclusive dialogue or content regarding the player character, namely their class or background.

There are many who would rightly state that the gaming industry isn’t in the best place right now. Several big publishers are trying to “reorganize” themselves so that they can better produce both games and profits. Due to the lack of that from many companies, whole teams have been shut down or heavily laid off, leaving many to wonder who might be next on the “chopping block.” One team we know isn’t on that block is Monolith Soft. They currently serve as one of Nintendo’s biggest ringers in game quality, not to mention supporting other teams when they need extra manpower to complete titles.
