Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition, based on those competitions, is a clever idea for retro game diehards, collecting 100-plus small, timed challenges spread across an assortment of classic NES games. They can be completed against online opponents, in weekly challenges, or against up to eight people in the same room. It's a party game in the spirit of WarioWare on the Switch, fast and twitchy, but… I want more.

It’s been a rough first year for the PlayStation VR 2. After being hyped up as a game-changer, the headset launched in early 2023 with a price tag to match the console itself, only for Sony to drastically cut back on its plans to develop new virtual reality games. But if PSVR2 is ever going to get a chance to shine, it may be now. Starting in early August, the headset will become compatible with PC (in addition to PS5), and in the lead-up to the PC launch, PSVR2 is available at its lowest price ever for a limited time.
