In this week's Gaming Fun Fact, we discussed the Famicom built-in microphone and the FSD (Famicom System Disk). The microphone was built into the second controller and allowed players to interact with games, however, the feature was cut in the NES release. The FSD was an add-on for the Famicom that used floppy disks for games instead of cartridges to enhance audio quality and add game saving functionality. PlayStation held another State of Play filled with upcoming games including a surprise shadow drop - Warriors: Abyss. Other games shown off included: MindsEye, Days Gone Remastered, Tides of Annihilation, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, and much more.…
In this week's Gaming Fun Fact we explore the world of voice controlled games on the N64. We kick off our expedition with the YouTuber "Skawo" and their discovery of Japanese voice commands inside Zelda: Majora's Mask. Then we direct focus over to the VRU, the official N64 microphone add-on that, unfortunately, only officially supported two games. The Xbox Developer Direct 2025 dropped earlier this week (as of recording) and brought with it a slew of games that have, or will be, dropping on Xbox Game Pass day one. These games include: Ninja Gaiden 4, Ninja Gaiden 2 Black, South of Midnight, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and DOOM: The Dark Ages.…
With the Switch 2's announcement being the big news this week, we thought we'd revisit the development of the original Nintendo Switch in the Gaming Fun Fact. With a focus on the many prototypes that Nintendo made, we discussed what lead to the Switch's form factor and how the features that we have today were decided upon during the console's design phase. The Switch 2 was officially announced with a trailer dropped on Nintendo's YouTube channel. The console was leaked beforehand, potentially forcing Nintendo's hand to release the trailer. We took a deep dive into the trailer and share our thoughts on the console's confirmed features so far. Halo is on Xbox...right? Well it may be making the jump to PlayStation if a recent leak is to be believed. Not only will the Master Chief Collection allegedly make its debut on PS5, but also on Nintendo Switch. PlayStation has cancelled two unannounced projects, with one rumoured to be the God of War games-as-a-service title. These games' development were cancelled for both Bend Studio and Bluepoint Games, with the studios awaiting new assignments from Sony.…
In this week's Gaming Fun Fact we discussed the pioneer of game streaming, OnLive. OnLive was a streaming platform way back in 2010 when high-speed internet was just starting to become commonplace (at least here in Canada). The platform had its own mobile apps (iPhone & Android), GoogleTV app, and small set-top box (MicroConsole), and some limited web browser capabilities. Nvidia has announced another set of GPUs, namely the RTX 50 series which includes the RTX 5090, RTX 5070 Ti, and RTX 5070. AI appears to be a big part of this year's offering with technologies like DLSS taking GPUs to new heights. SteamOS will be installable on other handhelds soon! As of April of 2025, Valve will officially let you install SteamOS on handhelds other than the Steam Deck. This exciting news also brings to light Lenovo's May 2025 handheld that will be the first third-party SteamOS handheld! With the Xbox handheld coming at some point down the line, some fans are questioning whether the device will be running Windows, Xbox or both. While we're still not entirely sure of the answer, Microsoft's VP of Next Generation, Jason Ronald, has stated that we should expect to see the Windows handheld gaming experience change within the calendar year. This could be good news for not only the pending first-party handheld, but also third-party offerings that are already running Windows, such as the ROG Ally.…
Happy New Year! In this week's Gaming Fun Fact we discussed some game cheating devices including the Game Genie and the Game Shark. Both of these devices were commercially available and allowed players to intercept the data going between console and cartridge, where that information could then be temporarily changed to achieve invincibility, altered physics, etc. Then we all take a look forward to the year ahead and discuss our most anticipated games of 2025. This entire year is absolutely loaded with big launches such as Civilization 7, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, Avowed, Monster Hunter Wilds, and much more!…
In this week's Gaming Fun Fact we explore the world of adding CD players onto classic game consoles, specifically the N64DD for the Nintendo 64 and the Sega CD for the Sega Genesis. Both offerings attempted to expand the functionality of their cartridge-based counterparts with the increased storage and capabilities of CDs and magnetic discs. PlayStation and AMD are partnering to create more AI-powered technology to make games look and play better. This technology is not planned to be limited to just PlayStation either, with the partnership allowing other companies to use the technology as they see fit. The Nintendo Switch has surpassed the PS2 in sales as of November 2024, as it becomes the second best-selling gaming hardware in history. This comes in "just" 7 million units shy of the Nintendo DS sales... a gap that the Switch is unlikely to close any time soon. Sony has invested 50 billion yen (~$318 million) into Kadokawa, the parent company of FromSoftware. At this time there is no word of a full takeover, however, an investment this large of course raises the question if Dark Souls and Elden Ring will ever become PlayStation exclusive titles.…
In this week's Gaming Fun Fact we discussed weird disc formats namely the GameCube's mini-discs that were used for anti-piracy, and the PSP's UMD's that aimed at high-quality + portability. The Game Awards 2024 happened this past week, with Astro Bot taking the competition by storm landing several awards including Game of the Year. There were also a lot of reveals at the event including the Okami Sequel and Onimusha. We also got to see more Warframe 1999, Mafia: The Old Country, and much more.…
In this week's Gaming Fun Fact we explore gaming devices that were adopted by the US military including Xbox 360 controllers that were used instead of an outdated periscope control system and PS3s that were combined to create a very efficient supercomputer. The handheld market is heating up with Sony looking to potentially make a splash in the largely Steam Deck and Switch dominated space. If this device does make it to market, will it run the entire PS5 collection? Or will it have its own library like the PSP and PS Vita? Xbox avatars are being sunset, a feature that used to have a lot of prominence in the Xbox 360 era, but is now largely forgotten. Avatars were re-released after their original implementation on the Xbox 360 and have never quite been the same. Honestly we kept forgetting they even existed so they will not be missed. When you use the PS app you're able to purchase games from the PS Store, but this is not the case on the Xbox app. According to Sarah Bond, this is because Microsoft is waiting for the courts to make a final decision in the "Google Play is an illegal monopoly" case. This is yet another bit added to the saga that Epic began when it took on Apple's and Google's ~30% cut of their app store revenues.…
In this week's Gaming Fun Fact we take a look at what happened to arcades. Back in the day, arcades were virtually the only way to enjoy video games, but over time the home console overtook one of the most popular hangout locations for kids and adults alike. We'll explore exactly what lead to the downfall of arcades and the rise of the home console by looking back at gaming from the late-70s through today. Phil Spencer won't rule out any Xbox exclusive making the jump to PlayStation. This comes on the heels of Microsoft's latest "This is an Xbox" advertising campaign that showcases how a tablet, smartphone, and more can be an Xbox. Does this hurt the Xbox brand? Are Xbox console buyers losing out on their investment? The Steam Deck and ROG Ally have created an all-new handheld PC market with top titles like Cyberpunk 2077 running on hardware that can be docked to almost any desktop setup. This mobile and affordable step into the PC market has left some Xbox fans wondering whether they'd ever be able to take their Xbox on-the-go with them (and not on their smartphone). Phil Spencer has confirmed that Xbox does indeed have plans to make a handheld, but it's still years away. Game preservation has been on the brain of gaming historians and retro game fans for well over a decade. While there have been a fair bit of wins and losses in the space, today we're happy to report that GOG has taken up an official effort entitled the "GOG Preservation Program" to ensure the longevity of over 100 games (with more to come!).…
In this week's Gaming Fun Fact we explore three wacky arcade machines. First up from 1976 is "Fonz" by Sega, based on the popular character from the hit TV show Happy Days. Second, we have Fire Truck by Atari (1978), that boasts the title of "first co-op arcade game." And finally, Police 911 (2000) that showcased immersive motion controls before the creation of things like the Kinect and the Wii. The Borderlands Movie was a big flop in theatres but according to Take-Two it didn't hurt at all - if anything, it ended up helping with some game sales. Sony has patented a game controller that has a rewind button on it. Likely you're thinking it's a button that simply rewinds a game by 30 seconds or so in the event of a player mistake, but the patent mentions quite a few interesting potential use cases including: a timeline of selectable past gameplay moments, reminders to players if they miss something (ie a quest item left in a room), and marked spots in time where the player could come back to their favorite moments of the game. Mass Effect is on the way after the release of Dragon Age: The Veilguard - but the new game isn't the only thing on the way for fans of the franchise. A TV series is in the works alongside Amazon MGM Studios.…
After Concord's launch and subsequent de-listing, many gamers figured that Sony's troubled hero shooter would re-release as a free-to-play title, or live on in some other form. Unfortunately, Sony has decided to shut down Firewalk Studios altogether. Cyberpunk 2077 is on the way to the Mac! With Apple taking gaming more seriously these days, Cyberpunk is looking to cash in with any gamers in the Apple ecosystem. Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 just launched and its officially the biggest release in Call of Duty history. Black Ops 6 released day-one on Game Pass, a first for the franchise, alongside releases on other platforms such as PlayStation 5 and Steam. New records were set for the highest amount of new Game Pass subscribers in a single day, plus the PS5 and Steam saw record first weekend sales.…
In this week's Gaming Fun Fact we go back in time to take a look at motion controls on the Sega Genesis. The Sega Activator is a controller that allows players to move, kick, and punch their way through various experiences like fighting games. It is a ring of infrared sensors set up in different segments that represent individual inputs, the player would stand in the middle of the ring and interrupt the infrared beams to register inputs. Black Ops 6 has released day one on Game Pass, the first in the series to do so. However, as what was an annual AAA release that required a purchase to access, some are concerned that the expected surge in Game Pass subscriptions will only be temporary, meaning Microsoft could have surrendered too many sales.…
The Xbox Partner Preview showed off some upcoming Xbox games including titles such as: FBC Firebreak, Blindfire, Cronos: New Dawn, Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, and more! Former PlayStation exec, Shawn Layden, has been sounding the alarm about what he calls a "collapse of creativity" in the gaming industry that has lead to development companies relying on blockbuster hits - ultimately killing the AA game. Is this a death sentence for the gaming industry as we know it?…
In this week's Gaming Fun Fact we discussed an innovative controller for the Atari 2600 that allowed players to control games via their mind! This mystical device was called the Atari Mindlink and it didn't really give you telepathic gaming powers, it instead used sensors in a headband to detect forehead and facial movements and convert them into commands, like moving the joystick. With the new Horizon Lego game coming out soon, some gamers are wondering when another mainline title for the series would see the light of day. Unfortunately, it seems like to may be quite a while as there may be a Horizon live service game in development. In other Horizon news, Sony has de-listed the original Horizon: Zero Dawn PC port in favour of the remastered version. This new edition requires a PSN sign-in, a controversial requirement that saw some players review bomb Helldivers II some months back. Ubisoft has been having some troubles lately, most recently with disappointing sales of Star Wars: Outlaws. Now the company is taking a look at potentially going private, a move that would see Yves Guillemot and Tencent teaming up (two big Ubisoft shareholders) to do so.…
In this week's Gaming Fun Fact we explored the origins of E3, as video games matured from a simple tent at CES, to a well organized and professionally represented industry. Previously considered just a kid's toy, video games weren't given a proper platform to showcase their hardware and software. However, after the Senate started taking interest in violent games such as Mortal Kombat, the IDSA (now ESA), ESRB, and E3 were eventually all formed to give games a place to interact on a political and public relations level. PlayStation State of Play September 2024 just took place and was loaded with announcements for not only PS5 but also PS VR2. Some key game announcements & showcases included the Ghost of Tsushima sequel - Ghost of Yotei, Monster Hunter Wilds, and Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered. With the PS5 Pro available for pre-order and a short hardware showcase behind us, many gamers were left wondering which games would be taking advantage of the PS5 Pro's power. Sony has released a rather large list of games, both old and new, that will be receiving PS5 Pro enhancements including: Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, Rise of the Ronin, Assassin's Creed Shadows, and much more.…
