The 3DO M2 is one of the most famous unreleased consoles of all time. A successor to the ill-fated 3DO Interactive Multiplayer, the M2 promised the kind of power that would put the Saturn and PlayStation in the shade – but in 1996, 3DO sold the rights to M2 to Panasonic's parent company, Matsushita, which ultimately cancelled the project the following year. The M2 did make it to market as a physical product, however – the FZ35-S was a kiosk-style unit intended for commercial purposes. As explained by the 3DO Archive, it featured the same hardware as the M2, but was incapable of playing the games which were powered by the arcade variant of the M2 hardware. Thanks to the efforts of Dutchconsolefreak / @Clown57859, it's now possible to play an M2 arcade 'port' on a FZ-35S kiosk system – and it's Konami's 1998 one-on-one fighter, Battle Tryst. The game is notable for the fact that it was originally intended to include fighters based on Castlevania's Simon and Richter Belmont. Konami released four other games on the M2 arcade standard: Heat of Eleven '98, Evil Night, Tobe! Polystars and Total Vice. View full article

Not a fan of the 8BitDo 64 controller's rather simple black and white colour schemes? Then we have some good news to share with you. 8BitDo has just announced that it will be releasing a new colourway for the Bluetooth controller early next year, which more closely resembles the Nintendo 64 classic grey controller. That means, instead of the buttons all being one colour, like on the black and white models released earlier this year, the new controller will instead line up a little more closely with what you remember from back in the day, boasting a red start button, blue and green A&B buttons, and an all-yellow C-pad. This new controller will cost $44.99 ($5 more than the Black and White versions that are already available) and will reportedly ship near the beginning of next year, on January 30th, 2026. Images: 8BitDo The 8BitDo 64 controller was originally designed in conjunction with Analogue for its new 4K N64 console, the Analogue 3D, which was released earlier this month, and was based on the company's 'Ultimate' line of pads. However, it can also be used in conjunction with other platforms, too, including the Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, Windows 10, and Android (9.0). Noticeably, it does away with the three-pronged design of the original N64 controller (exchanging the gun-style Z-trigger from the middle prong for two new Z triggers positioned at the top of the pad), and also introduces three additional buttons on the face – Screenshot, Minus and Home – which offer different benefits. In addition to this, it also switches out the original N64 Analogue "Wand" for a Hall Effect Joystick, incorporates a built-in vibration feature (for use with the Analogue 3D and Nintendo Switch N64 Online library), and includes a turbo feature.

The technology that powers the games we play has evolved over the past few decades to the point where graphics have transitioned from simple, blocky sprites to blindingly photorealistic in a relatively short period. However, the tech which allows us to interface with our games has enjoyed a somewhat less dramatic development; sure, analogue control might be the norm now, but it's easy to forget that the first game console to use analogue joysticks was the 1292 Advanced Programmable Video System, which hit the market all the way back in 1978. Still, that's not to say that the world of gaming controllers hasn't seen its share of innovation and creativeity, as a new tome from Bitmap Books proves. Images: Damien McFerran / Time Extension Trigger Happy: A Visual Celebration of Video Game Controllers is a 396-page epic which aims to chart the history of the video game controller via 200 different examples. It's packed with 560 amazing photos snapped by Christian Wenk, who co-authored the book with veteran game journalist Steve Jarratt (EDGE, Official PlayStation Magazine, Official Nintendo Magazine). Wenk's photography is truly stunning – I'd even go so far as to say it's some of the best controller imagery I've ever seen. Jarratt's expertise comes in when describing the impact of some of these devices – some of which were arguably little more than design dead-ends (who remembers the Batman joystick?) but remain interesting artefacts nonetheless. Images: Damien McFerran / Time Extension Flicking through the pages, I was amazed at how broad Trigger Happy is; there are controllers featured here that verge on the totally obscure, so the book neatly sidesteps the usual issue of familiarity that plagues many similar ventures. But that's not all; sprinkled throughout are comments from industry luminaries such as Trip Hawkins, James Rolfe ('The Angry Video Game Nerd' to you and me), ex-Rare artist Kevin Bayliss, and DOOM co-creator John Romero. I often feel guilty about not investing enough time in researching the history of the humble video game controller, so Trigger Happy feels like a breath of fresh air – and a book that has already encouraged me to look on eBay for a reasonably-priced Seaman gamepad.

Without any previous notice and out of nowhere, an Xbox Series version of the Silent Hill 2 Remake has appeared online through the official Microsoft Xbox Store in various regions. Right now, the game has an entry for US stores, but without an actual price tag and only showing the message "Not available separately". However, the Australian store does include a price tag for the base game, being at $49.97 AU, while the Deluxe Edition of the game goes for $57.47 AU. The game is also available for purchase in a bundle alongside "Silent Hill f", with both bundles offering a standard Dual Pack and a Deluxe Dual Pack as well. Many considered the game would have been unveiled in the recent Xbox Partner Preview from today, but it wasn't featured. It's still unknown if the game will be properly announced by Microsoft or any of the official Xbox accounts later today, or in the spawn of the weekend. This also seemed to have fueled some rumours about a plausible upcoming Silent Hill 2: Born From A Wish DLC, but there has been no official word from Konami about any potential DLC for the game.

We're moving on up in the world! Wild Zone 2 introduces some Water-type Pokémon, which may well be helpful for building your Pokémon Legends: Z-A team. This guide covers everything you need to know about Wild Zone 2, which Pokémon to catch, and what Alphas are available. Wild Zone 2 Location You'll find Wild Zone 2 off of Vernal Avenue. Head about halfway up (to Café Woof) and the head down the eastern path (next to some water) to reach a large circular plaza. This is Vert Plaza, which is surrounded by Vert Sectors 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. Again, like Wild Zone 1, you'll actually come by here as part of the main story — it's not mandatory to visit, but you should. How to unlockJust like with Wild Zone 1, Wild Zone 2 is accessible from the beginning of the game. Well, at least as soon as your friends will let you explore a little bit more... All Wild Zone 2 Pokémon Fewer Pokémon will pop up in Wild Zone 2 than 1— plus some are only available at night! Here you'll spot 6 Wild Pokémon to add to your team. One is admittedly an evolution of one you've already caught, so you might have it already. The recommended level here is one up from the first Wild Zone, Level 6. Pokémon Type Location Budew Grass/Poison In the grass close to the entrances Magikarp Water In the water all day Patrat Normal On rocks Kakuna Bug/Poison In the trees Binacle Rock/Water Close to the water Staryu Water In the water (Nighttime only) Alpha Pokémon Locations Come back here once you've completed Emma's requests, and you'll have a chance of running into 2 Alpha Pokémon. Note that these can appear at various levels, but these are the levels we've spotted them at. Pokémon Type Level Location Magikarp Water 30 On the southeastern bank of the plaza. You'll need to run around the perimeter and use Rock Smash to reach it. Staryu Water 32 The same place as Alpha Magikarp, but only at nighttime Best Wild Zone 2 Pokémon to catch Magikarp. Yes, it's useless now, but get it to level 20 and you'll have a Gyarados which can also Mega Evolve. Sure, it's extra weak to Electric-type moves, but it's pretty powerful in its own right. We'll also add Binacle to the mix, an unusual blend of types that comes in handy early on. View full article

There are many things synonymous with James Bond, and one of those is Aston Martin — a car brand he's been driving since Goldfinger. Well, fans will be pleased to know that the tradition of driving these swish supercars is set to continue in 007 First Light, as this new trailer reveals: The game will feature the Aston Martin Valhalla, albeit kitted out by Q with various gadgets and weapons. It's only allocated to 00-status agents, and our young Bond isn't at that level in the game, but presumably he'll get behind the wheel whether he has permission or not. 007 First Light is due for release on 27th March 2026, and we got to see some extended gameplay footage a little while back. While it left some question marks with noticeable performance hiccups, the game looks like a fun mix of Hitman's sandbox stealth and something more action-packed, like Uncharted. View full article

We thought Hitman’s time-limited Elusive Targets had peaked with the addition of Casino Royale’s Le Chiffre recently, but this new one takes the metaphorical cake. As hip-hop fans will know, in Eminem’s most recent album, The Death of Slim Shady, he attempted to lay his alter-ego to rest. But it seems like his other self continues to haunt him, and it’s up to Agent 47 to help. IO Interactive’s Yann Roskell teased on the Xbox Wire: If you don’t own the game, you’ll be able to play the mission for free as part of the Hitman Starter Pack. But keep in mind, the Elusive Target will only be available from 1st December to 31st December. In addition, a DLC pack featuring a new suit, four items, and home base cosmetics connected to the mission will be available alongside the duration of the promotional period, so check that out if you want to expand Agent 47’s locker with some Eminem-inspired items.

Returnal may not be the best-selling PS5 exclusive, but it’s attracted a slew of copycats. The latest of those looks to be ARMATUS, a roguelite third-person shooter launching in 2026. This game is set in the “demon-infested ruins of Paris”, which some would argue is just modern-day France. But we think the dev’s taking a few creative liberties with the various firearms and celestial powers you’ll have access to. Here’s what the blurb says: The combat in the trailer looks tight, but we’ll need to try it for ourselves to see if dev Counterplay Games can match Housemarque’s buttery smooth game feel.

As part of today's Xbox Partner Preview event, Microsoft has brought two new titles to Xbox Game Pass - yes, two XGP shadow drops on one day! The games in question are Total Chaos and CloverPit; both bringing different flavours of horror to the service on November 20th. Of course, we're going to detail both of these new Game Pass titles down below so you have a better idea of what you're looking at here - and do bear in mind that as these additions have only just been announced, it may take a little bit of time for them to show up as playable on XGP. Without further ado, here are your two new Game Pass shadow drops: CloverPit (Series X|S, PC, Cloud) Total Chaos (Series X|S, PC, Cloud) View full article

After what felt like an age of early access waiting, Hades II finally arrived as a console exclusive on Switch and Switch 2 back in September. Two months on, and that Switch 2 release has scored a physical edition — what's more, it's a beauty. We were lucky enough to get our hands on the new box today, and feast our eyes on all of the goodies within (a download code to a digital soundtrack, a 'Character Compendium' booklet, and the full game complete on cart). The nicest surprise of all, however, was the reversible cover art, giving us an option between the standard red banner of a Switch 2 physical, and something more... artsy. Flipping the cover insert over, you're treated to alternate artwork featuring the game's protagonist, Melinoë, on the front of the box, while a dark and brooding image of Hecate adorns the back. It's a neat touch, and one that we're sure you'd like to check out for yourselves, so we've assembled the following gallery detailing everything you get in the Hades II Switch 2 physical edition, and a closer look at the all-important art. Enjoy! View full article
