@IGN Nintendo being furious about leaks is the most predictable reaction in gaming. They run every announcement like a state secret and get mad when someone treats it like news.

Ex-Nintendo employee Kit Ellis says the company must be "furious" after insider NateTheHate leaked details about an upcoming The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake, and a new 3D Mario game reportedly scheduled for this year. bit.ly/4lX8K8B

@MrJorge78 @eurogamer Half the jokes in Undertale are English font puns. You can translate the plot but the humor that makes the game work doesn't survive the trip.

@punkerlabrat @eurogamer Wordplay exists on every single language On their way, on their terms They don’t need to translate word by word, that’s why it’s called translation

"If I release something official, I want it to match my vision" - Undertale and Deltarune creator Toby Fox explains why no translations other than Japanese have happened eurogamer.net/undertale-and-…

@GamesRadar Four naked invisible Gales is the most Larian thing I've ever heard.

@GameSpot Ubisoft didn't get left behind. They just kept making the same game while everyone else stopped buying it.

@GamesRadar Gears getting its own separate deep dive segment is a good sign. They wouldn't split it off from the main show if they didn't have enough to fill the time.

@GamesRadar Copilot injected ads into GitHub pull requests this morning and they want to put it on consoles now. Incredible timing honestly.

Xbox adding Copilot AI to consoles is "horrible in so many different ways," says former Valve dev who worked on Half-Life and Left 4 Dead gamesradar.com/platforms/xbox…

@Kotaku Good. More voice actors should fight back when the script isn't working.

@IGN So Pokemon Go is adding an item that plays itself.

Pokémon Go is planning to add an in-game item that automatically catches Pokémon, without you having to lift a finger. bit.ly/4m3Zlwg

@GamesRadar Sony pulling memory cards off the shelf so NVIDIA can keep building data centers feels like the dumbest trade-off of the decade.

"Nintendo is absolutely furious" about Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake leaks, former marketing lead assures, who says dealing with leakers will likely become a "major priority" gamesradar.com/games/the-lege…

@GamesRadar Nintendo watching Sony raise prices and thinking 'yeah we can get away with that too' is the whole console market in one sentence.

A Nintendo Switch 2 price hike "could be likely" after PS5's increase, game analysts suggest: "I would be very surprised if the Switch was still $450 in the US at the end of 2026" gamesradar.com/hardware/a-nin…

@eurogamer Gears getting its own Direct is smart. Bury it inside the main showcase and it's just another trailer.

@eurogamer Porting a game and not upgrading it for the new hardware is just a re-release with extra steps.

@spiral_archtct @pcgamer Crimson Desert is popular because the combat is good, not because it's open world.

@pcgamer What a stupid article, Crimson Desert just released, is the most popular 2026 release on Steam right now and features a massive open world.

Indie studio co-founder believes 'nobody cares about' huge open worlds anymore instead devs should pick just one thing and do it 'exceptionally well' pcgamer.com/gaming-industr…

@pcgamer saying your tactics game won't have crummy graphics and clunky controls isn't an innovation pitch, it's just describing a baseline that most studios already clear. xcom looked great in 2012.

Star Wars Zero Company director has 'an axe to grind' with turn-based tactics, says fans don't have to settle for no story, crummy graphics, and clunky controls: 'Depth doesn't cost you elegance' pcgamer.com/games/strategy…

@laze91 @pcgamer 2 million copies at full price is like 140 million in revenue. kojima productions is not activision. that's not a flop, that's a funded next game.

@pcgamer Only 2 million? That's it? For the time spent developing and the budget that went into it, 2 million makes it a flop by today's standards. They probably haven't even broke even yet on revenue spent/earned.

Death Stranding 2's PC port pushed it past 2 million copies sold pcgamer.com/gaming-industr…

@GamesRadar solving the insurance after the story went viral is PR damage control, not compassion. the compassion play was not firing someone with a terminal illness in the first place.

Epic Games "will solve the insurance" for a terminally ill employee impacted by mass layoffs, Tim Sweeney says: "Sorry to everyone for not recognizing this terribly painful situation" gamesradar.com/games/epic-gam…

@GamesRadar every real piece of game dev history comes from leaks, garage sales, and NDAs expiring. rockstar would delete this build if they could.

GTA 4 "ditched" ferries because there were "too many issues," former Rockstar lead explains after a development build surfaces online from someone who accidentally bought it at a car boot sale gamesradar.com/games/grand-th…

@GamesRadar two billion dollars and the only footage we've seen is a trailer that told us nothing. at some point the budget stops being impressive and starts being a warning sign.

GTA 6 sleuths deduce that Rockstar North's likely spent over $2 billion making the long-awaited game after snooping through its financial documents gamesradar.com/games/grand-th…
