Happy 25th Anniversary to the Nintendo GameCube, the Luigi’s Mansion franchise, and Wave Race: Blue Storm

They all came out in Japan 25 years ago. Happy birthday to the console that may not have been the best selling system, but had multiple games that had a huge impact long term on the gaming industry. From cementing Smash Bros as a worldwide industry event any time a new entry comes out, to bringing Animal Crossing overseas and becoming one of Nintendo's top IPs, to bringing to life Miyamoto's beloved Pikmin, to being the first system that had Sonic games, to being the launch system for the...

USB port on back of PS5 Slim not charging - cause for concern?

After moving and getting some stuff set up, I am using a USB-C to USB-A cord to charge my PS5 controller. There are two slots for this and I'm realizing one of them doesn't work. The other charges just fine. Is this a common defective aspect? Could there be a risk of other ports on the console dying too? I only have one controller so I only need one port, just wondering if this could be an issue.

Is there any game series more disinterested in/antagonistic to its own title character than Mega Man X?

When designing the series, Keiji Inafune said this about X and Zero: Keiji Inafune said: "Usually, I would be the one doing the main characters, and Kaji would take care of the sub characters. This time, however, we decided to change things up a bit. I asked Kaji to do Mega Man, and I made the sub character, Zero, my project.

StarCraft is a narrative-driven shooter with 'a definitive ending' and 'not a seasonal game'

Metroid Other M bombed financially and critically, and Retro Studios moved on to working on DKC.
