The upcoming Star Fox 64 remake is too conservative, but wouldnβt you overcorrect after a disaster like Star Fox Zero?
Il GameCube continua a dimostrarsi una console leggendaria, anche grazie all'impegno della community modding che ci regala continuamente nuove esperienze da raccontarvi. Questa volta la console Nintendo Γ¨ stata trasformata in niente meno che un PC Windows (ma senza sostituirne l'hardware!), grazie ad un progetto portato avanti da Rairii, NTx86 e stonedDiscord che ha portato alla creazione di una versione personalizzata di Windows NT in grado di essere eseguita su architettura PowerPC, ovvero la stessa alla base del processore di GameCube (un G3 Gecko da 485 MHz).
Il risultato Γ¨ una piattaforma ibrida estremamente curiosa, anche perchΓ© l'architettura del sistema Γ¨ molto piΓΉ vicina a quella utilizzata da Apple per i vecchi Mac (infatti Mac OS X Cheetah Γ¨ arrivato con facilitΓ su Wii) e il progetto in questione risulta compatibile anche con Wii e Wii U, per via delle similitudini tra le tre console.
Ovviamente parliamo di una procedura che non puΓ² essere applicata su un GameCube senza alcuna modifica, ma se volete approfondire tutti i passaggi necessari potete trovarli all'interno del lungo video pubblicato da Jiga Tech che trovate poco sotto, dove lo youtuber ci guida attraverso tutto il procedimento di modifica e installazione di Windows NT su GameCube, inclusi tutti gli eventuali problemi da affrontare per la gestione delle periferiche, considerando che la console non presenta porte USB standard utilizzabili (cosa invece disponibile su Wii).

A copy of Super Mario Bros., still in the box and sealed with its original sticker, just sold at Heritage Auctions for $3 million. That absolutely crushes the previous record of $2 million, also for a copy of Super Mario Bros., in 2021. That sale also came hot on the heels of a controversial auction of Super Mario 64 for $1.56 million.
Part of what drove the price of this particular copy so high is that, according to Heritage Auctions, instead of shrink-wrap, this 19895 second run was sealed with a glossy sticker, which was discontinued shortly after. The site claims it's the earliest known sealed copy of the game in existence. It's also gr β¦
Even with the looming specter of rising prices, there's never been a better time for portable gaming. The Steam Deck has ushered in a new era of handheld PCs, the Analogue Pocket and other Game Boy-style remakes are making retro games more approachable than ever, the Playdate has led to an alternate universe of weirdo portable titles, and Nintendo continues to chug along with the latest iteration of the Switch. If you want to play games on the go, you're spoiled for choice. But if you're planning on doing some traveling and want to bring games along with you, I'd actually recommend none of those devices. There's a much better, and older, opt β¦
Woot is hosting a small, but welcome deal on the Nintendo Switch 2 through June 19th. New customers can save $15 on the $449.99 console with the code NEW15 used at checkout. Sure, these are microscopic savings, but come September, the Switch 2 will rise in price to $499.99, so any deal is worth telling you about.

Nintendo recently hosted a Direct presentation where it unveiled a bunch of new games β including several remakes and remasters β coming to the Switch 2 this year and in 2027. One of the most notable announcements was a modern reimagining of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time thatβs coming later in 2026. Even though the Switch 2 is barely over one year old, its future looks bright (even if it seems to be playing things a little safe currently), and there are already plenty of great games to play on the console.
