Nintendo Is Changing Game Pricing, But Not in the Way You Think | The Outerhaven

Nintendo has revealed a notable shift in how it will price its upcoming games, starting with Yoshi and the Mysterious Book. It’s also worth noting that this perspective comes from a North American market, where pricing has remained relatively stable. In other parts of the world, where higher game prices and regional differences are far more common, this shift may not feel nearly as groundbreaking. Beginning in May 2026, and starting with Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, new Nintendo-published digi...

Epic Games Layoffs Show a Bigger Problem in the Gaming Industry | The Outerhaven

Today, it was revealed by multiple sources, including Bloomberg via Jason Schreier, that Epic Games is preparing to lay off roughly 1,000 employees. It’s a staggering number, and unfortunately, it adds to a growing trend we’ve seen throughout 2026, with thousands of developers already displaced across the industry.

Screamer (2026) Review | The Outerhaven

I’ve been a fan of arcade racers ever since I first visited an arcade with my father, many years ago. Outrun, Daytona USA, Ridge Racer, and so many others were always getting my quarters. However, none of those games were available for the PC, and that platform was devoid of racing games. That is until Milestone S.r.l. created the first Screamer game back in 1995. And now, the game is back for another go, and it couldn’t have come at a better time, as arcade racing games are pretty much dead. Bu...
