Nintendo plans to produce 22 million Switch devices to address supply shortages
Nintendo’s Switch has sold more than 52 million units in just over three years, but the console remains a hot commodity. Right now, it’s nearly impossible to buy a Nintendo Switch without paying nearly two times the usual list price.
On Amazon, the only available option is resellers charging nearly double the standard $300 pricetag. The digital storefronts of Target, GameStop, Best Buy, and Walmart are simply out of stock with no refresh date in sight.
Terraonion Is Releasing An Optical Disc Emulator For The Sega Saturn And Dreamcast
We all live with the knowledge that everything put together eventually falls apart, but in the case of consoles based around optical media, the issue is pretty grave. Optical drives are prone to all kinds of problems – especially when they’re over 20 years old – and as a result, many of the CD-based systems out there will develop difficulties which can lead to them becoming totally useless.
That’s where the guys over at Terraonion come in. The company has already solved this issue on the PC Engine and Mega Drive / Genesis, but its next project is on a whole new level – it’s an optical disc emulator which effectively replaces the disc drive inside your Sega Saturn or Dreamcast, giving your machine a whole new lease of life.
How RollerCoaster Tycoon’s Shuttle Loop encouraged murder (lol)
By Alex Alusheff
I remember three things about playing RollerCoaster Tycoon as a kid: Leafy Lake, the carousel music and sending people to their deaths on the Shuttle Loop.
Come on, we’ve all done it. Just shorten the track, add some boosters and watch the show unfold.
I played RollerCoaster Tycoon a lot as a kid when it released in 1999. Who didn’t play this game back then? Aside from Legos, it was the closest thing to Minecraft for 90s kids.
I was 7 years old at the time and still very innocent. My mind didn’t automatically go into slaughter mode. RollerCoaster Tycoon presents you with the opportunity. But after a few hours, the game basically forces you to commit premeditated murder.
Call of Duty cheaters on PC are pushing console players away from crossplay
Last week, Infinity Ward said they’d “issued over 70,000 bans worldwide” to cheaters in Call of Duty: Warzone. And yet, as Eurogamer reports, players are still encountering aimbots and wallhacks in both Warzone and Modern Warfare. Here’s just one blatant example of cheating.
Obviously, mouse-and-keyboard players have an advantage over those using controllers, even with aim assist. But as the clip linked above shows, killcams expose players getting strings of kills via perfect headshots without ever aiming

ASUS Launches An Old GPU: The NVIDIA GT 710 with Four 4K HDMI Ports
I’ve noticed of late that certain companies are ‘relaunching’ older parts in new designs. We’ve seen it recently with some of the older AMD APUs finding their way into new motherboard designs, but here it’s a case of a base GPU returning to the market. ASUS has listed on its website a ‘new’ GT 710: this is a super low end graphics chip with 192 CUDA cores on the 87 mm2 GK208 Kepler die that originally launched in late 2015 / early 2016. The goal of this sort of graphics card us to supply basic video outputs to machines that do not come with any integrated graphics on the processor.
