Management sims are games that I love to hate. You face an endless onslaught of extremely demanding customers who want you to perform your services in a very particular way, and pronto. If you leave them unattended for too long, then they make disgruntled faces. Mess up enough times, and they might even dock your pay.…

     Legend of Zelda PC port makes Link to the Past playable on PC, legally

There's a new Legend of Zelda PC port, and while it isn't an official PC release from Nintendo, playing the classic RPG game on your computer is still legal – mostly. The Zelda PC port in question is A Link to the Past, first released on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1991, rereleased multiple times through Nintendo's virtual console and online offerings, and, as ever with Nintendo games, locked to Nintendo systems only. GitHub user snesrev reverse engineered A Link to the Past, also known as Zelda 3, and created a native PC port of the game that's completely playable – so long as you have the ROM yourself.

The Last Of Us Part I's remake is heading to PlayStation 5 on September 2nd, which I assume is of modest interest if you want to play Joel and Ellie's story over from the beginning with prettier graphics. It's more interesting to us in PC land because it'll be the first time the heart-and-zombie smasher makes its way to PC - albeit "very soon" after its console release.

Most 'realistic graphics' mods make games look worse, but that's not the case with NaturalVision Evolved. The long-in-development Grand Theft Auto 5 mod is a comprehensive revamp of lighting, textures, models and much more, but it remains faithful to the art direction of the base game.

You can now download a Single Player Beta of the mod - and even if you don't plan on doing that, it's worth watching the trailer below.

Pokemon Pikachu Jet TR by Singaporean airliner Scoot

The Pokemon Company has revealed that the Singaporean airliner Scoot will receive an official Pokemon-themed jet. The plane will be known as Pikachu Jet TR, and it will begin its maiden flight from Singapore to Tokyo on September 9, 2022.

The Pikachu Jet TR's livery will feature Pokemon from the series' first two generations. Lapras, Meganium, Psyduck, Pichu, and Celebi will accompany Pikachu in decorating the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner. The same Singaporean plane will also fly to destinations other than Tokyo, such as Seoul in South Korea.

The Japanese press release added that The Pokemon Company will hold more Pokemon events in Singapore. The three-day "Pikachu Weekend in Singapore," set to run on November 18-20, 2022, will include a Pikachu night show at Marina Bay and a Pokemon GO Safari Zone at Gardens by the Bay.

Singapore will be the second location outside Japan to receive an official Pokemon airplane livery. In late July 2022, The Pokemon Company announced that Taiwan's China Airlines will be the first non-Japanese airline to fly a Pokemon-themed plane. While the company had previously worked with other airliners like Hokkaido's Air Do, it started the Flying Pikachu project with the Japanese airliner Skymark in late May 2022.

Scoot's Pikachu Jet TR will begin its first flight from Singapore to Tokyo's Narita International Airport on September 9, 2022.

Square Enix shutting down Deep Insanity: Asylum

Square Enix has announced that it will shut down Deep Insanity: Asylum on October 31, 2022, at 12:00 JST. The company has also disabled real money purchases for the in-game currency at the same time it announced the Japan-exclusive game's end of service.

The Deep Insanity title first appeared in public when Square Enix registered its trademark in November 2020. The company then formally revealed the media-mix project in June 2021. The project consists of the Nirvana manga, The Lost Child anime, and the free-to-play game Asylum.

The Lost Child anime show ran through one full season with twelve episodes aired on Japanese television from October to December 2021. The Nirvana manga only had four volumes, with the last one released in March 2022, and a new chapter has not shown up in the 9th volume of Monthly Big Gangan magazine published in Japan in late August 2022.

As for Asylum, Square Enix launched the free-to-play RPG for iOS and Android mobile devices on October 14, 2021. The mobile game is also available on PC via Steam. However, the company strictly limited access to the title exclusively to Japan only. The game had not even reached its first anniversary when Square Enix announced its shutdown. By the time it does, the game's operation team will be in the middle of the process of closing down its server.

Deep Insanity: Asylum is available for PC, Android, and iOS devices in Japan until October 31, 2022.

Miles Edgeworth and Phoenix Wright Pop Up Parade figures

Phoenix Wright and Miles Edgeworth, the protagonist lawyer and rival prosecutor from Capcom's Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, will receive Pop Up Parade figures. Good Smile Company has opened pre-orders for both figures on its North American and international web stores.

The Pop Up Parade figures will depict both Phoenix Wright and Miles Edgeworth on a smaller scale. Both of the immovable figures will have similar heights at approximately 17cm (~6.7 inches).

Good Smile Company will close pre-orders for both figures on September 28, 2022. It will ship the packages to Japan in February 2023 and North America in April 2023. While both figures have the same schedule, the company will sell them separately at $34.99 each.

The Pop Up Parade figures are not the first items Good Smile Company had produced for Ace Attorney characters. It previously revealed Nendoroids of Phoenix Wright and Miles Edgeworth. While the company closed pre-orders for these chibi movable figures in January 2022 and has already released them in Japan, it will ship them to North America in October 2022.

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney originally appeared for Game Boy Advance in Japan as Gyakuten Saiban in 2001. The English localization appeared for the first time on Nintendo DS in 2005. Capcom has since released the Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy which compiles the first game with Justice For All and Trials and Tribulations for all current-generation consoles, PCs, and mobile devices.

     Ninja Turtles Cowabunga Collection Review 1Due to the way video game licensing works, I never expected to see a collection of most of Konami's TMNT games. Somehow, in some way, things were finagled to allow nearly every one of them to be sold together in a single package. All of these games won't mean much to everyone, and it's clear that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection includes some of its entries for completion's sake. But there are some truly great games here with some nice bells and whistles, even if the games and their options aren't all winners. There are technically 13 games included with TMNT: The Cowabunga Collection. If you want to get more technical, there are really only nine, as there are multiple versions of the original arcade game, Turtles in Time, and the fighting game. There are a whopping three versions of the latter, covering SNES, Genesis, and NES. Still, this is a mostly beefy collection of titles, more so because it includes nearly every single pre-20...

     X Plane 12 Seaplane Wonders (copy)In a single, hotly-anticipated tweet, Laminar Research has confirmed that X-Plane 12 is coming in hot. In aviation terms, X-Plane 12 is pretty much on its "final approach" before landing in the libraries of simmers worldwide as an Early Access release. The new flight sim has been hotly-anticipated for a good while now by the community. After all, its predecessor is a tad over five years old at this point. Laminar has steadily released more and more details surrounding X-Plane 12 in the lead-up to this first phase of release. It was announced several months ago that it would start its life as an Early Access title. Now, it seems that the wait will soon be over.   The early (metal) bird gets the worm As described in the tweet, the studio is putting the finishing touches on what it considers to be "a candidate for public Early Access." Testing will soon be underway, and as long as all lights are green by the end of the testing phase, then X-Plane 12 should be...

     Boulies Master Series Gaming Chair Review Price Buy Size WeightBoulies is a smaller UK-based chair manufacturer that seeks to design a chair that is the middle road between comfort and support. It utilizes a racer-style frame and microfiber suede to emulate a car interior, meaning this chair definitely presents a high bar to live up to. Only starting international sale in 2019, the company is definitely on the smaller end. When asked to review the Boulies Master Series, we decided it would be a great chance to highlight a well-made gaming chair. For me personally, I work from home and spend a minimum of 50 hours a week sitting in a chair. Being able to sit comfortably while also maintaining proper posture and getting good back support is one of the most important things in my day-to-day life. Getting up and down frequently, or sitting at the wrong angle may prove frustrating and painful after an eight-hour shift. In this regard, the Boulies Master Series delivers.   Customization and comfort One of the main draws for the Boulies Master Series...

     Victoria 3 release Industrialists mapThose unfamiliar with Paradox Interactive's Victoria 3 may see it as just another strategy game themed around an important historical era. In actuality though, fans of strategy games see Victoria 3 as a fairly significant release, and its predecessor, Victoria 2, came out over a decade ago. Those who have invested countless hours into Victoria 2 for the past 12 years can finally get excited about having something new to play. Fortunately, the extended wait for Victoria 3 will end fairly soon, as Paradox Interactive just announced that it will come to PC on October 25. A recent press release describes Victoria 3 as "a deep socio-economic and political simulation" that sees players catering to the needs of countless individuals "across a century of dramatic technological and social upheaval." Of course, citizens will regularly require food, so try not to leave them starving as you craft your ideal Victorian Era nation. Although this may imply that th...

     New Logitech handheld steam deck competitor pc gaming cloudNew images of Logitech's new gaming handheld Steam Deck competitor were allegedly leaked today. The images show off a compact device similar in appearance to the Switch and Steam Deck. Rumors about the device picked up lately, and this latest leak provides a clearer picture of what to expect. Twitter user @HazzadorGamin leaked images allegedly of the upcoming Logitech gaming handheld. The handheld is being developed in partnership with Tencent and will be a cloud-only gaming device.   The images show a white device with small pops of yellow as accent colors, sporting black buttons for readability. The pictures thankfully show the device being held, which tells us a bit about the scale of the device. Assuming the actor in the image is an adult male of average build, the device should be just larger than a Switch Lite. The button layout is much like a Switch with offset joysticks. The face buttons are labelled with the now standard xyab. It's a fairly generic design, but...
