The Nintendo Switch looks like it might be complete weaksauce when compared to the best consoles from Sony and Microsoft. But the real question is: Does that matter? Probably not.

Video: Lots of video games use the influence of H.P. Lovecraft's dread-drenched Elder Gods mythos. It's been a while since there's been one that tackled the author's works directly, but an upcoming title is going to attempt just that.

Video: Forget about dropping $469.95 on the Nintendo Switch just to get your next Super Mario Bros. fix. As Jason Cichon demonstrates, all you need is a big pile of plastic bricks and some mad LEGO skills to build a custom side-scrolling Super Mario level. The only thing that's really missing is a hero.

Australia has a public holiday coming up. And while that's great for gatherings and having a good time with friends, sometimes you just want the day to yourself. That's a great situation for playing video games - but sometimes you want something that can be done and dusted in a single day.

Fortunately, there's plenty of great smaller titles that you can enjoy in a single sitting. So if you're looking for a game you can start and finish in a single day, here's 9 titles worth looking at.

Video: In the first Injustice game, Superman took over the world and gathered a team of heroes and villains to smack around Batman and the super-folks who objected to super-rule. You can see who won in the new trailer for Injustice 2.

Thanks to its ability to attract non-gamers, nostalgic characters, simple mechanics, the novelty of augmented reality and its social nature, Pokemon GO reached a level of success in 2016 that eludes even some of the most successful traditional video games.

Record downloads, engagement and of course - revenue.

First it was the presentation, then it was the hands-on. After three hours of previewing the Nintendo Switch in Melbourne for a press event, here's what surprised, disappointed, raised questions and put a smile on my face about the Nintendo Switch.

No one at Peter Jackson's Weta Workshop does anything in halves. Ever. Even former Mythbuster Adam Savage was near-speechless after a recent visit to the studio to meet sculptor Johnny Fraser-Allen and the enormous project he's undertaken: building a room-sized, fully sculpted replica of the Labyrinth board game we saw last year.

If you missed it live but only want to catch the games, here's everything.

Two things that persistently hold a special place in geek hearts are the Apple II desktop computer and the video game Portal. What happens when you put them together? Magic.

Now the Nintendo Switch conference is done and dusted, what have we learned?

Here's all the details revealed on what you can play, when you can play it and how much it will cost you.

One of the stranger moments of my life occurred this morning, when I competed at virtually milk a cow against a total stranger (hi Garrett!). Using the Nintendo Switch's new Joy-Con controllers, moving it up and down and alternating pressing shoulder buttons, I fought to fill up cups of milk as quickly as possible.

In just a couple of short months, Nintendo's first console since 2012, Switch, will be here. Nintendo made the console's existence known last October, but until yesterday was completely mum on any and all details. Now we know a lot more about the company's shape-shifting console. So here are the facts.

We now know that the Nintendo Switch officially drops on March 3 for $469.95, but if having a new Legend of Zelda game available at launch isn't enough incentive for you to pre-order the shape-shifting console, maybe a game that has you milking the udders of a virtual cow will have you whipping out your credit card.

Yesterday, Nintendo revealed key details about its upcoming Switch console, including its release date (March 3) and price (a cool $469.95). None of that mattered, however, once the company brought out an in-house "squid researcher" to introduce Splatoon 2, a sequel to the Wii U's 2015 team shooter coming this winter.

Today at 3pm Nintendo is going to be releasing a helluva lot more info on its new console the Nintendo Switch.

We are very excited.

You can watch it all go down here.

Back in October, Nintendo teased out its latest console, the Nintendo Switch, with a splashy teaser video that left us very, very excited. The neat part about the Switch is that it's two consoles in one. When docked to the TV, it's like a regular set-top box. The "switch" happens when you pull it's screen out from a dock, and attach two Joy Con controllers to the sides, turning it into a portable console for gaming on the go.

The app market is still booming, and skilled coders are highly in-demand (and well compensated). If you want to join their ranks, then you should pick up the Professional Mobile Developer Bundle.

Elon Musk, our beloved spaceboy, sat down yesterday with Y Combinator's Sam Altman to talk about, well, a whole bunch of stuff: Colonising new planets, productivity, artificial intelligence. Stuff we generally associate with Musk and his business ventures.
