While impressive there is still some ways to go before it rivals Geoff Keighley’s other awards show “The Game Awards” which had 85 million live streams back in December 2021

The majority of the Summer Game Fest took place from June 9-12 but announcements were made over a matter of weeks as well and earlier on June 2nd PlayStation had it’s state of play event which showcased games such as Street fighter 6, Final Fantasy 16 and the long-awaited Resident Evil 4 Remake. The Xbox and Bethesda showcase on June 12th had their own games to show off such as the first look into Starfield Gameplay and Redfall gameplay.

Next year there will be another Summer Game Fest which Geoff Keighley confirmed will be both a digital and in-person event “I’m excited to share that Summer Game Fest will return in June 2023 as a digital and an in-person event, to bring the gaming community together,”

It’s unclear whether this means that the Summer Game Fest will be open to the public or not but if it is it would mark the first time that the Summer Game Fest can be attended physically as previous years were digital showcases.

On top of that E3 which was the go-to for many top announcements will be coming back in 2023 as the E3 owner entertainment software association has said during this month that they are planning to bring back the long-running gaming event in 2023

With a variety of game shows taking place as well as various companies such as PlayStation during their own showcases it’s unclear just how much there will be to show but it’s sure to be competitive and exciting year for gaming in general.

New Nintendo 3DS

Expect to see this beauty on the shelves on 13th February 2015 in the UK!

The latest hardware was announced on 29th August 2014 and integrates a number of new innovations and features, these mainly being a new analogue control stick, more computing power, two new buttons, Amiibo integration, and changeable cover plates. As with the original 3DS, this latest version will come in both standard and XL, which will both feature faster processing and revised controls.

In addition to this new controller, the 3DS incorporates third and fourth back trigger buttons, the ZR and ZL buttons, conveniently located for use with the new analogue stick. As we can see from this, the handheld console harbours dimensions similar to current hardware. We can expect a wider 3D viewing angle, which will provide far less blurring when looked at from the side. Computing power has also been expanded by brand new internal can you buy viagra online hardware. Fancy!

The New 3DS integrates NFC connectivity into the bottom touch-screen, allowing Nintendo’s Amiibo figurines to be placed directly on the display to interact with the software. What’s more (and I’m sure that this is everyone’s favourite part of any handheld hardware), the latest version of the 3DS’ shell allows changeable cover plates, so that you may easily customise the physical appearance of your very own piece. Among the new cover plate designs are a variety of Mario-themed designs, including iconic mushrooms and a nifty wood grain throwback design.

What’s not to love about the latest version of the 3DS?! A console and screen all-in-one! It’ll be made available in the UK on 13th February 2015.
