N64 Game Boy.
Two Game Boy masterpieces in a week: first the Lego Game Boy, now this incredible Game Boy Micro build. Bonus points for repurposing the Rumble Pak slot as a Game Boy Advance cartridge slot. Feels so right!

Today I’m toying with the Lego Game Boy and comparing it to OG.
The brick version is even better than I imagined: an incredibly faithful, fun, and clever build. You can press every button, spin every wheel; designers nail the curves and recreate almost every label. For $48 at Costco (in-person) or $60 at Amazon, it’s even relatively affordable. (I bought it myself.)

Pokémon TCG Pocket is running it back.
Deluxe Pack ex, the newest Pokémon TCG Pocket expansion, will feature reprinted cards from multiple previously-released sets. But this time around, many of the cards will feature fancy new artwork, and each Deluxe pack will include at least one high-rarity card. The expansion will be available from September 29th to October 29th.

Hades II players on Switch 2 in TV mode can have upscaled 4K or 120fps, but not both.
Hades II runs at 1080p and up to 120fps on Switch 2.
But Supergiant Games’ Greg Kasavin tells The Verge that if players specify 4K instead of Automatic in system settings, they can force the game to output an internally upscaled 4K / 60fps image and throw away the extra fps.
