Oh Look, The Vita’s Back

Anbernic has revealed new Vita-inspired handhelds, including models called the RG Vita and Vita Pro. The devices were shown in white and black with some small design touches, but the company did not provide pricing or specifications. The roundup notes the original OG Vita still looks best, while the new models may serve as alternatives until any rumored Sony handheld appears.

The column also highlighted criticism of Nintendo’s recent hardware and software moves. IGN’s Logan Plant questioned the value of an optional Virtual Boy attachment for Nintendo Switch Online and argued the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition of Super Mario Bros. Wonder—criticized for an $80 price for new buyers—does not justify its cost, though a $20 upgrade pack is available for existing owners.

Blizzard QA testers ratified their first union contract, which the report says guarantees annual wage increases, protects against mandatory crunch, and includes guardrails for how generative AI is used.
