Final Fantasy VII Rebirth demo now available on Nintendo Switch 2 and Xbox

Hey everyone, just wanted to let you know the demo is finally out! It covers the first two chapters, and the best part is, any progress you make will carry over when the full game launches. Big thanks to Nova Crystallis for giving me the heads-up! If you’re curious about how the game might look on the Switch 2, check out James’ thoughts on it – I’ve linked it here. You can download the demo now on Xbox and Switch 2 (it’s available in both Europe and North America).

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth’s Nintendo Switch 2 release is shaping up to a pretty good start, going by the demo

Let’s clarify a few things first. We only had a chance to play the game in handheld mode before the demo came out, so our initial thoughts are based on about half of the total experience. However, we believe no handheld device will consistently run the game above 30 frames per second, even with streaming, and the Switch 2 seems to perform surprisingly well given that. We did notice some minor slowdowns in towns, but generally the game maintains its 30 FPS target during key moments. Importantly, despite aiming for 30 FPS, the game’s controls feel very responsive. Having recently played a similar game, Kena: Bridge of Spirits, which had noticeable input lag, we were impressed by how well Rebirth handles this.

Solana Triangle: Will a 10% Breakout Save the Charts?

The pattern places two lines at opposing slopes: the upper line as resistance, the lower as support. Like any arithmetic sermon, the truth is that when price breaks out of either border, direction is declared. A surge above the triangle is labeled bullish; a drop below is bearish-labels pasted on a map that keeps changing territory.

Sneaky South Korea: The Crypto-Detective Agency Strikes Real Estate Deals!

According to a local gossip column-oh, I mean report-the NTS is busy putting the finishing touches on an “Integrated Virtual Asset Analysis System.” This masterpiece will graciously allow the snooping of the source of funds used in property purchases. Why? To close those pesky tax loopholes, particularly those associated with gift taxes and undeclared crypto fortunes-because who doesn’t love a good loophole closure?

Store fights Pokemon scalpers with a mandatory quiz

Okay, so I just heard about this and it’s amazing! If you’re planning to flip Pokemon cards at Bic Camera in Ikebukuro, you’re going to have to prove you’re a real fan first. Someone named Ryo Saeba shared a picture of a notice saying they’re making everyone take a Pokemon quiz before they can even buy the cards. It’s a great way to stop scalpers, honestly!

Bitmine’s Ethereal Plunge: 5M ETH and a Sea of Red Ink

Bitmine, with the fervor of a lepidopterist chasing a rare moth, has amassed its hoard of ETH at an average price surpassing $3,600 per token. Meanwhile, Ethereum, like a wayward comet, orbits the market at a mere $2,300. The gap, one might say, is as wide as the chasm between a poet’s ambition and his bank account.
