🕶 Virtual Boy — A Nostalgic Nod That Missed the Mark 

One of the biggest draws was the Virtual Boy segment. While it was cool to see it acknowledged, the lack of a true 3D experience felt like a missed opportunity here. Speaking personally, I remember playing it years ago and walking away with a hard pass — it just didn’t sit right. That said, not everyone had the same experience, and it’s still part of Nintendo’s history. Nintendo Online Membership required.

Virtual Boy $99.99 or Virtual Boy Cardboard $24.99

 More Eyecatchers from ONL 2025 

So you saw the big reveals, but there were eyecatchers that deserve some love too:

• Road Kings — Coming 2026
  
  Saddle up for a next-gen trucking sim where reputation is everything. Road Kings puts you behind the wheel of a 40-ton semi, hauling cargo across the coastal plains of the American South — from bustling Jacksonville to the shadowy streets of Savannah.

Start as a rookie driver and rise through the ranks in a reactive world filled with rival crews, shifting weather, and high-stakes deliveries. Customize your rig, manage jobs, and navigate faithfully recreated highways where every decision — from brake pressure to fuel stops — can make or break your run.

As a ruthless corporation spreads chaos across the region, it’s up to you to deliver critical supplies, rescue communities, and prove that grit and goodwill still matter. With asynchronous multiplayer, dynamic simulation, and a living economy, Road Kings is more than a drive — it’s a legacy in motion.

• He-Man and the Masters of the Universe: Dragon Pearl of Destruction — Release Date TBA
  
  The power of Grayskull returns in this action-packed fantasy epic where He-Man faces off against ancient forces unleashed by the mythical Dragon Pearl. Expect high-stakes battles, classic allies, and a bold new chapter that reimagines Eternia’s fate — all with the signature style fans have loved for generations. Great job Mattel, this was a perfect match up with Limited Run Games!

“Dragon Pearl of Destruction is one of the exciting ways we’re bringing Mattel’s brands to life through digital games,” said Erika Winterholler, Head of Business Development, Digital Games at Mattel. “It’s a love letter to those who grew up with He-Man, combining nostalgic visuals with fast-paced, modern gameplay. Our goal is to honor the franchise’s legacy while introducing it to a new generation of players. The team at Limited Run Games shares that passion, and we hope the game connects with both lifelong fans and newcomers alike.”

“Dragon Pearl of Destruction is the Masters of the Universe arcade game I yearned for as a child,” said Josh Fairhurst, CEO and Executive Producer at Limited Run Games. “I am excited and honored to be playing a small part in making it a reality.”

• Absolum — October 9th 
  
  Supamonks, Guard Crush, and Dotemu join forces for a brutal, side-scrolling brawler set in a dystopian fantasy realm where survival means mastering the art of war. With hand-drawn animation, co-op carnage, and a cast of warriors forged in chaos, Absolum delivers a visceral punch to the genre — and it’s not pulling any.

If you guys haven't noticed, side scrolling beat em' ups have been showing up and laying the multiplayer... smack down and we're here for it! Absolum took the cake for me, and... the ice cream. The animation is bad ass, love the artwork, and I couldn't help but think about the Primal animated series. I've mentioned in my reviews of the franchise how it could also be an amazing game, and Absolum totally brings that back to mind like a flying punch. Should out to Creative Europ Media for co-funding this... can't wait to play. -  Blu 

• Long Gone — Coming Soon
  
  A haunting new entry in the survival horror genre, Long Gone blends psychological tension with environmental storytelling as players unravel the mystery of a vanished town swallowed by time. With eerie visuals, nonlinear exploration, and choices that shape your descent, this Gamescom 2025 reveal left us with one question: Release date please?!

• Valor Mortis — Coming 2026
  
  From the creators of Ghostrunner comes Valor Mortis, a first-person soulslike where death is just the beginning. Awaken as a fallen soldier from Napoleon’s army, now bound to supernatural forces and thrust into a world crawling with monstrosities. Battle through twisted landscapes, master otherworldly powers, and uncover a conspiracy that could doom humanity itself. This Gamescom 2025 reveal promises precision combat, haunting lore, and a descent into darkness you won’t forget.

• Swords of Legends — Coming Soon
  
  Ancient blades clash in Swords of Legends, a cinematic action-RPG steeped in Eastern mythology and supernatural warfare. With fluid combat, sweeping environments, and a tale of destiny carved in steel, this Gamescom 2025 reveal promises a heroic journey where every strike carries the weight of legend.

 The Portable Gaming Advantage 

One thing we keep hearing from busy professionals is the same refrain: “If I had the time, I’d game more.” The truth is, you can — if you embrace the power of portable gaming.

Whether it’s during your commute, on a flight, or in a hotel room between meetings, handhelds make it possible to keep up with the latest releases without sacrificing your schedule.

• Nintendo Switch 2 — Already boasting a strong third-party lineup, including Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition, Street Fighter 6, and Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition, with more on the way.

• Xbox ROG Ally — Launching October 16, 2025... this Windows-powered handheld will bring Game Pass, Xbox Play Anywhere, and PC gaming to your backpack.

• Steam Deck — Still a powerhouse for both gaming and productivity, letting you run your Steam library, emulators, and even work apps when needed.

If you’re traveling and have the space, bring your handheld of choice. The right device can turn downtime into game time — and with the titles announced at Gamescom, you’ll want every spare minute.

 Bubsy 4D: First Impression 

Before I move on, I have to call out one game that might actually be better than it came across during its Gamescom Opening Night Live showing — Bubsy 4D. I’m not ready to write it off, but I couldn’t help wondering if we’re in for a back‑and‑forth between tracks and platforms in what could end up feeling like a half‑hearted attempt to bring Bubsy back. And honestly? I want them to win.

The art direction didn’t help my confidence. Bubsy and the various locations shown looked like they belonged to entirely different games. That said, the cat‑paw cloth texture was one of the cleanest design elements I spotted in the trailer — right alongside the cel‑shaded protagonist. The problem is, nothing in that opening montage really grabbed me… and I wanted it to. A proper story setup could’ve gone a long way toward pulling me in.



Now, I’m not here to doom‑and‑gloom a game I haven’t played. My fingers are still crossed. In fact, there was one moment that gave me hope: Bubsy calling himself the “Orange Blur.” If you didn’t know, Sonic the Hedgehog is famously the “Blue Blur,” so hearing that blatant nod makes me wonder if this is actually a lampoonish, self‑aware adventure. That would be interesting. The spaceship and boss battle teases also caught my attention — enough to make me curious about the real story behind Bubsy 4D. On that note, let's check out the official announcement trailer:

 Bubsy 4D: Story (Official description) 

Join Bubsy on an intergalactic, platforming adventure! The infamous, wise-cracking bobcat has returned to 3D with new challenges, new moves, and even more purrsonality. Run, jump, glide, and roll across alien planets, battle robotic sheep, and collect tons and tons of yarn. What could possibly go wrong?

Bubsy’s longstanding enemies, the fleece-obsessed Woolies, have stolen all of the Earth’s sheep. Oh well, that ain’t Bubsy’s problem. Until the sheep return as deadly BaaBots, empowered by Woolie technology, to steal The Golden Fleece. Bubsy must journey through space to stop the BaaBots and reclaim the Fleece with the help of his motley crew of acquaintances. 

Luckily, Bubsy has acquired new skills to navigate the craft-themed levels. He can leap, glide, flip, claw up walls, and pounce off enemies. He can also puff up into a new hairball form to roll at blistering speeds. The team at Fabraz crafted this expressive new moveset to cater to beginners and speedrun enthusiasts alike.

 And While We're Here... Outlaws Remaster 

Is it fair to say the same about the Outlaws Remaster? Because I’m still trying to figure out who heck was behind the controller during that demo — missing every single target on screen. Make the player feel like they're going to be stepping into the shoes of a certified badass, not a noob, unless you show progression to something greater. The cutscene animation style works for me, but the gameplay was rough. It makes me wonder: would a full‑blown remake have been too much effort?

Gamescom Opening Night Live 2025 was a reminder of why we love this industry: the creativity, the spectacle, and the shared excitement of what’s next. From AAA blockbusters to inventive indies, the future of gaming looks brighter — and more portable — than ever.
