September 2024. Saved you a click.

Unsurprising if it's true, announced before E3 dates, demos on E3, release on September and ready for the Holidays sales.

(When I talk of E3 I mean the dates where most companies are doing their conferences, I know E3 is not a thing anymore, so June-July)

Can I get a bigger headline that reads "GameShark still exists!" Because that is bigger news.

Wiki says they're under ownership by Mad Catz, which made me think "Mad Catz still exists?"

Next you'll tell me Game Genie is still around!

I have bad news...

That the Game Genie IP now belongs to EA?

A la carte

0 through 8: $0.99 each

9 through D: $1.29 each

E & F: $1.99 each

Individual codes: $4.99

Bundles

Master code (per game): $9.99

All available codes (per game): $49.99

Extras

Ability to quick enable/disable codes: $19.99

Honestly, the fact that Gameshark is coming back feels like a bigger surprise than the fact that we might be getting a Switch successor this year.

"Formerly known as GameShark, AI Shark is set to redefine the gaming landscape with its revolutionary AI-enhanced technology,”

Also the date has been "debunked" as "just a guess" by ai shark.

It's a pretty good guess tbh... At worst is October or similar but I expect later on the year but earlier enough so it's before the holidays but after they showed demos and games in summer conferences.

This assumes they have inside knowledge (which maybe they do), but they could also just be guessing, I think everyone thinks its going to release in sept-nov this year.

Maybe AI blunder... or foresight. Either way in September we'll know if the prophecy was true!

OP's avatar is very fitting for this headline.
