Although it is only a month away, Donkey Kong Bananza cannot come soon enough in my opinion. There has been a lot of chatter about the lack of first party experiences for the Nintendo Switch 2, but once Donkey Kong launches on July 17th, I imagine that rhetoric will die down very quickly. Although I was less than impressed by this new Donkey Kong adventure when the game was first announced and shown off, I’ve come full circle after the…

Whenever a new console launches, there is going to be obvious excitement for the possibilities. Each console, as is normal, comes with its own set of issues or perceived issues, and the Nintendo Switch 2 is no different. While comments and critiques of price were fairly commonplace leading up to the console’s launch, the rhetoric has died down, and for good reason. Is it possible the Nintendo Switch 2 is worth what Nintendo is asking for, taking into account inflation…

See Below for a press release for Echoes of the Unread. Matt Tuttle has really made a musical masterpiece.

I love when my two favorite hobbies – video games and board games – cross over with each other. We’ve had some truly magnificent video game themed board games over the years, and while I won’t rehash those here, another is on the horizon. Maestro Media, in collaboration with Supercell, is launching Clash of Clans on Kickstarter in just a few days, and we could not be more excited! Here is more from Maestro Media: “Maestro Media, in collaboration with…

Playing Backyard Baseball brings up so many childhood memories. I have been playing on my Android device and Steam, but today more platforms are available to have fun in. Backyard Baseball '97 has launched on the PlayStation 5 and Switch. I can't wait to round the bases in the completely reverse-engineered from its 1997 original release on PC by Mega Cat Studios.

As you know, Two Point Museum has been one of our favorite experiences in the last little while – it builds on all the great work SEGA has done with Two Point Hospital and Two Point Campus, and creates a truly enjoyable management simulation game. I’ve been curious to see what the road map forward would look like for this game, and we are getting the first glimpses of that with free content coming this summer. Check out the press…

The Switch 2 has been extremely successful in its first week, just like everybody who was paying attention knew it would. I have questions about its long-term prospects but, believe me, it’s never going to be a dud. It’s never enough to have your company do well. You have to compare it to other, less hugely successful devices. I’ve seen a lot of conversation around the Steam Deck in the last seven days. And people have used the Stam Deck…

The launch of the Nintendo Switch 2 is going to bring new experiences to the table like Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza, but it’s bringing a nice dose of old games and nostalgia as well. Alongside the release of the Switch 2, Nintendo has also launched GameCube games onto Nintendo Switch Online. Only available on the Nintendo Switch 2, the GameCube game offerings are pretty light right now, but there is a lot to get excited about. Right…

The Summer Games events have come and gone and barely a moment went by without something new and exciting to check out on consoles. There’s no doubt about it: the next year is going to be pretty fantastic. No matter what kind of game you love, there was something for you. If you’re really into moody Soulslike games, then you’re eating really well. But it doesn’t end there. 2026 is going to be huge, and that’s without taking Grand Theft…

There has been a lot of discourse around the Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour experience on Nintendo Switch 2, some of it warranted and some of it not. In an effort to not bury the lead, this was an enjoyable experience overall by both myself and two of my kids. I would argue the $14.99 CAD price tag isn’t all that crazy for the amount of time you’ll spend with the game. The problem here is that there are too…
