Nintendo’s Switch 2 Pricing Will Hit Hard
Pricing for the Nintendo Switch 2 has proven to be mildly controversial. In reality, it’s the costing of everything around the console that should be raising eyebrows. Right now you can jump onto Steam and buy a Deck from as little as £350. The OLED model with more than 500GB of memory costs £479. The Switch 2 console on its own is £395.99 (449.99 USD, 629.99 CAD) – although no doubt scalpers will be adding a pretty penny at launch.…

The Potential of the Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Mouse
Nintendo officially confirmed what we already knew – the Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con controllers had a mouse capability which would allow you to play some mouse-based games. What Nintendo did show off in the direct wasn’t as appealing to me – although Drag X Drive is intriguing, as was that mini-golf minigame – the potential for the mouse compatibility in games is exciting. Throughout today’s Nintendo Direct, a number of really great titles were announced as coming to the Nintendo…

Just hours after the Nintendo Direct revealing its brand new console, US President Donald Trump is holding a press conference of his own.…

Mario Kart World – Bigger Doesn’t Mean Better
I’m not going to lie, my excitement for Mario Kart World is incredibly higher and likely will only be driven higher when the game gets its own Nintendo Direct on April 17. An open world-ish Mario Kart experience was probably the last thing I would have expected from the franchise, but it could be a positive change. Trying to build on Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is going to be one hell of a task. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is the…

GameCube Coming to Nintendo Switch Online
Another system is being added to Nintendo Switch Online – that’s right, Nintendo GameCube will be heading to the Nintendo Switch 2 along with a brand new Nintendo GameCube wireless controller. There’s a bit to dig into here, so let’s talk about it. First and foremost, the release of the Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker is probably enough confirmation that we won’t be getting a remaster of that game anytime soon on Nintendo Switch 2. Is it a guarantee?…

Nintendo Switch 2 Will Update Nintendo Switch Games
As shown in today’s Nintendo Direct, Nintendo plans to release updates for some past Nintendo Switch titles to enhance them on Nintendo Switch 2.

A few games were shown off during the Direct, including updates to Mario Party Jamboree, and the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.…

Fantasy Life (Back) on Nintendo Switch
In a move that perhaps did surprise me, although perhaps it didn’t, Fantasy Life is once again coming to the Nintendo Switch. I say once again because there was a fair amount of drama around the title when Level-5 released the final release trailer. Editor Note – in their last gameplay trailer about a month ago, Level-5 did indicate it was coming to “All Platforms” and showed a bit of Nintendo Switch gameplay. However, many including myself missed that trailer…
