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…

More Than Just a Gimmick – Mouse Controls in Rune Factory
When Nintendo announced that Mouse controls via the Joy-Con 2 was coming to the Nintendo Switch 2, people were of two opinions: either this was a gimmick that was going to fall flat, or fans salivated at the idea of playing their favorite sim-management game, may be something like a Two Point Museum in the future. Add me to the group salivating, because I was truly excited about mouse controls the second they were rumoured and when they were officially…

Steam Deck Vs Switch 2 – An Artificial Clash
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…

Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Impressions
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…
