Go on, tell us. We’ve now been glued to our Switch 2 for a whole month, and it’s got us wondering how much mileage our community has gotten out of the new game Mario Kart World. While it might not be the launch title everyone was hoping for, it’s still packed with plenty of things…
FREE WORKS. Who needs an OLED TV when you have a widescreen CRT TV? Okay, genuinely, CRT scanlines are gorgeous and we have a huge soft spot for these chunky units. Sitting on the floor, looking up at the screen as we ran around in Super Mario 64 or Ocarina of Time; pure bliss. Read…

1.21 gigabytes!? Switch 2 brought with it something we’d dreamt about on the original Switch: GameCube games on NSO. With the new GC controller giving Wind Waker, F-Zero GX, and SoulCalibur II that authentic feeling (while also adding wireless without a WaveBird and sneaking in some gyro and other neat features, too), we’ve been having…
