Let’s see how it matches up. I don’t know about you, but I’m already giving my shelf space a worried look as I consider the number of Switch 2 launch titles I want to pick up. It’s been just about a week since Nintendo revealed the Switch 2 and its 21 separate launch games (24…
The chosen few. Pre-orders are one thing, but there’s something about lotteries and ‘invitations’ to pre-order hot-item electronics which rubs me the wrong way. “Here, it’s our honour to let you give us hundreds of your hard-earned currency units, you lucky sausage! Gis a card number.” Still, it’s the name of the game if you’re…
Quick, act surprised. Nintendo is launching its upcoming console, the Switch 2, in most major territories on 5th June 2025. That is, except for China.

Well, that’s exactly what we’re seeing in this week’s UK charts. As ever, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe keeps Nintendo in the running by holding firm at…
“I am an adventurer, boys”. The mouse is out of the bag — Disney Illusion Island will no longer be a Switch exclusive; but the game is getting a free update on the same day it lands on other consoles, 30th May 2025. And that free update brings everyone’s favourite money making uncle Scrooge McDuck…
DKK Wrap. For all the excitement of last week’s Direct, Nintendo’s Switch 2 pricing has gone down like a cold cup of something nasty. £75/$80 games, a sizeable bump in cost for the system itself, current economic conditions, and tariffs have melded into the perfect storm, with the once-affordable Nintendo now appearing a little more…
The boards do work on water. In much the same way that modern society pines for the flying cars they have always been promised, the modern gamer yearns for hoverboards in their open-world adventures… or they should – because it’s a lot of fun. Last year’s Gori: Cuddly Carnage featured a floating board as both…
