Quake Proves AI Isn’t the Way Forward
Microsoft has released an AI generated version of Quake 2 and it’s proof, as if proof is needed, that AI isn’t the way forward. The version of the game is buggy, hard to control, and breaks when you look up and then back down. It’s just not fun, and the generation part of it doesn’t add a thing. No amount of “a computer made this” makes it better. It comes hot off the back of the terrible Ghibli crap people…

Magic Band+ is Brilliant
I’ll begin this article by stating one thing that will become apparent if you a) purchase your own Magic Band+ or b) watch videos of others using their Magic Band+. It doesn’t always work, and that can be super frustrating. However, when it is working flawlessly (which is usually what happens) there is a lot of joy to be had. Now I would say that perhaps there is more fun here for kids than adults, but there is fun none…

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 – although no doubt scalpers will be adding a pretty penny at launch. I don’t think that’s…

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…

Switch 2: Good Enough for Now
Nintendo are launching a new console at the worst possible time. Their feature set is questionable. They’re charging for absolutely everything, including the game that explains how the console works. People are excited, the biggest fans will buy it no matter what. But the best we can say? The Switch 2 is not without hurdles to hop. 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. This does make a ton of sense, allowing Nintendo to quickly expand their initial game base by simply releasing updates for old titles. 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.…
