A few months ago a friend asked me the following, “Would you play Hogwarts Legacy on Nintendo Switch?” I think I gave him the frankest of answers: “If Hogwarts Legacy on the Nintendo Switch is the ONLY way you can enjoy the game, then yes. But if you can play it on anything else, I’d do that instead.” The response, I think, was fair – while Hogwarts Legacy on the Nintendo Switch wasn’t unplayable by any means, it also wasn’t…

Whenever a new console launches, there is going to be obvious excitement for the possibilities. Each console, as is normal, comes with its own set of issues or perceived issues, and the Nintendo Switch 2 is no different. While comments and critiques of price were fairly commonplace leading up to the console’s launch, the rhetoric has died down, and for good reason. Is it possible the Nintendo Switch 2 is worth what Nintendo is asking for, taking into account inflation…

The upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 game Donkey Kong Bananza will have its own Direct. We have the info below! There will be a Donkey Kong Bananza Direct this Wednesday, June 18th. It will air at 8 am central and be 15 minutes long. This game looks absolutely amazing. So far, we know that you can smash walls and dig into the ground.

Earlier this week, I hooked up my Nintendo Switch 2 Camera to my Nintendo Switch 2 console and hopped online with fellow Canadian media members, members of the Nintendo of Canada PR team, and Jose Otero from Nintendo Treehouse for a one hour session around GameChat. GameChat was detailed quite a bit in the Nintendo Direct that we saw just before launch, and while it seemed like a cool new concept, I wasn’t sure whether it would latch on or…

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is easily the most played Nintendo Switch game in the Roffel household, one that has been played, on average, once a week since launch. With all the tracks added via the DLC launches, there was always fierce competition to be had. With the announcement of Mario Kart World during the last Nintendo Direct, we were all pretty excited about the future of the franchise. With the promise of an open world, racing with 23 other characters,…

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…

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…

The launch of the Nintendo Switch 2 is going to bring new experiences to the table like Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza, but it’s bringing a nice dose of old games and nostalgia as well. Alongside the release of the Switch 2, Nintendo has also launched GameCube games onto Nintendo Switch Online. Only available on the Nintendo Switch 2, the GameCube game offerings are pretty light right now, but there is a lot to get excited about. Right…

Street Fighter 6 finally makes its debut on Nintendo’s powerful new hardware, the Nintendo Switch 2, and the result is an impressive, if slightly trimmed, version of Capcom’s acclaimed fighter that still packs a serious punch. Packing a Punch Thanks to the upgraded capabilities of the Nintendo Switch 2 with 1080p docked and 720p handheld resolution makes a great fight scene. Visual compromises exist compared to the PS5/Series X versions; shadows are softer, background details trimmed back, and loading times…

The Summer Games events have come and gone and barely a moment went by without something new and exciting to check out on consoles. There’s no doubt about it: the next year is going to be pretty fantastic. No matter what kind of game you love, there was something for you. If you’re really into moody Soulslike games, then you’re eating really well. But it doesn’t end there. 2026 is going to be huge, and that’s without taking Grand Theft…
