As I begin writing this article, I know some will call me a Nintendo fanboy, perhaps a shill, or perhaps even worse. I’ve seen far too many people writing negative discourse around the cost of Mario Kart World, $109.99 according to the most up-to-date pricing from Nintendo. I’m not here to say that the cost of Mario Kart World isn’t worth it for some folks; for those folks I say, “Wait for it to go on sale!” For my family,…

The Mario Kart World Direct aired today, April 17th, 2025. Check it out below and then come back our thoughts on what was shown. The Mario Kart World Direct spent a lot of time recapping information we already knew and then did reveal some modes, like Time Trials and Battle Mode. We saw that the world is pretty huge and there are some missions to find in Free Roam. There was even a surprise during the Game Chat bit where…

Disney Dreamlight Valley has announced their upcoming free Spring update for the game. Check out the video below and then come back for our impressions. Wow. This upcoming Wonderland update for Disney Dreamlight Valley looks amazing. I’m excited so excited about the Wonderland realm, which looks fantastic. I can’t wait to explore it. Though we are also going to meet Alice and be able to invite her to our Valley. Plus the cheshire cat will keep popping up in the…

You’ll have to pay for Bungie’s upcoming Marathon. And if you want to see everything, you’ll need to pay again and again. It’s been less than a year since Concord was released then unreleased within a two week period. It was a wake up call for PlayStation bosses, who rapidly backed away from their Games as a Service push, cancelling a slew of unreleased titles including a game based around God of War. But the folks behind Halo and Destiny…

Idiots on Tiktok have turned the new Minecraft movie into a meme. Kids (and more than a few adults) have been convinced to throw popcorn and drinks, scream loudly, and generally cause trouble in the name of fitting in. The real problem? Some producers are taking notice. The cinema business has been in freefall for a good while now. People are going to less and less films, and with more variety than ever. If you’re not James Bond, Marvel, Star…

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 (449.99 USD, 629.99 CAD) – although no doubt scalpers will be adding a pretty penny at launch.…

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…

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.…

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…

We just saw the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct. I was floored by this new system. I couldn’t believe what I saw. So I have to talk about it as much as I can. Here we gooooo! Today we saw the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct. I was so blown away by it. Though I want to say, I just found out that it’ll cost $699.99 CAD with Mario Kart World and $629.99 CAD without. Yeah, I won’t be able to get…
