This rules for a lot of reasons, but especially because it dispels the myths that A.) old games were never political and B.) games like this are just stories, they aren't "about" anything. Should serve as a reminder to anyone writing about games why we should be close reading 'em.

Tried it in Airplane Mode. It says I need to download necessary data and/or updates. Hopefully there's a better answer, because this is worrying.

The Canadian video game sector contributes $5.1 billion to our GDP - making it one of the largest video game industries in the world. Despite the incredible amount of talent and innovation already present here, there's much more we can do to bolster public awareness and growth 🚀

Anyone else trying to play a Switch 1 cart in the Switch 2 finding that it just wants you to download the whole game digitally anyway? Does it just read every Switch 1 as a "digital game card?"

It should be pretty clear to anyone who played Breath of the Wild that its strength came from every inch of the game's world was deliberately placed and arranged in a way that traditional open-world filler strategies could never replicate.

Pointless Balatro lore: When I started Balatro dev I was living in my hometown of Regina, Saskatchewan. I had a bus stop outside my apartment (similar to the one in this image) and I based the art of 'Ride the Bus' on that bus stop! Every time I see that joker it reminds me of my old apartment

The Fortnite-ification of every brand is exhausting. I yearn for the days when the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles showing up on Power Rangers in Space was an event that would make a kid pee their pants in excitement. (this post is NOT autobiographical)

Here's a uniquely Canadian outlook: The Switch 2 console + Mario Kart World bundle, along with the new Pro Controller and Camera (the two most likely "must have" accessories) add up to cost more than the Mark Carney government estimates most households will save with their middle class tax cut.

"When Switch 2 arrives, there will have been no reviews of its software, no analysis of its hardware performance or battery life, or any testing of its key features ... before you have a chance of spending your hard-earned money."

Canada’s video game industry is MASSIVE but under-appreciated. That’s been bothering me. So, I spent the past 1.5 years asking dozens of AAA/indie devs, actors, lobbyists & more about how to address this & got an incredible range of perspectives! 🇨🇦 🎮 My 2nd-biggest @mobilesyrup.com feature ever:
