I'm excited that the Splatoon brand has now reached the point where it's allowed to branch out and do other things. Hopefully more spin-offs will follow! (A turn-based tactical take on Turf War would be so cool.)

Splatoon Raiders announced via Nintendo Today! A new single-player Splatoon spin-off coming exclusively to Switch 2.

Practicing self-care by sitting calmly and watching the Wholesome Games Direct.

Switch 1 games are so much nicer on Switch 2! Even running on our old non-4K TV in our family room, they're all just smoother and more detailed. Pretty wild to have all the old jank banished in an instant.

I'm vacuuming, dusting and reorganizing like royalty is about to come visit: preparing the way to add Switch 2 to the family gaming setup.

In 1990, the NES was on its way out, but in that year, it received some of the best games ever made made. Read about it in the 𝗡𝗘𝗦 𝗘𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗶𝘂𝗺 𝗩𝗼𝗹. 𝟮, available here: www.amazon.com/NES-Endings-... theyetee.com/collections/... PDF preview: drive.google.com/file/d/1ybzs...

We loved this conversation with @mikedrucker.bsky.social, former Nintendo localization writer turned comedy mogul! Hear us talk about being part of the Nintendo Treehouse, writing for Kid Icarus Uprising, naming Groose, his thoughts on the Switch 2 and a lot more! 🗣️ Links below 🗣️

Koei Tecmo confirms that you can use a USB mouse to play mouse-controlled Switch 2 games, rather than being forced to use the Joy-Con 2 on its side. You can also switch back and forth between them instantly. youtu.be/CstlgmcDgy0?...

It's Wednesday! You know what that means:

Oh hey, I'm proud to contribute to worker-owned and independent new site Skybox! This is my essay about having a stroke, losing the ability to write or walk or play video games, and digging myself out of that depressive hole using video games. It's maybe the most vulnerable writing I've ever done.

Would you like to see George Wendt eating beans in a movie? Do you eat beans at George Wendt movies? #Animaniacs

Kid Icarus acknowledged in 2025. Does my Captain N-loving childhood heart good!

If you picked up Capcom Fighting Collection 2, then...

Here's a look at the Dr. Wily's Revenge guide that is part of Hand-Drawn Game Guides: Mega Man. Going with a lighter tone for the Game Boy game. We're even working some Super Game Boy love into this one! Enjoy the preview.
