We’ve gotta be honest with you, we never saw this coming. Indeed, while we knew there were rumours of a Switch 1 focused Nintendo Direct on the horizon, and that said rumours said it would be happening this week… The idea just seemed utterly ludicrous to us. After all, are you saying Nintendo is gonna…
As you know, it’s nearly the end of the road for Mario Kart 8. Indeed, after over a decade of Mario Kart 8 being the main game in the series, it seems it’s finally time to move on. Mario Kart 10 has been teased, and it’ll be releasing on the Switch 2 sometime this year.…

There’s a Super Mario Galaxy remake, which has every galaxy and area playable in Minecraft’s engine. And there’s that version of Princess Peach’s…
When it comes to Nintendo Switch Online and its games, one thing that’s always worried us is the future stability of the service. After all, you’re merely renting access to the games available on the service, rather than buying them outright like you did on the Virtual Console. As a result, we’ve always been left…
