It’s cartoon o’clock.
We are just one week away from the arrival of MARVEL Cosmic Invasion on Switch and Switch 2, and to mark the occasion, Tribute Games and Dotemu have released the game’s opening movie to keep the hype train a-moving.
Now, for those who have been paying attention to all the character reveals and behind-the-scenes looks in recent months, some of this footage might not be all that new; if, however, you’re coming in with fresh eyes, be prepared for some Saturday morning cartoon nostalgia.

Riding high?
Kirby and his warp star are back in business thanks to Kirby Air Riders, and we imagine a lot of you have been racing through the sky (and the “city”) to unlock absolutely everything this past weekend.

Maybe it’s time to ask Santa for MicroSD Express cards.
Storage-hungry consumers in Japan have been jumping on available stocks of super-fast MicroSD cards as an ongoing memory shortage continues across the computer industry, with no signs of getting better in the immediate future.

Note. At the time of writing, there has been a delay to Forestrike’s planned Switch release date. We didn’t encounter any performance problems during our time with the game, but if you’re looking for it on the eShop, it should be there “in a matter of days.” We’ll let you know when it does go live, but in the meantime…
