“Maybe I should start calling them chunks?”.

June 5th marked the launch of the Nintendo Switch 2, but that very same day (or the day before on other consoles), the highly anticipated continuation of Deltarune, in Chapters 3 and 4, also hit digital shelves.

If you’ve had the chance to catch our review, you’ll know we fully believe this Undertale “follow-up” is worth the new price of entry too, even if there are three more chapters to go. With big games like Mario Kart World and Cyberpunk 2077 ready and available for play, I’ve instead chose to sink more time into the indie darling that is Deltarune. It’s silly yet simultaneously serious world and characters have their hooks in me and it’s all I find myself thinking about night after night.

“The response far exceeded our expectations”.

Nintendo has today held its 85th Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, during which president Shuntaro Furukawa apologised for not being able to meet initial demand for the Switch 2.

As highlighted by @NStyles on X, a shareholder asked whether there was a specific reason for the shortage of consoles and whether Nintendo had failed to predict the overwhelming response from consumers at launch.

EA’s CEO, Andrew Wilson, has somehow managed to find himself $5 million richer than usual this year, according to the latest Proxy filing by the company.

As reported by Stephen Totilo over at Game File, the extra cash on top of an already very nice annual income, flies directly in the face of how the general population of workers for the company are being renumerated. This is all bad, however it has made for a rather amusingly shaped graph, so silver linings and all that.

Update for Switch and Switch 2 today.

Following the major update for Splatoon 3 earlier this month, which added “game content changes” and much more, Nintendo has now released another update fixing some bugs and other issues.

This latest update bumps the game up to Version 10.0.1 and targets issues with the game’s multiplayer, SplatNet 3 as well as the general game operation. Nintendo also mentions how there was a problem where the title was running “slower than before” and it should now operate like it did in Version 9.3.0.

From the makers of Another Code: Recollection.

From the un-egg-ceptable to the egg-ceptional, as ranked by you.

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the European release of Yoshi’s Woolly World on Wii U, we’ve given this list a big ol’ make-over. Hopefully we’ll see more of the green dinosaur on Switch 2!

Yoshi! The little green dinosaur has been on our screens for a long time now, and while many first got to know him as an expendable resource in Super Mario World that helps Mario get extra height on his jump, he’s much more than that.

Parkour and open worlds to the rescue.

Level-5 has certainly been riding quite the high of late with the release of its very well-received Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time. We gave the game a 9/10 in both its Switch and Switch 2 forms, so we can confirm it’s a bit of a banger.

Now, straight off the back of all this success, Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino has revealed that a huge aspect of the game’s positive reception is actually due to some crucial and very clever changes the dev team started implementing into the adventure just a year ago!

Dead drop.

Dying Light is one of those absolutely huge games that just shouldn’t really work on a Switch. It’s way too big, it’s way too pretty, and it’s way too action-packed. Or at least that’s what we thought, until Techland served us up a solid port of its excellent zombie survival epic that ran just fine on Nintendo’s dinky little machine. The wizards!

Now, however, it seems as though we may not be getting treated to any more magic, for the time-being at least, from this particular Polish dev. Yes, as detailed on Techland’s official blog (thank you, Eurogamer), the Switch version of Dying Light will be skipping the brand new ‘Retouched’ update that’s bringing a bunch of audio and visual slickness to versions on other, more powerful hardware.
