Cherry picking.

Well look who finally showed up! Microsoft has today announced that Hollow Knight: Silksong (yes, the Hollow Knight: Silksong) will be making an appearance at Gamescom 2025 in a new playable demo.

In a new Xbox Wire blog post, the company confirmed that Silksong will be one of the titles coming to the Xbox booth for the duration of the event (20th-24th August). This will be playable both on PC and on the ROG Xbox Ally X — the company’s upcoming entry to the wonderful world of handheld gaming.

Docky Kong.

If you’re anything like us, your Switch 2 has likely become a Donkey Kong Bananza machine for the past two weeks. We mean that in a figurative sense, of course — it’s the game that has dominated most of our time of late — but some arty fans have taken it much more literally.

Take Reddit user freakintoddles, for example, who recently took to the r/NintendoSwitch forum to share their latest creation: a Switch 2 dock cover modelled on DK’s iconic barrels. It looks bananas in the best possible way and, what’s more, its creator has even shared how you can make one yourself… if you have a 3D printer to hand.

Welcome back to the Brawl, my friends!

Last week, North America and Europe duked it out over Weaponlord on the Super NES, with NA giving their EU PALs a good wholloping and taking home 85% of the vote.

Just don’t mix-and-match.

Ever since Nintendo introduced motion control with its Wii console, we’ve had to contend with bolt-on plastic accessories getting in the way of perfectly good Mario Kart multiplayer sessions.

The iconic Wii Wheel, while a novelty, was widely regarded by seasoned players as the worst way to control the game – and while I fear I may be upsetting some people with this statement, the same was generally true of the original Switch Joy-Con wheel, which launched alongside the console and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe back in 2017.

Multiple ratings have already been spotted.

Switch was treated to multiple SpongeBob games during its prime, and it looks like a new game in the popular Nickelodeon series could now be on its way to Switch 2.

The title SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans of the Tide was rated in South Korea and Germany recently. Adding to this, Dealabs and Billbil-Kun report it’s coming to multiple current-generation platforms including the Switch 2, and it’s expected to surface this November.

I’m gonna wreck it.

Here we are once more at the end of July. DK arrived on Switch 2 over a week ago and it seems that most people are absolutely loving Bananza – most, but not all, unfortunately!

Nearly 1 in 10 players responding in our poll say they’re getting sick when playing the game. The exact cause is up for debate, with the camera’s ‘following’ behaviour and the game’s smashable terrain being likely culprits upsetting a sizeable minority of DK fans. That doesn’t seem to have hurt sales of the game, mind, even if Kong can’t quite compete with launch game Mario Kart World.

The upcoming Zelda-inspired 3D action-adventure game The Knightling will be launching this August on multiple platforms, but the Switch version of the game has been axed.

In an update earlier today, developer Twirlbound announced the game had “gone gold” ahead of the August release window for PC, PlayStation and Xbox, but also revealed it would “no longer” be releasing on Nintendo’s Switch.
