The latest UK charts are in and it is no surprise who’s sitting at the top spot this week.
We predicted it, you predicted it, of course, this week’s champ is Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on the PS5. Square Enix’s latest managed to beat both EA Sports FC 24 and Hogwarts Legacy this time around (which is no mean feat) and it means that last week’s bronze medalist, Mario vs. Donkey Kong, has been pushed down the ladder once again.

Popping up.
With MAR10 just a few days away, we’re all getting ready to celebrate Nintendo’s mascot — probably by playing Mario games or just indulging in some sales or some merchandise. But prominent Nintendo leaker Pyoro has suggested that we may well be getting some news this year.

Online play can be a real lifesaver if you’re stuck indoors and can’t get to a friend’s house, and not needing to lug a weighty card collection around will do wonders for your posture, too.

Thank you, NX.
We struggle to remember a time that we thought of the Switch as a ‘new’ console. Maybe back in 2021 with the release of the OLED and the pandemic popularity of Animal Crossing? Perhaps. For the most part, everyone is keen to jump on the “god, the Switch is sooo old” bandwagon. The thing is, they are right and boy are we reminded of that today.
That’s because today, 3rd March 2024, marks seven years since the Switch’s release. As you read this, the console is entering its eighth. Seven years. Let’s let that one sink in for a moment.
