Silky smooth weekend vibes?

Aloha, amigos, and welcome shorts fans, to another weekend. It’s been a very, very quiet one this week, with no games of note to menti…oh, hold on. Wait. We’ve actually been inundated with bangers. I’m terribly sorry.

Yes, Hollow Knight: Silksong has finally materialised. It’s a real game that you can play right now! In fact, it’s so real that it crashed a bunch of online stores when it dropped, causing both the eShop and Steam to struggle for a prolonged period.

Gotta answer ’em all!

It’s that time of year again folks. We would love to ask you some questions and would greatly appreciate it if you could take the time to respond to our anonymous survey.

A star is born.

Hollow Knight: Silksong, much like its predecessor, is known for featuring quirky voice roles to represent the numerous NPCs you’ll encounter along your journey.

One these roles features a developer with which you might be quite familiar: Eric Barone, A.K.A. ConcernedApe, A.K.A the creator of a little game called Stardew Valley. As spotted by The Verge, Barone’s name can be seen in Silksong’s credits under the ‘Additional Character Voices’ section.

Managing expectations.

After an exceptionally long wait, Hollow Knight: Silksong is out now on the Switch and Switch 2, and perhaps one of the most pleasantly surprising aspects of its launch is its price.

And it’s seemingly got nothing to do with cost.

Star Wars Outlaws, released on 4th September 2025, is the latest in a long line of Switch 2 titles utilising the Game-Key Card physical release.

It’s safe to say that most folks are under the assumption that cost is likely the driving factor behind the use of the Game-Key Card medium, with Nintendo supposedly only offering 64GB cartridges to third-party developers.

The first three movies are free to watch.

Back when Pokémon was taking off in the late ’90s, trainers around the globe were treated to the very first anime movie. It stars Ash, Pikachu and their friends, as well as a Pokémon battle “like never before” featuring Mew and Mewtwo.

If you’ve never got around to watching Pokémon: The First Movie, or just want to revisit it, the official Pokémon TV channel has now uploaded the entire film on YouTube. This will apparently be viewable for a “limited-time” and will be followed by Pokémon: The Movie 2000 and Pokémon 3: The Movie.
