Or not!

Looks like the MK Bundle is gone 😕

A New trailer!

This will sound contradictory as I’m quite excited about the Switch 2, however I didn’t pre-order one. This is because I know I will be buying a switch 2 sooner or later but I’m in no rush to get it at launch, as there’s not much outside of Mario Kart, and as much as I love that series, I can wait. My only concern about not getting one early is that with the recent price increase for the PS5 Pro and the Xbox Series consoles, that maybe the Switch 2 will get a price hike at some point in the next year and I’ll be kicking myself for not getting one early. As for the games, DK and Mario Kart both look amazing. Also I’m interested in how well Fortnite runs on Switch 2, as I play that game on a daily basis on my Switch 1, but it runs less than 30fps and the resolution drops significantly when too much is going on. The game almost looks completely different when I compare my screenshots to the ones my friends take on their consoles or PC.

Its been delayed to May 26th 2026: https://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/article/258aa538o412ok/grand-theft-auto-vi-is-now-coming-may-26-2026

The music from Mario Kart 7 was added to the app. Also, about five days ago, they added the option to extend some music tracks that you couldn’t before I’m very happy to see Stickerbrush symphony and Zoras Domain now have that option.

Yeah, I don’t like that they out-right replaced the original rather than just adding the new one to the list. There a list of all the ones that were altered:

There’s a new firmware update (2.0), adds quite a lot of stuff including Gameshare:

At the Switch 2 Experience in Tokyo over the weekend, they gave people a free magazine: Nintendo Japan have made a free digital version magazine available on their website: https://www.nintendo.com/jp/topics/article/f1ef5869-e060-4ba6-acca-bb7e3f8f6990 For some reason the link only seems to work when I open it in an incognito window, but that might just be an issue with my browser. They seem to suggest an English version is on the way.

WWE uploaded a nice little behind the scenes video for Wrestlemania 41:

Yeah, agree with a lot of what you both wrote. I enjoyed he main event of Night 1 and most of the matches over both nights, however the main event of Night 2:

I also imported my copy of AC, as I was convinced it was never coming to Europe. I had read about it in N64 magazine for a long while and just assumed it was a game that would never come out of Japan because of how different it was to any other game at that time. I remember I looked on eBay to find a US copy and was lucky enough to find a person in the UK who was selling one and it came with a Freeloader disc. The person I brought it from had already started a save file on the memory card that came with the game and rather then start my own town, I thought I would check his town out of curiously before deleting it and making my own, but it seems the previous owner had unlocked every single NES game and basically turned the second villagers home in a little arcade with them all lined up, even the unobtainable games. So I decided I won't delete it and that I would just take over one of the save slots/villagers by deleting them and creating my character and move in to this pre-set village. Barely anything had been done in the village so it was almost like a new save file aside from the NES game house and that became the Town i played in for years. I can't really add anything to the praise this game gotten already from @Cube and @BowserBasher other then to say I just enjoyed playing it so much. I remember printing patterns from AC fansites on our printer so that I could recreate them in my game. I also remember how dedicated to it at the time, having favorite villagers I didn't want to leave and trying to fill up the museum and catch every fish. Also, Camofrog was rude to me once so I sent him a letter with some rubbish attached as a gift lol I was so thankful Nintendo released it outside of Japan at the time because its now one of my favorite game series. And of course, Nintendo must be pretty happy too as its now one of their best selling games. Funny enough I went back to playing the Switch version this week and I seem to be hooked again.
