I might buy this one since I got a toddler and the new assist mode changes are clutch. Otherwise I also don't want to fork over the Switch 2 tax Nintendo is doing here. The Zelda TOTK was literally a gps app as the selling point 😆
I attended a Nintendo preview event last week and played a TON of stuff coming to Switch 2.

First, after playing Super Mario Bros. Wonder - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Meetup in Bellabel Park, we need to have a talk about Nintendo's annoying Switch 2 Edition strategy:

I’m Already Tired of ‘Nintendo Switch 2 Editions’, and Even New Mario Wonder Content Can’t Change That - IGN
The first-party Nintendo Switch 2 Editions have been wildly inconsistent across their price points, amount of new content, and quality of enhancements, and I’m frankly tired of Nintendo filling out it...

Good morning!

February marks the 10th anniversary of Stardew Valley. I had the great pleasure of speaking to ConcernedApe ahead of the occasion about the last ten years and his plans for the future. It's a nice long one, please enjoy:

"KRATOS HERE WITH NEWS ON AN IMPENDING SYSTEM UPDATE but first this podcast is brought to you by BetterHelp"
Sony has patented the idea of AI-generated podcasts hosted by characters from its games.

The idea would see players getting their own bespoke podcasts on their console, telling them what's new, hosted by the characters of the games they've been playing.

Love this game, honestly got the itch to play it again this month.
Dispatch is without a doubt one of the best games of 2025, and best in class for it's genre. Note this was recorded prior to the censorship drama with Nintendo/Adhoc
so uh... maybe go buy it on Steam or PS5 instead of Switch 🙃

Just remember ALL CAPS when you spell IT'S MARIO TIME
According to Motoi Okamoto, Mini-Game Director for Super Mario 64 DS, Shigeru Miyamoto would start midnight crunch sessions for the game's development by walking into the office and announcing "It's Mario time."

8bitdo arcade controller was on sale the other week but the switches are clicky and 50g force to activate which bothers my hands.

These new Kailh purple glede switches are much lighter at 30g. Not sure I like the shorter travel but let's see.

If gaming can survive shitty asset flips built in Unity it can certainly survive whatever slop investors think AI will generate in genie.
Gaming stocks are dropping today after Google's rollout of Project Genie, an AI tool that lets users create and explore virtual worlds for 60 seconds. This is the result of a market that does not understand how video games are made. Allow me to suggest that the Street read Blood, Sweat, and Pixels

So is this 150% tariffs on us now or did he walk it back Tuesday? I've lost track.

Either way I'm still not buying American strawberries.
If he's willing to throw airlines under the bus like this, then Democratic elected officials have zero reason to cater to big corporations going forward.

Used to visit Florida yearly. Week Trump won 1st term, folks I knew for years completely dropped the veil. Slurs, blaming immigrants for drugs and violence. Shocked how many bigots just came out. Barely gone back since

Family there now say vibe is different, a lot of GOP folks apologizing for Trump
Ilhan Omar: “In the 4 years when Biden was president, my death threats went to almost zero — now they are back up — so there is a clear correlation between his presidency & the political violence that we see & the political danger that a lot of members of Congress & electeds feel across the country”
