I had no idea what Dinkum was until the Direct. But thanks to this sponsored spot, I've actually found it to be quite the enjoyable survival game with a dash of Dragon Quest Builders. Plus I got to work on this with @belleaim.com and that's always a good time! youtu.be/Asna_CfafeM?...

Look, if you had told any SEGA or Nintendo kid in the 90s that this would happen someday, their heads would have exploded on the playground.
For those who were around to see it happen, I know you get it.

What are the Top 10 Games on the Switch 2 so far? It's a good barometer test this early on in the life cycle. And besides, this is the only real chance to have a Nintendo Top 10 NOT dominated by Nintendo. Join me, @jon.gvg.io, and @ash.gvg.io as we discuss the results! youtu.be/Z2FwUNa7udk?...

This is the best news of the day. I’m so happy to know Doctor Who is coming back!
Disney money and accessibility on D+ was nice, but I’ll find a way to watch!

I love No More Heroes on Wii and it runs poorly.
There’s a weird narrative in modern gaming that games must he visually stunning and performant to be good, but most people’s top 10 games include at least one game that didn’t run well.

Anytime someone calls a t-shirt art it’s got something like a picture of Danny Devito riding a dolphin and smoking a cigar on it.

Zion is the best and he’s going to absolutely crush it wherever he goes next!
After nearly 7 years working with the team at Nintendo Life, I'm stepping away to try something new ✨
I'll miss my colleagues, this community, and the freedom that Nintendo Life gave me to cover whatever I found important. It's truly been a dream come true, so thank you ♥

As a video production geek I find this so fascinating!
It's probably a lil navel gazey but I love seeing how the graphics I made end up getting used. The GS review of Yotei is probably my favourite for this one.
