    News Nintendo Direct - 6/9/2026

    Nintendo has announced a Nintendo Direct for 6/9/2026 at 10:00 AM EST. Discuss here! I'm hoping to see a Nintendo Switch 2 Edition of Pikmin 4, especially if it adds co-op. Aside from that, some more additions to the Nintendo Classics apps would be cool, especially Super Mario Sunshine to kick...

    News LG releases first 1000hz monitor

    Yeah, I have barely tried out 120hz gaming yet with the Nintendo Switch 2, I definitely am not interested in 1000hz. Cool that it exists for whatever niche purpose someone can find for it though.

    Discussion News It wasn't PlayStation, Switch, PC, or Xbox that dominated my family's gaming this Christmas - it was Netflix, on the TV

    I haven't heard of a single person playing games on Netflix. Game streaming just isn't catching on, with most platforms having low user counts or committing a Stadia (also known as dying). Most parents I hear from say their kids are most into Nintendo, with an occasional PlayStation user popping...

    Discussion News Nintendo Nintendo Switch Online Shadowdrops Another Classic GameCube Title

    I am pretty excited to try Path of Radiance! Always played Ike in Super Smash Bros. Brawl since Roy wasn't available, so will be pretty cool to get to try Ike's game. On top of that, this game was pretty much a no-go previously if you wanted to play it legally, so making it available as part of...

    Discussion News GameStop Kicks Off 2026 by Closing Hundreds of Stores Across the US

    One of the two in my city is closing, but I never go to that one because it's in an inconvenient location. It actually just opened up within the last 3 or so years, but the rent in that mall is incredibly high, so I understand why they're shutting that one. My favorite one is still open though...

    News PC Valve has discontinued the Steam Deck LCD

    Yeah, OLED is definitely a huge step up over LCD, but LCD is definitely passable for a low price point. For Switch 2, the LCD screen is pretty lackluster, but it works well enough for most people.

    Discussion Console or PC Gamer — Which One Are You and Why?

    Mostly a console gamer, mainly on Nintendo systems and a bit of Xbox 360. While I used to do more PC gaming, I never enjoyed playing games I could be playing on console through a PC. My PC gaming mainly consists of MMOs like Toontown Rewritten and Old School RuneScape. I would say 90% of my...

    Discussion Do You Think Virtual Reality Gaming Is the Future?

    I don't think VR, at least in the way we currently envision it, will ever become "the future of gaming". People just want to sit down and play a video game without having to turn their living room into a theme park attraction. While VR can be a fun addition to one's gaming experience, it will...

    News The Game Awards 2025 Announcements

    Orbitals looks cool, plus its exclusive to Switch 2, which is pretty cool. I like the art style/character designs and think the gameplay looks fun. Aside from that, not much stood out to me from the VGAs, maybe the new Mega Man and Tomb Raider but nothing else.

    Discussion Do you preorder games or wait to purchase them after they've been out for a while?

    One benefit on Switch for waiting a while to pick up a physical game is that Nintendo does cartridge revisions over time, so later prints of Switch Game Cards can sometimes have the downloadable updates on them, making them better for preservation. This website actually keeps track of these...

    Discussion Do you prefer detailed plans or going with the flow?

    I am definitely a detailed plans kind of person. My friends see me as the leader of our team and rely on me to make our plans and be able to tackle challenges/changes on the fly. Having a good base plan with A/B options is generally how I roll, being able to make adjustments, and yes perhaps go...

    Discussion News Xbox x Crocs: November 25th

    Wow, these will probably sell better than Xbox consoles at this point.

    News First Reported Black Ops 7 Regional Sales Numbers Are Unimpressive

    It's sad, but Call of Duty seems to be in a bit of a rut right now. I never was a COD player, but I have immense respect for the ones who played back around '09 to '13, back when the series was in its heyday. My cousin was super into COD, I remember him showing it to me back in '10, the online...

    Rumour Rumor: Pokemon Gen 10 Combat System Leaked

    Pokemon Legends ZA showed that The Pokemon Company had learned some lessons from the debacle with Scarlet & Violet, so I am excited to see where they go on Nintendo Switch 2. I do think the NS2 should give them some more headroom for graphical and performance quality, as Game Freak doesn't seem...
