Fortune's Weave turns Three Houses upside down. Each route is a flashback, and the final battle is accessible from the start. It feels like a direct response to how many people played multiple routes in 3H. Do you go with 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 champions to face the final boss? (It's Breath of the Wild)
Starting a replay of the best DLC Nintendo's ever done

Nintendo Switch Sports Resort takes us back to my favorite vacation destination for a new era of motion-controlled sports action, and I was so happy to be back. During a demo at San Diego Comic Con, I...

Splatoon Raiders is a system seller for our household. My wife and I bought a Switch 2 last night so we can play the whole campaign together once it's out. Raiders' multiplayer is seamless: individual loot, per-player level scaling, and shared progression. It does everything you'd want it to!
Loving Nintendo's output on Switch 2. An awesome lineup of games that feels very distinct from Switch 1. Here's my updated Top 5:
Splatoon Raiders is one of the hardest Nintendo games in at least the last decade. It lets you try levels *way* above your current level, and it constantly throws skill checks at you. That pushback forces you to tinker with your build to get the most out of it. It is a perfectly paced loop.
Splatoon Raiders is an amazing action RPG. It has fantastic new powers with crazy upgrades, tough battles that force you care about your build, and a huge variety of fun level types. This is the best Splatoon campaign and one of the top Switch 2 games. My review is up now, on @ign.com!
Happy one year anniversary to one of the all-time Nintendo greats

I'm finally sold on Splatoon Raiders. Looks like there is awesome build diversity, good mix of objectives, and lots of gear tinkering that reminds me of Monster Hunter. I wish they'd introduced a new enemy species -- I've fought enough Salmonids for a lifetime -- but otherwise, looks fantastic!
Deltarune Chapter 5 was a blast, and it's ending was not what I was expecting. I decided to write up my thoughts about the chapter and where things seem to be heading to next www.ign.com/articles/del...
Deltarune’s Chapter 5 Has Finally Arrived and Its Not What I Expected at All – but the More I Think About It, the More Brilliant It Becomes
Deltarune Chapter 5 may initially seem like "filler", but dig into its nuanced story beats and you'll find a fantastic, unexpected continuation of Kris and Susie's journey.

Go watch one of my favorite episodes of NVC we've ever recorded!
Star Fox on Switch 2 is easily my favorite entry in the series. It controls like a dream, looks amazing, and proves that 64's levels still largely hold up. This is one of my favorite Switch 2 exclusives now. Check out Jada's great review on IGN!
It is messed up that there are seven 3D Zelda games and only six of them are playable on Switch 2.
Prime 4 on Switch 2 is completely worth it for $39.99. Not a perfect Metroid by any stretch, but still a game I found a lot to love in.
The physical edition of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond for Nintendo Switch is $29.99 at Amazon. The upgrade pack is $9.99 at Nintendo, so even though the Switch 2 physical edition is also on sale, this is the better deal. https://zdcs.link/98728O #ad Switch 2 upgrade for $9.99: https://zdcs.link/zJ7jon
Jada and I played a few matches of Star Fox multiplayer with Nintendo. It was really fun, but my main takeaway is how absolutely hilarious the Game Chat avatars are. Easily the best use of the Switch 2 camera so far, and just so funny to discuss embargo restrictions with PR as Slippy Toad.
How many Zelda reveals do I have left in my life? I wrote about why I'm glad the Ocarina of Time reveal showed us almost nothing. We only get to do this so many times: www.ign.com/articles/im-...

No one will ever be able to convince me that the title of Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave isn't a play on the FOUR playable routes and that it's the followup to THREE Houses just like no one will ever be able to convince me that Tears of the Kingdom isn't a play on the TIERS of the Kingdom you explore.
Nintendo continues screaming as loudly as it can that Bananza is essentially a 3D Mario
