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)

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!

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!

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!

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!

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.

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.
