[Let’s Talk] Games you’ve tried with Nintendo Switch 2’s new Handheld Mode Boost
Posted on 2 weeks ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
This week, Nintendo Switch 2 received what was its biggest system update so far. There was a good amount added and improved, but the most significant feature was the inclusion of Handheld Mode Boost. When turned on, it forces Nintendo Switch 1 games to be played as if they were docked when playing portably. If you’re primarily a handheld player, this is a significant feature as it can give you a better image on-screen.
Have you gotten around to trying out the Handheld Mode Boost on Nintendo Switch 2? Which games have you tested? Let us know in the comments.

[Let’s Talk] March 2026 Indie World Showcase reactions
Posted on 4 weeks ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
It’s been a few months since the last Indie World Showcase, but a new presentation just took place this week. Nintendo teamed up with a few smaller developers to show off some future games for Switch 2 and Switch.
Since there have been so many of them at this point, fans pretty much know what to expect from Indie Worlds. There are some cool announcements, but nothing earth shattering – they’re not intended to be Nintendo Directs. That said, we were treated to some noteworthy games on Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch.
The closer was Blue Prince, a game that’s very much welcome on Nintendo platforms after its strong debut last year. That was far from the only interesting title though – we also heard about Minishoot’ Adventures, Blighted, Denshattack, Heave Ho 2, The Midnight Walk, Toem 2, and more. Find the full recap here.
What were your favorite games from the March 2026 Indie World Showcase? Did you pick up any of the shadowdrops? Let us know in the comments.

Posted on 1 month ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
The latest Pokemon Presents just aired yesterday for Pokemon Day, and it brought along the latest wave of news and announcements for the series.
As expected, the show ended with the reveal of Pokemon Winds and Waves. We got our first in-game look and the starters were shown off. Perhaps the biggest piece of news is that the titles are coming out in 2027 – not 2026 – and yes, they’ll only be on Nintendo Switch 2.
Of course, Pokemon Winds and Waves was only one segment of the show. Various updates were shared on Pokemon Champions, Legends-Z-A, and more. Find a recap of everything shown here.
What did you think of the latest Pokemon Presents presentation? How are you feeling about Pokemon Winds / Waves and the starters so far? Let us know in the comments.
[Let’s Talk] Virtual Boy – Nintendo Classics impressions
Posted on 1 month ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
There was a big addition to Nintendo Switch Online this week, which was the Virtual Boy. Many years after the hardware’s original release – arguably the biggest failure in Nintendo’s history – it’s back and you can play select games right now – sort of.
With most classic systems – be it the NES or GameCube – you can play as soon as you download the relevant app. With the Virtual Boy, however, Nintendo has been promoting the purchase of an accessory – either a dedicated option that replicates the original system or a cardboard alternative. This is because the hardware was originally made for stereoscopic 3D.
Have you experienced Virtual Boy – Nintendo Classics yet, or do you not have any interest? If you’ve played the games, what are your impressions? Let us know in the comments.
