List of all Nintendo Switch 2 games with a game-key card release
Posted on 3 hours ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Following the launch of Nintendo Switch 2, we’re putting together a complete list of Nintendo Switch 2 games with a game-key card release.
This is a new approach to physical media, which has seen a mixed reaction. In a way, it’s a hybrid between a true physical release and a download code. Each box comes with a cartridge, but there’s nothing really included. Rather than coming with all content, you’ll need to download the game first. After that you don’t need to connect online, but you need to insert the card each time you play.

These Nintendo games didn’t get DLC, but could have
Posted on 13 hours ago by Ethan Gnau in Features, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
These days, a big majority of games get DLC in some form, whether it’s free or (more often) paid. But with that being said, not every major Nintendo game has its own substantial expansion – some big-name titles that you would expect to have additional content don’t really have any to speak of at all. So today, we’re going over some of Nintendo’s biggest games that never got DLC, and including ideas for what said DLC could have added or changed to each title.
5 things we want to see from a new Star Fox game
Posted on 13 hours ago by Ethan Gnau in Features, Switch 2 | 0 comments
With rumors of a new Star Fox game coming to Nintendo Switch 2 in a matter of months, we’re talking about what we’d like to see.
Advance the canon. That’s about it! In all seriousness, the Star Fox series has been lying dormant for over ten years now. There hasn’t been an all-new Star Fox title since Star Fox Zero on Wii U, but it wasn’t received very well – and, perhaps more frustratingly, it was yet another retelling of the original Star Fox. To that end, the franchise’s biggest problem has been revealed: it keeps telling the same story. The original Star Fox sees the team taking on Andross for the first time. Star Fox 64 also sees the team taking on Andross for the first time, and then Star Fox Zero sees them in the exact same situation. The canon has been at a standstill for twenty years, since Star Fox Command on Nintendo DS. That’s a very, very long time for a series to tell no new stories. We’ll talk about this in more detail soon, but for now, here are some things we’d love to see from a new Star Fox game.

Chucklefish on why Witchbrook has taken a decade to release

Donna Orlowski, the COO of Chucklefish, has explained why Witchbrook has taken so long to release.
Back in 2016, the project was first teased. A year later, it was announced as Spellbrook, and then became Witchbrook in 2018. We’ve essentially seen the last decade fly by, but the game has still yet to debut.
