Meanwhile, 6.5 weeks til Metroid Prime 4, and we've had essentially 2 teaser trailers..

Again, for all the press Nintendo has got for Game Key Cards, that's exactly what this is, and it's been going on way longer. It doesn't matter if 0.1% or 99.9% is on the disc/cart, you don't have all of it.

Well maybe it's because I haven't played a Pokemon since Gen 1, but I'm really enjoying Legends Z-A. The world is contained so I don't get lost, the battles are cool, and the visuals (I'm on Switch 2) are great.

Dear Nintendo, please can you update all the Pikmin games with mouse controls for Switch 2 pls. It's right there. Pls.

That feeling when you accidentally have two different LoFi Girl streams playing at once because you keep opening windows and leaving them on different screens and its friday and braaaaaiiinnnss gone

Thought I would test out what it’s like buying “popular plastic brick manufacturer” replacement from China. It looks a lot like I bought a couple of k’s of coke.

Pretty random couple of Wii pickups this week - Golf Trainer because I was just curious and Wicked Monsters Blast because it’s a light gun game that seems to be using Namco art and sfx without being a Namco game..

Just your regular reminder that if your product can't exist without operating legally and ethically, your product shouldn't exist.

Has anyone played Trackmania on Wii? I hadn’t until right now and it’s great! The beauty of the Trackmania formula with 4 player local split screen. Love it.

My 6yr son just woke up and immediately said “daddy can we get the space marines out again?” Yes son. YES SON.

Just finished World 2 of Mario Galaxy 2 - early thoughts: -anyone thinking this is a “lazy port” is wrong. It’s solid, beautiful and just as much fun as it was on the Wii -controlling Yoshi in handheld is a pain - you either use touchscreen and the joystick (which can result in some gymnastics) or

Great end to the year for Nintendo - I have all but Hyrule Warriors preordered.

It’s everything I hoped it’d be. Mario Galaxy was my Covid game that got me through, and 2 is proving to be just as joyous. Merry weekend everyone ❤️

Have been invited to playtest a board game in development but I find virtual play testing to be a bit soulless so OBVIOUSLY I have bought craft stuff and will be spending my free time this weekend making a physical version much to the bemusement of the designer 😁

Just me sitting here with a smug look as I justify to myself why taking the day off to play Mario Galaxy 2 wouldn't have been a good idea. Don't worry though, the toothpaste I ordered at the same time arrived this morning 😐

I really REALLY hate this

😩

Can't wait to play Galaxy 2 - never finished it, definitely will this time. Probably.

This has been a great series so far and fascinated to see how they pivoted to Indy. Noclip eves are my fav eves :)

Aww yeah DK Bananza pin acquired

I’m 5 minutes into my sons 6th birthday party and I already want to scream. This might be it for me folks. Been a good run.

Have spent the weekend with EA FC 26 Ultimate Team and wooow I don’t think it’s made for me 😂 just an incredible number of menus and options and currencies (and I’m used to F2P). I just have no idea if I’m doing the right things, in the right order, or the most optimal way. Glad I tried it tho!

The Social Network is my favourite movie - perfect blend of Fincher’s direction and Sorkin’s script. Slightly worried with only Sorkin back it won’t be as punchy as the original, but still very pumped to see it.

Got excited and shouted “NEW FIFA BABY” at work when it arrived, but a colleague thought I said “NEW FEET FOR MY BABY” Not a conversation I expected to have.

Amazon really testing my patience for the Metroid Prime 4 preorder pricing! Switch 2 still more than £20 above RRP (and all other online retailers) even though they dropped the Switch 1 version earlier this week to nearly half the Switch 2!

❤️

Actually excited to have preordered a Pokémon… youtube.com/watch?v=Sero...

My beautiful team out in the wild ❤️ And Mike.

If I haven't made myself clear enough, fuck trump. The fact we have to have our health service come out and clarify this is insane. Fuck. Trump.

For all you LinkedIn Users The GenAI setting is turn on as default. www.linkedin.com/mypreference...

We have openings across both @totalwar.bsky.social and the Alien: Isolation sequel. Take a look and apply below! ➡️ www.creative-assembly.com/careers ‬

You do tho Amazon. You do. It's December 4th.

This is a great documentary and the physical is well worth picking up

CA Graphics Programmer, Sharjeel Qaiser presented his paper "Efficient GPU-Based Real-Time Rendering of Curved Geometry for Large-Scale Applications" at CGVC 2025. The paper presents advancements presents advancements in Total War's VFX tech. You can read it here: diglib.eg.org/items/15e31d...

Metroid Prime 4 Switch 1 £50 Metroid Prime 4 Switch 2 £59 Metroid Prime 4 Switch 2 upgrade pack £8 So I could buy Switch 1 plus the upgrade for £1 less than buying the Switch 2 version..

Feel like I’m increasingly becoming the Roy Kent of game dev

So uh Amazon, Nintendo announced/set release dates for a bunch of things on Friday that I'd love to order from you except.. you don't have listings for any of them?

I’m sorry gamer community, I’ve finally cracked. I got excited about the new EAFC and preordered it.

I love it when Nintendo announce stuff like this, with less than a month to release, and I head straight to Amazon to preorder who are just:

Also: maybe Silksong isn’t for you. That’s ok. It wasn’t for me either. I’m really pleased so many people are loving it. I just learned a while ago not to struggle with games that don’t click with you. Games are meant to be fun but fun is a very personal thing.

Merry Nintendo direct eve everyone. Enjoy whatever traditions you observe x

Me trying to use my phone first thing in the morning: 🥱 iOS face recognition:

Felt like some Kirby’s Rainbow Paintbrush. Definitely needs porting. Such a gorgeous art style and a nice chill Kirby
