“I feel like as long as there are passionate players, it will be hard to let it go.” I recently spoke with Dinkum creator James Bendon about the game’s journey, community support, and the age-old debate of Pluto Pups Vs Dagwood Dogs. www.whatsitlike.com.au/interview-wi...

Just a friendly quarterly reminder that www.whatsitlike.com.au has even more Nintendo news that doesn't make it to YouTube and is ad-free, subscription-free, and pop-up free!

I’ve been flat out like a lizard drinkin’ catching up with the Switch 2 version of Dinkum From crocs and cassowaries to meat pies and Vegemite sandwiches, this cosy outback sandbox is packed with Australiana. But is it a true-blue hit? www.whatsitlike.com.au/dinkum-switc...

Civilization VII’s massive Test of Time update is out now, and it might just convince those put off by the initial changes to have one more turn. The free update completely reworks core systems, including victories, progression, and civilizations. www.whatsitlike.com.au/civilization...

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle on Switch 2 might be one of the most impressive technical achievements we’ve seen on Nintendo hardware so far. Let's see how they did it: www.whatsitlike.com.au/indiana-jone...

A free demo for The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales is out now on Nintendo Switch 2. Jump into Philabieldia early, and carry your progress into the full game when it launches June 18. www.whatsitlike.com.au/the-adventur...

Cyclops and The Thing have joined MARVEL Cosmic Invasion in the game’s first DLC update, as more than 1.5 million players jump into the fight against Annihilus. www.whatsitlike.com.au/marvel-cosmi...

As a game, Indiana Jones & the Great Circle is a lovingly crafted tribute that proudly stands alongside the original trilogy of films. As a technical achievement, it also sets a new benchmark for what we thought was possible on Nintendo Switch 2 hardware. www.whatsitlike.com.au/indiana-jone...

By somehow turning a pokies machine into a strategic roguelite, Slots & Daggers manages to feel completely fresh in an overcrowded genre. www.whatsitlike.com.au/slots-and-da...

If you have a bunch of friends looking for a new adventure, or simply want to explore the great unknown on the back of a grasshopper, Smalland Survive the Wilds is well worth braving the wilderness for. www.whatsitlike.com.au/smalland-sur...

With a visual overhaul and a targeted 60fps performance, Overwatch on Switch 2 is a fantastic hero shooter that showcases exactly why this game has lasted a decade. And as heroes never die, it still feels like there is plenty of life left in it yet. www.whatsitlike.com.au/overwatch-sw...

It ain’t much, but it’s honest work... GIANTS Software brings mod support to Farming Simulator: Signature Edition on Nintendo Switch 2, giving players even more ways to customise their farm life. www.whatsitlike.com.au/farming-simu...

Running a record store can be tricky, especially when the customer is always right, but has absolutely no idea what they want. Wax Heads is out now on Nintendo Switch, delivering a punk indie puzzler packed with immaculate vibes. www.whatsitlike.com.au/wax-heads-sw...

Mixtape is a short nostalgia trip about growing up & looking back at who we used to be. It’s light on gameplay, & some dialogue can feel somewhat pretentious, but it still manages to tell an emotional story about friendship, music, and letting go. www.whatsitlike.com.au/mixtape-swit...

Nintendo Australia has confirmed a Switch 2 price increase from 1 Sept 2026. The console will move from AU$699.95 to AU$769.95. Nintendo says the change is due to ongoing market conditions, with pricing for the original Switch unchanged. www.whatsitlike.com.au/nintendo-swi...

Alien: Rogue Incursion shadow dropped on Nintendo Switch 2, bringing pulse rifles, motion trackers, and plenty of Xenomorphs. While the atmosphere starts strong, technical issues and repetitive encounters stop it from reaching its full potential. www.whatsitlike.com.au/alien-rogue-...

Civilization VII’s Test of Time Update arrives May 19 as a free update, letting players stay as a single civilisation across Ages and overhauling both Victories and the new Triumphs system. A major shake-up for Firaxis’ latest entry. www.whatsitlike.com.au/civilization...

Star Fox barrel rolls onto Nintendo Switch 2 on June 25th, bringing players back to the Lylat Wars with a full reimagining of the Nintendo 64 classic. www.whatsitlike.com.au/starfox-barr...

We’re back on the track, revving up for MotoGP 26 on Switch 2. Deeper career mode, intense racing, and plenty of ways to play… but does it make a podium finish, or crash out before the final lap? www.whatsitlike.com.au/motogp-26-sw...

Drill Core should be a perfect mix of roguelite and tower defence, but technical issues on Switch have it hitting rock bottom instead of striking gold. www.whatsitlike.com.au/drill-core-s...

Tomodachi Life is a game full of laughs, and I think that’s something I really needed right now. It reminded me that games (and life) can just be silly, fun, and a little random. www.whatsitlike.com.au/tomodachi-li...

Vampire Crawlers is a fantastic spin-off worthy of the franchise For returning fans with high expectations, it will exceed them. For newcomers, there’s an addictive gameplay loop that keeps you coming back for more as Crawlers slowly reveals its secrets. www.whatsitlike.com.au/vampire-craw...

Beyond Words took me right back to the peak Words With Friends era… except this time, no friends required, and thankfully, no one is holding your game hostage unless you join their Tupperware team. Yes… that actually happened. www.whatsitlike.com.au/beyond-words...

Can we take this offline for a tick so I can let you know I'll be making a cameo in the ANZ Indie Showcase? I'll be introducing Middle Management, a satirical corporate management game. Tune in to @theindiebrew.com.au @ www.youtube.com/@theindiebrew May 8th - 7.30 pm AEST

Final Fantasy XIV is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 this August. No Switch Online required, but subscription setup gets messy if you are already playing elsewhere. I’ve spent many hours crafting in Limsa Lominsa, and I cannot wait to take it on the go. www.whatsitlike.com.au/final-fantas...

Two Point Museum is already one of my most-played Switch 2 games, so this is an easy yes from me. The new Arty-Facts DLC adds creative exhibits, interactive displays, and the ability to craft your own original art pieces. www.whatsitlike.com.au/two-point-mu...

Splatoon Raiders drops July 23, bringing a fresh single-player focus to the series. www.whatsitlike.com.au/splatoon-rai...

I got a nose for reviews, but usually the games find me first. Mouse PI for Hire slid onto my SD card like trouble in heels. The case isn’t perfect, and neither is the city. But in this line of work, you don’t always get clean endings. Just good stories. www.whatsitlike.com.au/mouse-pi-for...

Mario Wonder on Switch 2 is still wonderful. The upgrade? Great with friends, less so solo. www.whatsitlike.com.au/super-mario-...

After a rough launch, Blizzard moved quickly. Tanks held the line on the forums, DPS flagged the issues, and supports kept things together while the fix rolled out. Overwatch on Switch 2 finally feels like it should. www.whatsitlike.com.au/overwatch-sw...

Kairosoft makes its Nintendo Switch 2 debut with Demon Castle Story, a charming and addictive management sim that lets you build the ultimate castle for evil. Is this wickedly fun adventure worth your time? www.whatsitlike.com.au/demon-castle...

Overwatch on Switch 2 isn’t the amazing overhaul some players were hoping for, but it’s not all bad either. Heroes never die, and Blizzard is already working on a fix. www.whatsitlike.com.au/overwatch-on...

Civilization VII launched with some polarising choices. A year later, after countless updates from Firaxis, I jumped back in for a 14-hour marathon session. So… is it fixed? www.whatsitlike.com.au/is-civilizat...

Pilgor is back on Nintendo Switch 2! Goat Simulator 3 promises improved visuals, smoother performance, and chaotic split-screen fun, but is it enough to redeem its troubled Switch debut? Find out in our full review. www.whatsitlike.com.au/goat-simulat...

Kena’s journey is as beautiful as it is emotional. From stunning Pixar-like visuals to heartfelt storytelling, Kena: Bridge of Spirits on Nintendo Switch 2 is an adventure that lingers long after the credits roll. Read the full review: www.whatsitlike.com.au/kena-bridge-...

A good player will pummel their opponent. A great player will work the crowd. WWE 2K26 on Nintendo Switch 2 nails that balance, backed by a huge amount of content and some brilliant community creations. Full review: www.whatsitlike.com.au/wwe-2k26-swi...

Hey Ditto! I’ve put together a full Pokémon Pokopia guide hub on our ad-free website, covering all the major areas and quests. I’ve worked pretty hard on this one, so check it out and let me know if there’s a guide you want to see next! www.whatsitlike.com.au/pokopia/

Mastered your history degree? Time to switch it up with some zoology in Two Point Museum: Zooseum on Switch 2! New animals, outdoor habitats, and Farflung expeditions await. www.whatsitlike.com.au/two-point-mu...

What’s next for Fur Squadron Phoenix? I asked creator Pedro Silva about the future of the series, long-term plans, and his advice for aspiring game developers. www.whatsitlike.com.au/interview-pe...

The Yakuza series continues on Nintendo Switch 2 with Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties, as Kiryu can’t escape his violent past. Does it punch above its weight? Our review: www.whatsitlike.com.au/yakuza-kiwam...

Caves of Qud will not be for everyone, and in my first few hours I thought it might not be for me either. But for players who love weird and wonderful games where every mistake becomes a story, Caves of Qud is waiting for you. www.whatsitlike.com.au/caves-of-qud...
