When you’re stuck at work and all you want to do is go home and play Hades II…

I know it’s not for everyone but I’ve been playing a ton of Emerald Rush in DK Bananza, as a rougelite addict, it’s really clicking with me and I am now convinced all 3D platformers need a mode like this. It’s not perfect, I’m nearing 100% completion and it’s starting to feel grindy, but great time!

Scientists found that playing The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild can spark joy, improve life satisfaction, and help build feelings of skill and mastery. Despite what some may say, video games can be a force for good! www.gamespot.com/articles/new...

Front, side, rear—with the Cutter Copy Ability, you can send out an attack in several different directions. #KirbyAirRiders

The Nintendo 365 section of the Nintendo Today app is pretty cool. It gives a nice daily recap of Nintendo's history. I'm enjoying this new section.

Before he was a Senator, a candidate for President, and our greatest champion in the fight against oligarchy, Bernie Sanders was the four-term Mayor of Burlington, VT. I sat down with Bernie in Astoria to talk about the lessons he learned—and the work ahead.

Happy 70th birthday, Charles Martinet! 🎈🎂

Hey, between you and me - if you do refund Borderlands 4 and "play a different game" please know that Mycopunk is just $15.

Some thoughts on the recent Nintendo direct: -Pray for my wallet -2 of my favorite games ever made are coming to Switch 2 in 4K -The next Mario movie is based on my favorite game of all time. -Less than 2 weeks until Hades II takes over my life -Samus on a motorcycle seems excessive

Animal Crossing released for the Nintendo GameCube 23 years ago today! This is a franchise that means a lot to so many gamers, myself included. If you haven't played the original on GameCube, it's still a great game that you can enjoy today. What's YOUR favorite Animal Crossing game?

Cool but if there isn’t a spot on the city trial map where I can see the Deedly Dees performing, I will be so sad…

yes

I can't believe I only just noticed this, but the Teal & Pink colour scheme seen throughout Donkey Kong Bananza's UI is actually a reference to the colour palette of the first level from the original Donkey Kong!!

Finished peak Kirby this weekend. I give the new content an 8/10. It’s just more levels but the level design and new mouthful stuff is really fun. The final boss felt tacked on though. I won’t spoil it, but I found it very disappointing for a game that has a ton of great boss fights.

Nintendo confirmed that Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 will receive a 4k update for Switch 2.

Did you know that music tracks from Floria Fields and Waveflow Waters in #KirbyAirRiders are currently available on Nintendo Music? Give 'em a listen here: ninten.do/6019sYEml

Happy National Video Game Day. Video games literally got me through my childhood. An AuDHD kid with an evangelical upbringing, lonely days, few friends, and a lot of "I don't belong here" in my head. Video games gave me escapism and some control that I never really had. Forever grateful.💜

technically Silksong boss nerfs are actually just bug fixes

Hey! I assume if you follow me here, you are a fan of the channel. Made an update on the YT community tab regarding the channel's future financially. I am not in trouble or anything, but there are things beginning to worry me about YouTube and my future on it. youtube.com/post/UgkxHWA...

Digital Foundry says the Switch 2 port of Star Wars Outlaws is "a ray tracing revelation and an extraordinary Port". It runs at a steady framerate and looks fantastic. Proves that Switch 2 is capable of extraordinary things in the right hands. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlKC...

Nailed it. 🐡

Team Cherry confirmed that the Hollow Knight Silksong upgrade pack from Switch to Switch 2 will be free. The Switch 2 version will have enhanced features compared to the original Switch.

Gust Studio Head Junzo Hosoi says he owns a Switch 2 and loves Donkey Kong Bananza. "I do own a Switch 2! The recently released Donkey Kong Bananza is really fun. I return to a childlike state to destroy and release my stress!" www.nintendolife.com/features/ate...

Been playing Kirby’s switch 2 edition on a brand new play thru and man this game is just pure fucking joy. 60fps is nice but for me, the resolution boost is the bigger selling point. The backgrounds and landscapes look so much better and less fuzzy now, really makes the world come together!

"The Nintendo Switch 2's second month on the market was another explosive one, at least in the U.S., where it surpassed 2 million units sold life-to-date, putting it 75% ahead of the unit sales pace set by the Nintendo Switch 1."

Mario, you forgot to pay your taxes.

Okay, I snapped the photo as quick as I could, but this HAS to be a Tears of the Kingdom reference right? I'd love to see Nintendo do more references across games like this besides Mario Kart.

I don’t think Nintendo is perfect by any stretch, but they’re definitely masters at responding to the overall mood. During the pandemic, we got a game about talking to your neighbors and giving them presents and nice letters. Now, we get a giant ape just smashing the shit out of everything.

Do we ever talk about how weirdly human Nintendo’s characters are outside of the weird proportions? Mario has nipples, Luigi’s promo art for Mario Tennis gave him a thicc cock outline, and Pauline canonically fucks.

That was fun! If you're into this kind of thing, check a look. Huge thank you to the @giantbomb.bsky.social community for always being so generous and kind. Love uuuuuuuuu

Jeez, Bananza is already one of the top 20 best-selling games of the year in the U.S. only account for July sales and only taking physical copies into account.
