Every Switch and Switch 2 Game Announced During Summer Game Fest
Summer Game Fest, now in its seventh year, has just wrapped up. The hour long showcase highlighted a bunch of upcoming releases, big and small. Here's a look at all of the games mentioned in the show that I clocked as coming to either the Nintendo Switch or the Switch 2 — let's get to...
Here are the Switch 2 games from the Access-Ability Showcase
In amongst the chaos of Summer Game Fest season (for lack of a better term) I wanted to shine a light on the ongoing efforts of Laura Kate Dale and her Access-Ability Showcase. There's a dizzying amount of presentations hosted during the next week or two, and this one is unique in that it dials...

Nintendo Music gets Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support
Nintendo Music became a touch more useful today, thanks to a notable update that introduces native CarPlay and Android Auto support to the app. This means you can access the music player directly from your car's screen, doing away with the need to fumble about with your phone. Now, I don't know how many folks...
Escape from Alcatraz changes starting procedures for this year's race
The swim start for this race seems chaotic---athletes jump from the San Francisco Belle into San Francisco Bay en masse, and the entire ship is emptied in less than eight minutes. From what I've read, last year's start was more rushed and disorganized than in previous years, which led to an athlete being paralyzed after someone landed directly on his head during the swim start. Needless to say, I've been fairly anxious about this since I signed up for this year's race, so it's encouraging to hear that the organizers are making changes to this year's start procedure. According to this year's athlete guide, there will be three start locations on the ship instead of the usual two, which should space people out more, and race staff will signal athletes to jump only when the landing area is clear. Hopefully these changes are enough to make the start safer for everyone.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is seeing a price rise this September (in Japan the price is going up sooner at the end of May) — so, in an effort to juice hardware sales ahead of that increase, Nintendo today announced a smart 'choose your own' bundle. It's an offer that sees the console offered along...
Nintendo is rebranding its online store
Nintendo announced Monday that it will soon be renaming its online store, going from 'My Nintendo Store', to simply 'Nintendo Store'. At time of writing the change has been announced in several regions, including Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and several European nations. I imagine others will follow, and this will become the new store brand...
Nintendo “sincerely apologize” for global Switch 2 price rise as console nears 20 million units sold
Nintendo reported its latest financial results Friday, sharing that the Nintendo Switch 2 has now sold a total of 19.86 million units worldwide.

Fake Switch 2 cartridges are making it onto Amazon
A Switch 2 owner has had their console damaged after buying what turned out to be a fake, counterfeit game cartridge. In a post shared over on Resetera, the forum user noted that they bought what they assumed to be a 'Like New' copy of Capcom's recent sci-fi hit Pragmata. However, upon receiving their copy...
dBrand made a Joy-Con holder with a hinge
dBrand's new controller accessory, officially named the 'Joy-Lock Controller Holder', looks like a neat solution for those who find the default Joy-Con grip (that Nintendo include bundled with every Switch 2) to be somewhat uncomfortable. Rather than have the Joy-Con controllers positioned at a single parallel angle, this new magnetic holder lets you adjust where...
