Right, I’ve got a lot to say about Switch 2 and its games. Expect a metric shitload of coverage in the coming weeks, from hands-on coverage of 10+ games to opinion pieces on the hardware and other things here and there. Vlog for the Patreon folk too ❤️ https://t.co/FxZNO6T7I4

They better do these events again. This is a really cool crossover event but it ends the day before Sonic Rumble is actually released globally, meaning players not in soft-launch countries won’t get it

Sonic Rumble @Sonic_Rumble

No time for monkey business! 🐵🍌 Your favorite characters from Super Monkey Ball, Altered Beast, and Fantasy Zone are joining the fray in the ultimate SEGA Stars x Sonic Rumble Crossover Event, In game now! https://t.co/n2CjU5Vt4I

That’s yer Mega Drive & Master System Picross rinsed https://t.co/AMuPpjDcPj

Right, I’m bored of hearing what all these amateurs have to say. On my way to London to see Switch 2 for myself, so you’ll all know whether it’s worth getting. You’re all welcome, and I promise that thanks really aren’t necessary, honestly https://t.co/TIuWi103lq

I don't really think it's like-for-like because Welcome Tour certainly isn't a system seller, but either way Nintendo won't be chuffed about this

VGC @VGC_News

Former Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aimé has seemingly made a subtle comment on Nintendo's decision not to include Welcome Tour with Switch 2 for free, by highlighting the success of Wii Sports. https://t.co/sPhaB9qfbF https://t.co/6McQuDlsyt

Well that's good news, thankfully

Following conflicting reports, Nintendo has clarified the situation regarding Switch 2 Edition games and what exactly players get on the cartridge. https://t.co/VxKkZylUFq https://t.co/wgFDe8ybWF

Not to court controversy, but I sort of wish the single-driver version had happened instead. (Also that Daisy hadn't been in it, but that's by the by)

VGC @VGC_News

Mario Kart: Double Dash's two-driver mechanic almost didn't happen, according to a recently translated archive interview. A single-driver version of the game was secretly being developed in tandem. https://t.co/fS0OXVArs9 https://t.co/tq3UrpQxCn

Given that Nintendo will be almost entirely focused on Switch 2 going forwards, and given that the original Switch won't be getting the GameCube games, I can see Wind Waker HD coming to Switch (and Twilight Princess eventually), meaning Switch 2 players can buy HD if they want

VGC @VGC_News

A Nintendo exec has said that just because the GameCube version of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker is coming to Switch 2, that doesn't mean a port of The Wind Waker HD is now off the table. https://t.co/RAeJaDWo0O https://t.co/QgccSOMBHI

First Play is back today! In case you were starting to worry that the series was getting a bit ad-like because I was enjoying everything I played, this should hopefully put paid to those fears. Also threw me off-guard with some really dodgy content it didn't warn about

VGC @VGC_News

First Play - Watch us play Detective: The Test, a surprisingly dark crime scene investigation game. Content warning: references to child abuse. https://t.co/WsaeNMeFhE An extended, ad-free version is available on our Patreon channel.

Urgh, how many fingers does this monkey's paw have

Nintendo Switch 2's adorable Piranha Plant Camera has a worse resolution than the standard Switch 2 Camera. https://t.co/qJV8ZScUOd https://t.co/vf8LmpeNYg

Nintendo of America's Bill Trinen has defended the decision to make Switch 2 Welcome Tour a paid download, saying $9.99 is "not an exorbitant price" given the "amount of care and work that the team put into it". https://t.co/w0eBJmfrIx https://t.co/k6qVmVzNk9

Yer man Scullion is covering BitSummit again this year and this time yer woman Scullion and yer wee girl Scullion are coming with me (though they’re just going to explore Kyoto while I’m at the event). Cue excitement mixed with “oh shit we need to book lots of things”

Work on games room continues. Now got all my Smash Bros amiibo on three rows, arranged in order by the number they’re assigned in the game. https://t.co/XfdcFgc7Sv

Genuine ad on a podcast: “The longest successful points kick in international rugby was 70 yards, 8 1/2 inches. That’s nothing. The new VW ID Tourer has a range of up to 424 miles: that’s 746,240 yards.” Is “our electric car can go farther than a kicked ball” a selling point?

He's not doing a great job with Spurs just now but football aside, he's spot on here

"Why are you holding up a phone? So you can put it on social media and say, 'I got Ange Postecoglou to react!'" 😠 The Spurs boss calls out fans for 'bullying' by using mobile phones 😤 Great exchange with @TomBarclay_ 👏 https://t.co/cCtDbi06Gw

A Babymetal x Poppy crossover wasn’t on my bingo card but I’ll certainly take it. Wish Poppy’s vocals matched her performance in the video though https://t.co/pRkjD7T52W
