Skull & Co StandGrip review for Nintendo Switch 2
Posted on 1 week ago by Ethan in Reviews, Switch 2 | 0 comments
We’ve got another Nintendo Switch 2 accessory review for you – this time for the Skull & Co StandGrip.
By now, the Savage Raven line of grips for Nintendo Switch 2 is one of the only ones that hasn’t been surrounded by some sort of production controversy. Quite the opposite, actually – generally speaking, it seems both the Neo Grip and the StandGrip have been received positively so far. Today, we’re focusing specifically on the StandGrip, which is available from the Skull & Co website for around $20 right now. Despite appearing like a budget option, the StandGrip is currently my favorite out of the Nintendo Switch 2 grips I’ve tried. I’m someone who almost exclusively plays in handheld mode, and for that purpose the StandGrip works excellently. It might not suit everybody’s play style for reasons we’ll delve into in a moment, but this grip should absolutely be on your radar if you’re looking for a good one.

Tying in with the launch of Nintendo Switch 2, we’ve put together a complete list of games that support GameShare. We’ll be updating this post over time as well.
GameShare is brand new for Nintendo Switch 2. With the feature, select titles allow you to play with others even if they don’t own a copy of the game. Even more interesting, you can share games locally with those that have the original Nintendo Switch. It’s possible to link up with up to three other systems at a time. We’ll also mention that GameShare supports online play with other Nintendo Switch 2 systems.

Here’s how Nintendo could handle Mario Kart World updates
Posted on 1 week ago by Ethan in Features, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Today, we’re discussing Mario Kart World and how Nintendo could add new content to the game, plus the kind of characters and courses we could wind up seeing.
To start, we need to make something clear right away: Mario Kart World is a fantastic game as-is. Is it worth $80 when purchased outside the bundle? That’s up for you to decide, but ultimately Nintendo could further bolster the game with free updates. Think of it this way: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe cost $60 on launch even though it was a port and not an all-new title, and then it received a $25 DLC pack on top of that – which adds up to an $85 price tag (although you can technically borrow the DLC for free with a Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack plan). This is a big assumption, but Nintendo could potentially earn back some good will by releasing free updates. It’s also entirely possible that Nintendo decides to charge for DLC packs – it wouldn’t be a huge surprise if they did, but we feel like Mario Kart World has already received some substantial backlash for its $80 price tag. Adding DLC on top of that wouldn’t make the situation much better.

Split Fiction review for Nintendo Switch 2
Posted on 2 weeks ago by Nicholas Serpa in Reviews, Switch 2 | 0 comments
System: Switch 2
Release date: June 5, 2025
Developer: Hazelight Studios
Publisher: Electronic Arts
Generally, my wife does not play video games very often, as she’s always been more keen to cozy up with a good book and warm cup of tea during her free time. There are exceptions, of course – she did complete two 70+ hour playthrough of Hogwarts Legacy, to her credit – but for the most part, she simply hasn’t found many games that have piqued her interest. The only major exception to that trend is when a new game from Hazelight Studios comes out. She and I had a blast playing the studio’s previous two titles, A Way Out and It Takes Two, on the couch together over the past several years, and from time to time she would ask me if there was a sequel or something similar to those games that we could play. Needless to say, I was excited to learn that the studio’s next game, Split Fiction, would be a launch game for the Nintendo Switch 2, and was eager to put their latest genre-mashing, reality-shifting co-op adventure through its paces.
