Revisiting the four “worst” Kirby games
Posted on 1 week ago by Ethan in 3DS, 3DS eShop, Features, Switch, Switch eShop | 0 comments
If you’re deep into the Nintendo discourse sphere online, you might sometimes hear people say “Kirby has no bad games”. And to an extent, that’s definitely true – Kirby’s highs and lows aren’t as far apart compared to other Nintendo franchises. But is it really true that Kirby doesn’t have any bad games? A “bad game” could mean something different depending on who you talk to. It could mean that the game isn’t fun to play, or it could mean that the game is poor by Kirby standards, but not terrible objectively.
Regardless, today we’re looking at some of the less-loved entries in the Kirby series to see how they hold up today. One thing is true: Kirby doesn’t have any bad main series games. Even Kirby Star Allies, which is regarded as one of the weaker recent titles, isn’t bad – it’s inoffensive at worst. In other words, the Kirby games we’re talking about today aren’t main series games, but the smaller ones that tend to fly under the radar.

Although it probably won’t come as a surprise to many, Switch 1 won’t be compatible with the new dock Nintendo is making for Switch 2.
Nintendo posted that information this week. The company confirms that no model of the original Switch works. You cannot use a standard Nintendo Switch, Switch Lite, or Switch OLED with the Switch 2 dock.
[Let’s Talk] Did you pre-order Nintendo Switch 2?
Posted on 1 week ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk, Switch 2 | 0 comments
This week we have a simple question – have you pre-ordered Nintendo Switch 2?
Reservations began this week in the United States (and Canada). To say the least, it was an… interesting experience. Best Buy, Target, GameStop, and Walmart all seemed to experience their fair share of issues with each site hammered with traffic and other shenanigans taking place. Based on reports, the best experience may have actually been visiting a local GameStop and pre-ordering there.
Regardless of where you are in the world, are you locked and loaded for Nintendo Switch 2 with a pre-order? Have you reserved any games? Let us know in the comments.

Nintendo on why Switch 2 is launching in June
Posted on 1 week ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Nintendo of America president Doug Bowser has weighed in on the decision to launch Switch 2 in June.
Bowser said that the company isn’t locked into specific time frames to launch gaming products. For June though, it’s not a bad choice given that the summer is starting (with kids starting to finish school for the year). Since Nintendo Switch 2 is portable, you can take it anywhere – which works well for a vacation.
