MySims Action Bundle and MySims Beacon Bay spotted
Posted on 1 month ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
EA could be readying two more MySims releases in the form of MySims Action Bundle and MySims Beacon Bay.
Both of these were recently spotted on the official EA app. However, neither page had actual information or images. The only things to see were the title, a European rating of PEGI 7, and a 2099 launch date – which is of course a placeholder. It also looks like both pages have since been taken down.

GameCube remasters we want on Nintendo Switch or Switch 2
Posted on 1 month ago by Ethan in Features, GameCube, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
We’re going over a whole bunch of GameCube games we’d love to see ported, remastered, or remade on Nintendo Switch or Switch 2.
It’s well-known that Nintendo has a huge backlog of classic titles available via Switch Online, but one point of contention among fans is that none of those classic games are from the GameCube. Many players who grew up with that console (this writer included) now have extra purchasing power that they didn’t have as kids, and Nintendo is seemingly well aware of this – which is partially why GameCube titles probably aren’t coming to Nintendo Switch Online. On Nintendo Switch alone, we’ve seen many GameCube remasters and just about all of them have been well received. The most notable of these remakes and remasters are Metroid Prime Remastered, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Pikmin 1, and Pikmin 2.
As Nintendo Switch’s life cycle comes to a close (or rather, a continuation with Nintendo’s next hardware), we may see one or two additional GameCube ports to fill up the time. We may even see full-on remakes on Nintendo Switch 2 as major first-party titles. After all, the first few years of Nintendo Switch’s life were full of Wii U ports – we may see something similar (but to a lesser extent) again while studios work on their ambitious new original games.
[Let’s Talk] Your first reaction to Nintendo Switch 2

There’s no doubt that this was a massive week for Nintendo. The company delivered on its promise to announce its next system by the end of March, giving fans a brief look at what to expect.
Extensive leaks pretty much informed us what we’d be getting here. Still, for the first time officially, Nintendo showed off the hardware itself, the new Joy-Con, and a new Mario Kart game. We also received confirmation that the new system will launch in 2025. You can watch the reveal video here and check out the official PR here.
What was your initial reaction to Nintendo Switch 2? What are your thoughts on the system so far? Did the leaks impact things at all for you? Let us know in the comments.
