Star Wars Outlaws review for Nintendo Switch 2
Posted on 3 months ago by Nicholas Serpa in Reviews, Switch 2 | 0 comments
System: Switch 2
Release date: September 4, 2025
Developer: Massive Entertainment
Publisher: Ubisoft
Star Wars Outlaws may not have met Ubisoft’s sales expectations when it first released on other platforms last year, but for many fans of the franchise, it’s a dream game all the same. There are plenty of titles based on the IP where you can play as a lightsaber-wielding hero, but Outlaws pursues a different goal: making the player feel like a bounty hunter in a seedy, unsafe part of the Galaxy where trust comes at a premium and everyone wants to kill you. It’s also a very ambitious game for a device like Switch 2, so I was excited to see how the game would play on Nintendo’s new console after a year’s worth of updates and new content.

Donkey Kong Bananza: DK Island & Emerald Rush DLC review
Posted on 3 months ago by Ethan in Reviews, Switch 2 | 0 comments
System: Switch 2
Release date: September 12, 2025
Developer: Nintendo
Publisher: Nintendo
All things considered, it seems safe to say that fans don’t appreciate Nintendo’s price antics lately. The recent Nintendo Direct confirmed the most expensive amiibo of all time, a $70 Super Mario Galaxy collection, and now a $20 Donkey Kong Bananza DLC two months after launch. That’s not inherently a problem – Bananza was in development for quite some time, given that it started out as a Switch 1 game. That said, the Nintendo Direct doesn’t do a very good job of telling you what the DLC actually is. From the previews, you would think DK Island is Donkey Kong Bananza’s version of the Mushroom Kingdom. And in many ways, it is – but it doesn’t have any Banandium Gems or fossils, nor any collectibles other than new outfits tied to the titular Emerald Rush mode. In other words, DK Island is essentially a big, pretty set piece – it’s nice to look at and fun to explore for a few minutes, but there’s not really anything of substance within.

Chibi-Robo is one of Nintendo’s most charming classics, and here’s why
Posted on 3 months ago by Ethan in Features, GameCube, Switch 2 | 0 comments
At the time of writing, Chibi-Robo is Nintendo’s latest offering in the GameCube division of Nintendo Switch Online’s emulators. Notably, this is the first time Nintendo has given any significant attention to Chibi-Robo since Zip Lash on 3DS. If you don’t know this already, Zip Lash is commonly attributed to the downfall of the entire series – it was a mediocre 2D platformer on a system with a ton of great 2D platformers, so it didn’t stand out and sold poorly as a result. Skip Ltd., the developers of the Chibi-Robo games, shut their doors soon after.
That’s why it feels important to look at the original Chibi-Robo now more than ever. It’s a very unique and charming little game, and it’s very much unlike most classic Nintendo franchises – it’s probably most similar to Pikmin, if I had to make a comparison. Regardless, today we’re talking all about the original Chibi-Robo, which you can now play via Nintendo Switch Online – but only if you have a Switch 2 and the Expansion Pack membership.
