Rainbow Billy: The Curse of the Leviathan physical

A physical version of Rainbow Billy: The Curse of the Leviathan is planned, according to retailer listings. Places such as GameStop have it down for May 31, 2022. That could be a tentative date, but the main takeaway here is that the title will have a general launch at retailers.

Rainbow Billy: The Curse of the Leviathan has thus far been digital-only on Switch. Since its debut back in October, it’s only been offered via the eShop.

Squish delayed

Squish, an upcoming co-op party game for Switch, has been delayed.

The title was recently given a May 31 release date by publisher PM Studios and developer Grave Rave Games. Now, however, it will be releasing on June 28.

xenoblade spoiler discussion

Here we are again talking about Xenoblade Chronicles – this time with something a little bit different. Instead of the usual ten-minute video we usually share on Sunday, this is more of a discussion. I’ve had a desire to talk more in-depth about the franchise because there’s so much to discuss about these complex games.

To help me on this task, our reporter Nicolas joined me in an hour-long Xenoblade discussion where we talk about our experiences with the series, specific plot points and what we expect from the future third game in the franchise.

Nintendo Switch Sports review

System: Switch
Release date: April 29, 2022
Developer: Nintendo
Publisher: Nintendo


If, like me, you grew up when the Wii was current, you no doubt put some time in on Wii Sports. Packed in with each new console here in the west, the title was a lot of players’ first introduction to the console’s motion controls, as well as their first time being able to engage with family members who wouldn’t usually think of playing video games. Wii Sports itself became a system-seller and its popularity is still raging to this day, with many homes still dusting off their Wii for play sessions at family gatherings to entertain kids and adults alike. Now with Switch’s success, a new entry in the series has arrived – but will it reach the acclaim of its predecessors?
