Skull & Co NeoGrip review for Nintendo Switch 2
Posted on 3 weeks ago by Ethan in Reviews, Switch 2 | 0 comments
We’ve got another Nintendo Switch 2 accessory review for you — this time, it’s for the Skull & Co NeoGrip.
A little while back, we published a review for the StandGrip, which is another Switch 2 grip from Skull & Co. That one is definitely the most comfortable in our opinion, but the NeoGrip offers a different range of features for those who prefer other options. For one, the NeoGrip is much lighter, and it’s easier to slide off and on. It keeps the kickstand accessible, unlike the StandGrip, which brings a bit more functionality in case you’re looking for that. Most importantly, however, the NeoGrip is dock-friendly, which means you can keep it attached to the console even in docked mode. That’s an important feature for some players, so if that counts for you too, we definitely recommend considering this grip.

Nintendo explains why Pauline was made young in Donkey Kong Bananza
Posted on 3 weeks ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch 2 | 0 comments
It goes without saying that Donkey Kong is the star of Donkey Kong Bananza, but young Pauline – who’s 13 years old in the title – is pretty important as well. Aside from accompanying Donkey Kong on his journey, she plays a role in the gameplay.
Now thanks to an interview with producer Kenta Motokura and director Kazuya Takahashi, we have some information about why Pauline is in the game. Having a character journey with Donkey Kong was always a part of the plan. Eventually concept art for the zebra transformation was made, it was prototyped, music was made, and that music was turned into a song.

Donkey Kong Bananza was originally a Nintendo Switch 1 game
Posted on 3 weeks ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Donkey Kong Bananza is continuing the trend we’ve been seeing as of late, which is that while it’s coming to Nintendo Switch 2, it was originally planned for Switch 1.
That news comes from Kenta Motokura, the game’s producer. He said that it was always the plan to use voxel tech and consider “lots of different ideas for applications.” However, when Nintendo Switch 2 started to become a reality, the team “realized that the best implementation of these ideas and technology would be on Nintendo Switch 2.”
Director Kazuya Takahashi chimed in on this as well, telling IGN:
