JSAUX Split Protective Case review for Nintendo Switch 2
Posted on 1 month ago by Ethan in Reviews, Switch 2 | 0 comments
We’ve tested out yet another console grip for Nintendo Switch 2, and this time it’s the JSAUX Split Protective Case. Compared to some of the other options on the market, this case is on the cheaper side – but only in terms of price and not necessarily in terms of design.
From what we’ve seen, the JSAUX grip is one of the more popular ones, alongside the Savage Raven lineup. Unlike the Savage Raven products, however, you can actually remove the Joy-Cons from the Switch 2 console without taking the whole case apart.
Looking at the pros and cons of Mario Kart World, two months later
Posted on 1 month ago by Ethan in Features, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Mario Kart World was the Nintendo Switch 2’s big headlining launch title, and it’s already enjoyed a great deal of financial success so far. Up until now, it’s sold somewhere around 5,630,000 copies – a tremendous number for an all-new console. Things haven’t been smooth sailing for Mario Kart World the whole way through, however – it’s received some criticism and backlash thanks to a couple of odd decisions from Nintendo, and now a good chunk of players have moved on from the game. In other words, Mario Kart World’s “new toy syndrome” has worn off – which has left some players a bit more critical of the game than when it first released.
So today, we’re taking another look at Mario Kart World two months later. How does it hold up? What stands out as its current strengths and weaknesses? We also invite you to share your thoughts with us in the comments down below.

The Drag x Drive: Global Jam online demo is almost here, and just ahead of the event, we’re now hearing that Nintendo is actually giving fans a chance to play against its developers.
That news comes from the Nintendo Today app. In one of the notices, the Big N says that “you might not be able to match their skill level at first – but with enough practice, we’re confident you’ll be speeding around the court and dunking with the best of them”.

July 31: A new graphics comparison video has come in for the newly-revealed Pac-Man World 2 Re-Pac.
Bandai Namco is cooking up a remake of the 3D platformer that first launched over two decades ago. The updated graphics serve as the biggest appeal here, as we see various differences with character models, lighting, and more. Pac-Man World 2 follows the remake of the original Pac-Man World Re-Pac that we saw on Nintendo Switch in 2022.
