MySims Action Bundle and MySims Beacon Bay spotted
Posted on 2 months 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 2 months 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.

Donkey Kong Country Returns HD review for Nintendo Switch
Posted on 2 months ago by Ethan in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: January 16, 2025
Developer: Forever Entertainment / Retro Studios
Publisher: Nintendo
With all the buzz around the new Nintendo Switch 2, it’s easy to forget that Donkey Kong Country Returns HD released on the same day of the big reveal. The original game released on Wii way back in 2010 and was praised for bringing the series back into the limelight for the first time in over ten years. Three years later, the game was ported to Nintendo 3DS where it received additional content in the form of brand new post-game levels. Now it’s 2025, and Donkey Kong has returned for a third time – and at full price to boot. Is Donkey Kong Country Returns HD a worthy Nintendo Switch remaster, and how does it stack up to its original release and 3DS port? And perhaps more importantly, how does it hold up against its sequel, which is also available on the console?

The state of every Nintendo franchise post-Switch
Posted on 2 months ago by Ethan in Features, Switch | 0 comments
As we head into the sunset era of one of Nintendo’s most beloved consoles ever, it’s as good time as any to take a look at all that’s happened over the past eight years. We’ve gotten tons of great games on Switch, and plenty of representation for most of Nintendo’s key franchises. Today, we’re taking a look at every single Nintendo series and each of its individual games on Switch. We’ll be analyzing how each series grew and changed over the course of the system’s life cycle – if it peaked, if it struggled, or if it wound up about average. Given the sheer volume of first-party offerings on Switch, this will be an extensive (and very long) analysis.
