We’ve got another Nintendo Switch 2 accessory review for you – this time for the Skull & Co StandGrip.
By now, the Savage Raven line of grips for Nintendo Switch 2 is one of the only ones that hasn’t been surrounded by some sort of production controversy. Quite the opposite, actually – generally speaking, it seems both the Neo Grip and the StandGrip have been received positively so far. Today, we’re focusing specifically on the StandGrip, which is available from the Skull & Co website for around $20 right now. Despite appearing like a budget option, the StandGrip is currently my favorite out of the Nintendo Switch 2 grips I’ve tried. I’m someone who almost exclusively plays in handheld mode, and for that purpose the StandGrip works excellently. It might not suit everybody’s play style for reasons we’ll delve into in a moment, but this grip should absolutely be on your radar if you’re looking for a good one.
When we see a new Sonic racing game come around, some fans ask the question as to why the Blue Blur uses a car to race. After all, he’s extremely quick on his own, right? Well, Team Sonic head Takashi Tezuka has now offered his input directly.
Tezuka said that this comes to the idea of Sonic wanting to have fun. If he were to race on his own, it just wouldn’t be much of a competition.
A new month started up this week. Now that we’re in July, we want to know what you’ve been playing.
Are you still going through Mario Kart World or other Nintendo Switch 2 launch games? Maybe you’ve been checking out other recent releases like Raidou Remastered? No matter the case, let us know in the comments.
Virtuos, a company that was involved with ports for a number of Nintendo Switch games over the years, has weighed in on the power of Switch 2.
If you played a third-party title on Nintendo Switch, chances are you’ve experienced some of Virtuos’ work. Dark Souls Remastered, Final Fantasy 12, Starlink: Battle for Atlas, and NieR: Automata are just some of the ports the studio had a hand in.
Did you know that it’s possible to intentionally crash your Nintendo Switch 2? Fans shared that discovery on social media this week and it seemed to gain a lot of interest.
Doing so actually seems to be pretty simple. If you open and close the amiibo screen in the system settings quickly and repeatedly, Nintendo Switch 2 crashes. No one can say at the moment why this happens, but the console doesn’t like something here and forces a restart. After rebooting the system, it’ll thankfully turn back on as if nothing happened – which is what you would want in this situation.
Below is a look at the method in action:
2023: Rogueside is bringing Best Served Cold to Switch, the company has announced. No release window was provided.
Best Served Cold is a narrative-driven murder mystery game. The action takes place in the fictional Tzaran capital of Bukovie in which players take on the role of a bartender at a speakeasy where potential suspects and witnesses gather. The game is ultimately about solving a series of murders by gathering clues from the local patrons.
Here’s some additional information:
Thanks to Mad Mimic, we have a launch trailer for No Heroes Here 2. The studio is promoting the debut of its chaotic co-op tower defense game.

The latest Nintendo Switch eShop charts for the week of July 5, 2025 are now available.
It’s a full circle moment for Super Mario Odyssey as the game is back at the top of the charts thanks to a sale currently happening. Nintendo has other titles discounted as well, which means see the likes of Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury and Animal Crossing: New Horizons in the top ten.

Square Enix is hosting one of its biggest Nintendo eShop sales ever for Switch right now, with many games at new low prices – Final Fantasy 9, NieR: Automata, and Octopath Traveler 2 are just a few of these. Well over fifty titles from the publisher are seeing discounts currently.
The full lineup is as follows:
Today, we’re discussing Mario Kart World and how Nintendo could add new content to the game, plus the kind of characters and courses we could wind up seeing.
To start, we need to make something clear right away: Mario Kart World is a fantastic game as-is. Is it worth $80 when purchased outside the bundle? That’s up for you to decide, but ultimately Nintendo could further bolster the game with free updates. Think of it this way: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe cost $60 on launch even though it was a port and not an all-new title, and then it received a $25 DLC pack on top of that – which adds up to an $85 price tag (although you can technically borrow the DLC for free with a Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack plan). This is a big assumption, but Nintendo could potentially earn back some good will by releasing free updates. It’s also entirely possible that Nintendo decides to charge for DLC packs – it wouldn’t be a huge surprise if they did, but we feel like Mario Kart World has already received some substantial backlash for its $80 price tag. Adding DLC on top of that wouldn’t make the situation much better.
