dbrand Killswitch 2 Case review
Posted on 1 month ago by Ethan in Reviews, Switch 2 | 0 comments
For such a popular console, it’s been surprisingly difficult to find the perfect grip case for the Nintendo Switch 2. We’ve reviewed the Savage Raven NeoGrip, the Savage Raven StandGrip, the JSAUX Split Protective Case, and the Genki Attack Vector so far. dbrand’s Killswitch 2 had some problems when it launched earlier this year – namely, the Joy-Con would often fall off and disconnect from the Nintendo Switch 2 unit entirely during normal gameplay (or if you held the console with one hand, which is a pretty common thing to do).
We’ve now just received the dbrand Killswitch 2 travel case with updated Joy-Lock grips. This new updated design promises to fix the Killswitch 2’s previous attachment issues. Now that customers are finally getting their revised units, is this the best Switch 2 case on the market? It’s certainly the most expensive one, costing around $60 for the essential kit and around $80 for the travel kit.
Dormant franchises Nintendo could bring back on Switch 2
Posted on 1 month ago by Ethan in Features, Switch 2 | 0 comments
By now, there are a few dormant Nintendo franchises that are kind of infamous because they haven’t had a new game in many years. That said, it’s not like Nintendo never takes risks with smaller games – Clubhouse Games, New Pokemon Snap, Big Brain Academy, Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp, and especially Emio – The Smiling Man are all great examples of the Big N bringing back dormant franchises in recent years. You could argue New Pokemon Snap isn’t a dormant franchise, and that’s sort of true – the point is, Nintendo is known to take risks with some of its smaller IP. It’s just that those risks usually do not include the IP that some fans want to see.
So today, we’re going over some franchises we could see Nintendo bring back on Switch 2. For the console’s first year or so, we do expect the company to focus primarily on heavy hitters. As time passes, though, we’ll most certainly start seeing some smaller titles based on long-inactive IP after a while. Nintendo commented on rising development costs a little while back, stating that they can make appealing titles even if they have a short development period.

Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion review for Nintendo Switch 2
Posted on 1 month ago by Nicholas Serpa in Reviews, Switch 2 | 0 comments
System: Switch 2
Release date: September 4, 2025
Developer: Marvelous
Publisher: Marvelous
If a game is going to let me rip across a futuristic planetscape in a mech suit and decimate a seemingly endless array of robotic and rancid foes, really the only thing it needs to do is make those core actions feel as satisfying as possible. Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion is a game of many parts, but if there’s one concept it absolutely nails, it’s a simple one: blasting aliens in a high-tech exosuit should be exciting. At the same time, this sequel to Kenichiro Tsukuda’s 2019 combat-action game embraces the philosophy of “bigger is better,” expanding upon the original game’s mission-based structure with a massive open world to explore, layers upon layers of systems to learn, and seemingly endless ways to build a space-age war machine. It’s also one of the first multiplatform games of this scale to launch day-and-date on Nintendo Switch 2, making it an exciting litmus test for what the console might be capable of.
