System: Switch
Release date: August 25, 2025
Developer: Underwater Fire
Publisher: First Break Labs

Underwater Fire Games are a brand new independent studio from Los Angeles, and on the team’s website, the mission statement says they seek to create thought-provoking video games that fill their players with a sense of wonder. Their first video game, Particle Hearts, is an ambitious 3D puzzle platformer that has taken elements from several big name titles like Journey and the more recent mainline Zelda entries. Underwater Fire Games ultimately crafted its own unique title that operates quite differently than anything I have ever played before.

One of my personal highlights from the recent Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase was the Pac-Man World 2 Re-Pac reveal. That was really the only highlight from the Partner Direct for me, but it was a big one! I grew up playing Pac-Man World 2 on GameCube and never thought we’d be looking at a full-on remake over 20 years later. If you’re a fan of 3D platformers, then it’s a great time to try out the Pac-Man World series for the very first time.

Today, we’re looking at Pac-Man World Re-Pac on the Nintendo Switch, which is a remake of the original Pac-Man World on the PlayStation. Normally, the remake costs $30 – but it goes on sale a lot, which makes it even more accessible for those looking to try the Pac-Man World games for the first time. The digital version has dropped below $10 numerous times, so keep an eye out for sales if you’re interested in giving it a shot.

Donkey Kong Bananza has been out for over a month now, and it’s been met with glowing reviews and plenty of excitement. I gave it a great score in my own review, but after writing it there was one specific question on my mind – is it better than Super Mario Odyssey? In a way, you could say comparison is the thief of joy, but this gave me an excuse to replay both Odyssey and Bananza to form a conclusive answer. And by “conclusive answer”, I mean “an opinion backed up by a couple thousand words’ worth of explanations”. So today, we’re doing a Super Mario Odyssey vs. Donkey Kong Bananza analysis, comparing their strengths and weaknesses, and seeing which one comes out on top – if any. Do keep in mind that we’ll eventually discuss spoilers for both games, so you might want to bookmark this post and come back later if you’re trying to avoid Donkey Kong Bananza’s ending details.

System: Switch 2
Release date: August 28, 2025
Developer: HAL Laboratory
Publisher: Nintendo

This game’s title is a mouthful, to say the least! It’s been about two years since we’ve received a new Kirby game, and Nintendo has decided to release an upgrade pack for Kirby and the Forgotten Land. When it first launched in 2022, it was met with critical acclaim. Not only is the game considered one of Kirby’s best, it’s up there as one of the greatest 3D platformers – perhaps not on par with your Super Mario Odyssey or Donkey Kong Bananza, but up there nonetheless. The Nintendo Switch 2 Edition of Kirby and the Forgotten Land promises performance bumps and twelve new levels with Star-Crossed World.
