Misc Tiny Tale review

System: Switch
Release date: July 22, 2025
Developer: Tinyware Games
Publisher: Tinyware Games

If ever there was a game that had intense trailer appeal, Misc, A Tiny Tale is it. Cute, miniature robots living happy-go-lucky lives in the ruins of human society? Check. Cozy item hunting to help out your robot pals? Check. A snarky, plastic cat that’s somehow obsessed with food. Check plus. The game practically sells itself. I took the plunge into this adorable world to see if the game lives up the hype.

Dragon Ball Z Kakarot Daima - Adventure Through The Demon Realm DLC

October 17: Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is getting even more DLC, and Daima – Adventure Through The Demon Realm DLC has been revealed. This comes in celebration of the new anime that recently started.

As of now Bandai Namco is keeping quiet on the details. However, it looks like there’ll be at least two parts to the DLC. It also looks like players will be able to explore the new Demon Realm.

Zelda movie cast Link Zelda

Just a short while ago, Nintendo unveiled the first cast members for its new movie for The Legend of Zelda.

Shigeru Miyamoto, creator of the franchise, took to social media to announce the news. We now know that Bo Bragason will be playing Zelda. Benjamin Evan Ainsworth is taking on the role of Link. Miyamoto said that he’s “very much looking forward to seeing both of them on the big screen.”

Drag x Drive: Global Jam demo event

Ahead of the game’s launch, Nintendo has announced the Drag x Drive: Global Jam demo event.

Those with a Nintendo Switch Online membership can access it next month. Three sessions will be held in total across a couple of days with four hours dedicated to each slot.

The full schedule is as follows:

Donkey Kong Bananza concept art

In a new interview, Donkey Kong Bananza producer Kenta Motokura shared that he’s hoping the game leads to separate 2D and 3D branches of the series, similar to what we’ve seen with Mario.

Mario clearly has a subset of 2D and 3D games. With Donkey Kong, however, things are murkier. Part of that is simply due to a lack of games. We’ve seen a good amount of 2D Donkey Kong titles, but 3D has been underrepresented – fans know that Donkey Kong 64 was the last time there’s been something in the 3D space.

In an interview published today, Nintendo went into detail as to how the team behind Donkey Kong Bananza was able to take advantage of Switch 2.

We recently heard that the game was initially in the works for the original Nintendo Switch. However, Kenta Motokura said the team “ran into some challenges” and started thinking about moving to the new console around 2021.

Nintendo Switch 2 update 20.2.0

The latest Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch firmware update just went live with version 20.2.0.

A couple of specific issues have been addressed, which involve Parental Control transfers and being stuck in Internet Settings while searching for networks. On top of that, we get the traditional stability updates.

Nintendo’s official notice about the update is as follows:

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 review

System: Switch 2 (also on Switch)
Release date: June 5, 2025
Developer: Iron Galaxy Studio
Publisher: Activision

We’re right at the beginning of the review, but forgive me – I have to take a quick detour. In order to give Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 a fair shake, it’s important to briefly eulogize that which came before. In 2020, developer Vicarious Visions lovingly reimagined the first two Tony Hawk Pro Skater titles, punctuating years of community demand and anticipation in the process. Blending the aesthetics and structure of the original games with the flow and feel of the series’ later entries, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 was a glistening oasis for parched Pro Skater zealots (like me), and it effortlessly washed away the rancid aftertaste left by the chaotically inept Pro Skater 5. The studio’s remake heralded a new beginning for the series – one we all felt would kickflip the franchise back into life. A sequel was expected, but it didn’t happen – at least not initially. After years of the same false starts and dashed hopes that preceded its release, we’ve finally been given reprieve courtesy of developer Iron Galaxy. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 is part sequel, part remake, and has the mammoth task of building on what came before, by rebuilding what came next.
