Fast Fusion review for Nintendo Switch 2
Posted on 1 month ago by Richard in Reviews, Switch 2 | 0 comments
System: Switch 2
Release date: June 5, 2025
Developer: Shin’en
Publisher: Shin’en
I love anti-gravity racers. My very first one was F-Zero GX, one of the two games I picked up with my GameCube in 2003, when I was six. I was addicted. I put dozens upon dozens of hours into the game, with its difficulty level only encouraging me to play more. My dad saw how much I loved it, and he owned a PlayStation 2 at the time. As a gift, he gifted me WipeOut Fusion the following year. A similar style of game, and another one I fell in love with, albeit not to the same extent. Still, as the years went by, F-Zero and WipeOut became series with infrequent releases at best. An itch formed within me for a new futuristic space racer, and unbeknownst to me, there was another one making the rounds from Shin’en.

Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom dev on approach to loading screens, wanted players to feel ‘happiness’ when cooking
Posted on 1 month ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
In a recruitment post on Nintendo’s website, developer Daigo Shimizu spoke about what it was like working on the UI for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the and Tears of the Kingdom.
Shimizu spoke about how starting with Breath of the Wild, the team opted for “a more streamlined approach.” That means removing clutter and focusing on what was truly necessary. If you’ve played either Nintendo Switch title, you may have noticed that there isn’t a ton happening on screen aside from the actual game world.
The idea of practicality and ‘happiness’ was something brought up for the loading screens. Breath of the Wild featured tips, but Tears of the Kingdom showed the map to get players excited about exploration. Along the same lines, the theme of ‘happiness’ was used for cooking and specifically the Recipe Book in Tears of the Kingdom as the team felt “people feel happy by looking at restaurant menus or pictures of food”.
[Let’s Talk] First Nintendo Switch 2 impressions
Posted on 1 month ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk, Switch 2 | 0 comments
The launch of a new gaming system is always an exciting time. These days, it’s even more exciting in the world of Nintendo. In the past we’d see a new Nintendo device every few years – it’d be split between the release of handheld and home console. But because those two things are now combined, the wait for Nintendo hardware is longer than ever before. Now after more than eight years, Nintendo Switch 2 is finally here.
Nintendo was clearly looking to build on what worked so well the last time around. That means we again have a system that can be played either on the TV or on the go. Still, the added power is certainly welcome, and there are some new features such as mouse support and GameChat functionality.
If you picked up a Nintendo Switch 2 this week, how are you feeling about it so far? What are your first impressions? Which games have you played? Let us know in the comments.
