Nintendo explains why Switch 2 Welcome Tour isn’t free
Posted on 7 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch 2 | 0 comments
When Nintendo unveiled Switch 2 Welcome Tour last week, many had hoped that it would be a free pack-in with the new console. The company has known to include some free software with previous platforms and comparisons have been drawn to Astro’s Playroom, which didn’t cost anything extra when picking up a PS5.
Bill Trinen, Nintendo of America’s VP of product and player experience, has now weighed in on things. First, it’s now confirmed that the title will cost $10. Trinen also mentioned that Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour is “a pretty robust piece of software” and it’s intended for those “that want more information about the system rather than necessarily a quick intro to everything it does.”
Trinen’s full words, as shared by IGN:

In light of recent controversy surrounding Nintendo Switch 2 pricing – and the cost of games in particular – VP of product and player experience Bill Trinen has weighed in on the situation.
Arguably the biggest issue right now is Mario Kart World, which sots $80 on its own. Trinen indicated that the game has a lot of value with a lot of meat on its bones, believing many will “find this to be probably the richest Mario Kart experience they’ve ever had.”

Croc: Legend of the Gobbos review for Nintendo Switch
Posted on 7 months ago by Taioh in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: April 2, 2025
Developer: Argonaut Games
Publisher: Argonaut Games
Croc: Legend of the Gobbos first emerged in 1997 as a 3D platformer developed by Argonaut Software and published by Fox Interactive on the original PlayStation. Originally conceptualized as a Yoshi-centric racing game for Nintendo, it took on a life of its own when that collaboration fell through, leaving us with our adorable and plucky green crocodile set out on an adventure to free the charming little creatures that rescued and reared him. Brown, fuzzy, and cute to boot, the Gobbos are scattered all around the islands and apparently only Croc was spared – leaving him in the best position to start on those rescue efforts.

Why Donkey Kong ’94 is one of Nintendo’s hidden gems
Posted on 7 months ago by Ethan in Features, Switch | 0 comments
Just a few weeks back, Nintendo added Donkey Kong to the Game Boy division of Nintendo Switch Online for the first time. It was previously available on the 3DS’ Virtual Console back in 2011, and it’s taken well over ten years for us to see the game again. Every time Nintendo has released or re-released Donkey Kong for the Game Boy, it’s pretty much flown under the radar despite including some of their most iconic characters. So today, we’re taking a look at what makes this game so fun even in the modern day. It’s aged very well!
