[News] Another Game Has Been Added To Nintendo Switch Online!

More Donkey Kong on Switch! source:  twitter.com/NintendoAmerica Over on X (Twitter), Nintendo has announced that  another game is coming to Nintendo Switch Online. This time it's Donkey Kong Land 2 as part of the Gameboy catalogue of games.  Gameboy games do not require the expansion tier, so you can play this even with just a basic subscription. The game is available to play as of this blog. For more information on this game click this link: Donkey Kong Land 2 Cool to see another Donkey Kong game added to the Nintendo Switch Online lineup. This is one I will be giving a go myself as I played the donkey kong country games for the first time on this service and enjoyed them a lot. Donkey Kong games are always a great time and I would recommend them to any platformer fan. That's it for this blog, stay connected! 

[News] New Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Movie Trailer out!

Trailer 2 is now out! source:  www.youtube.com/@SonictheHedgehog Over on YouTube, the official Sonic the Hedgehog channel has just uploaded a new two-minute trailer for their upcoming movie. This is the second trailer we have gotten for this movie. You can watch it here . As a reminder, this movie will be in cinemas on December 20th , so make sure to book your tickets now if you want to watch it. I am really excited for this movie and this trailer just further boosts the hype. It gives us quite a few more scenes we haven't seen before, nothing too notable though. However, it was great to see some Shadow the Hedgehog game references in there such as him with a gun or the scene where Sonic collapses. I will not be seeing it when it launches in the cinema, instead, I will watch it when it comes to Blu-ray. We don't know when that will happen, but I am fine with waiting. That's it for this blog, stay connected!

[News] Stellar Blade x Nier Automata Collab Event Coming Soon!

The awaited collaboration DLC  is near! source:  x.com/PlayStation Over on X (Twitter), PlayStation has just updated us about the Stellar Blade x Nier collab. The collab will be launching November 20th and will be a paid update to the game . Their is currently no price stated yet. Some other things like the highly requested photo mode, 4 more standard costumes, one more accessory and extra options are being added as well in a free update on the same day.  This will be so cool. I love it when games collaborate for fun. Stellar Blade gets compared a lot to Nier so it's really fitting. The screenshots and video shared of the update so far look fantastic too. The first thing we can see from these is that A2 and 2B are playable skins and that Emile will be appearing in the game. 2B is seen with a few skins actually so maybe A2 will get multiple too. NPC's Lily and Adam seem to have skins as well, Lily's being 9S and Adam's being an Emile head. It's said there are 11 tota...

[News] Super Nintendo World Direct Announced!

Donkey Kong Country Expansion News!  source:  twitter.com/NintendoAmerica Over on X (Twitter), Nintendo has just made a post informing us there is going to be a new Nintendo Direct. It will be airing on  November 11th @ 11pm GMT, with a runtime of 10 minutes . This isn't just a standard direct though, it's one focused on Super Nintendo World, specifically, the new Donkey Kong Country expansion. Nintendo has made sure to point out that there will be no game announcements. You will be able to watch this direct, as always, on Nintendo's selection of official YouTube channels. Super Nintendo World is already really cool, but the new Donkey Kong expansion will be a really nice addition. I do wonder how big this expansion will be and the activities you will be able to do there. The number one thing I think they need there is some type of minecart ride that would be so fitting. I hope this has opened the gate for further expansions down the line for other games like Ze...

[Thoughts] The GameCube Had Some Interesting Versions - Coolest Consoles (Part 2)

Let's look at some Gamecube Special Edition consoles! source: consolevariations.com In this series of blogs, I will be covering my favourite versions of each console that I have owned. Now, I most likely don't have any of these myself due to the pricing for them, but I can still see them very well online through photos/videos. However, if I do have one of them, I will make a note of it. Each part of this series will contain a top five for that specific console, this is in order as well from least liked to most liked. Anyway, without further ado, let's start! 5.  Nintendo Gamecube Starlight Gold Edition source: consolevariations.com This console is my fifth favourite. Funnily enough the gold N64 was my favouirte last time, however, i feel like there are quite a few other consoles for the gamecube that look better than this. The gold on this is also slightly different in tone and doesnt look as good as the gold for the N64. That said i do still like it and think it looks qu...

[Review] Ys X: Nordics (PS5)

A wonderful sail of an adventure despite a few issues on board   Ys X: Nordics is the latest installment of the Ys Series. It launched for PS4, PS5, Switch and PC on October 25th. This game originally came out a year ago for Eastern audiences. However, we had to wait till this year to get our hands on it. It was surprising to see it was coming out this year though as I expected it to be next year, so seeing it this year was really cool. Ever since I first saw some previews of this game I was quite excited about it. Adol manning a ship? and his ship not crashing?? That's so unheard of for Ys, a great change of pace. Did Adol sail all the way to greatness? Well... I have now completed the game and played all the side content so I am more than ready to give my thoughts on it.  ~ Positives ~ Buttery Smooth And Satisfying Combat - The combat for Ys games is always something special. They always manage to make something so fun in every game. Ys X is no different. In fact, I would sa...
