Hey #nintendodirect Avowed for Switch 2 would be pretty rad.

I panic when I see my state mentioned. There is almost never a reason to talk about us. Anyway, I'm about 2 hours away from Ottumwa but just in case I have a follower who lives over there.

Feels like a follow up to the Lords of Shadow series but without the Castlevania IP

I just want to apologize to any games I enjoyed in 2025. It appears I'm very bad for sales.

I bought a second Sylux amiibo. I don't think that helps.

not that I expect Metroid Prime 4 to sell gangbusters, but I'm pretty sure if you take a 3-4 week launch month sampling of any Metroid Prime game, it doesn't crack a million in that time frame.

Metroid fans don't look at me. I bought two copies of Prime 4.

Hey, this is a really good and simple colorblind mode for this puzzle that didn't require any bad filters or reworking all the assets. Good job Neyyah.

Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined (Switch 2) Review - NWRTV
YouTube video by Nintendo World Report TV Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined (Switch 2) Review - NWRTV

My first @nintendonwr.bsky.social video review of the year, a joint effort with the amazing @whilhorst.bsky.social, is for Dragin Quest VII Reimagined, an approachable remake for newcomers that loses some of the 3DS version's heart in the process:

Dragon Quest VII has been beautifully reimagined, but has the underlying game survived the journey unscathed? youtu.be/tIPgdZEoGSI?...

I had a lot of people get very annoyed with me when I called this stuff out in my review when the remasters came out, but my favorite was this part where they took flowing water (intended to warn the player which direction they would be swept away in) and made it appear stagnant.

Also worth noting that none of the Star Fox devs I've talked to seemed to have any involvement with the demo. Was likely a very small team that may or may not have been directly tied to Star Fox 1 or 2

My understanding (and I could be corrected on this) was that it was labeled as "Star Fox Virtual Boy" at the show. But as far as I know it never made it much past this tech demo. The main Star Fox team was working on Star Fox 2 which was also at this show. No Star Fox survived this show unscathed :P

Fun fact, it doesn't seem to use the systems anti-aliasing (at least not in most areas) so it winds up being pretty crunchy. Obviously these are off-screen with a CRT filter but it looks pretty darn good. :)

The vibes of Shadowgate 64 are incredible. Consistently unnerving despite never really attempting to scare you. Up there with Myst and Metroid Prime 1 in terms of making you feel very alone.

Honestly probably the highest quality footage we've seen of this demo and all you're really missing is the ship flying into the background after it rotates.

3D Firmware 1.2.0 - Analogue Firmware version 1.2.0 for 3D

The problem with marketing your system as having "perfect" compatibility is that its real awkward every time you have to patch it to fix compatibility. Anyway, I'm glad I'll be able to see the entire screen in Gauntlet now on my perfectly compatible Analogue 3D. www.analogue.co/support/3d/f...

Dispatch Review - Review

It only took 28 days, but here's my first @nintendonwr.bsky.social review of 2026: Dispatch

A wonderful narrative game with great writing and voicework that fans of TellTale and mature superhero stories should definitely check out:

Very curious where Nintendo's exact line is in terms of separating this from the content in Cyberpunk or Witcher 3.

I steamrolled Bionicle on Gamecube in a single sitting as a kid. Still have a soft spot for it.
