After a literal year of confusion & turmoil with not knowing where we would be living come the end of 2025, today we finally managed to buy our home. It's over!!!

Without the sword of Damacles hanging over my head, I can also now think about streaming games again, which means one thing... bitch!

New addition to my office 🍌

A shower curtain that is a screenshot of Ocarina of Time where the text “Water Temple” is on the screen, hung up over a shower.

Ended up collecting just over 15,000 gold after three hours before moving on to the first level. I think I’ve found my new comfort game!

I collected 12,800.69 gold in the tutorial section of Donkey Kong Bananza, AMA #DonkeyKongBananza #NintendoSwitch2

For an unknown reason, the Greek version of the Donkey Kong Country cartoon series (called ΝΤΟΝΚΥ ΚΟΝΓΚ) added a smug Donkey Kong face as part of the logo that is absent from all other localizations of the cartoon, where the logo is made out of words only.

NOW PUT THAT THING BACK WHERE IT CAME FROM OR SO HELP ME

I won’t lie, I do like the “Big and Small character” trope! Also, the Donkey Kong Bananza direct was amazing! I nearly cried 😭 Can’t wait for this game! 👏

DK shows Rosalina a photo of him and Young Pauline in the mines.

Rosalina can’t handle the cute picture of little Pauline. Meanwhile, Pauline is beside her a little flustered looking at the old photo.

Not to worry, abject but resourceful #TheSimpsons lawyer Lionel Hutz has quickly rushed to Nintendo's aid ;)

Jokes aside, our thoughts go out to the designer responsible this morning

I'll be at Cardiff Animation Weekender this weekend (17-18 May), and my new short film Crybaby will be showing on the Saturday! Can't wait to see you there!

#Eurovision did a top 10 countdown of the most streamed Eurovision songs in tonight’s semi final and they conveniently left out Joost’s Europapa from last year which has 178 million streams on Spotify. Pathetic from the EBU to hide that but what did I expect after last year? #JusticeForJoost

Decided to play Not For Broadcast and it’s hitting a little too close to home with current world events… 😬

Yes, you could sell the Switch 2 Edition upgrade code online but you have to go through the effort of doing that to get the price back down to what it was originally. You’re probably better off buying a new or used copy now and then the upgrade DLC from a retailer other than Nintendo at that point.

So if original Switch owners want to buy a new physical copy of something like Kirby and the Forgotten Land and the original Switch copies are sold out, their only option will be the more expensive Switch 2 Edition with a useless code in the box if they have no intention of playing it on a Switch 2.

On top of the Switch 2 game prices, I think Nintendo are trying to raise the prices of their original Switch games too. They want to make these Switch 2 Editions the only new physical versions available to purchase in the future while the original Switch is still on sale. So from £49.99 to £64.99 🫠

Nintendo fans reacting to the new Donkey Kong game reveal… #DonkeyKongBananza #NintendoSwitch2 #NintendoDirect

When it's not happening until 2026

My random online sources are reporting that Nintendo will reveal new information about the Nintendo Switch within the next 207 hours (subject to change). Which Nintendo Switch you might ask? Definitely the Switch 2 and possibly the Switch 1. How much information? More than we knew before.

I built a Playstacean!

RETURN OF THE KING

I know Twilight Princess HD and Paper Mario: Colour Splash also came out in 2016 but I wouldn’t consider a HD remaster and a game which people hated for being similar to Sticker Star to be major games in retrospect. Don’t get me started on how they removed the GamePad map from BotW Wii U as well.

Pokken Tournament and Star Fox Zero were the only major Wii U games released in 2016 which came out in March and April respectively. It became clear by the Summer that Breath of the Wild was the last major game left for the system. Then we had the Nintendo Switch reveal to rub salt into the wound.

You can tell who experienced the Wii U 2016 drought based on how they react to Nintendo possibly staying silent until the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct in April. A three month wait for an info blowout is nothing compared to the buyer’s remorse people had that year.

Can’t wait for the inevitable Furukawa statement if a Nintendo Direct happens this month.
“This is Furukawa. There will only be games for the original Nintendo Switch console featured in the February Direct. There won’t be further Nintendo Switch 2 news until April so please be patient.”
