Leg day is an enigma. I lift 3x more total weight than any other day at the gym, but also leave feeling the least accomplished...?

Mina the Hollower on Switch 2 has a 120hz option! That seems to be docked and handheld too...

Hopefully when they send out the Kickstarter rewards, I'll be able to choose Switch 2 as my platform of choice!

I did it! What a way to begin a new Nintendo generation.

23 Bananas away from hitting 100% completion in DK Bananza! What a ride.

Improved graphics and framerate is confirmed for Kirby and the Forgotten Land on Switch 2! Lovely stuff.

I feel like this + the Metroid Prime 4 FanExpo demo is giving me hope for a decent Nintendo presence at Gamescom.

Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound (Played on Switch 2) YouTube video by Hispanicguy

I was excited for the Switch 2 to be my new indie machine, with a lovely big screen and 120hz displaty. Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound running at 30fps on brand new hardware is disappointing.

I wonder if this is Nintendo's fault for being cagey with dev kits?

Saying that, I certainly will be catching up on Monster Hunter Stories in preparation for 3!

Third party performance and visuals are still a huge, huge compromise if you're playing on the switch 2, moreso than I'd have liked to see on the new hardware.

Low resolution textures and models, loads of aliasing, shaky framerates, probably launching at full price too - not off to a good start!

Gotta say, a partner Direct featuring Red Dead Redemption 2, Hades 2 1.0 shadowdrop, Death Stranding and Metaphor Refantazio would probably be the best one there's ever been.

Now we just need Konami's Castlevania and Blades of Fire to show up...

Nintendo delayed the announcement of the winners of the Japanese 5th Nintendo Switch 2 lottery to August 4th because of the tsunami warning.

Yeah there is no way in hell that we get a Direct date today.

I hope Nintendo does more free resolution boost patches for games.

Metroid Prime Remastered and Metroid Dread would be really lovely at 4k!

I've never been able to find it since! It was a long old time ago. I know I'm being vague, it's just all I can remember!

Ohwell, doomed to be a mystery I suppose!

Metroid Prime 4 just got rated (12) in Korea.

Hi Liam, this is still on my mind! Do you remember what video I mean?

12/10? GOTY

Just a nitpick, but wasn't the last Metroid Prime 4 trailer released in April, as part of the Switch 2 direct?

Yep, same here! Was looking for something totally unrelated too.

No Rest for the Wicked performs so poorly on Steam Deck, I think a well optimised Switch 2 version (that uses DLSS) might be the way I choose to play when version 1.0 drops.

Cheers pal, very relaxed

Thanks Geezer, it was a good one!!

@liamrobertson.bsky.social from memory, the video was of a man jumping/falling from a window of a grey building, and I think he turns into a cube? Almost like he's died and returned to cube form, or he's transforming into the cube.

So vague, but I wonder if this jogs your memory? 2/2

@liamrobertson.bsky.social I remember years ago, maybe 2019, you posted a short clip on Twitter of what I assume to be an unreleased game.

I missed any follow up information or any video related to it, but it's always intrigued me and I'm wondering if you could shed some light? 1/2

I've had a lovely day off for my birthday!

Did 10k steps on a woodland hike, played some Donkey Kong Bananza, now waiting for the curryhouse to open for a takeaway...

Huge fan!

Video Games discourse online has never recovered from gamers learning the phrases "Next-Gen" and "New IP".

Here I am, maybe 10 hours into of my favourite new gaming experience of the year, wondering what the hell could top it...

Suddenly I remember that Metroid Prime 4 is due out in the next 5 months. Beautiful stuff.

Really enjoying Donkey Kong Bananza

32 on Monday and I was convinced that my hairline has been going since I turned 30. Then I found a photo of myself from 6 years ago.

Phew. Best feature intact.

Tempted to use my birthday next week to justify buying myself a Pro Controller today...
