Nintendo Switch 2 launch lineup: Every game we predict will be available at launch
The big Nintendo Switch 2 Direct presentation is almost upon us. Let’s make some predictions. On Wednesday morning at 9 a.m. ET, Nintendo is going to blow the doors off the Switch 2, most likely telling us how much it will cost and when it will come out. That stuff is cool and good to…
Game Genres Are Completely Meaningless, And It’s All Your Fault
Genres are broken. Broken, I argue, beyond repair. We need to crumple them up and throw them all away. This Brutal Gothic Metroidvania Is Shaping up To Be Something Special Genres always were broken, of course. They are, as with any other form of human-invented categorization, arbitrary.

The Best FF7 Rebirth Graphics Settings For Steam Deck
Let’s cut to the chase; it’s a small miracle that Final Fantasy VII Rebirth runs on the Steam Deck. This is a game so visually demanding that it’s the poster child for the $800 PS5 Pro. Yet, the power of Valve’s handheld device is roughly comparable to last gen’s PS4. On top of that, even…
Nintendo may be hiding a Switch 2 secret in plain sight
Summary The Nintendo Switch 2 appears to simulate mouse movements with the Joy-Con controllers as a new control option. Nintendo’s first Switch included features to make it easier to port or emulate Wii games. It’s possible Nintendo is doing something similar with mouse control and the DS.

The Console Wars Are Over And Nobody Really Won
For decades, a war has been raging online and in stores. A fight between massive corporations trying to sell you plastic boxes that play games and their weirdly dedicated supporters. The fight was always silly, but very real and expensive, involving massive companies spending hundreds of millions of dollars on marketing, game development, and hardware….
