REVIEW Return to Monkey Island — "a phenomenal point-and-click adventure, bubbling with passion and fun". Roland Ingram // Nintendo Life REVIEW Does Shovel Knight Dig stand on its own in the franchise? — "this entry in the Shovel Knight universe is a near-perfect translation of Treasure Trove's original vision to the roguelite genre, and a brilliant addition to the many great indie games on the Switch". Patrick Klepek writing for Vice also digs it, noting that this platformer tunred roguelike "makes a strong case for its huge and successful pivot". Nadine Dornieden // iMore Inside Marufukuro — This is a beautiful account of staying at the former Nintendo HQ, now hotel Marufukuro, and how the place pays homage to Nintendo's history in an exceptional, tasteful way. I can't wait to make my booking. Martin Lindell // Superjump Nintendo is releasing the first Mario movie trailer next month Jay Peters // The Verge Nintendo Switch 2 rumored to use Nvidia Technology — That old 4K Switch Pro rumour is back this time via an 'Nvidia employee' sharing supposed details of a new system on a chip (SoC). Sean Murray // The Gamer REVIEW The DioField Chronicle — "surprised me with just how much depth its combat system offered". Zhiqing Wan // Twinfinite ▶ REVIEW Beacon Pines: A story about change Seth Sturgill // All N (YouTube) REVIEW Spiderheck Ted Hazell // Pure Nintendo REVIEW Wayward Strand is a new classic of video game storytelling Steven Nguyen Scaife // Uppercut The Making Of: Star Fox Adventures, the game that was once Dinosaur Planet Damien McFerren // Time Extension Why gamers (and that's all of us) are swapping guns for house plants Kylie Northover // The Sydney Morning Herald How 'Splatoon' carved a welcoming niche in the brutal shooter game genre Josh Broadwell // NPR Tunic's manual was physically made for in-game authenticity — This one is out on Switch next week. Victoria Kennedy // Eurogamer Splatlands Travel Guide — Remember that extensive Animal Crossing companion app for iOS? Well, the same developer is back with a Splatoon-themed take. The app (iOS only) lets your browse Splatoon 3 gear, weapons, and collectibles, and you can even set up neat widgets for your homescreen to see which maps are live/upcoming. Jeffrey Kuiken // App Store Is the timing right on Logitech's plucky foray into handheld gaming? — Ok, this isn't Switch related, but I had thoughts on the new handheld Logitech announced earlier this week. I kinda feel it's gonna be DoA at that price point. Chris Brandrick // Overkill
