There aren't many video games that my wife and I agree on as we do with House House's Untitled Goose Game. That the game is receiving a free two-player cooperative upgrade on September 23rd? Bliss.
I've owned every title in the XCOM franchise. I've played XCOM: Enemy Unknown on Windows rigs, my Mac, PS Vita, and, on my iPad. I won't relate the shameful number of hours that I've spent on these games: It makes me sad to think about it. But, for some reason, I can't tear myself away. […]
My kids and I loved playing Paper Mario on the Wii. Today, Nintendo announced a new Paper Mario title for the Switch, called Paper Mario: The Origami King. Release date is July 17. The kingdom has been ravaged by an origami menace! Join Mario and his new partner, Olivia, as they team up with unlikely […]
A San Diego-based Disney fan has made "happy haunts materialize" on his Animal Crossing: New Horizons island. Player Weary Bones (who goes by the Twitter handle @capuchinokappu) has re-created the experience of the Haunted Mansion as his in-game home, and it's nothing short of A-MAZING. It must have taken him weeks to make this. The […]
My kid enjoys this controller with the Nintendo Switch she has confiscated. With the advent of Animal Crossing, the Nintendo Switch became sole property of my 13-year-old daughter. She immediately complained about the JoyCons and asked for this controller. The BebonCool has dual shock and 6-axis gyro support, so it can be used in place […]

All for the love of Animal Crossing in the coronavirus pandemic.
Wow, man. Some of us take on more extreme projects during the Great Coronavirus Quarantine than others.
As anyone that's been kicking around here for the past few years knows, I love the Nintendo Switch—not so much for its new games, although I do dig a number of those too. For me, the Switch is the ultimate port machine. As I do the majority of my work on a slowly dying early […]

I just bought a copy of Sid Meier's Civilization VI for Nintendo Switch because it's selling for [amazon_link asins='B07HH8ZSMM' template='PriceLink' store='boingboing' marketplace='US' link_id='a046c09a-5dee-4d89-89fd-faa90c3f599e'], which is a lot less than it usually goes for.
I use these screen protectors on my Nintendo Switch. The Nintendo Switch gets handed from child to child. The Switch gets banged, bumped, dropped and treated like something a 5-year-old is struggling wrest from a 10-year-old. Screen protectors come and go, but thus far the Switch has been undamaged. Three packs are nice. [3 Pack] […]
I really like these 'ergonomic' JoyCon replacements. The tiny JoyCons are a pain to hold. These replacements make holding the Switch while you play a lot easier for my carpal tunnel suffering hands. Everything works like the stock JoyCon, except there is something substantial to hold on to. Wireless Controller for Switch, BestOff Neon Red […]
SanDisk's official Nintendo Switch 128GB micro SD card is on sale at Amazon today for [amazon_link asins='B07KXQX3S3' template='PriceLink' store='boingboing' marketplace='US' link_id='ac5ff517-506a-4ccc-91ba-eb1e311b5d8c']. This is the same price as the unbranded version.
I downloaded Untitled Goose Game to my Nintendo Switch a few days ago. It's the most self-abusive fun that I've had (with a video game, I mean we're all friends here) since I owned an NES back in the day. If you're not familiar with the game's premise and don't care to watch the video, […]
I love the mindlessness of a good quest-for-loot dungeon crawler. After a long stressful day, playing one for an hour or two gets me right out of my head. They're good games! But, for me, they'll never match the gory, cartoonish charm of Torchlight and Torchlight 2. When I bought my Nintendo Switch, around this […]
Sometimes, I play video games to get out of my head for an hour or two. A bit of gaming allows me to numb myself after a stressful day at work or to relax through a bout of insomnia once I become too damn tired to read but not sleepy enough to drift off. Marvel […]
