The Miyoo Flip is Not Ready Yet (Review)Wavelengths2026-09-19 | The Miyoo Flip is Not Ready Yet (Review)So is Xbox over, or what?Wavelengths2025-10-02 | ...The 5 Weirdest Things in That Nintendo DirectWavelengths2025-09-13 | The most recent Nintendo Direct was awesome... but MAN was it weird. For every gorgeous Dragon Quest VII remake we got a physical Talking Flower from Super Mario Bros Wonder. For every new Fire Emblem we got Samus on a motorcycle in Metroid Prime 4.
And to make this ABUNDANTLY clear: Weird doesn't equal bad!! Although some of it definitely isn't great.

Dbrand is one of those companies, but their first version of the Killswitch had some real issues... namely that it had the potential to make your Switch MORE likely to break.
Thankfully, they fixed it, and I have the latest Killswitch in hand. Join me while I unbox the thing, and then again for some thoughts after a week of testing!

How will Sony OR consumers navigate the choice of three different products, how have they navigated situations like this in the past, and is this a good idea in the first place?

It seems like every other game gets compared to Balatro — deservedly or not. This led me down a path of wondering what exactly makes Balatro stand out from the rest of the roguelike genre as the beginning of its own subgenre. When has this happened before? And what is the best name for a Balatro-like? Let's find out together.

In a lot of ways, it's a "you know it when you see it" kind of thing, but the number of elements of a game that need to be firing on all cylinders to achieve masterpiece status seems much higher than for film or music or what have you. I thought for this video it might be fun and breezy to look at the last ten years of games and riff on what I think will stand the test of time. While a lot of great games have been released, these are the ones I think hit that upper echelon.
You can agree, and you can also disagree — and that’s what makes talking about games cool!

While it's been lauded over time for that tonal shift and the horror of the creatures found in the Biologic Space Laboratories, the true horror of Metroid Fusion is the success of Super Metroid.

Either way the Nintendo Switch 2 lineup has been dubbed "bad" by most people online, so it's worth investigating exactly what that means and what effect it might have on the console long-term.
Spoiler: It involves a dinosaur named Kuz.
