Nintendo has to officially reveal the Switch 2 soon, right?

This week has been a crazy one for Nintendo Switch 2 leaks, with peripheral makers, CES exhibitors, and even Amazon.jp all showcasing unauthorized sneak peeks at what has to be the worst kept secret in gaming history. With pretty much everything now out in the open regarding the new console's size, specs, and more, it seems a little crazy that we're still waiting on Nintendo to officially reveal their newest console. However, in true Nintendo fashion, these leaks have gone unacknowledged, and we have no idea when Nintendo might actually, finally, reveal their newest console. Eager fans have been combing through social media banners, GameStop SKUs and more for any hint of when this big announcement might finally drop, and with so much attention, it seems logical that an announcement is imminent. However, Nintendo's announcement strategy is notoriously wacky, so we could be waiting much longer, as the official deadline for the Switch 2 announcement is the end of March. So with this in mi

Mouse pointers and Nintendo -- are you on board with this potential Switch 2 feature?

The successor to Nintendo's popular Switch hybrid game console is officially just around the corner. Commonly referred to by fans as simply the Switch 2, this yet-to-be-announced next-gen system is expected to retain much of the existing Switch's DNA, while offering a noticeable boost in terms of compute power. President of Nintendo, Shuntaro Furukawa, has previously confirmed a self-imposed Switch 2 reveal deadline of March 31, 2025, which lines up with the end of the company's current fiscal quarter. "We will make an announcement about the successor to Nintendo Switch within this fiscal year. It will have been over nine years since we announced the existence of Nintendo Switch back in March 2015," says Furukawa in an X post from May of last year. The internet is predictably ablaze with Switch 2 hype, speculation, rumors, and leaks, with no sign of things slowing down anytime soon. In just the past couple of weeks, we've seen a number of alleged supply chain images floating around,

Will you be watching Sony's new live action video game adaptations?

As part of this year's CES, Sony took to the stage to announce that it is continuing to mine its PlayStation video game library for studio film projects, announcing that it’s developing new live-action movies based on Horizon Zero Dawn and Helldivers. The push for live-action adaptations has had wildly uneven results so far, with movies like Gran Turismo and Uncharted failing to resonate with audiences, but the blockbuster series adaptation of The Last of Us becoming a huge cultural staple. What do you think about these two newest projects? No talent has been attached to either yet, but both IPs seem like they could have at least some cinematic potential, if handled by the right creative team. Which of these would you most look forward to seeing?
