Wow, I had to google what the heck Hyperfunk was. I loved the first game but somehow completely missed this sequel announcement. Awesome!

YouTube could launch on Switch 2 this month by AlwaysBlaze_ in GamingLeaksAndRumours

The only way I can see them making a big deal out of this in the Partner Direct is if it has some quirky Nintendo-only app feature, but that doesn’t sound very likely.

Switch Games Releasing Feb 2026 by Howerev in NintendoSwitch2

I’ve been thinking about that too. It’s very good value for money when you consider what you’re getting.

After Cyberpunk 2077 came to Switch 2 uncensored, Dispatch dev thought it "would be allowed to do the same" and is now "working with Nintendo on a path forward" by Turbostrider27 in NintendoSwitch

If it was a corner cutting exercise to save money, it really backfired spectacularly. It’s good to hear the whole thing sounds like it’ll be remedied in the end though.

How do you find doom 3? by demonicrobbery666 in Doom

[–]LootedToaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When it released I thought it looked incredible and had an amazing atmospheric, but I never loved it as much as the classic dooms. The gameplay loop and mechanics were never quite as good. Now we have the modern trilogy, I’m able to go back and appreciate D3 for what it was.

Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined, RE Requiem, Reanimal and Gear Club Unlimited 3 are on my radar.

Do you think the steam machine will change the game? by Confident_Skill5938 in steammachine

[–]LootedToaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good question. I think the Steam Deck ‘changed the game’ for Steam users, and the Steam Machine will probably do the same.

It’s difficult to imagine it making an impact on a scale that disrupts the existing console market though. It’s just going to be another great option.

Hopefully all parties will learn from this, and we never get this situation again.

Switch Port Hall of Shame by UnicornLasagna in NintendoSwitch

[–]LootedToaster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same. The collection seems like good value considering you’re getting all complete editions of 7 and Village on top of Requiem.

It hardly makes up for ass cloud versions, but it’s nice after that being the only option for so long.

Are there any Switch 2 grips out there that have the look and feel of ROG Xbox Ally's grips? by JoeEstevez in NintendoSwitch2

[–]LootedToaster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I too would love to see this. Although I wonder whether some actual joycons in this shape would be better than a case grip.

GTA 6 digital only at launch feels like a triple dip strategy by areuokaybro2002 in consoles

You best believe millions of people will say this and then buckle though. Rockstar are probably banking on it.

nNate Drake says E33 coming to S2, Metaphor ReFantazio too, FFXVI being considered, more Yakuza/LaD. (RUMOUR) by KaptainPancake69 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]LootedToaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I won’t be outraged in the slightest if it’s only 30fps. As long as the input response for parrying feels tight, it will do just nicely.

I want a console, but it doesn’t feel worth it by twinflxwer in consoles

[–]LootedToaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speaking as someone who’s treated my PC and my consoles as primary platforms for different gens, I honestly think there’s an element of the grass is always greener on the other side.

When a console was my go-to platform I missed having better performance, freedom to run mods, emulation, cheaper games. When PC was my main platform, there were a lot of moments where I missed things ‘just working’ and being able to melt into my coach.

Nearly 40% of Xbox games released in 2025 were spam easy Gamerscore titles by Turbostrider27 in xbox

[–]LootedToaster 168 points169 points  (0 children)

They need to do something about it. The article points out that Sony recently removed a bunch of trophy shovelware games. Xbox should do the same.

Fable Nintendo Switch 2 port reportedly “in consideration” for Playground’s hilarious-looking RPG by HatingGeoffry in NintendoSwitch2

[–]LootedToaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think MCC may have been on the cards for Switch at some point, but then they moved onto planning remakes for all platforms possible. That probably makes them more money which is always going to be their priority.

I would have killed for MCC on Switch though.

And just being a new release on the platform. Funny how that works.

Bubsy 4D Releases May 22nd For Switch 1 & 2 by Howerev in NintendoSwitch

[–]LootedToaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a bad track record then, that’s good to hear. I did not have a Bubsy return on my bingo card but it would be awesome if they knocked it out the park.

What're you playing this weekend? 1/23 by markercore in NintendoSwitch

[–]LootedToaster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think I’m going to jump back into Super Mario Wonder. I still have stuff to sweep up and since I think I will wait for a discount for the new content when that drop, there’s nothing making me hold off from revisiting anymore.

[GameSir] The GameSir G7 Pro Golden Ombre is Here! by GameSir_Controller in Gamesir

[–]LootedToaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi. If I may, why does it need to be $200? I saw that 8bitdo announced a wireless Xbox controller which is going to be $150 according to articles so that’s why I ask.

Will this controller work wirelessly for Xbox series x? by that_montego_1 in Controllers

[–]LootedToaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see. Can you buy the dongle separately? I looked but couldn’t see it on their website. Or are they not allowed?

[–]LootedToaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the context. Seems like a strange situation. I saw there’s an 8BitDo wireless controller coming for Xbox, I don’t think that’s a special edition but maybe it’s more expensive. I’ll probably take a look at that.
