I am reading that the Castlevania Demo runs at 60fps on Switch 2!

I've been tracking my calories to maintain a deficit, walking ~18k steps a day, running every other evening, lifting weights 3x a week and I now only have to lose 21lbs by Christmas... I know weight loss isn't linear, but it's never been this hard before!

The best thing about being a homeowner is that every time I leave a scrape or a dent in a wall trying to get a huge piece of furniture through our tiny staircase, it becomes our problem for the rest of time...

I was a little bit hungover this morning, but still moved two massive new bits of furniture up to our *nearly finished* bedroom and then did a 5K run! Onimusha on the sofa and an early night before finally moving back home tomorrow.

Cutting this down to 9 games was so rough, but man the GBA/DS were so influential for my tastes growing up. I didn't discover Monster Hunter and Souls games until my 20s, so I could probably do a second one of these...

Fully intended on playing Onimusha over the last week and a half, but I picked up Splatoon Raiders again. After beating Saros, something kind of unlocked in my brain and I am finding greater depth and synergy in my Raiders builds. Finding 5-star items really tickles my brain, too.

I was 3 beers deep earlier, talking about how I wish I had used my 20s more wisely... But after looking back, I was kind of a lost cause. Your 20s are for making mistakes, my 30s are for achieving the things I wasn't equipped for a decade ago. I'm 5 beers deep now, but I know I was spitting.

In September 2023 we moved into our rental house together. After 3 years of making it into our home.... we just bought it! I never thought I'd be able to own a home, so I'm beyond ecstatic. This has been an incredibly fulfilling year so far.

As if I wasn't hyped enough, a launch trailer set to a Cardigans song??? God I am so sad I won't be able to play this until next Sunday...

Just realised this isn't coming to Switch 2 😭 Even neo-castlevania is allergic...

It's called X-Com because you can replace the X with ANY IP and it's a certified banger game.

Mark does say this with the same aggression as Samus's scream at the end of Dread

This is a ridiculous time to be a Nintendo fan. It's just hit after hit, and so many third party titles too!

In the second trilogy, Samus is on the back foot thanks to the X parasite. Her suit is nearly destroyed, it is now blue, and it is regrowing. The Metroid DNA saves her life, and it starts to change her. She's also being hunted by the SA-X, the Emmi or the Space Ninjas.

Max Wright @maxlwright.com · 15/09/2026
In the first trilogy, Samus is the hunter. Her mission is to seek out and destroy Metroids and Space Pirates. She has her classic orange suit throughout, and it ends with the eradication of all Metroids, and the destruction of Zebes, where it all began. It's a complete story.

It seems clear to me that Metroid Ravenous is the end of a trilogy that started with Fusion back in 2002. 1-3 is the "Hunter", "Orange Suit" or "Metroid" trilogy. 4-6 is the "Hunted" or "Blue Suit" or "X Parasite" trilogy.

I was obsessed with this before it launched in Japan. By the time it got to the UK I had moved on, but man I wanna give this a go one day!

It seems like the modder was charging for access to the mod, which is what triggered Sony's involvement. Shame to see the work go to waste, but Sony do seem within their rights to act this time.

Max Wright @maxlwright.com · 14/09/2026
It tops out at 900p on Switch, so even handheld boost it's still not max resolution. In larger rooms, Samus becomes quite pixellated. 1080p/4k and 120hz mode would be incredible!

It's probably not healthy to align yourself this heavily with a media franchise, but as a person who spent his entire childhood begging people to play Metroid (while being completely ignored), seeing people finally "get it" was vindicating and soothing.

Max Wright @maxlwright.com · 13/09/2026
The reaction to Metroid Ravenous' reveal is so nourishing as a longtime fan, especially in the afterglow of Beyond. Dread was such a good introduction to so many new fans, and people who hadn't really tried Metroid finally understood.

2026 has been a BUSY year, but I've nearly been able to play everything I wanted to so far...

It shouldn't take this much brainpower to give a company my money. I was checking sites non-stop last night, refreshed the Nintendo store for over an hour earlier and still nearly missed out. They should be begging us to buy things!

I've read and watched a few Wolverine reviews, and I don't think I'm going to ever play this game. A shame.

I'm glad I asked then! Whatever it was, I'm glad it's gone now so I don't have to force HDR on all software.

Max Wright @maxlwright.com · 10/09/2026
Interesting. I always assumed it was a monitor issue (Alienware AW2725DF) as static menus also flicker with VRR/Freesync turned on when playing on PC. It's gone now anyway, and the only thing that's changed is today's firmware update!

Max Wright @maxlwright.com · 10/09/2026
When I started a Switch 2 game, the flicker would go away (even on the home screen) but Metroid Prime Remastered was particularly bad, due to all the dark areas. Not sure if this is a known Switch 2 issue, but I'm glad I don't have to force HDR anymore.

Max Wright @maxlwright.com · 10/09/2026
Hi John, it seems like the VRR update has completely removed the flicker I was getting in non-HDR games on my OLED panel, in dark/black areas or menus (plus the consoles home screen) I used to have to force HDR on all software to stop the constant VRR flicker, but now it seems like it's gone.

Buying the Metroid Ravenous special edition and Amiibo was the most stressful videogame purchasing experience I've had since... Metroid Dread's special edition & amiibo.
