Yes, I did spend 3 hours last night doing nothing but a side/minigame thing in Yakuza Kiwami 2. I have no regrets.

Played Mario Kart World online, Rainbow Road available, some in the lobby did not pick Rainbow Road. What is the world coming to...

Back from an extensive hiatus to say happy Metroid Prime 4 day! Super excited but can't play until Friday night, and in terms of the 'discourse', it just reminded me why I don't spend much time on social media any more. My take is basic, chill and find joy in games, that's why they exist.

Incredible, congrats to everyone (past and present) from Nintendo Life. I definitely owe my career to the site and its Triforce of creators; here's to the next 20 years.

No way I'm doing a system transfer from my Switch OLED, it would take ages and I feel like playing the 'faithful' port of Metal Gear Solid on Switch 2 would be somewhat missing the point (that is legit what I'm playing on Switch this week while waiting for 2/MK World).

If you have ever felt that 200cc in Mario Kart 8/Deluxe is much faster than it should be, your suspicions are correct. Based on the formula followed by the other engine classes, the speed the game pretends is 200cc is actually 415cc instead.

In Mario Kart 8/Deluxe, 200cc feels much
faster compared to 150cc than 150cc does
compared to 100cc. This is because it actually
is about 38% faster than it should be based
on the ratio between top speed and class
as established by 50cc, 100cc and 150cc.
If the formula established by the other
engine classes is followed to calculate
the engine class that 200cc should be
based on its top speed, then the result
indicates that the true engine class the
game claims is 200cc is actually 415cc.

Nintendo probably should make a bigger deal of the fact they're giving a dozen games free performance enhancements on Switch 2. Just a thought (personally hyped to revisit Bowser's Fury)!

Surprised at some of the negativity about the Mario Kart Direct. It was a short presentation of the game, it did the thing. Not sure what people expected, overexcited because of the 'Direct' branding I suppose.

My second Cubs home opener in a row (sorry to the dudes that turned around right on the pic). Very excited and lucky to be here.

Thomas Whitehead @thomasbw84.bsky.social · 04/04/2025

There are some imperfect parallels to 3DS, too (though it lacked the strong launch game offerings imo of Switch 2). Nintendo got super confident after DS, the majority noped out of the hardware price and post-launch sales tanked, prompting a significant year 1 discount. Now it's software prices.

Thomas Whitehead @thomasbw84.bsky.social · 04/04/2025

I'm genuinely unsure whether Nintendo will be able to push ahead with its Switch 2 pricing and succeed, or if the extensive online response will have a meaningful impact. We've seen this kind of reaction before but these are particularly turbulent times. Comparisons to '90s irrelevant too, I think.

Mini game update, picked up Star Wars: Dark Forces Remaster on Switch because I loved the sequels in the past and heard that Nightdive did a great job and... yeah it's the good stuff. Full of nostalgia but looks and plays beautifully, an awesome discovery for me!

Monster Hunter Wilds is a very good video game (with some weird mechanics and design choices, even by MH standards!)

I will never agree with the 'I won't spoil the dev's reveal but here's what they'll reveal' school of journalism. I understand the challenges and needs behind it, but it frustrates me greatly.

I've been off social media for a while so, um, gaming update? I recently finished Metal Gear Solid V (again), ending my full lore series playthrough of the past few months. Quite a memorable ride playing most of those games for the first time, excited for the Snake Eater re-release later this year!

Thomas Whitehead @thomasbw84.bsky.social · 16/01/2025

I quite liked the Switch 2 first look, Joy-Con design is nice (please have reliable sticks!) and it looks clean. Intrigued to see what they do in April, struck me as an effort to show as little as possible while getting it 'out there'. Pleased with the simple name + confirmed backward compatibility.

Thomas Whitehead @thomasbw84.bsky.social · 16/01/2025

I see Nintendo released the low key 'stop leaking rubbish and no, it's not out in April' Switch 2 video. Good stuff.

Thomas Whitehead @thomasbw84.bsky.social · 10/01/2025

Started Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker HD, interesting and really establishes the approach seen later in Phantom Pain. Bit weird when a big fight was about to start and it cut to 'continues in next mission' (oh, Kojima-san...), but otherwise good stuff so far!
