Weirdly, Mirage is getting a free update later this year, adding a new story chapter and a whole new city.

Seems very odd to be updating the last-but-one entry in a series, over two years since release, especially since it was a stop-gap entry in the first place, but I'll take free DLC I guess.

It's on Game Pass now too if anyone hasn't tried it.

There are two EDF games on Switch: World Brothers and World Brothers 2. I think possibly also a couple of games that are only out in Japan. The whole series confuses me though so I have no idea whether those are good ones or not.

We spent an enjoyable couple of hours playing Soul Calibur 2 on the GameCube emulator the other night, that really holds up well. Shame half the characters are locked behind the single-player mode though, that feels like a chore given that we just want to beat each other up in versus mode.

Been playing this over the last few days (just got the second Bananza form) and you guys have said pretty much everything I was going to say about it. It's technically quite shonky, it has the worst camera I've seen for a while, and the close FOV gives me mild motion sickness if I play it for too long - but it is an incredibly fun game that never lingers on anything for any length of time and is constantly pushing you forward to new insanities. It doesn't feel like it's a classic in the Mario Odyssey vein, and it has the faint whiff of launch title about it, but honestly we don't get enough 3D platformers these days and I'm enjoying the hell out of this one.

Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance has been confirmed as one of the next few games out, alongside Luigi's Mansion, Mario Sunshine and a couple of Pokemon things. It's nice to see them getting a couple of the rarer titles in there, both Fire Emblem and Chibi-Robo have been the domain of scalpers for years.

Chibi-Robo is coming to Switch Online in a few days. I've never played it but I know Brian always spoke highly of it. Looking forward to giving it a go.

The GameCube emulation is low-key one of the best reasons to own a Switch 2. They've passed the point where these games feel retro, they're just great games and they're "free" (if you have an online subscription) right there on your console. Wind Waker, F-Zero, Soul Calibur 2, Mario Strikers and now this.
