You should watch this! Virtual Boy is and always has been rad and everyone else is wrong youtu.be/qCt9uDlaLdA?...

So happy loads more people will be able to experience Jack Bros - a proper gem on the Virtual Boy! @daniel.gvg.io and @jon.gvg.io both pitched its revival in the early days of our podcast, maybe if there’s enough interest we’ll finally see a true sequel! youtu.be/_4TSowt0a5c?...

The cardboard Virtual Boy is for cowards. You either go full Virtual Boy or you don't go Virtual Boy at all

Hearing @nantenjex.bsky.social laugh like a lunatic and @jon.gvg.io cheer and *literally applaud* about virtual boy is the absolute best 😂

What you need to understand is Half Life Alyx is like the coolest video game

They make these decisions by asking a magic 8 ball

If they weren't cowards they'd put Rhythm Thief in the Direct

What would you do if Nintendo said take a look at this And it cuts to a hardware breakdown that reveals every unit is rigged to blow What would you do then
Jon Cartwright (@jon.gvg.io)
What would you do if the Direct introduces Aonuma and it cuts to this woman who says thank you I'm Aonuma and announces a new game What would you do then
Jon Cartwright (@jon.gvg.io) reply parent
Bring back the Battle Track from MK7 too, could probably make quite a few new ones

There's no perfect middle ground really, Everybody’s Golf is still the more fun game imo (on PS5) Easy Come Easy Golf is very good too though. It's from Apple Arcade so very mobile menus and the hit windows are very slow too, probably from that mobile design Easy Come is the better Switch one
Jon Cartwright (@jon.gvg.io) reply parent
Sooooorry We could only get an early PS5 code
Jon Cartwright (@jon.gvg.io) reply parent
Lack of Switch 2 version is bonkers
Jon Cartwright (@jon.gvg.io)
Everybody's Golf is 30fps on Switch but that's not really the problem. Most games in the series are 30fps However the power meter has long been a 60fps element...which it isn't anymore? That's all they needed to do to make competent Doesnt help it just runs bad too youtu.be/5sYf4frxUKU
Jon Cartwright (@jon.gvg.io) reply parent
Yep!

It might be the game I'm looking forward to most this year lol

It's very tricky to find, I ended up importing mine from Amazon Spain but apparently Coolshop had (has?) them
Jon Cartwright (@jon.gvg.io) reply parent
Yep! Very good I find the hit meter too slow in that game but everything else is wonderful. If it were made for console from the ground up it would have been exceptional

I always loved Terranigma's snowy forests (with the yetis etc), which inspired this area. By melting the ice, a deadly Ice-Tamanegi becomes a harmless Forest-Tamanegi. What's your favorite ice area in a game?

Supper Mario Broth (@mariobrothblog.bsky.social) reposted
In Super Mario Odyssey, kicking things is Mario's highest priority, overriding all other actions. If a kickable object, such as a football, is thrown at Mario while he is asleep, he will momentarily wake up just to kick it before instantly going back to sleep.

I was inspired by @jon.gvg.io to finally get my CRT out of storage and back into my setup! Light gun games are a lost art and so much fun! Sorry about the frame rate. I somehow managed to match the shutter speed to my CRT (1/50) but stupidly recorded at 24fps. (Warning: Flashing lights.)

Silksong audio design is something else
Jon Cartwright (@jon.gvg.io) reply parent
It's 120 yeah, very evident on the title screen I think people are caught off guard cause the options only has a toggle for TVs but the handheld screen naturally doesn't need a toggle

#Silksong has appeared on piracy websites for PC and r/Piracy is having arguments over pirating it, lmao

Ah missed that, bit less annoying then
Jon Cartwright (@jon.gvg.io) reply parent
Yeah but you cant download a game on one console if it's already installed to another without syncing
Jon Cartwright (@jon.gvg.io) reply parent
Nope! You gotta have the consoles synced first so if it's synced to another you gotta desync with that one and sync with the other
Jon Cartwright (@jon.gvg.io) reply parent
Mitigates it a bit but still need to pair whenever you want to get a new game installed
Jon Cartwright (@jon.gvg.io)
This sucks so much when there are 3 Switch's in your house lol Constantly having to put all 3 next to each other to desync a paring and create a new one

I screwed up with my PAX West 2025 impressions of Star Wars Outlaws. Now that I've returned home and played the game, I've realized just how bad that video was. I've pulled the video and released updated impressions that more accurately reflect the game. Please check it out. youtu.be/twhv8-RHJvw

Yeah, the swing meter is also a lot slower because of mobile roots

on Everybody's Golf Launch day Clap Hanz have updated Easy Come Easy Golf to have a 60fps mode (reaches it on Switch 2) Good game but you can feel it came from Apple Arcade in all its design

The thing that makes me feel the most disconnected with gamers online is that I'm perfectly okay with video games coming out and not getting constant support. In fact most of the time I prefer it

This is not the AI boom creating a new type of work, this is a classic example of managers using automation to deskill old ones. Creative workers who once made a higher wage creating original art and writing are now paid in piecework to edit automated output. Bosses are using AI to cut labor costs.

I reckon they can still make great stuff but dunno if they need to alternate Mario Golf & Mario Tennis forever
