Our first hands-on impressions of Mega Man: Dual Override
Posted on 11 hours ago by Richard Ford in Previews, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Mega busters at the ready, because the super fighting robot Mega Man is back in mainline classic action after almost a decade sitting on the sidelines, and he’s got a few new tricks up his sleeve this time around. The initial reveal of Mega Man: Dual Override during The Game Awards last year had me jumping and sliding with excitement, and the more of the game that was getting teased in the intervening months had only heightened that hype. At Gamescom this year, I got to sit down with the game for an hour and really get into the nitty gritty of what makes this new Blue Bomber title unique compared to other entries in the series. Thoughts?

We got a first look at Stellar Blade on Nintendo Switch 2, here are our thoughts
Posted on 17 hours ago by Richard Ford in Previews, Switch 2 | 0 comments
I can’t speak for others, but it really caught me off-guard with how big a splash Stellar Blade made when it launched back in 2024. It felt like the game came out of left field and immediately built a large fanbase, sold brilliantly well, and led to a sequel getting put into production quite rapidly afterwards. Stellar Blade was a really graphically intense video game, however, so it wasn’t able to make it to Nintendo Switch players’ hands. Well, I’m happy to say that the version of Stellar Blade for Nintendo Switch 2 I played at Gamescom 2026 was a very strong, competent port that is of comparable quality to other versions already released.
Inside a booth at Gamescom, I found myself sat at a table with ShiftUp’s DongKi Lee opposite me, a translator sat to my left. In the middle of the small table between was an undocked Nintendo Switch 2 with Stellar Blade booted up. As I played the game, Mr. Lee would provide some tips and tricks for me after learning I hadn’t played the game previously.
