After just one week at no.1, Donkey Kong Bananza has been dethroned by Mario Kart World in the latest UK retail chart. This shouldn’t be a huge surprise considering MKW is the Switch 2’s pack-in and Bananza’s glowing reviews will have attributed to an increase in console sales. Making way for Mario, Donkey Kong Bananza …
The summer releases show no signs of slowing, with a few more sizzlers lined up for this week. Survival adventure sequel Grounded 2 is about to come out the woodwork, developed by Obsidian with help from Eidos Montréal.

At a time when video game pricing and preservation are making headlines, it’s refreshing to see a publisher putting out a modestly priced new release that’s available both digitally and at retail on day one. It isn’t as if we’ve seen many single-player first-person shooters of late either, with DOOM: The Dark Ages, Atomfall, and …
It’s the busiest week for the Switch 2 since launch, with four new games due. In a year from now this amount will seem laughable, but as time machines are yet to exist, here we are. The timing is however questionable as Donkey Kong Banaza doubtlessly has Switch 2 owners entranced. 2023’s Wild Hearts gains …

Despite having a small userbase, the Switch 2 has dominated the UK retail chart throughout this summer, with Mario Kart World claiming five (non-consecutive) no.1s. The console’s reign continues this week, with new release Donkey Kong Bananza topping the all formats top 40. This shouldn’t come as much of a surprise considering Switch games are …
So far this summer we’ve been spoilt for new releases. Like a party host with a fresh tray of Ferrero Rocher, we’re continued to be spoilt, with this week offering up another bunch of delectable treats.

Contrary to popular belief, the humble SEGA Game Gear had more to offer than just Master System spillover, significantly scaled down Mega Drive conversions, and a bunch of licensed games of varying quality.
