I think this sums up how a lot of Switch owners feel, given Nintendo’s Pokemon announcement earlier today… I mean, come on. The Switch is the perfect platform for Pokemon, and not the stadium games, but the actual, proper, ‘gotta catch ’em all’ games. Instead, Nintendo are re-releasing previous versions on the 3DS… I mean…… Read more

iGP Manager Round 7 – Turkey
A race that doesn’t exist in F1 anymore, Turkey features a famous and long, fast left-hander as well as several bumpy regions of track. Playing on F1 2009 on the Wii (am I showing my age?), Turkey was a race I quite enjoyed, as it was quite challenging. Practice threw up an odd variable –… Read more

iGP Manager – Round 6: Monaco
Apologies readers, for this review is a little later than planned (life interferes sometimes!). Monaco, the land of glitz and glamour (albeit not for us players!) brought a second consecutive win for G Papandreou of Mopar. The surge in teams getting competitive for wins and podiums is a sign of how good this league is… Read more

iGP Manager Round 5 – Spain
The European leg of the season begins with Spain! This was yet another poor race for me – the hard tyre let me down and my cars were too heavy, leading to yet another failure to score points or hit my target. Cest la vie. It was however an interesting race in other ways, featuring… Read more

iGP Manager Round 4 – Bahrain
Hot and dusty Bahrain was the venue for round four of the championship, and given the heat, tyres would take a serious punishment here. Harder compounds would fare better (at least, in theory), staying cooler in the intense temperatures. Nonetheless, short stints on the soft tyre were in order for several teams, and I used… Read more

iGP Manager Round 3 – China
A double-header today, as I didn’t get around to writing up the Chinese GP yesterday. The simple story of the Chinese race would be yet another win for G Thompson of Black Arrows, cementing his place at the top of the standings. Behind him was J Hill of Mopar, scoring the best result of the… Read more

iGP Manager Round 2: Malaysia
Fresh from a reasonable but somewhat stunted start for me personally comes round 2 of the iGP championship. The hot and bumpy venue of Malaysia is where the cars and teams have headed, with the weather pre-race looking set to be dry. Practice… well, see for yourself. Being .758 seconds down on S. Mansell of… Read more

iGP Manager – Round 1: Australia
As explained a little more detail here, I’ve got a game/app that is all about F1 management. These sorts of games have often failed to excite me, so it was nice to find one that is pretty good, offers real-time multiplayer, and even dynamic, real-time weather (if it’s really raining at Silverstone, expect a wet… Read more

Breath of the Wild – the Creatures
Having racked up the hours on Breath of the Wild, and having encountered a great many different things, it’s now time I offer up whatever pearls of wisdom I can muster and present my archive of what’s what. Hopefully this will be of help to future players. It may well be of help to me!… Read more

Oh Nintendo…

Nintendo Online
Whilst I haven’t seen an official confirmation of this, it would seem that Nintendo’s pending online subscription service is going to weigh in at between £14 and £21 per year. This is pretty remarkable, given that Sony and Microsoft charge £39.99 for their annual subscription services. If the £21 a year price is accurate, that’s… Read more
