Progress Report July/August 2023

Miss us? Summer only lasts so long and some of us need our holidays. 2023 continued to deliver swathes of new Switch titles with Pikmin 4 and a remast-... what? It’s a port? Well if you say so… Ahem, a re-release of Rockstar’s western classic: Red Dead Redemption.

Progress Report June 2023

Wooooooahhh we’re halfway thereeee… 🎶 No matter how the year has gone so far, the midpoint always feels weird. Wasn’t it like January a couple weeks ago? Compared to May, while no genre-defining blockbusters graced us with their presence, Pikmin fans had a demo to sink their teeth into,

Progress Report May 2023

May we offer you a progress report this fine month? Tears were shed, monarchies were restored, and we’ve seen a fully functional, multi-stage detachable dropship, complete with cruise missile systems and meat grill in a Zelda game. Truly, nature is healing. If you hadn’t already guessed, this month

Progress Report February 2023

Bye-bye February, you won’t be missed. Does anyone actually like it? Short, cold and dark. Maybe if you live in an upside down part of the world you disagree, but you’d still be wrong! February marked a couple of exciting events in the lives of Nintendo fans: a

Progress Report January 2023

Gather back round the fire for another month. This time you can tell us all about your resolutions, both ongoing and already failed. Compared to 2022 with Legends Arceus, January was far less hectic. Fire Emblem: Engage being playable on day 1 meant that there wasn’t a need for

Progress Report October 2022

Just like the nine months before it; October has slid gently into the rearview mirror and, by our estimates, shouldn’t be closer than it appears for at least another year. NieR, Persona, Bayonetta, and a new contender for the coveted “why did this get a sequel?” award: Mario + Rabbids!

Progress Report September 2022

September's report? You’re trying to tell me we just hit the 75% mark on the year? Madness. This month marked not only the turn from summer to autumn and some major world events but, most importantly of course, the launch of Splatoon 3. With the holiday season fast approaching,

Progress Report April 2022

April… a month deriving from the Latin word ‘aperire’ or ‘to open’. How does this relate to Switch emulation? You can probably think of a few metaphors, but honestly I just thought it sounded kinda interesting. This month we’re covering some major changes and also a pretty meaty section
