Yesterday’s anniversary
Just wanted to point out that Sunday is the eighth anniversary of the reveal of the Nintendo Switch, which will mean it’ll be eight in March. But as of today, we’ve know about the Switch for exactly eight years and one day. So, I guess Nintendo weren’t as crazy as everyone thought, when they originally said the console would last for 10 years.
Knowing that now is when it was announced makes me feel old but other than that I’m not sure what else we can draw from it. As has been pointed out, Nintendo had nothing to lose, in terms of putting people off buying the Wii U, so it didn’t matter that they announced it just before Christmas. This year is very different though and with the Switch still selling I just cannot believe that anything other than January/February makes sense.
But who knows, I certainly wouldn’t put money on any particular prediction. But I do think all this speculation is already helping Nintendo. People are excited and interested to know what the new console is even before Nintendo has said a word or shown a thing. It does make you think though, to go from the Wii U to the Switch is some whiplash. Eight years later and it’s one of the top three selling consoles of all time.

Breath of Evil
100% agree that Resident Evil 5 is grossly underrated, and I would definitely welcome a remake. I think it’s likely too, based on the fact that Capcom are running out of other things to do and the whole portrayal of Africa could definitely do with a rethink.
If and when that will happen I don’t know but I definitely hope that Resident Evil 9 will have co-op. All the rumours about an open world though, make me think that’s not all that likely. My guess is that it’s going to be Capcom trying to do Zelda: Breath Of The Wild but with Resident Evil.
I have no reason to think that, expect a hunch, but I demand royalties if I happen to be right. My preference though would be something much more tightly designed, where you can play with multiple people at once, maybe something a bit more like Dark Souls. Although I guess I’ll take Elden Ring as a compromise!

Silent Hills VR
It’s finally the Season of the Witch. I’ve tried to parry many hopes of not doing it but I’m going to do it. The P.T. VR re-do on PlayStation Dreams in VR (Shout out to Dr Joness, Ape monkey, Lampaulmorgan, and the crew).
I’m feeling verily enriched for some PlayStation VR1 action. I’ve promised myself Moss: Book 2 as a palette cleanser. Shenanigans that entail… I just can’t wait to get into …read more
