The onslaught of games is chanting in the distance, and we've got a look ahead with some talk about Assassin's Creed Shadows. But it turns out the future is already here, as we talk about why you specifically shouldn't buy or feel bad about being unable to buy an RTX 5090, how good Ninja Gaiden 2 Black is, Star Wars Outlaws, Marvel Rivals, and more, plus we read some of your emails. This week's music: Beth Gibbons - Floating on a moment

This week we're all atwitter (abluesky?) about the Switch 2 and talk a lot about what we thought, what we still don't know, and speculate a lot about a very possibly stacked first year for Nintendo's upcoming handheld - plus we talk about The Roottrees are Dead, Heroes of Hammerwatch, and a lot more. This week's music: Gravecreeper - The Black Curtain
