As the anticipation builds for the upcoming Switch 2 Direct, many are finding ways to pass the time with gaming. Ollie Reynolds, a staff writer, is delving into Faith: The Unholy Trinity this weekend, enjoying its retro, eerie atmosphere. He is also considering a nostalgic replay of Pokémon HeartGold, hoping to immerse himself in a Pokémon adventure before the month ends.

Jim Norman, Staff Writer

Jim Norman is attending the Pokémon EUIC, which limits his gaming opportunities. However, he brought his 3DS along with Pokémon X to prepare for some competition, while hoping to log a few StreetPass hits. In the evenings, he and his partner are working through It Takes Two, nearing the finale of their cooperative experience.

After clearing several titles recently, Gonçalo Lopes is eager to start fresh games. He plans to dive into FANTASIAN Neo Dimension ahead of the release of Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition. He enjoyed Guns of Fury, which combines elements of Metal Slug with metroidvania gameplay. His current highlight is Stories from Sol: The Gun-Dog, a title that resonates with his admiration for anime and sci-fi narratives.

Gavin Lane, Editor

Editor Gavin Lane is in the final stages of Metal Gear Solid and aims to complete it over the weekend. Having revisited some classic Retronauts podcasts, he feels the urge to replay Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, a favorite from his childhood that he never fully finished. He has access to it on both Steam and his Wii disc.
