The Nintendo Switch 2 was revealed almost two weeks ago and I’ve been slowly looking at various parts of the user interface thanks to the Nintendo Switch 2 home screen and the Nintendo Switch 2 website in both the US and Japan. Nintendo Switch 2 Home Screen The most interesting thing ever is definitely the home screen. It’s pretty similar to the original Nintendo Switch, but the game cards are rounded, with some new items along the bottom, and new multi-colored circles around them.

In a speech to the Melbourne Press Club in early April, ABC Chairman Kim Williams said that despite the increase in 2024, ABC funding was “$150 million less than 2013.” “In 2000, ABC funds accounted for 0.31% of federal spending. “Today, it’s about 0.12% and we’re being asked to do more with it.” Opposition leader Peter Dutton foresaw an ABC efficiency review if elected. He couldn’t answer when…

There was a lot of information between Nintendo’s Switch 2 Nintendo Direct last week, so this week Nintendo Director of Mario Kart World lost (or forgot) what’s going on, and hasn’t allowed (or forgot) to reveal any details about the game. I got a small taste of Mario Kart World on Switch 2 Direct.

Savings of sunlight means that this is currently happening…

Development of the R6 eSports in Australia began around 2017, and small community tournaments laid the foundation for ultimately becoming a structured, competitive environment.
