Enough for a few Mushroom Kingdoms. So, you may or may not have been wondering just how big the Nintendo Switch 2's game cartridges are actually going to be, especially now that we know the sizes of the initial line-up of games. Nintendo's first-party launch games are all surprisingly dinky, with Mario Kart World just 23.4GB, and Donkey Kong Bananza a tiny (by modern standards) 10GB. Of course CD Projekt Red's sci-fi behemoth, Cyberpunk 2077, is also set to release on Switch 2, and it's a whole ...

Bungie have released a trailer for a trailer for extraction shooter Marathon. Last week the studio teased the possibility of an announcement with some cryptic tweets.

I'm not sure I've ever played a game with such a panic-induced toilet scene. To a T begins with the young player character waking up in the morning before school and, first things first, needs to use the bathroom. Cue alarm bells, a sprint, and some awkward door opening before sweet relief accompanied by an orchestral chime.

Also, a Fortnite movie apparently isn't in the works. We're not 100% sure you guys are aware, but a little movie called A Minecraft Movie released over the weekend (this writer's kids loved it!) and it's already making quite a splash at the worldwide box office. Yep, the reviews might not be so hot, but none of this is stopping Mojang's multimedia mammoth from rampaging through the movie industry's records like an extra from Jumanji.

If you were wondering whether it’d be possible to ferment foods in space, the answer is apparently yes. In a study published in the journal iScience, researchers from the US and Denmark say they were able to make decent-tasting miso on the International Space Station — but the flavor and smell was distinct from that of miso made on Earth. While it still scored well in the taste tests, with similar ratings to Earth miso in qualities like umami and saltiness, the ISS miso was found to taste nuttie...

When Nintendo launched the Switch in 2017, it had no competition in dedicated handheld gaming, a sector it had established with the Game Boy in 1989 and ruled ever since.
