    Digital Down-Low for 07/04/2025: Jump Men Can’t Kick

    Happy Canada Day to everyone north of Maine; make sure you salute every Maple Tree you see and give a ha’penny to your local Zamboni driver. Luckily the good people at Video Games acknowledged it’s a holiday so they gave me a reduced workload this week, but we do have some corkers, and one of...

    Digital Down-Low for 06/27/2025: Your Package Is Out For Delivery

    Well, the calender has flipped over to "Summer" which means it's so friggin' hot that you may well turn to ash if you so much as look out a window, so why not instead stay inside and enjoy some new games for the Video Fan in your life? And speaking of not wanting to go outside and over-relying...

    Digital Down-Low for 06/20/2025: Love is in the Air. And on the floor, and the walls. And in most of the electric outlets...

    Sometimes the thread titles write themselves And why keep you in suspense for what it would possibly refer to? The big name release this week is the aptly named Date Everything, a dating sim that brings bold new interpretation to the concept of being pansexual. It's a romance-em-up where...

    Digital Down-Low for 06/13/25: Die or Be Killed

    So… last week was pretty robust, eh? Going to skip over the top shelf launch titles, your Mario Karts, Yakuzas, Street Fighters, and your Cyberpunks and just focus on the stuff that got lost in the shuffle of the Launch. Also I do not know which of these are not playable on the Switch 1...

    Digital Down-Low for 06/06/25: Children of Rune

    Well interesting challenge this week; nominally these threads exist to help separate the wheat from the chaff in the eShop each week and since the Switch 2 is about 35 hours from release as of this writing that's where most of the new releases are and that is, for now, entirely Wheat. Plus I...

    Digital Down-Low for 05/30/2025: CRITTER CRISIS!

    I don't think it's fair for this week to be so chock-full of stuff I want to play given what next week looks like... Kicking a hole in your drywall and throwing an occupied beehive into it this week is Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo, a game that looks at The Legend of Zelda and says "What if...
  7. Octopus Prime

    Digital Down-Low for 05/25/2025: We're On the Case, and We're Chasing Her Through History

    I hope you're ready to learn all about the incredible new Video Entertainment Games! Kicking things off this week with one of them video games that I didn't think would ever actually come out, but here it is; finally being released; Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time, the long awaited...
  8. Octopus Prime

    Digital Down-Low for 05/16/2025: MILLIONAIRE FIGHTING

    Okay, let's see what old Uncle Nintendo has on tap this week So putting our weird, flappiest foot forward with the least interseting new game this week; Yasha: Legends of the Demon Blade, which appears to be a Hades, except set in Feudal japan with a heap load of yokai to pound the bajeezus out...
  9. Octopus Prime

    Digital Down-Low for 05/08/2025: May the Spathe Be With You

    One must imagine Super Mario happy. So we're kicking things off not with a tip of the hat, but a wag of the finger as the first thing listed this week is High on Life. A space-shippy FPS with a goofball sense of humor where you're a guy with a bunch of talking guns who have to overthrow a Space...
  10. Octopus Prime

    Digital Down-Low for 04/25/2025: Critters and Kids on Grids

    What? Do you think they can put a game on video? Quit your day-dreaming, melon-head! Kicking off with something that assuredly speaks to some of the folk reading this we've got Old Skies, a Point and Clicky Doctor Who-em-up adventure game set in the far flung future, and also 100 years ago...
  11. Octopus Prime

    Digital Down-Low for 04/18/2025: SCREW THE MOON!

    I understand all the other numbers, but I never really got twenty-one, you know? Okay, I skipped last week as I was under the impression that there tweren't nothing worth talking about. Then reality said "I think you will find otherwise!" so we're playing catch up this week, so buckle up. And...
  12. Octopus Prime

    Digital Down-Low for 04/04/2025: A Froyo for Frollo

    Okay, there's another Nintendo Direct scheduled for tomorrow, but I'll take it on good faith that nothing on it will include things that should have been added to this list. And that's at least partly because we're kicking off with stuff that was in the Nintendo Direct *last week* and thus had...
  13. Octopus Prime

    Digital Down-Low for 04/01/1991: Jump, if you're feeling froggy

    I hope that the rest of 1991 is as great as the first quarter of it was! That's right, it's spring of 1991 and what says "Spring" more than a frog? That's right, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have had their time in the sun and now it's the 90s and it's time for the Battletoads! It's usually...
  14. Octopus Prime

    Digital Down-Low for 03/28/2025: Drinking the Haterade

    Not to brag, but, yeah... I know the *whole* alphabet. So we're kicking off with what's certainly the game I'm most excited for this week, and which I didn't realize was out this month; Gal Guardians: Servants of the Dark, the sequel to Gal Guardians! That game, as you may recall, was a spinoff...
  15. Octopus Prime

    Digital Down-Low for 03/21/2025: Open World, Mobile Suits, Can't Lose

    You know, I've held my tongue on this for long enough; there's enough girls with dragon tattoos that "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" is *not* a helpful descriptor in and of itself. And speaking of MURDER MOST FOUL (and usually the non-seqiuitor I start these threads with has no bearing on...
  16. Octopus Prime

    Digital Down-Low for 03/14/2025: Humans have Always Been Fascinated by Apes

    Like millions of others, I consider Popeye to be an emotional bulwark in the turbulence of life. So we're kicking off with Beyond the Ice Palace 2, which, as the title suggests, is a sequel to Beyond the Ice Palace. Which, I have never heard of, but apparently was a PC Castlevania-em-up from...
  17. Octopus Prime

    Digital Down-Low for 03/07/2025: Woah, there's got to be, like, 18-dozen Stars of Destiny here!

    They're right; this deodorant smells *exactly* like sports. We're kicking things off with one of those games that makes me cognizant of my backlog; Everhood 2. I bought the original several years ago based on positive word of mouth and it looking Undertale *enough* while doing its own thing...
  18. Octopus Prime

    Digital Down-Low for 02/28/2025: Book 'em, Ninpo

    Now, I have been making these threads for... over 15 years now. And I try to use a unique forced pun or reference as the title in every one of them. And for all of that time I have had one thought "Man, some day, Ninja Five-O is going to ge re-released, and I'm going to title the thread 'Book...
  19. Octopus Prime

    Digital Down-Low for 02/21/2025: Astrogue

    Do you think Super Mario holds a regular 9-5 job? So we're kicking off with some of the SECRET SURPRISE releases from last week and one of them... came out on every other platform some time ago, but now it's Switches time to shine with the last word in Weird Botanical Bio-Horror Metroidvania...
  20. Octopus Prime

    Digital Down-Low for 02/07/2025: Baba IS Yetu

    Hot take; but I like it when a big laser makes a big ol foghorn noise rather than a PEWPEW noise. We're kicking things off with a *secret surprise* game that snuck in last week. Technically there's a few of those, but there's only one I'm excited about and the others are further down the list...
