    Digital Down-Low for 10/16/2026: HHHHHHHWHUT ARE YA CURSIN'?

    Kicking off with something that slipped through the cracks last week, but which fits with this weeks theme of being primarily Spooky Game focused; Silver Pines a spook-troidvania where you're a private detective on the trail of a missing person who had the misfortune to get lost in a Silent...

    Digital Down-Low for 10/09/2026: We Live Our Life Simple And Clean And Fire All our Laser Beams

    Oh geez, okay... get comfortable and maybe make yourself a hot drink; this thread is going to take a while. Kicking things off with a Switch 2 upgrade for a Switch 1 release, thankfully with a free upgrade path, and it's Epic Mickey Rebrushed, a gussied up remake of what is widely considered to...

    Digital Down-Low for 10/02/2026: Those Who Witch Last, Witch Best

    Kicking off with some games that got some brand new upgraded Switch 2 editions; Octopath Traveler and Octopath Traveler 2, which is *great* if you have a Switch 2 and have not purchased those games before; since while they're two fantastic games that are responsible for the trend of HD2D RPGs...

    Digital Down-Low for 09/18/2026: Weavin' and Grievin'

    I'm just going to start filling my wallet with moths now... So we're kicking things off with a surprise Switch 2 release for a Switch 1 game! Albeit one without an upgrade path; it's Crisis Core: Final Fantasy Reunion! The gussied up remake of the PSP prequel to FF7, and which, itself, was a...

    Digital Down-Low for 09/11/2026: You Liked Them Before, You'll Love Them Again!

    Now, there are two Directs scheduled for this week, but this is the only day I have free to make the thread, so I fully expect to be provn a fool for my impatience. Let that be a lesson; Always Procrastinate. Cracking off this week with three new Switch 1 games that got Switch 2 upgrades...

    Digital Down-Low for 09/04/2026: A Tale of Swords and Souls

    What better way to commemorate the end of Summer than with a game that combines an incredible fantasy adventure with the drudgery of working retail? NOTHING, THAT'S WHAT! And to that end, we have Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault! The sequel to indie gem which was *itself* titled Moonlighter! As...
  7. Octopus Prime

    Digital Down-Low for 08/29/26: Tarnished Gear

    Well, I hope you didn’t *need* that wallet because this week might destroy it. Kicking things off with a couple of games that got surprise Switch 2 upgrades last week, and they’re both Critter Based Zeldos with punishing difficulty curves! Pipistello and the Cursed Yo-yo gets a far less...
  8. Octopus Prime

    Digital Down-Low for 08/21/2026: A Week of Surprise Sequels!

    I think this is the last week of new releases that doesn't want to destroy your wallet for the rest of the year. And even then... it's not exactly empty. So we're kicking things off with some stuff that was secretly snuck out last week after I finished making that thread, and normally I would...
  9. Octopus Prime

    Digital Down_Low for 08/14/2026: I Herd You Liek Mudkrabs

    Kicking off with one of the big dog Switch releases of the month, The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Remastered! Bethesda has broken incredible, innovative new ground by *not* re-releasing Skyrim again and instead remembered that there are in fact, other games in the series they could be remastering...

    Digital Down-Low for 08/07/2026: I wish there was some video game that was free up through the Heavensward Expansion.

    This here is another week where the thread is being written on my iPad instead of my laptop, so you can bet your sweet bippy we’re going to have some spelling and formatting errors I miss. Well, if you’re anything like me, you’re possibly fond of the Final Fantasy series. And if you’re *not*...
  11. Octopus Prime

    Digital Down-Low for 07/30/2026: Heart Attacks

    Just being on vacation is no reason to shirk my video game chores. Also, typing this on my iPad, so it’s safe to say we’ll be enjoying some spelling and formatting errors with this one. So we’re kicking things off this week with the latest Switch 1 game to get a Switch 2 upgrade, Xenoblade...
  12. Octopus Prime

    Digital Down-Low for 07/24/2026: Splatoot, Shoot 'n Boogy

    We're kicking things off this week with what's likely to be the Big Dog release for pretty much anyone reading this thread; Splatoon Raiders! A single-player focused spinoff of the Splatoon series! From the trailer, it's hard to determine if this is a a greatly expanded single-player adaptation...
  13. Octopus Prime

    Digital Down-Low for 07/17/2026: Haste The Trainbow

    HASTE THE TRAINBOW We're kicking things off with this weeks big-dawg release; the relentlessly frenetic Hedgehog-em-up Train game; Densha Attack! You've got to prove yourself you're the fastest damn conductor in the shady world of underground train-racing where the only rule is "Survive" and...

    Digital Down-Low for 07/10/2026: Groove is Where the Heart Is

    There wasnt enough last week to warrant a thread, but with this week we have enough Stuff to Talk About! Also, I have to make this thread on my iPad so expect more spelling and formatting errors than usual. C’est la vie. And that means starting with last weeks Big release, Rhythm Heaven Groove...
  15. Octopus Prime

    Digital Down-Low for 06/26/2026: They see me Barrel Rollin', they Barrel Hatin'

    Well, if your wallet survived last week, I'm pretty sure this week will finish it off. So gonna kick things off with some games getting Switch 2 upgrades this week and they're... pretty modest upgrades this time, everyones favorite dice-based survival-themed sci-fi RPGs about sad, sad robots...
  16. Octopus Prime

    Digital Down-Low for 05/29/2026: The Legend of Nimh

    So we're kicking things off with something that I skipped last week assuming it wasn't worth commenting on, but apparently it's got people talking, so I bring it up now; Rune Dice, a roguelite dice-em-up that I assumed was "Basically Slice & Dice, or perhaps Dicey Dungeons", though on closer...
  17. Octopus Prime

    Digital Down-Low for 05/22/2026: The Mighty Steed

    So we're kicking off with the big dog this week, and by dog, I of course, mean horse. In honor of the 40th anniversary of Super Mario Brothers we're getting a brand new Yoshi game! Which... feels like a bit of a thematic misfire, but I sure as heck ain't complaining. Yoshi and the Mysterious...
  18. Octopus Prime

    Digital Down-Low for 05/15/2026: Indie Darlings

    Well I skipped last weeks thread on the grounds that there wasn't enough to warrant a thread, but one of the things that was released and DID warrant some chatter is Mixtape, which... I probably would have disregarded for myself on the grounds that is clearly a game that is Not For Octo, but BY...
  19. Octopus Prime

    Digital DOwn-Low for 05/01/2026: Spring is in the R

    Kicking things off with a couple of surprise Switch 2 updates that snuck out last week, Lorelai and the Laser Eyes, the walky spooky puzz-em-up that I infer is like a combination of Resident Evil and The Seventh Guest doesn't really benefit so much from the upgrade but the rhythm based score...
  20. Octopus Prime

    Digital Down-Low for 04/24/2026: Alu-cards

    Well, we're going to lead with strength this week as we've got one of the games I'm most excited for not only this month, but this entire year; Vampire Crawlers: The Turbo Wildcard! Which is a spin-off of the genre-making, indie-darling and potential epilepsy trigger Vampire Survivors. A game...
