    Digital Down-Low for 11/05/2022: Well, this *certainly* isn't going to help Joycon Drift

    Well, if you're reading this thread today, that means you weren't eaten by a Dracula or Frankenstein last night. Good on ya! So we're starting off with games that escaped my notice last week, and which DEFINITELY should have gotten mentioned because they were perfect for Pumpkin Day, but...

    Digital Down-Low for 10/28/2022: Demons are a Ghouls Beast Fiend

    Hello BOILS, GHOULS, and all the Non-BOOnary creeple of Stalking SLIME. It’s your old FIEND, STALKtopus SLIME, and I’m dead set on telling you all about this weeks BOOest Video SLAYmes, now available in the eCHOP on your Nintendo Witch or SLAYstation or XBoox. We’ve got some real Video NASTIES...

    Digital Down-Low for 10/21/2022: Lapin the 3rd

    I don't care how much photographic evidence you can bring that says otherwise; I simply do not believe Mickey Mouse is real. The whole idea is preposterous. Kicking a tree and watching a beehive fall out and chasing me all over the yard this week is our latest N64 release for Nintendo Switch...

    Digital Down-Low for 10/14/2022: The Midnight Hour Is Close At Hand

    What's the statute of limitations on Hamburgling? Can he finally reveal his identity without risking persecution? And speaking of Hamburgling, our first game this week is about its closest neighbor in terms of larceny; Regular Burgling! And that means Kamiwaza: Way of the Thief! Which is a...

    Digital Down-Low for 10/07/22: All Bots Go To Heaven

    Don't tell anyone else, but I think you're my favorite person who reads these threads. So we're kicking things off with a few things that escapedmy notice in recent weeks, partly because a bunch made me go "Oooooh" and because this weeks actual new releases are high in quality, not quantity...

    Digital Down-Low for 09/30/2022: Oh The Little Critters of Nature, They Don't Know That They're Ugly.

    What's the correct way to eat a candle? Big bites, like an apple, or nibbling on the side type-writer style like with corn on the cob? Speaking personally, I feel like it's best to kick off this weeks thread with The Spirit and the Mouse, on the grounds that it is the first game I am aware of...

    Digital Down-Low for 09/24/2022: You thought the title would be Shovel Knight, but it was ME, DIOFIELD!

    Apparently, Nintendo decided to celebrate my Birthday by releasing a boatload of video games for me to purchase. Thanks, Nintendo. I'm poor, now. Gonna kick things off with, what in any other week, would easily be the headlining #1 with a bullet release, but is, not because of the sheer density...

    Digital Down-Low for 09/16/2022: The Heart of the Cards

    If I timed this correctly, I'll have this thread posted minutes before a Nintendo Direct airs that will likely invalidate it. The sacrifices I make for you people... Kicking things off with something announced a few scant weeks ago, and apparently developed in a rush, is the latest Voice of...

    Digital Down-Low for 09/09/2022: Splarootin, Splatootin, and always be Splashootin'

    Happy Wednesday, friends. Frenzday. Kicking in your front door and drunkenly demanding "WHERE"S MY MONEY" this week is Disney Dreamlight Valley, which, I *think* is Animal Crossing, except with Oswald the Lucky Rabbit and Randy Quaid from Home on the Range instead of Tom Nook or Brewster. And...

    Digital Down-Low for 09/02/2022: Don’t just Cow *a* bunga, cow EVERY bunga!

    I hope you didn’t like your wallet, because this week is going to destroy it. First, and arguably most significantly, is this weeks headliner; Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection a collection of not one, not two but THIRTEEN TMNT games from the 8 and 16 bit eras; which was...

    Digital DOwn-Low for 08/26/2022: WOW! Cool Robot!

    I like to think this is the... third best thread made this week So we're kicking things off with a surprise release from last week that is a big deal in the circles that chomp at the bit for such a thing; Lair Land Story, which is in the Princess Maker vein, but also it's a visual novel in the...

    Digital Down-Low for 08/20/2022: Someone Left a Kirb Out in the Rain

    Talk to your kids about the importance of eating batteries. So the first thing worth commenting on this week is the sequel to an oft-forgot and *pretty slick* Zeld-em-up that slipped through the cracks. AND NOW IT HAS A SEQUEL! Take THAT, Haters! It's Blossom Tales 2: The Minotaur Prince. From...

    Digital Down-Low for 08/13/2022: Doc Hopper Fled Across the Desert, and the Frogslinger Followed

    Well, look who the cat dragged in! So I skipped last week by merit of there being only one game worth commenting on (and then a couple of stealth releases after the fact), but this week doesn’t have that issue so I can mention it now! And it is Frogun! Which is to say “A Gun That is a Frog” and...

    Digital Down-Low for 07/29/2022: Time to Be Feeling Jokers

    Happy Shark Week to one and all! Kicking things off with the stealth update to NESflix last week, and it's... a real contender for being the most implausible update the service has had yet. ANd I know I say that every time, but *man* this is a weird selection; on the NES we have Daiva 6 (which...

    Digital Down-Low for 07/22/2022: Life and Death

    Keep your grades up and stay hydrated when you read this weeks thread and you can have one video game for dessert. Leading things off with a sneak release from last week, we’ve got the most recent N64 release for Switch Online; Pokémon Puzzle League! Which, y’know, is Panel de Pon, but with...

    Digital Down-Low for 07/14/2022: Clever Spiders...

    Personally, I don't see what the big deal is about moss. Why all the hubbub? So why don't we ease into things with a game about one of the animals people are most likely to describe as "good at jumping", the humble Frog. BY WHICH I MEAN, Time on Frog Island! Based on the trailer, it seems that...
  17. Octopus Prime

    Digital Down-Low for 07/11/2022: The Ur-Meme

    Not gonna lie; kind of tempted to just sit this week out, as it is *scanty* First, and by far the most significant, the Switch Online service updated and correspondingly, we have an update to Genesflix; which came out of nowhere and contains four games; all of which are genuine surprises...

    Digital Down-Low for 07/01/22: A Friendly Game about Pals bein' Buds

    Okay... so... there's a Direct scheduled for the middle of me writing this post. Which is *for once* excellent timing because it means it won't be outdated the same day as I make it. Just gonna sit here, finger hovering over the Post Thread button, waiting for me to know what I missed. And it's...

    Digital Down-Low for 06/24/2022: Blue Streak, Scrap Brain, Can't Lose

    You want to know what kind of week this is? The thing in the headline is a collection of games I love greatly, some of which I haven't touched in years, and it doesn't even crack my top five On the subject of what DOES crack my top five for this week alone, we have three of them helpfully...

    Digital Down-Low for 06/17/2022: Rehashing the 90s is cool, but rude

    Kicking things off with one of the few games I determined to be "worth commenting on" and NOT based on an existing property this week, we have Lumbear Jack, which fits into the same niche as Untitled Goose Game or Donut County; where an adorable varmint (in this case, a bear) wreaks calamitous...
