And I'm also still playing Pokemon Platinum on TikTok. I still don't get why people watch this stuff.

I watch/listen to quite a few longplays at work. It's good background noise and helps work to be a little less boring.

Game Under Podcast

I always thought Launchbox was just for emulators. I didn't know it works with Gog and Steam games too. That's cool.

I meant to mention in that article also, that yes Steam will somewhat relunctantly allow you to use their interface to surface games from some of your other storefronts, but they don't populate it with any of the art or metadata the way Launchbox does.  Another cool feature is that it has a "play a random game" like button and it will start a game for you -- lots of other little features too.

That's interesting. I never really considered stuff like that could be background or secondary media. But it does make sense.

Its on Gamepass for Xbox and PC. Microsoft seems to release all of their releases on pc as well as console.  I think it's only Sony that has to wait till next year

As reported by Universo Nintendo, a video game peripheral company called Satisfye has introduced a new product called the ZenGrip 2. Notably, they advertise this grip to be ‘made for next gen console.’

As you may imagine, the ZenGrip already exists, and it’s a cleverly designed peripheral for the Switch. This grip gives players a lower point of contact, to adjust for the lower position of the right analog stick.

Many of the ZenGrip’s features are also on the ZenGrip 2, but again, it’s advertised that this newer grip is for a ‘next-gen console.”

Satisfye has provided this product description of the ZenGrip 2:

“Introducing the All-new ZenGrip 2 Next-Gen Console

Immerse yourself in an evolved ergonomic gaming experience with our innovative Free Float Technology, ensuring your Switch stays cool and scratch-free. Our ‘Perfect Fit’ design is meticulously designed to provide a secure hold. The asymmetrical design compensates for the low position of the right stick for a comfortable, fatigue-reducing gameplay. It distributes the weight in your hands like a traditional console controller, enhancing your gaming endurance. Play longer, play harder, with unparalleled comfort.

The asymmetrical design compensates for the low position of the right stick for a comfortable, fatigue-reducing gameplay. It distributes the weight in your hands like a traditional console controller, enhancing your gaming endurance. Play longer, play harder, with unparalleled comfort.

Key features include:

Dockable Design

Advanced floating design

Full port accessibility and unobstructed cooling

Asymmetric, Ergonomic Correct Hand Placement

Securely Store Up To Two Game Cards

Scratch-Resistant with Perfect Secure Fit

Built-in Vertical Stand with Room to Charge

Comfortable Non-slip Rubberized Grip

Embrace the future of gaming with ZenGrip 2 – tailored for perfect hand positioning and the ultimate gaming experience.”

The ZenGrip 2 is available for pre-order at a price of $ 49.99.

We imagine it won’t be that hard to get this peripheral when the console will have been released, but it’s certainly interesting that pre-orders are out now.

If I was working at Nintendo of America, I would consider giving Satisfye a warning, if not worse. If the company just about skirted the line from confirming the Switch 2 before Nintendo did, it is way too close to that line.

Given the ZenGrip 2 looks nearly identical to the ZenGrip, it supports the theory that the Switch 2 is really not much more than a wider Switch with more powerful hardware. Just last week, we saw several store listings for Switch 2 peripherals from Alibaba.

Did those Alibaba venders embolden Satisfye into revealing their products? Or did Nintendo secretly allow them to reveal their products,

I'm starting to believe that the back plate of Switch 2 has vents that get exposed when docked for a fan to expel hot air.

Maybe the dock won't fully enclose it like the current one.

Slow news day. I figure that's what it will be like for a few weeks.  There will probably be some bad news stories snuck out while no-one is paying attention.

Ubisoft horror stories keep coming out.

Ancel did an interview on how Wild and BGE2 didn't come out. And Ubisoft looks like it may sell off various franchises as they are worth more sold separately.

So switch 2 leaks said it had a U shaped kick stand.

I was suspicious, as the OLED stand is as rigid and perfect as a Surface stand. So why change it.

Now this Zen dock 2 is the exact same shape as that earlier leak showed, with a U shaped bit at the bottom that matches the sketch we saw before.

There has to be a reason they'd change the shape.

Oh yeah the Zen grip 2 had video and some blurry photos of the grip being used with what looked like a Switch 2 in it.

Then mysteriously the video and photos disappeared from the website overnight.

Some people managed to enhance the video a bit and the joycon colour (white) matched the rumours. But also the button layout with the extra button on the right joycon.

Good idea for Switch 2 to have white joycons like the OLED?

It will virtually look the same?

That could just as well be an original Switch.  I hope it has at least a few excentric surprises, or this will be a boring-ass upgrade.  At least release it in GC purple Nintendo!
