Ruffy and the Riverside; Date Everything; The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy; a look back at the games of Q2 2025 AND a look ahead at what's coming? Surely that leaves no time for a silly little quiz at the end? SURELY!?!

The Switch 2 is the hot topic this week, as the TMV regulars give their early thoughts on Nintendo's shiny new console; Mario Kart World; Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour and Fast Fusion.

It’s Switch 2 release day! What better way to celebrate than by largely ignoring it, and instead chatting about Elden Ring: Nightreign; PaperKlay; Night in The Woods and Animal Crossing: New Horizons?

With the Switch 2 just one week away, Lewis furiously scrambles to get Triangle Strategy off his backlog and Alex plays with something dangly whilst pretending to work (Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo & Desktop Survivors 98). Ben takes us to tactics town with StarVaders and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tactical Takedown; and there’s even time to discuss the hidden gem, American Arcadia.
As expected, we're all over the shop this week, playing a little bit of this, and a little bit of that. The big 'un is The Midnight Walk, but we also share our thoughts on Drop Duchy, Preserve, Despelote, Bionic Bay, Fireball 2, and Deck of Haunts.

It's 'French Night' in The Mimic's Veil, so Alex and Ben put on their most stylish outfits and sit down for a candlelit dinner as they discuss Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. High on cheese and wine, they stumble into Survivor's Corner on the way home, and proceed to chat about Yet Another Zombie Survivors; Gunbot Diplomacy; and Hordes of Fate: A Hand of Fate Adventure. Oh, and SpreadCheat.
Well howdy folks, this here's a tale o' three boys who shoulda known better than to mess with ol' Two-Toed Tom down by the river... ahem... You'll need to read that in a deep south accent for it to make sense. Or just listen to us talk about South of Midnight, as well as Rogue: Genesia and TT Isle Of Man: Ride on the Edge 3.
