The review embargo is up for Compulsion Games’ South of Midnight. I desperately wanted to have this up in time but I was off tearing up my wrist and shoulder trying out the the Nintendo Switch 2’s new Joy-Con mouse functions among other Nintendo-related shenanigans. The review is on the way though and I’m really excited to share my thoughts. For now though, whet your appetite with my interview with the game’s developers including voice and motion capture director Ahmed Best.

With the reveal of the Switch 2, Nintendo’s going all in on the console’s new and improved social features. During the Switch 2 direct presentation, the company showed off the how new “C” button will be used to connect with your friends with voice and video chat. While we didn’t get to test out those features in our hands-on coverage, Nintendo did release a new video that goes into detail on what to expect.

The Nintendo kicked off its new console generation with a very flashy bang. The Verge had the opportunity to go hands-on with the console, testing out a bunch of games and features revealed during yesterday’s direct presentation. I got to play Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, Mario Kart World, a little bit of Breath of the Wild, Donkey Kong Bananza and so much more. Here’s our thoughts.

Only 24 hours remain... until Nintendo finally gives us the in-depth look we’ve been waiting for on the Switch 2. The direct starts bright an early at 9 AM ET / 6 AM ET and, in a new announcement from Nintendo, will last a chonky 60 minutes. Is an hour long enough to answer all our burning questions? Probably not. But Nintendo will also host Treehouse events on April 3rd and 4th featuring hands-on gameplay of Switch 2 games.
