Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (22nd August)
Nintendo has announced a revised pricing structure for the Switch 2 console in the United Kingdom, with the updated price now positioned above the £400 threshold. The announcement marks a significant development for the next-generation handheld hybrid console’s UK market launch.
Simultaneously, this week saw the commencement of the network test for The Duskbloods, a highly anticipated new title developed through a collaboration between FromSoftware and Nintendo. The network test has already generated substantial online preview coverage and critical attention, giving players their first opportunity to experience the game firsthand. According to reports, Nintendo’s involvement in the project has proven instrumental in helping both players and media understand the game’s core mechanics, features, and overall design philosophy. The network test phase represents a significant milestone in the game’s development cycle, allowing the collaborating studios to gather valuable player feedback and conduct technical testing ahead of the official release.
