22: Switch Pro, 6700XT, Outriders, and banana controllers?
We have a quick episode this week. Spent too much time playing Outriders! There actually was not a lot of news this week. What we got was juicy though!
There have been rumblings about a Switch Pro or Switch 2 for a while and they resurfaced this week. 4K in docked mode and an OLED screen? You bet I want it!
We are also approaching the launch of Intel’s 11th gen CPUs so the leaks are flowing! It is fun to speculate, but by now we can wait to see what they perform like once they are released. I hope they are strong performers. Intel needs to push AMD just like AMD needs to push Intel to bring us better and better goodies!
In the weird world we live in, we also got a Nintendo Wii U firmware update? WTF? First time since 2018. And if that is not crazy enough, we have a new patent filed for banana controllers. Oh Sony, you are something else.
And I have to admit that I fell off the wagon and bought some more games for the collection. I did good for a while there, but I was at Best Buy and there was a sale and now I have more games. One special game came from eBay though, a really cool limited edition to one of my new favorite games!
Other than that, it has been 24/7 Outriders Demo here. Give me them legendaries! Seriously, please, give me some. :D
