Here we go again! Take two on pre-ordering a Nintendo Switch 2… but now that we have waited and the sticker price has sunk in, do we still want to drop that kind of cash? We finally know what kinda game Bungie’s Marathon is going to be, and maybe the Oblivion Remaster will be out by the time you read this (spoiler: it is)! Plus, Joelle gives us the breakdown on the hot new puzzle game, The Blue Prince.
