Nintendo's knockabout sports series returns for its most refined outing yet; charming, wonderfully considered, and it doesn't require a room full of friends to be fun.

One of my very favourite things to do in Switch Sports Resort isn't, technically, a sport at all. I can't get enough of firing up Prop Plane's free-play mode, taking to the skies, and watching Wuhu Island do its thing below. Swing past the art museum or the shopping precinct and you'll see all sorts of little people milling around; take a wrong-way dive into a tunnel and here come the cars whizzing on by. Out on the water, racers whip and twirl; on the archipelago's sandiest beaches, holidayers recline in the tropical sun. Fly over the stadiums and sports arenas and you'll see matches in progress - furious bouts of tennis, concentrated swings on golfing greens, or the pin-toppling bustle of bowling - crowds going wild in tandem. And if it's quieter contemplation I want, I can explore the subterranean depths of a volcano, or chart a gently winding path along the river banks, or admire the lighthouse perched on the hill.

America’s Newest Motorcycle Is A Legend That’s Technically Been Around Since Before Your Parents Were Born

Motorcycle companies love boasting about their heritage. Indian prints “since 1901” on each of its engines, while Harley-Davidson is proud to have been around continuously since 1903. Royal Enfield has different bragging rights, as it claims to have the motorcycle that’s been in the longest continuous production. That bike is the Bullet, which has been in production since 1932, and America is finally getting the hot Bullet 650 that the rest of the world has already been enjoying. Like all Royal Enfields, it won’t even bust your bank open to buy, either. Royal Enfield proclaims that the Bullet has been in continuous production since 1932. That is technically true. There has been a Bullet model in continuous production since 1932. The Bullet even remained largely unchanged for decades. But like any nameplate that’s been in production for long enough, the Bullet has evolved. The Bullet of today sports a modernized frame, a modern engine, and even fuel injection.

Games with loot boxes and other "paid random items" re-rated PEGI 16 as new rules come into force, hopefully cutting down on kids gambling somewhat

I'm strongly of the opinion that loot boxes, gacha mechanics and whatever other form of gambling remains present in games is a scourge that ought to be wiped out. Absolutely no game is better for having gacha mechanics in it, only worse. The normalisation of gambling through alternative, softer names, cool cosmetics, and in many cases, cute anime girls is honestly abhorrent. European ratings board PEGI doesn't seem keen on it either, as they've begun enacting recent rule changes bring the default age rating of games that contain these mechanics up to a minimum of PEGI 16. This change is the enforcement of a plan first announced in March, intended to ensure that predatory mechanics like loot boxes are less accessible to players. Specifically, policy manager Connor Hinde notes that "Existing digital-only games that are currently rated PEGI 3, 7 or 12 and feature Paid random items, such as loot boxes, will have their age rating updated to PEGI 16 – Paid random items.
