We are back with the latest episode of **This Week in Switch 2**, featuring an in-depth discussion breaking down a busy slate of Nintendo news. In this episode, we share our reactions to the second Kirby Air Riders Direct and offer our thoughts on the upcoming PS5 release of *Halo: Campaign Evolved*.
Be sure to check out all the Nintendo news from the past week on our dedicated [topic page](#).
In other exciting news, we’re in the process of building out a free interactive game map for *Pokemon Legends: Z-A* on Shackmaps. Stay tuned for updates as we expand this helpful resource.
**This Week in Switch 2** provides an opportunity for all Shacknews staff members to share their opinions on the Nintendo Switch 2 hardware, its games, and the operating system on a weekly basis. Instead of rushing to publish a review-in-progress, Shacknews has chosen to take a thoughtful approach with the Nintendo Switch 2 as well as *Mario Kart World* in order to deliver valuable and well-considered review content.
This new series allows us to keep you updated with our latest impressions of the console, rather than remaining silent while the review work continues.
Additionally, we are now sharing the podcast in audio format on all the usual platforms. You can listen to **This Week in Switch 2** on Spotify, iHeartRadio, Amazon Music/Audible, Player FM, Podchaser, and Apple Podcasts.
We’ll be back next week with another episode, so keep it locked on our **This Week in Switch 2** [topic page](#).
