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 of the Nintendo news from the past week on our [This Week in Switch 2 topic page](#).
Additionally, we are in the process of building out our free **Pokémon Legends: Z-A** interactive game map on Shackmaps. This new feature will help players navigate the game world with ease.
*This Week in Switch 2* allows all Shacknews staff members to share their opinions on the hardware, games, and operating system on a weekly basis. Instead of rushing to post a review-in-progress, Shacknews has chosen to take our time with the Nintendo Switch 2 and **Mario Kart World** to provide useful and well-crafted review content.
Through this series, we will continue sharing our latest impressions of the console throughout the review process, rather than staying silent until the final review is complete.
We are also excited to announce that the podcast is now available in audio format on all the usual platforms. You can listen on Spotify, iHeartRadio, Amazon Music/Audible, Player FM, Podchaser, and Apple Podcasts. Be sure to subscribe so you never miss an episode of *This Week in Switch 2*.
We will be back next week with another episode, so keep it locked on our [This Week in Switch 2 topic page](#).
