At What’s It Like?, I believe games are more than entertainment. They are experiences that stay with us, shape memories, and create connections across generations.

What’s It Like? started as a part-time project driven by a big Nintendo Kid who never wanted to ask himself, "What If?" In 2025, I've taken the leap into full-time journalism, committing to building a trusted, values-driven platform for thoughtful, in-depth gaming content.

My primary focus is on Nintendo, but my passion extends to storytelling across the entire gaming landscape. Through reviews, features, guides, interviews, and retrospectives, I aim to share not just what games do, but how they resonate.

I know this might spark debate, but I genuinely think Ace Combat 7 was the standout Switch 1 port of its generation

G'day Legends, apologies for the radio silence. We moved to a very remote slice of Australia a few days before Xmas, and it's had some challenges! We now have Starlink set up, so content will resume today!

I also just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and hope you had a wonderful day. Thank you so much for your support over the year, feedback, discussions, compliments, and complaints!

G'day Legends, now my Metroid Prime 4 Review is live, I just wanted to share something new I'm trying on the website. Check out the Metroid Prime 4 hub - www.whatsitlike.com.au/metroid/

It has all the boss guides, graphical comparison, and the review all in one place. The website is ad-free with no pop-ups, so you can read or watch the embedded videos in peace.

All feedback welcome!

How important is framerate to you when playing on the Nintendo Switch 2?

I've really enjoyed making some Metroid Prime 4 boss guides. I'm still a bit new to making guides, so I try to make them short, sweet, and easy to follow. If there are any extra details, format suggestions, or other guides you want to see, let me know!

Well, wasn't this morning's announcement of a Switch 2 version of Skyrim a pleasant surprise? Just 2 days ago, my son asked me what game I wish I could have reviewed, and my answer was Skyrim. So while I chip away at a review, here's a graphics breakdown of how the Switch 2 upgrade stacks up. Enjoy!

G'day Legends, Just wanted to share this game changer for mouse controls on Switch. I'm a big-time Civilization 7 player, but mouse mode cramps my hands. I grabbed these from a retailer here, and it feels like a normal mouse now. I don't remember the brand name, but there are a few similar products to choose from online. Happy Gaming!

G’day Legends. I want to take a moment to thank my three Patreons. Your support helps me pick up games that sit outside my monthly schedule. Three members might not sound like much to some people, but thanks to you, I was able to grab a copy of Tomb Raider Definitive Edition on Switch 2 for review.

So thank you to Dankii, A. Blunn, and the Hill Family. Your support means a lot, and I’m grateful to have you here.

G'day legends, I just wanted to welcome all the new subscribers who have joined our channel and also do a shameless plug that www.whatsitlike.com.au/ is ad-free, pop-up-free, and has news and articles that don't make it to YouTube.

Thanks again for your support, and remember that all feedback whether it's good, bad, or indifferent, is welcome and appreciated!
