Last week, we spoke about the debut episode of the new season of the UK video game show GamesMaster – and today sees the release of the second episode.
It’s full of good stuff once more, including a unique challenge in which a winner of a Golden Joystick in the original 1990 run of the show returns to claim a second trophy in the brutally diffcult Cuphead – but of particular note is this week’s review segment, which focuses on the recently-released Switch OLED Model and Metroid Dread, the game it launched alongside.
Main host Robert ‘Rab’ Florence heaps praise on the revised system, highlighting its impressive screen, improved build quality and enhanced sound. He acknowledges that there was demand for a more powerful console, but concludes that he felt the Switch was already pretty decent, and that the OLED model represents “the very best version of what I believe is the very best games console on the market today”.
While Switch certainly doesn’t need any help when it comes to mainstream attention and commercial momentum, it’s nice to see a show like GamesMaster truly sing the praise of the hybrid system. Perhaps the positive summary will make a few more people upgrade this Christmas – or, even better, buy their very first Switch console.
You can check out the full episode below – the Switch OLED review starts around the 32:20 mark.
