Whether you think the art you consume should be a distraction from the real world or a reflection of it is up to you and your capacity for curiosity. While such a divide doesn’t exist for fans of film, music, literature, or television, for some reason, it does for people who enjoy things like sports and video games. As a result, journalists who cover the latter spaces sometimes have the absurd task of calling certain things “news” during weeks when those stories feel like anything but—because not everyone is interested in real news.

This is one of those weeks. So, fresh off one of the most consequential presidential elections in decades, our top “news” stories for the week are, in fact, Nintendo announcing the Switch 2 will be backwards compatible with the Switch, Sega delisting over 60 classic games like Crazy Taxi (sorry, Tim Walz), and more things that definitely most certainly obviously matter right now.
