I guess I should introduce myself on here!
I'm Tom, I work in game design and I also make video game music remixes on YT 🎵
Some of my favourite series:
- Kingdom Hearts
- Final Fantasy (+FF7)
- Sonic
- Nintendo; mostly Mario + Zelda + Xenoblade
Here's a "condensed showreel" of some of my music:

Same goes for KH3 as well, I've 100%ed that once so far

Rumour: Kingdom Hearts collection could eventually come to Nintendo Switch 2
Many were disappointed with Square Enix when the company announced that out was bringing the Kingdom Hearts collection of video games to the Nintendo Switch console albeit via Cloud Versions. Now a rumour is doing the rounds from Attack of the Backlog that the Kingdom Hearts All-in-One Package collection is set to arrive on the Nintendo Switch 2. Square Enix hasn't confirmed this, so it's just a rumour at present.

I LOVE this song in the original VR version of Synth Riders. It looks pretty difficult here though 😆

Going TURBO doesn't always = you get all the notes. Gotta dodge just as well as catching all the notes ;)

When looking back on games that released in 2025, there were quite a few great, imaginative, stylish games that involved riding on hoverboards.
Here are just some of them... 🤟🏄

Recently in Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition, I finally achieved something I wanted to do back on the Wii U version a decade ago:
I now have an Ares 90 mech! 🙌
Took me ages to get all the materials to craft it
(Also, good lord, its attacks are strong... 😶)

I've been revisiting Final Fantasy 15 again recently (I started it on Christmas 2016, completed it in January 2017, and barely played it since...)
It's nice going back to finally wrap up some random quests and dungeons, and the vibes are relaxing too
But I forgot how weird the combat feels

This has reminded me of the bizarre "BOITS" Donuts poster in one part of Stellar Blade, which reeks of gen-AI but seems too neat and consistent like a human has redrawn/adjusted it
It's bizarre and disappointing, even if it's just a background scenery asset in an otherwise well-crafted game

I completed Paper Mario (N64) recently!
I think I started it in Spring 2022 and then it got left in my backlog while I played Super Paper Mario throughout 2024 😆
The game still holds up pretty well for a 2001 N64 game though
I'll likely play PM: The Thousand Year Door soon!

These new Joy-Con 2 colours look great - I especially like that light teal one - but
1) It's a shame the whole thing isn't the colour, you barely see it otherwise
B) Can we get that light teal one for the left controller as well?
Thirdly: why is this 6 months after the console released

These look brill, but they missed a trick by not having a pink option. Then it would've been all 4 colours of the PlayStation symbols 😎

(and the Create button, which used to be there, is now top left)

This is just messing with my muscle memory *every time* now

I've been getting back into Animal Crossing New Horizons recently (nicely timed for the update happening in 2 weeks)
I completed the DLC a while ago to get the partition walls + pillars etc. but I'm only just now using them in my actual house on my island 😆
Feels a lot more interior-designy now
