Bluey is one of the most popular shows streaming right now, and it’s no wonder why. It may be a preschool show on the surface, but it deals with subject matter that any age can enjoy. The show is about Blue Heeler dog Bluey, her sister Bingo, and their parents, family, and friends as they learn life lessons through imagination and play. I’m a huge fan of the show, and we’ve already seen plenty of Bluey on GamerDad.com with another video game review, a board game, and podcast. And now there is a second video game with a story written by Joe Brumm, the show’s creator! In the game, Bluey and Bingo and their parents are amusing themselves inside on a rainy day by drawing and coloring pictures and making up stories. Bluey tells a story about a poor girl who can’t afford to repair her cottage. So she calls upon Bingoose (her sister Bingo) to lay a golden egg for her. But their dad has the gold pen for the egg and won’t give it back! Now Bluey and Bingoose must go on a quest in their imagination to get the gold pen. The game is presented with crayon styled drawings, similar to Bluey episodes like “Escape” and “Dragon.” Gameplay is viewed in a top down perspective and you’ll solve Zelda dungeon styled puzzles to progress. Bluey and the Quest for the Gold Pen is available on all current consoles and mobile devices, but reviewed on Switch 2 here.
Pokémon Champions (Switch 1 & 2, Mobile)
Posted on May 11th, 2026 by
There’s a new Pokémon game out that is probably this generation’s iteration of Pokémon Stadium or Colisseum. Although seeing your Pokémon battle in 3D isn’t as big of a deal anymore, and neither is the ability to battle online. So I guess this one just consolidates everything and lets you battle the Pokémon you’ve trained from all sorts of different games. At any rate, it’s free-to-play so let’s take a look at it. It’s available on Switch 1 & 2, and later mobile devices, but reviewed on Switch 2 here.
Fallout Jones Sodas

I don’t know much about the Fallout game series as it’s not my cup of tea. But my brothers love those games and I’ve watched them play the games in the past, so I know a little bit about them. I know they have a brand of soda in the game called “Nuka Cola” that has a bit of radiation in it, and I know they use bottle caps as currency in the games. Plus I think there’s a Fallout TV show now? Anyway, now you can try some of the sodas in the game (without the radiation I hope) thanks to Jones Sodas.
The Disney Afternoon Collection (Switch 1 & 2)
Posted on March 16th, 2026 by
Back in the late 80’s and early to mid 90’s, Disney had a block of weekday after school cartoons on TV called The Disney Afternoon. They featured such memorable and high-quality shows like DuckTales, Chip N Dale Rescue Rangers, TaleSpin, Darkwing Duck, and many more. Tons of people, including myself, have very fond memories watching these cartoons as kids. Game maker Capcom even made some bonafide classic games based on those Disney Afternoon cartoons. About a decade ago, they released a collection of those games, and I reviewed it here, as well as wrote an extra special article about the cartoons and games here. I loved that collection, but two things always baffled me. Why wasn’t it released on Switch, and why was it missing two other SNES Disney Afternoon games? Well now those questions are answered with The Disney Afternoon Collection on Switch 1 and 2!

Snoopy & the Great Mystery Club (Switch, PS5, Xbox X/S, PC)
Posted on December 24th, 2025 by
When I was a kid, I loved reading newspaper comic strips. And I still have a strong interest in them today! Some of my favorites include Garfield, Calvin and Hobbes, Dilbert, and of course, Peanuts. When I was little and a Peanuts TV special was on, you can bet I was planted in front of the set watching it! That’s why I’m really glad I got to review Snoopy & the Great Mystery Club! After Charlie Brown, Peppermint Patty, and Snoopy solve the mystery of his missing supper, they decide that it would be fun to form a detective club and solve mysteries around the neighborhood! Help them and the rest of the gang do this by talking to friends and collecting evidence, and even switching Snoopy’s personas and costumes to bypass obstacles. And you might even finally get to kick that football! Snoopy & the Great Mystery Club is available on most current game consoles and PC, but reviewed on Switch here.
Nicktoons & the Dice of Destiny (Switch, PS5, Xbox X/S, PC)
Posted on December 22nd, 2025 by
When I was young, I loved watching stuff on the kids’ cable channel Nickelodeon like Danger Mouse, Double Dare, and You Can’t Do That on Television (yeah I’m THAT old school). But even years later as a teen and young adult I liked watching Nicktoons like Rocko’s Modern Life and Invader ZIM. And once my little brothers came along, they were all in on shows like SpongeBob SquarePants, Rugrats, and Avatar: the Last Airbender. So I’m always happy to review a new Nicktoons game. So here comes Nicktoons and the Dice of Destiny, a crossover action RPG featuring some of your favorites. In the game, Timmy Turner from The Fairly Oddparents is playing a table top RPG with his fairy godparents Cosmo and Wanda. It’s a spoof of Dungeons and Dragons (they even call it Creatures and Caverns). Anyway, Timmy wishes he could be in the game for real, so with the help of some dubious magical multisided dice that Cosmo found, they are whisked into a fantasy world where other Nicktoon characters are sucked in as well. Now Timmy and characters from SpongeBob, Avatar, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and more must go on an adventure to find the magical dice so they can go back home as well as battle villains like Plankton and Angelica. Nicktoons & the Dice of Destiny is available on most current consoles but reviewed on Switch here.
Pokémon Pirate Puffs

There’s a snack brand called Pirate’s Booty that I think mostly does popcorn kind of snacks. I don’t really see them much in stores that I visit frequently, though. I think the last time I saw them was at World Market and I haven’t been there in years. But recently a close relative bought me these packs of Pirate’s Booty snacks featuring Pokémon. And you know me, I’ll write about anything video game related, no matter what it is. So let’s take a look at them!
