Welcome, Shackers, to the end of another Tuesday! It’s been a spicy day here at Shacknews. We kicked things off with the launch of our **Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment** review, accompanied by a wealth of new videos. Get ready for all that goodness and more in this week’s edition of *This Week in Switch 2*!

You can also look forward to plenty of other coverage as we tie up loose ends and close out the year. But for now, it’s time to wrap up the day with a fresh edition of **Evening Reading** — in case you missed it on Shacknews.

### Nintendo Boss Theme Spotlight
Today’s highlight is the boss theme for *The Underking*: an undead lord of the dwarves resting on his opulent throne in the grave that is his kingdom. Pretty good, right? And if you’re a fan, get ready for *New Horizons 3.0* — Dave New Blood is ready, are you?

### Mario’s Ready for the Holidays!
Mario is gearing up to fly high at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Yahoo! It’s that festive time of year, and Mario is bringing the holiday spirit.

### Rejected MLB Slugfest Lines
Still craving some baseball? We uncovered a CD in our archives containing dozens of unused voice lines from *MLB Slugfest 20-03* that were rejected by the MLB. Here are some of our favorites:

One standout line about a clown catching on fire truly slayed us!

### Video Game History Throwback
It’s been quite a while since the original *Mike Tyson Mysteries* game came out on the N64. Miss those days? Us too. Poor Bobby Fischer — forced to play chess for IBM and robot Thomas Watson like a champ!

### Upcoming Battles
It’s almost time. A war awaits. Will you fight for the good King Rauru? (It’s a pretty sweet gig, if you ask us.)

### Highlights from last week’s topic: Are you sold on Kirby Air Riders?

**GoldFish-Boy:**
I’m so excited for it. Sakurai could make a game about a trash bag and somehow find a way to make it amazing. The amount of love that has obviously been poured into this game is incredible. I was excited at the announcement, more excited after the first direct, but this might be my most anticipated game now after the second direct—even over *Beyond*.

**AJK:**
It’s not my kind of game, but I love how dedicated Sakurai is when he makes a game. I am excited for the fans that they are getting an incredible, feature-packed sequel. 🙂

**RoomWithAMoose:**
I was sold when it was announced. But after these directs, I’ve gone from expecting a nice little nostalgia trip to expecting one of the greatest games of the year.

**Cal:**
Almost sold—I just need to know how meaty Road Trip mode is. I don’t plan on playing online, especially not with randoms, so this will be where the bulk of my time would be spent (along with the checklist).

**Vinicius:**
Yes, I’ve been interested for a while. However, I’m only buying it around December or January as I want to get rid of some of my backlog and play *Age of Imprisonment* first.
