After what feels like aeons, a new first-party Switch release is finally upon us. We are, of course, referring to the original Switch – Nintendo’s attention has been turned to their latest console mostly this year. Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream is a brand-new game too, and not a re-release or HD conversion. We really …
The economy is rougher than sandpaper, so it can only be good news to see two free-to-play releases hit the Switch this week. Of course, they aren’t entirely free – Pokémon Champions has a paid battle pass and a subscription service, while the colourful RPG The New Denpa Men uses paid-for ‘Jewels’ to speed up …
The kids are off school, and the long Easter weekend is almost upon us. The Switch eShop provides a solution for restlessness and entertainment, with several anticipated new releases due. Nintendo would probably quite like you to watch The Super Mario Galaxy Movie before firing up the Switch and cracking open a chocolate egg or …
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is just days away. While it would have been great to see a new 3D (or even 2D) Super Mario game on Switch 2 to coincide, we’re instead being treated to the Meetup in Bellabel Park expansion for the excellent Super Mario Bros. Wonder. It’s available as a £16.99 upgrade or …
The Switch 2 sees a flurry of new releases this week, some of which haven’t gained much traction in the press. So, let’s change that, at least by a modicum. Coming from leftfield are the colourful light-gun party package BANG! BANG! BANDITS, top-down roguelite Royal Revolt Survivors, the surreal open-world RPG Dread Delusion – which …
The Switch eShop is in almost perfect harmony this week, offering a pleasing mixture of anticipated big-name titles, intriguing indies, retro gems, and a sprinkling of oddities. Not too hectic, not too calm either. The dust hasn’t had a chance to settle on Resident Evil Requiem and yet Capcom are back with Monster Hunter Stories …
Nintendo’s latest Indie World presentation has made a busy week busier, adding Switch 2 releases of the award winning puzzler Blue Prince, the co-op beast batter Rotwood, and the Zelda inspired top-down bullet hell shooter Minishoot’ Adventures to the roster. Defying expectations somewhat, the Omega Force developed Pokémon Pokopia for Switch 2 – a social …
Nintendo, Capcom and Bethesda, amongst others, must be hoping Switch owners have plenty of disposable income after paying off February’s bills, as it’s a corker of a week for new releases. From Capcom comes not just Resident Evil Requiem for Switch 2 but also Resident Evil 7 biohazard Gold Edition and Resident Evil Village Gold …
Nintendo systems, try as they might, have never been renowned for racing games, lacking a major franchise to compete with Forza and Gran Turismo. This may soon change, with the Switch 2’s extra horsepower able to do the genre justice. We’ve already seen GRID: Legends on Nintendo’s latest, and this week sees two other established …
Launching a tennis game close to Valentine’s Day is a pretty smooth move, considering a nil score is referred to as ‘love’ in said sport. That isn’t the reason behind Mario Tennis Fever’s release date, of course. In fact, and somewhat worryingly, Nintendo usually relies on the sports series to fill gaps in the roster …
January saw a slew of RPGs on the Switch eShop, and it seems that February is going to be another RPG-centric month. It may even end up being the genre of choice throughout 2026, offering long-lasting experiences from Japanese studios that know their craft and run like well-oiled machines. If the recent Switch 2 version …
The Switch finds itself caught between two major Square-Enix’s RPG revivals currently, with Final Fantasy VII Remake having just launched, and the anticipated DRAGON QUEST VII Reimagined now just days away. If you aren’t about to sink 30+ hours into either, there’s plenty to get stuck into this week – even if the eShop is …
Final Fantasy VII has quite the history with Nintendo, originally announced for N64 before Square-Enix chose to side with Sony and the PS1. Here we are, almost thirty years later, with a remake of the PS1 original, previously exclusive to PS4, that’s about to launch not just on Switch 2 this week but also Xbox. …
More Switch 2 development kits must be in the hands of developers as a few surprise releases have hit the eShop this week. Next week sees a few more arrivals too, including They Are Billions and the Roman city builder Citadelum. Those surprise Switch 2 releases for this week are Beyblade X EvoBattle – which …
The Switch eShop has awoken from its Christmas slumber. It isn’t back up to full speed just yet, though, with fewer releases than usual – hence why this round-up is remarkably similar to our multiformat round-up from Monday. Those seeking a role-playing fix have two to consider. Fairy Tail: Dungeons is a deck-building roguelike, based …
