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 …
Christmas always sees a slew of shovelware on the Switch eShop, and this year is no exception. The situation is even worse than usual as there are some rather brazen imitations of popular games, such as CloverPit Gamble – a near identical clone of the excellent CloverPit. Also lined up are feeble copies of PowerWash …
A glut of new releases hit the Switch and Switch 2 this week, with the latter gaining 2017’s acclaimed RPG Divinity: Original Sin 2, fresh from last week’s announcement of a new entry in the series. It sees a resolution and frame rate jump over the Switch version, but as noted by Nintendo Life, it …
The Switch eShop is a hubbub of activity this week with the last of 2025’s anticipated releases due. Next week has a couple of releases of note too, including Limited Run’s Tomba 2 re-release, whereas Christmas week currently appears to be little more than a dumping ground for shovelware. Until then, let the good time …
Christmas has come early to the Switch eShop, with a smorgasbord of major new releases hitting both consoles. Next week is looking reasonably busy too, with a handful of games generating a buzz. After that, December is a bit of a mystery, with the only thing guaranteed being the slew of seasonal shovelware. Oh boy. …
For a second time this month the Switch 2 finds itself caught between two major first-party titles, with Kirby Air Riders having just released and Metroid Prime 4: Beyond lined-up for next Thursday. Publishers aren’t too wary of Samus stealing the limelight it seems, as next week is looking like a corker for new releases. …
Kirby games tend to release towards the end of a Nintendo platform’s life, offering carefree experiences aimed at a more casual and less-discerning audience. This stance has changed over the years however, with the best example of this being this week’s Kirby Air Riders, launching barely six months into the Switch 2’s lifecycle. While …
The Switch 2 has found itself between two major first-party releases, with Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment having just launched and Kirby Air Riders out next Thursday. Things might be patchy on the PS5 and Xbox this winter, but Switch owners are definitely “eating good” – and Metroid Prime 4 is still to come. The …
If you’re looking for something a little different, this week’s line-up of new Switch eShop releases has you covered, with plenty of offbeat curios. There’s a new major Switch 2 release as well, in the form of the Koei Tecmo developed Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment. What began as a mere Dynasty Warriors spin-off has …
The next major Switch 2 release, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, is only a week away. If you’re after something to keep your fingers busy until then, plenty of rotary telephones are available on eBay. Failing that, the Switch 2 gains four new releases this week. Three of these are also available on the original …
