“Finish first by any means necessary”. If you enjoy golf video games but would like them to be a bit more chaotic, Super Battle Golf by Brimstone Games might be worth checking out when it launches for the Switch 2 and multiple other consoles. It will hit the green in “Summer 2026” and offers up…
Here’s what the critics think. The new “free-to-start” battle game Pokémon Champions launched for the Switch this week and critics have now had their say. Starting with our own review here on Nintendo Life, we said this new title was the most accessible but flawed competitive Pokémon has ever been, awarding it five out of…
Including standard and Immortal Editions. In case you missed it, Ubisoft’s 2D roguelite The Rogue Prince of Persia gets a physical release on Switch 1 and 2 this week. The standard edition is available for $34.99 USD (or your regional equivalent) and the Immortal Edition (including a copy of the game, SteelBook, a poster and…
UFOooooohhh. Mossmouth’s excellent retro compilation UFO 50 was one of our games of the year when it finally arrived on Switch back in August 2025. The 50 games of the fictional LX system have gobbled up hours (and hours) of our time in the months since, and just when we thought we were free from…
Layton! Inazuma! Snack World?? Level-5 has returned to the livestreamed showcase scene with its first ‘Vision’ showcase of 2026, providing an updated look at all the titles it is currently working on. Overall, the details were kept pretty vague in this one — more than a few games had a noncommittal “in development” label attached…
Guardians of the Galaxy has been rated for the console. We’ve been hoping to see more Switch 1 games lumbered with the Cloud Version label ditch that format and make the jump to Switch 2. And it looks like Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy might be the next one to come. Earlier today, r/GamingLeaksAndRumours (spotted…
What’s the craic? I’ve become a little wary of the plethora of gorgeous retro pixel-art RPGs that keep popping up in recent years. I’m talking about the games that are inspired by classics such as Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy, and EarthBound, or sell themselves as spiritual successors. These often look the part, sucking me in…
“Development’s going well”. We’ll be honest, the 2017 RPG Snack World: The Dungeon Crawl was not on our ‘Switch 2 Remake’ bingo card, but surprise, that’s exactly what’s happening. As revealed in today’s Level-5 showcase, Snack World: Reloaded is in the works for Switch 2, boasting a complete overhaul of the original game with new…
Plus, Decapolice might just be coming to Switch 2 now. Today’s Level-5 Vision 2026 Showcase… certainly happened. And while fans of Professor Layton are probably happy, the same can’t be said for those who are waiting for updates on other Level-5 games. Part way through the showcase, president Akihiro Hino introduced a sizzle reel-type video…
Still on track for 2026… Today’s Level-5 showcase might not have been overflowing with release dates, but it did give us a new look at Professor Layton and The New World of Steam, with the confirmation that it’s still on track for 2026 (thank god). The new trailer is our best look yet at the…
