DK Bananza takes out “best gameplay” award. In case you missed it, Gamescom gives out awards every year, and while Nintendo didn’t even feature last year, it’s back in 2025 with a few wins. These awards call on a “panel of expert gaming jurors” and the community to decide the winners. The recent Switch 2…
It’s almost here. After a long wait and even some delays, we’re now just weeks out from the release of Hollow Knight: Silksong. The ‘hands on’ previews have been rolling in from Gamescom this week, so we’re rounding up a handful here including our own. This is the final demo before the game goes on…
Bunny hop. Maximum Entertainment and Little Sewing Machine have announced that Bye Sweet Carole, a horror game inspired by Don Bluth and animated Disney movies, is launching on Switch on 9th October 2025, just in time for Halloween. The date was announced yesterday via the IGN Live Showcase, with Maximum Entertainment sharing the trailer earlier…
Das Ist Wunderbar? I’ve never been to Gamescom before. I’ve heard all the rumours, though. Gamescom is obviously an event I’ve been aware of for a very long time and it appears to have been growing in stature as of late – even Nintendo decided to return this year after skipping the show in 2024….
Ready to roll. Bandai Namco popped up at the Partner Direct last month to reveal Once Upon a Katamari. It’s not due out until 24th October, but the studio is getting the ball rolling early by sharing a first look at the opening movie. The two-minute video is full of all the classic sphere-pushing you…
Racing to find the best deals. After its initial reveal back in April, Kirby Air Riders is now racing toward its worldwide release on 20th November 2025.

Raicool. The rollercoaster ride of Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket releases is continuing at breakneck pace, as TPC has revealed that the next Themed Booster Expansion will arrive next week on 28th August. The ‘Secluded Springs’ expansion is another Gen II-focused set, with legendaries Raikou, Entei, and Suicune taking centre stage. A bunch of other…
8BitDid it again. If you’re into fighting games, chances are you’ve probably seen – or maybe even used – a bunch of leverless arcade controllers. They’re taking the fighting scene by storm, and now 8BitDo, one of the most consistent accessory manufacturers in the business, has launched its own Arcade Controller for the Switch, Switch…
And it’s looking gooey. It only feels like yesterday that Bloober Team confirmed that Cronos: The New Dawn would be launching on the Switch 2. Yet here we are, merely a couple of weeks from its 5th September release, and the lovely Felix has gone hands-on with the title during his stint at Gamescom (yes,…
Docked and loaded. Earlier this week, we were lucky enough to head to the Nintendo booth at Gamescom and go hands-on with Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition on Switch 2. Bandai Namco didn’t allow any footage to be recorded from our handheld session (and we quickly saw why), but it seems such recording rules are not…
