Drab x Drive. August is nearly over, and we’ve had two first-party releases this month: Kirby and the Long Title Nintendo Employees Are Obliged to Say in its Entirety and Drag x Drive. The Kirby revamp just came out (and it’s very good) while Drag and Drive (yes, this one’s definitely an ‘and’) hit the…
Loop de loop. To celebrate the newly-released movie adaptation of The Exit 8, the Switch version has received a minor, yet welcome upgrade for the Switch 2. If you’re unaware of the premise, The Exit 8 takes place in a looping corridor within a Japanese metro station. Your job is to escape, but to do…
Or have you Forgotten? The weekend has crept up on us once again, so it’s time to kick back with a game or two. Before we get to our plans, however, let’s look back on all the Nintendo news that happened this week. Honestly, it was a rather quiet one. Nintendo launched a series of…

Get readee. After months of being drip-fed tiny nuggets of information regarding Yooka-Replaylee, Playtonic Games has finally announced that the game will launch on Switch 2 on 9th October 2025. In addition, while a previous listing heavily hinted at the game receiving a proper physical release (i.e. no Game-Key Card), this has now been officially…
Aw, shoot. Leave it up to Kazutaka Kodaka to come up with one of the weirdest stories in gaming, huh? Following on from the outrageously ambitious The Hundred Line – Last Defense Academy, the creator has now joined forces with developer Neilo on the new visual novel Shuten Order. I say ‘visual novel’, and that’s…
A frame rate brawl. SEGA popped up in the July Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase to reveal that Yakuza Kiwami and Kiwami 2 would be brawling their way onto Switch 2 on 13th November. Of course, the former is already available on Switch 1, but this new release promised improved graphics and frame rates, alongside some…
Nothing to fear here! Almost out of the blue, Limited Run Games’ Fear Effect port has arrived on the Switch eShop… right now! Yep, you can go and download the PS1 classic from the eShop for just $9.99 / £8.99 (thanks Gematsu). The release comes with almost no fanfare, as neither Limited Run Games nor…
Protection and power. Now that the Switch 2 has been in our hands for a while, I’m sure we’ve all come to realise two universal truths about Nintendo’s hybrid system: A) it needs protection, and B), the battery life could be a lot better.
