Another update before the Switch 2 arrives. Ahead of the Switch 2’s launch, Nintendo has rolled out another firmware update for its original Switch hardware. This appears to be a relatively small update and resolves an issue with software not starting after the previous update which went live last week. Here’s the full rundown, courtesy…
Two unique minigames. If you’re looking for some quality RPG action on the Switch 2 at launch, one game you might want to check out is Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster. This improves on the original 3DS experience with various enhancements including mouse-controller minigames. In case you missed the initial coverage of this game…
Shocker. OpenAI’s o3 model, which is reportedly the “smartest model to date” of AI, can play Pokémon Red — but it’s taken 80 hours to get two Gym Badges. Two. And it’s rightfully being roasted online. The story was originally published by Dexerto, and the playthrough is being streamed on Twitch right now, but we’re…
Mario Kart! Welcome Tour! Split Fiction! After a pretty quiet couple of months as far as Switch releases are concerned, it will come as no surprise to hear that June is set to be a biggie. You see, a little console called the Switch 2 is arriving later this week (5th June, in case you…
Real steamy. Steam-Heart’s is a most curious Saturn Tribute release, for two significant reasons: Firstly, it was conceived many moons ago as hardcore hentai erotica; and secondly, it was never particularly great.

A new hitman approaches. As if there isn’t enough to be excited about this week, IO Interactive, the talented team behind the incredible (and coming soon to Nintendo Switch 2) Hitman: World of Assassination series, has just revealed that its brand new James Bond game, which we’ve known is on its way to the new…
Plus a hotline for US citizens. Yakuza 0: Director’s Cut, an updated Switch 2 exclusive of the 2015 title, has received a new overview trailer ahead of its launch later this week. It’s pretty standard stuff, really. The trailer goes into the basic plot of the game (without heading into spoiler territory, we might add)…
Survive together, kids. Konami and Unity are teaming up to bring Survival Kids back as a Switch 2 launch title on 5th June 2025. But besides the trailer during the Nintendo Switch 2-focused Direct back in April, we haven’t heard much else about the game. However, in an interview with Stephen Totilo over at Game…
A true World Warrior. Capcom has announced that it has collaborated with legendary composer Yoko Shimomura for this week’s upcoming Elena update for Street Fighter 6. In case you’re somehow unaware of who this is, Shimomura is perhaps most notable for composing another entry in Capcom’s long-running fighting series: Street Fighter II: The World Warrior….
