The price of performance. As details continue to flood in about Nintendo’s Switch 2 console, it’s been confirmed that the battery, whilst having a larger overall capacity than that found in its predecessor, won’t actually last as long in play. During a Q&A with the Switch 2 developers, producer Kouichi Kawamoto stated that the battery…
Make it snappy. We were slightly mixed on the Nintendo Switch 2 Camera when it was revealed in yesterday’s GameChat rundown. Sure, it’s a neat little curio and we’re sure it will lead to some fun times, but there’s no denying that it looks a little… Kinect-y. Well, all of those fears are now banished…
“If they pull it off, others will follow”. Yesterday’s Nintendo Direct gave us an absolutely mammoth amount of information about Switch 2, but one of the less welcome revelations was that game prices are rising for Nintendo’s new console, with leading launch title Mario Kart World costing a whopping $80 / £75 in physical form…
At least it’s cheap… When Nintendo detailed some of the technical specifications for the upcoming Switch 2, it also revealed Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour, a digital experience that acts as an expanded tech demo, letting you try out various functions of the console via mini games.

It’s a pretty hefty game, boasting a massive open world with seemingly endless things to do and people…
World tour. Nintendo came out of the gate strong in yesterday’s Switch 2 Direct with an overview trailer for Mario Kart World (no, it’s not called ‘Mario Kart 9’). The four-minute rundown was packed with exciting features and new racers, but it clearly wasn’t enough for Nintendo to showcase everything that it wanted to, as…
What have you done..? Remember when Nintendo debuted its gameplay trailer for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond during last week’s Switch Direct (gosh, that feels like yonks ago, now)? Remember how it followed up with one of the most awesome-looking box art designs we’ve seen for a Metroid game? Okay, well we’ve got some bad news…
Here’s the estimated equivalent locally. Nintendo hasn’t officially revealed the local pricing for Switch 2 game upgrades but it seems the company’s official Japanese website might have now given fans a rough idea of what it might cost to enjoy certain past generation games with various enhancements on the new system. According to the Japanese…
What’s going on here? Nintendo’s Switch 2 Direct highlighted all sorts of new and existing titles but one of the more interesting discoveries in the American broadcast was a box art for what appears to be the 3DS version of Yoshi’s Woolly World (officially known as Poochy and Yoshi’s Woolly World) in the “compatible Nintendo…
Helping developers target the launch. This isn’t exactly a surprise, but it’s been confirmed the game engine Unity will be providing developers with official support for Nintendo Switch 2. Here’s some PR about how this platform will be “made available soon” in Unity 6 for approved Switch 2 developers targeting the launch of the platform:…
