It’s almost time for Summer Game Fest 2025, so get to work on those backlogs before the upcoming games list grows even longer.

Time extension. The Virtua Racing-like release New Star GP, which made its debut on the Switch eShop last March, has recently received a new update with some extra “performance improvement options”.
