Nintendo just came out with the latest update for Mario Tennis Fever, with version 1.1.1 now starting distribution for all players.

This is a small patch all things considered. It includes one adjustment involving the return of a high ball and a bug fix with the Amp Racket.

Mega busters at the ready, because the super fighting robot Mega Man is back in mainline classic action after almost a decade sitting on the sidelines, and he’s got a few new tricks up his sleeve this time around. The initial reveal of Mega Man: Dual Override during The Game Awards last year had me jumping and sliding with excitement, and the more of the game that was getting teased in the intervening months had only heightened that hype. At Gamescom this year, I got to sit down with the game for an hour and really get into the nitty gritty of what makes this new Blue Bomber title unique compared to other entries in the series. Thoughts?

Square Enix is making Romancing SaGa 3: Destinies United for Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch, a ratings leak has revealed.

This unannounced title was just classified in Brazil. As of now there’s not much else to go on given that it’s a simple listing for a rating.

Shift Up has shared new information about the Nintendo Switch 2 port of Stellar Blade, including information about the game’s frame rate, resolution, and DLSS usage. This comes as part of an interview with Nintendo Everything.

If you watched the most recent trailer for the game, you may have noticed that the video was 60 FPS. We can indeed confirm that this is the target currently.

If you’re wondering how Stellar Blade is shaping up on Nintendo Switch 2, we have you covered with some of the first gameplay from the port.

Shift Up just showed off the title with a new trailer last week. The company has followed up with several minutes of direct-feed docked footage.

We don’t have any sort of confirmation at this point, but a Nintendo Direct could very well be happening next Thursday, September 10.

Much has been made of a social media post going around regarding Just Dance: Decade of Hits. Essentially, some content surrounding the game leaked. Ubisoft made a post on social media to respond to the situation and said that more information will be shared on September 10.

I can’t speak for others, but it really caught me off-guard with how big a splash Stellar Blade made when it launched back in 2024. It felt like the game came out of left field and immediately built a large fanbase, sold brilliantly well, and led to a sequel getting put into production quite rapidly afterwards. Stellar Blade was a really graphically intense video game, however, so it wasn’t able to make it to Nintendo Switch players’ hands. Well, I’m happy to say that the version of Stellar Blade for Nintendo Switch 2 I played at Gamescom 2026 was a very strong, competent port that is of comparable quality to other versions already released. 

Inside a booth at Gamescom, I found myself sat at a table with ShiftUp’s DongKi Lee opposite me, a translator sat to my left. In the middle of the small table between was an undocked Nintendo Switch 2 with Stellar Blade booted up. As I played the game, Mr. Lee would provide some tips and tricks for me after learning I hadn’t played the game previously.
