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?

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.

We got a first look at Stellar Blade on Nintendo Switch 2, here are our thoughts

Posted on 17 hours ago by Richard Ford in Previews, Switch 2 | 0 comments

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.

Capcom has spoken about the title behind Mega Man: Dual Override, including the reason why it won’t be called Mega Man 12.

All of the mainline entries in the core series have had a number. Prior to this project, Capcom shipped Mega Man 11. We were interested to find out why the tradition wasn’t carried forward.

The next Splatoon game needs to make this big change

Posted on 3 days ago by Ethan in Features, Switch 2 | 0 comments

With Splatoon Raiders having recently released on Nintendo Switch 2, it’s safe to say that we likely aren’t seeing Splatoon 4 anytime soon. Even so, Splatoon 3 has plenty of content to offer in the meantime – and it’s generally the best-received entry in the series to date.

With that being said, it’s still got one major problem: its Splatfests. To tie into the whole “3” theme, Splatoon 3’s events all revolved around selecting one of three different teams. However, this wound up creating more of an imbalance than a competent gimmick – here’s how we would fix that in Splatoon 4.

How to utterly embarrass yourself while “playing” Elden Ring on Nintendo Switch 2

Posted on 5 days ago by Nicholas Serpa in Features, Switch 2 | 0 comments

Look: although I have the privilege of writing about video games for this fine outlet, this does not, by any measure, mean I am always good at said video games. Everyone here on the Nintendo Everything team has a genre or two they know like the back of their hand, and I can tell you with complete certainty that Soulslike games are not my area of expertise. Regardless, the Nintendo Switch 2 port of Elden Ring and its Shadow of the Erdtree expansion – now bundled as the Tarnished Edition – remains one of the biggest third-party releases on the console this year, and I figured this would be a great opportunity to see if I was cut out for the challenge of one of 2022’s top-rated games.

Spoilers: I was not cut out for said challenge.

If you want to learn all about how to make an absolute fool of yourself while playing Elden Ring on Nintendo Switch 2, read on.

Xenoblade Genesis breakdown, analysis, and speculation

Posted on 1 week ago by Ethan in Features, Switch 2 | 0 comments

In many ways, Xenoblade Genesis looks to be a whole new beginning for the Xenoblade franchise. One important consideration is that they’ve dropped the “Chronicles” from the English localization, and when you consider that Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Future Redeemed was a wrap-up for the original trilogy, it’s clear that this really is the beginning of something new.

At the time of writing, we’ve only got a brief two-minute trailer of Xenoblade Genesis. Because of that, we admittedly don’t have a ton to go on here. But while we wait for the next big Nintendo news drop, it can’t hurt to speculate and analyze a little bit anyhow.

[Let’s Talk] Have you ever been to a gaming expo?

Posted on 1 week ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk | 0 comments

In just a few days, Gamescom will be kicking off. The annual event in Germany has, at this point, become the largest gaming expo in the world. Thousands of people attend every year to try out upcoming titles from various developers and publishers.

Of course, Gamescom isn’t the only expo around. Another big one is happening next month – that being Tokyo Game Show. In the past, there was E3 – though it’s sadly no more. There are other events like PAX and Comic-Con as well.

How many expos have you been to, if any, and what was the experience like? If you haven’t gone to one, is there an event you’re hoping to attend in the future? Let us know in the comments.

A brief history of fake Nintendo leaks

Posted on 1 week ago by Ethan in Features, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments

In 2026, Nintendo has been somewhat quiet. There have been plenty of games, of course, but relatively little in terms of big reveals – at least in the first half of the year. This silence leads to lots of leaks and rumors and the meantime, which in this case led to things like the Ocarina of Time remake rumor, among other things.

In the past, there have been several other leaks that popped up during relatively quiet times, and have gained traction for one reason or another. So today, we’re discussing leaks that people thought were real, but turned out fake for one reason or another.
