System: Switch
Release date: March 27, 2026
Developer: Capcom
Publisher: Capcom
With the arrival of the Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection on the Nintendo Switch, a long-dormant corner of the Mega Man universe finally gets its moment back in the spotlight. Originally released on Nintendo DS, the Mega Man Star Force trilogy carved out its own identity by blending real-time grid-based combat with a surprisingly heartfelt story about loneliness, connection, and the digital spaces we inhabit. This collection brings together all three core entries: Mega Man Star Force, Mega Man Star Force 2, and Mega Man Star Force 3 along with their multiple version variants, giving players the most complete way to experience the series to date – but how well does the franchise hold up in 2026? And does this collection do enough to modernize a series built originally for dual screens and stylus controls?

Developer: AM2 and RGG Studio
Publisher: SEGA
Virtua Fighter 5 is back …again! Originally released in Japanese arcades back in July 2006, Virtua Fighter 5 is the most recent title in the legacy SEGA series that helped shape modern 3D fighters. There have been several revisions for arcades and consoles over its 20-year history. Now in 2026, we have another version that is almost unrecognizable from its first home release on the PlayStation 3. Running in RGG’s Dragon Engine, in use since Yakuza 6, Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. World Stage has a whole new facelift, UI redesign, improved sound design, battle changes, new costumes, DLC and rollback netcode for online fighting at an optimal level. If Nintendo gamers want their first taste of the magic that made Virtua Fighter 5 a game so good they’ve been releasing it for two decades, the ultimate version of the martial arts masterpiece is here on Switch 2.

Developer: Team Ninja
Publisher: Koei Tecmo
There’s that first moment, in every great horror game, when the player reaches that dark room… you know, the one that’s just a bit darker than the ones that came before. You have to enter the room, of course; it’s the only place left to go. You’re running low on resources, so in the back of your mind, you worry something is going to jump out at you and finish the job. Reluctantly, you press forward… and nothing happens. Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly Remake does this a lot. So, you breathe a sigh of relief, and enter the next room… and that’s when the exact thing you were dreading happens.
Pokemon Pokopia review for Nintendo Switch 2

Developer: Koei Tecmo
Publisher: Nintendo
As someone who loves Pokemon, Animal Crossing, and Minecraft, Pokemon Pokopia sneaked its way onto my radar when it first revealed in the September 2025 Nintendo Direct. On paper, this had a chance to be Nintendo’s lightning in a bottle – Pokemon, Animal Crossing, and Minecraft are some of the best-selling franchises of all time, and Pokopia promised to combine elements from all three to create the next big life simulator game. It’s strange, though – the game always looked charming and interesting on the surface, but I never found myself hyping up its release. I didn’t see a ton of hype online, either – most likely, none of us really knew what we were getting into. Pokemon fans are always hopeful that the latest game is a good one, and often times they find themselves disappointed with major releases like Sword, Shield, Scarlet, and Violet. I myself was cautiously optimistic going in… which is to say, I already have 50 hours, it’s completely consumed my life, I can’t imagine life without it, and this is the Switch 2 system seller Nintendo has been looking for.

Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection review for Nintendo Switch 2

Release date: March 13, 2026
Developer: Capcom
Publisher: Capcom
For many years, Monster Hunter has been about slaying towering creatures and using their parts to slay even more massive behemoths. The Monster Hunter Stories series flips that idea on its head, instead letting players befriend, raise, and fight alongside those same creatures. Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection continues that tradition, offering a new perspective on the world and culture that makes the series’ universe so compelling – but is the world just as thrilling when the goal isn’t to slay monsters, but to bond with them?

Tales of Berseria Remastered review for Nintendo Switch
Posted on 4 weeks ago by Richard Ford in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: February 26, 2026
Developer: Bandai Namco
Publisher: Bandai Namco
My experience with Bandai Namco’s storied Tales of franchise amounts ultimately to my time playing Tales of Symphonia and Tales of Vesperia, two games I loved playing dearly a few years back due to several of their characters appearing in the Nintendo 3DS Project X Zone series of games and piquing my interest in learning about their original stories. After Namco’s recent remasters of the above mentioned Tales titles, I was excited to branch out and play some titles in the series I had yet to experience; Tales of Berseria was one of them. The slightly different style of JRPG gameplay and more intense storytelling appealed to me, and having the main protagonist be a female character was a cool switch-up to what I’d experienced previously and was curious how that would impact the way the story was presented. While the storytelling of Tales of Berseria is unquestionably the highlight of the game, this specific version perhaps has not done enough to justify a brand-new release with a ‘remaster’ title.
Mario Tennis Fever review for Nintendo Switch 2

In many ways other than the obvious, Switch 2 has marked a new era of sorts for Nintendo. The Switch generation, while no doubt one of the company’s greatest, had its fair share of flaws – and one of those flaws was its lackluster sports games. Time and time again, we saw Nintendo-published sports outings launch with minimal content, receive free updates for a few months, and then fizzle out and fade from conversation. This issue reached a boiling point with Mario Strikers: Battle League, which had solid core gameplay, but next to no content to speak of. Mario sports have been pretty quiet since then, but now we’ve got another new entry in the Mario Tennis series with Mario Tennis Fever on Nintendo Switch 2. This title promises all sorts of chaotic tennis action, and it most certainly delivers on that promise. But how does it hold up in other areas?

Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties review for Nintendo Switch 2

Developer: RGG Studio
Publisher: SEGA
With Nintendo now a certified home for the Yakuza/Like A Dragon franchise following the releases of Yakuza 0 Director’s Cut, Kiwami and Kiwami 2, Switch 2 players get to experience a new adventure in the series day-and-date with other console users for the first time. This is thanks to RGG’s latest remake title Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties, a shiny new version of the early PS3 title Yakuza 3 with a brand new campaign added onto the package. Seen as a bit of a black sheep in the franchise for taking a less action-focused story in favor of a slower, more character driven plot, for me personally it is my favorite entry. The reaction to the announcement of this remake was mixed to say the least, but I was super excited to play a cleaner, more polished version of a game I was already fond of. There’s quite a lot to unpack here, so let’s start with the plot.

Lovish review for Nintendo Switch

Developer: Labs Works
Publisher: Dangen Entertainment
If one were to take a classic NES-era dungeon crawler and injected it with the most unhealthy dose of romantic insecurity on the planet, what might occur is Lovish. Now shake it violently like a snow globe until random events fall out and what you end up with is one of the most hilariously absurd romps to grace Nintendo Switch in quite some time.

Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined review for Nintendo Switch 2

Dragon Quest 7 is a game with a reputation. A reputation for what, may you ask? A reputation for being one of the longest slogs not only in Dragon Quest history, but in the history of traditional JRPGs as a whole. As Square Enix continually looks into its long history for games that modernize and enhance for a modern audience, there are few title in their catalog more in need of a refresh than this one. So it was with much rejoicing that Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined was announced last year. The question we must ask ourselves, now that the game has finally arrived on store shelves, is can Square Enix do enough to turn this controversial entry in its longest-running series into yet another beloved remaster?
