Nintendo Switch Online is kicking off the month with icons for both Super Mario Bros. 2 and Super Mario Advance. They can be claimed on both Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch.
As these are “play to redeem” icons, you need to boot up the respective games on the Nintendo Switch Online apps in order for them to unlock. As Super Mario Advance is on the GBA, you need to be a part of the Expansion Pack tier to access those ones.

Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen on Nintendo Switch fix massive glitch 22 years later
Posted on 2 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in GBA, News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
We’ve only had one release of Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen for the past couple of decades with its GBA launch, but now that they’re seeing new life on Nintendo Switch, a huge glitch has been fixed.
Back in the day, the GBA games had something known as the “roaming roar bug”. If you initially chose Bulbasur or Squirtle as your starter, Raikou and Entei would show up first in the post-game. Following that, if you found either of the Legendary Pokemon and they used “roar”, the game would accidentally count it as them being knocked them out rather than making them flee, plus they wouldn’t appear in the Pokedex. This meant that Raikou / Entei would essentially be deleted and players wouldn’t have another shot at catching them.

Pokemon Pokopia will be available in just a few days, and before the launch happens, reviews are starting to come in.
Pokemon Pokopia is a new spin-off that takes the series in a different direction. The life simulation game, which some have said is like Animal Crossing and Minecraft, has you playing as the human-like Ditto as you learn moves from Pokemon, collect materials, build furniture, grow vegetables, and create homes. Multiplayer is also supported with up to three other players in which it’s possible to visit other towns and invite friends to their own.
Below is the initial roundup of reviews for Pokemon Pokopia:

UK software sales chart for the week ending February 28, 2026 – Resident Evil Requiem, Tales of Berseria Remastered debut
Posted on 2 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
The latest UK software sales chart for the week ending February 28, 2026 is now available.
Resident Evil Requiem was a huge release last week, and it’s no surprise that it lands at #1. The sales split is where things get interesting – it was 54 percent for PS5, 36 percent for PC, 6 percent for Xbox, and 4 percent for Nintendo Switch 2. While that may seem disappointing, we’re hearing that the Nintendo Switch 2 version did more in its first week than Mario Tennis Fever and was about the same as what Cyberpunk 2077 did last year.
There are a couple of other factors to consider as well. Capcom also sold the Resident Evil Generation Pack on Nintendo Switch 2 – that’s third here. And Requiem is also a game-key card, which may limit physical sales (the chart doesn’t account for digital).
The other new release was Tales of Berseria Remastered. For that one, the split was 54 percent PS5, 38 percent Nintendo Switch, and 8 percent Xbox.
Here’s the full UK software sales chart for the week ending February 28, 2026:
