System: Switch 2
Release date: March 26, 2026
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.

Metacritic just went live with its 16th annual publisher rankings, and as usual we’re able to get a look at Nintendo’s placement. The company did see an improvement this past year.
Previously, Nintendo ranked #22 in 2024. In 2025, the company was actually powered by past titles – Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom’s new Nintendo Switch 2 Edition scored well with critics and were some of the highest rated releases. Another game that did well was Donkey Kong Bananza, which had a score of 91. Drag x Drive was one title which lowered Nintendo’s Metascore.

Posted on 1 week ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
SEGA appears to be working on Sonic Frontiers Definitive Edition. Although there’s been no official announcement, a rating for the game has now surfaced in Korea from The Game Rating and Administration Committee.
The rating doesn’t provide any information and technically doesn’t confirm a Nintendo release. However, we’d be surprised if Nintendo Switch 2 wasn’t included in the plans here. Sonic Frontiers was a little rough on the original Nintendo Switch from a technical standpoint, so a Switch 2 version could greatly improve the experience. SEGA could also choose to include new content / features.
