Switch 2

We have more footage from Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition on Nintendo Switch 2, this time showing off handheld mode.

The game’s performance when not running docked has been a big question mark thus far. The title finally made it’s playable debut on Nintendo Switch 2 thus far, and as you may have seen, many people who went hands-on with the demo brought up performance issues. You can make your own judgment now, though we will say that things are a bit limited as the new video is only about three minutes long.

Nintendo has updated the Japanese Switch and Switch 2 release schedule on eShop for the week of August 28, 2025. Various new titles are on the way, highlighted by Kirby Star Allies – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World and Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar.

Here’s a look at the upcoming digital download schedule:


Nintendo provided another status update on Switch 1 backwards compatibility for Switch 2 this week, and has now reported a bug with Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition.

The game itself is largely playable. However, a notice has now been shared that “voices may be out of sync in some areas.” You may seen this in some cutscenes.

Nick Reinhart, general manager at PopCap, recently spoke about why the original Plants vs. Zombies is making a comeback after so many years with the upcoming Replanted remaster.

The title is seeing a new release later this year on Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch. It goes well beyond a port as the team is adding in local co-op and PVP options, the Rest in Peace and Cloudy Day modes, and an art gallery showing previously-unreleased concepts.

Donkey Kong Bananza Easter egg

Donkey Kong Bananza has a special death Easter egg that you may not have noticed. We at least didn’t know about it initially, and in looking into this, it seems a bunch of other players were unaware as well.

We’ll be going into light spoiler territory, so keep that in mind before proceeding. We’re not covering anything story-related, but we will reference one of the final layers in the adventure.

Story of Seasons Grand Bazaar marriage candidates

August 5: Starting today, Marvelous is kicking off a weekly video series for Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar that will introduce the eligible marriage candidates for Story of Season: Grand Bazaar. New ones will be going live on a regular basis.

Twelve bachelors and bachelorettes are in the game. First up is Sophie, “whose devotion to revitalizing Zephyr Town is as infectious as her smile, get to know her likes, dislikes, and see more of her charming personality on display.”

A new leak for Pokemon Legends: Z-A has apparently happened, with images showing showing brand new Mega Evolutions.

We’ll be posting both shots after the break. Keep that in mind before proceeding.

Kirby Air Riders has officially confirmed plans for local mutliplayer splitscreen support.

Not including the feature would have been an odd omission. However, some fans were concerned that it wouldn’t be a part of the Nintendo Switch 2 game. During this week’s Nintendo Direct for the title, splitscreen multiplayer for Kirby Air Riders actually wasn’t mentioned.

The latest expanded Japanese software sales are as follows:

The very first footage is now in showing Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition running on Nintendo Switch 2.
