January 25: It’s taken longer than expected, but Pokemon Legends: Z-A user icons have now arrived on Nintendo Switch Online. They’re available for Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch users now.

Typically icons are added to the service around a game’s release. However, we didn’t see anything back in October and things were quiet when the Mega Dimension DLC released.

System: Switch 2
Release date: February 12, 2026
Developer: Camelot
Publisher: Nintendo

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?

Mario Tennis Fever is now here, and as Nintendo’s newest release, it’s no surprise to see it at #1. For other new games, Reanimal cracks the top five (with a separate edition a few spots down). If you look at the download-only side of things, Tokyo Scramble appears as well.

New data provided by Famitsu gives us a look at Japan’s best-selling games of January 2026.

The top five is actually comprised of only three games thanks to different Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch versions. However, once again, it’s Mario Kart World taking the top spot. The start of the year tends to be slow, so there aren’t new releases here.

Below is the full list of Japan’s best-selling games of January 2026:

Believe it or not, things used to be much worse from Pokemon fans. You’d buy a copy of Pokemon Diamond or Pearl, only for Platinum to come out at full price later on. Not only did you have to spend $40 all over again, but you had to play the entire game over again. That warrants the incredibly tedious process of trading over all your Pokemon, one-by-one. And while many of the third version titles are the definitive versions of their respective regions – Emerald, Platinum, and Black 2 and White 2 – it never feels good having to restart your adventure from scratch. Thankfully, it seems this trend is just about over and done with. Since 2019, Pokemon has opted to develop and release DLC for its main series titles instead. With this system, you can continue your adventure in a new sub-region without having to start over. And today, we’re ranking every single Pokemon DLC to see which one comes out on top.

There were quite a few heavy hitters announced for the first time, focusing on returning franchises. The lineup includes Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse, Rayman: 30th Anniversary Edition (which you can play right now), Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2, Legacy of Kain: Ascendance and Legacy of Kain: Defiance Remastered, and Brigandine Abyss.
