BeXide has announced Namco Legendary Mountains for the Nintendo Switch, and the Nintendo Switch 2. The title is planned for launch this summer, with an exact release date not yet provided.
Namco Legendary Mountains is similar to titles like 2048 and Suika Game in which you combine icons to create bigger ones. The twist however, is that it takes place in a 3D space and uses elements in theme with Namco’s rich history.

As fun as it is to watch Harrison Ford hunt down ancient relics in the old Indiana Jones films, it’s really Indy’s video games that are the relics these days. It’s been a long time since we’ve had a good one, and after playing the incredibly middling Staff of Kings back in 2009, I feared we’d probably never get another. For many years, we didn’t, until in 2024 when Swedish studio MachineGames released a bold new type of Indiana Jones game: one that’s played almost entirely in first-person. Now, that experience has landed on the Nintendo Switch 2, promising a globetrotting immersive adventure that puts players in the archaeologist’s well-worn shoes – and, somehow, on a portable console to boot.
GameStop kicked off a new sale today, and it’s a pretty big one with various Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch games included. One batch of titles is on sale for just $15 and another batch is down to $35.
