Konami is making Picross S Konami Antiques Edition for Nintendo Switch, the company has announced. It’s due out on April 30, 2026. A demo launches on April 16.
Picross S Konami Antiques Edition features Gradius, TwinBee, Castlevania, Ganbare Goemon, and Contra. All of them will be showing up, of which there’ll be over 80 different titles appearing throughout the game’s puzzles.
Arc System Works unveiled its plans for Guilty Gear Strive today, including news about DLC characters Jam Kuradoberi and Robo-Ky plus an update on the version 2.00 update.
Jam Kuradoberi kicks off Season Pass 5 on April 9, 2026. Robo-Ky will follow this summer. After that, two more DLC characters will be released in Winter 2026 and Spring 2027. One thing we’ll note is that it’s possible we’ll be seeing the DLC later in the Nintendo Switch version – meaning the April 9 date for Jam Kuradoberi may not apply here.
Listings on the eShops provide file sizes for a bunch of Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch games. These include Super Mario Bros. Wonder – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Meetup in Bellabel Park, Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection, and more.

The latest Nintendo Switch 2 eShop charts for the week of March 22, 2026 are now available.
Continuing its streak, Pokemon Pokopia is still #1 this week. However, the game may face a tough test coming up with Super Mario Bros. Wonder’s Nintendo Switch 2 Edition. Right now its upgrade pack is second with pre-loads alone – we’ll have to see what happens when the game launches. Elsewhere, Deadzone: Rogue debuts at #10.
Below are the full Nintendo Switch 2 eShop charts for the week of March 22, 2026:
Whether you love or hate the modern Pokemon era, it’s safe to agree that Nintendo Switch has a huge selection of games in the series to pick from. You’ve got Pokemon Scarlet and Violet for open-world gameplay, Sword and Shield for a more classic and experimental experience, Legends Arceus for a whole new take on the franchise, and Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl if you want to be bored out of your mind. But now, for the first time in several years, Pokemon has made two of its legacy titles available – and available on Nintendo Switch for the first time ever. By this point, many of us are growing tired of Kanto – we have full-price Kanto remakes on the system already, even – so the thought of playing FireRed and LeafGreen again wasn’t hugely exciting to me, even as a huge Pokemon fan. 35 hours later, though, and it’s clear to me that these games really are the definitive versions of Kanto. Whether you’ve played these games before and are coming back for more, or if you’ve never really gotten into Pokemon and want a good place to start, FireRed and LeafGreen are great options.
Bloodstained: The Scarlet Engagement has been listed for Nintendo Switch alongside an unannounced Switch 2 title from 505 Games.
The Scarlet Engagement, a sequel to the original, was previously announced last year. Although there wasn’t any news about a Nintendo release, the latest discovery suggests that we’ll be getting it on Switch at the very least. It’d be somewhat surprising to see it on Nintendo Switch rather than Switch 2, but it’s always possible that plans could change (or there was a mistake here).
