Reggie Fils-Aime, former president of Nintendo of America, has shared behind-the-scenes information as to why the company stopped selling Wii and DS systems to Amazon back in the day.
Over the years, the two companies have had a bit of tumultuous relationship. It’s caused the two sides to stop working together on multiple occasions. One of the first instances of this was during the Wii and DS era.
Today, Aniplex and French-Bread announced Melty Blood: Twi-Lumina for various platforms, including Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch. The game is planned to launch in early 2027.
Melty Blood: Twi-Lumina is a new fighting game entry in the Melty Blood franchise. Details thus far are limited.
Here’s what Aniplex has shared:
The latest Nintendo Switch eShop charts for the week of May 2, 2026 are now available.
Tell us if you’ve heard this before: Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream is on top. For new games, you have to look at the download-only side of the equation. That list has Elementallis, Monster Crown: Sin Eater, Constance, and more in the top 30.
Below are the full Nintendo Switch eShop charts for the week of May 2, 2026:
Courtesy of Top Hat Studios and Ankae Games, we have the launch trailer for Elementallis. The game, a retro-meets-modern Zelda-like, landed on Nintendo Switch this week.
All of the important details can be found in the following rundown:
The next big Nintendo Switch 2 port is about to arrive with Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. With the release fast approaching, we caught up with creative director Axel Torvenius at MachineGames to talk about the game in a bit more depth.
The Nintendo Switch 2 version, as you would expect, was a big talking point with our conversation covering tech specs and fitting the game onto a cartridge. We also spoke about how the game originally came about and the decision to go with a first-person perspective.
Today, we’ve listed off five weak Pokemon that deserve some time in the spotlight with a new evolution. It’s possible we could see a Paldea Pokemon receive its own evolution, but for the sake of the list, we’ve kept it limited to Pokemon that have been around for more than a single generation.
Now that Pokemon Winds and Waves have been revealed, it’s time for the fun part: speculating! Pokemon Scarlet and Violet introduced a whole bunch of new evolutions for old Pokemon, so it’s safe to assume Pokemon Winds and Waves will do the same.
BTF and Blue Backpack are here with a launch trailer for Constance. Starting today, Nintendo Switch owners can grab the hand-drawn action adventure game.

In a bit of a random move from Nintendo, Super Mario Galaxy 2 received an update on Switch and Switch 2 this week that added an all-new epilogue chapter to the storybook. Many were afraid that it would tie into The Super Mario Galaxy Movie and its new story additions, but that doesn’t seem to be the case here. So today, we’re going over our interpretation of what this epilogue might mean. We’ll be covering full spoilers for Super Mario Galaxy 2, so keep that in mind before you continue!
You almost never see a first-party Nintendo game on sale before release, but that’s exactly what’s happened with a couple of upcoming Switch 2 titles as Splatoon Raiders and Yoshi and the Mysterious Book have been discounted.
Both games are currently $10 off. Splatoon Raiders is down to $50 while Yoshi and the Mysterious Book is available for $60. The actual prices you’ll find at most retailers is $60 and $70 respectively.
Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto has spoken about the approach to Peach’s character in the games and how he wanted to change things up for the movies.
In the mainline Super Mario titles, they’re typically about Peach being kidnapped. She’s essentially sidelined until the end when Mario rescues her. There’s been some criticism about this, which Miyamoto says he understands, but wanted to address this by changing things up with the movies.
