The latest Nintendo Switch 2 eShop charts for the week of February 22, 2026 are now available.
Mario Tennis Fever had some tough competition, but has managed to hold on to the top spot – though that may not last much longer. For one thing, Capcom is bringing out a few Resident Evil games shortly – including Resident Evil Requiem – so that’s already coming out hot with pre-loads. Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition also comes out swinging here with two entries in the top five.
Below are the full Nintendo Switch 2 eShop charts for the week of February 22, 2026:
Nearly a decade after it originally released, The Disney Afternoon Collection will finally hit Nintendo platforms next week with its launch on Switch 2 and Switch. Fans had originally been clamoring to see the package back in 2017, and Digital Eclipse was finally able to make it happen.
We recently had a chance to speak with Chris Kohler, editorial director at Digital Eclipse, to learn more about The Disney Afternoon Collection on Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch. Not only will Nintendo players be getting the entire release, but two new games have been added as well – making this the definitive version.
Here’s our full discussion:
Warriors-style games aren’t for everyone – but clearly, there is still plenty of enjoyment to be found because we’ve gotten a rather steady stream of them over the years. These titles were generally developed at least in part by Omega Force, which is a subsidiary of Koei Tecmo. Their first large-scale collaboration with Nintendo was Hyrule Warriors in 2014, and as you can guess, it went over well – so much so, that it spawned a 3DS port, an enhanced version for Nintendo Switch, and numerous sequels. Most recently, we received Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment on Nintendo Switch 2.
But there have been a few other big Warriors-style games – Fire Emblem is the other big one, and it has received two unique games so far (not counting ports and such). There’s also Persona 5 Strikers, which doesn’t have much to do with Nintendo, but it’s another example of a major franchise that has its own Warriors “spin-off” (in quotations because Strikers isn’t really a spin-off). We now know that these games are very successful, which means we’ll be seeing more in the future. Zelda Warriors games are great, but how many of them can we get before we need a little break? Here are some Nintendo franchises we’d like to see turned into Warriors games.
Capcom has come out with the latest trailer for Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection, which focuses on the game’s story.
The description teases: “There’s something out there beyond anything we can imagine, and that something is the source of the Encroachment. As calamity closes in from all angles, it’s your duty to pick up the torch and see it through.”
There was a big addition to Nintendo Switch Online this week, which was the Virtual Boy. Many years after the hardware’s original release – arguably the biggest failure in Nintendo’s history – it’s back and you can play select games right now – sort of.
With most classic systems – be it the NES or GameCube – you can play as soon as you download the relevant app. With the Virtual Boy, however, Nintendo has been promoting the purchase of an accessory – either a dedicated option that replicates the original system or a cardboard alternative. This is because the hardware was originally made for stereoscopic 3D.
Have you experienced Virtual Boy – Nintendo Classics yet, or do you not have any interest? If you’ve played the games, what are your impressions? Let us know in the comments.
