Original: A listing for Pokemon FireRed and Pokemon LeafGreen have appeared on the “Coming Soon” tab of the eShop. Each game is priced at $19.99, and both are set to release on February 27, 2026.

The title is stated to support local wireless play, with Pokemon Home support being added at a later time. It should be noted that each language has its own listing. The US eShop has English, Spanish and French; The EU adds German and Italian listings; and the Japanese eShop only has the title in Japanese.

You can see the full description of FireRed from the eShop below. The LeafGreen description is identical with the title of the game swapped.

Square Enix’s Naoki Hamaguchi has again commented on game-key cards, and now directly spoke about why we wouldn’t be seeing Final Fantasy 7 Remake on Nintendo Switch 2 if they didn’t exist.

Despite some backlash, many publishers have been bringing out their titles as game-key cards. Final Fantasy 7 Remake was one instance of this, and it’ll be happening again with Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth – and almost certainly the series’ conclusion as well.

Mario Tennis Fever review

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?
