Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties review for Nintendo Switch 2
Posted on 1 month ago by Richard Ford in Reviews, Switch 2 | 0 comments
System: Switch 2
Release date: February 12, 2026
Developer: RGG Studio
Publisher: SEGA
With Nintendo now a certified home for the Yakuza/Like A Dragon franchise following the releases of Yakuza 0 Director’s Cut, Kiwami and Kiwami 2, Switch 2 players get to experience a new adventure in the series day-and-date with other console users for the first time. This is thanks to RGG’s latest remake title Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties, a shiny new version of the early PS3 title Yakuza 3 with a brand new campaign added onto the package. Seen as a bit of a black sheep in the franchise for taking a less action-focused story in favor of a slower, more character driven plot, for me personally it is my favorite entry. The reaction to the announcement of this remake was mixed to say the least, but I was super excited to play a cleaner, more polished version of a game I was already fond of. There’s quite a lot to unpack here, so let’s start with the plot.

Posted on 1 month ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Interviews, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
After it originally released on PlayStation, Dragon Quest 7 came to Nintendo 3DS about a decade ago with a remake. Square Enix has now decided to revisit it once more with a second remake, Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined for Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch, which features its own visual style and makes various gameplay adjustments.
Alongside the launch of Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined, we caught up with producer Takeshi Ichikawa to learn a bit more about the project. Aside from talking about the game itself, Ichikawa spoke about why it’s the right time to bring back the RPG again.
You can find our full discussion below.

Pokemon Presents predictions for Pokemon Day 2026
Posted on 1 month ago by Ethan Gnau in Features, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
At the time of writing, an official Pokemon Presents hasn’t been officially announced – but there’s no way it won’t be, right? The Pokemon Company has held a Pokemon Day broadcast every single year for as long as we can remember, and 2026 will be no exception. Be sure to clear your calendar, because the presentation is generally held at around 9 AM EST on February 27 each year. Each broadcast follows a similar format, which makes predicting them fairly straightforward. This year, we fully expect the tenth generation of Pokemon to be revealed for Nintendo Switch 2 – it’s been four years since Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, and it seems Pokemon Legends: Z-A is done getting updates and new content now that the Mega Dimension DLC has released. So here are our (very safe) predictions and wishes for Pokemon Day, the Pokemon Presents, and the tenth generation of Pokemon. It’ll be interesting to see how much of this comes true!

Lovish review for Nintendo Switch
Posted on 1 month ago by Ellie Lutes in Reviews, Switch eShop | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: February 5, 2026
Developer: Labs Works
Publisher: Dangen Entertainment
If one were to take a classic NES-era dungeon crawler and injected it with the most unhealthy dose of romantic insecurity on the planet, what might occur is Lovish. Now shake it violently like a snow globe until random events fall out and what you end up with is one of the most hilariously absurd romps to grace Nintendo Switch in quite some time.
