Virtua Fighter 5 is back …again! Originally released in Japanese arcades back in July 2006, Virtua Fighter 5 is the most recent title in the legacy SEGA series that helped shape modern 3D fighters. There have been several revisions for arcades and consoles over its 20-year history. Now in 2026, we have another version that is almost unrecognizable from its first home release on the PlayStation 3. Running in RGG’s Dragon Engine, in use since Yakuza 6, Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. World Stage has a whole new facelift, UI redesign, improved sound design, battle changes, new costumes, DLC and rollback netcode for online fighting at an optimal level. If Nintendo gamers want their first taste of the magic that made Virtua Fighter 5 a game so good they’ve been releasing it for two decades, the ultimate version of the martial arts masterpiece is here on Switch 2.

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.

This week, Nintendo Switch 2 received what was its biggest system update so far. There was a good amount added and improved, but the most significant feature was the inclusion of Handheld Mode Boost. When turned on, it forces Nintendo Switch 1 games to be played as if they were docked when playing portably. If you’re primarily a handheld player, this is a significant feature as it can give you a better image on-screen.

Have you gotten around to trying out the Handheld Mode Boost on Nintendo Switch 2? Which games have you tested? Let us know in the comments.
