TalkBack / Sea of Stars Coming To Switch 2 Worldwide As Part Of Final Update
« on: Yesterday at 06:49:04 AM »

And the next thing is in development.

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/75949/sea-of-stars-coming-to-switch-2-worldwide-as-part-of-final-update

It turns out Japan was a harbinger for Sea of Stars's Switch 2 version.

Sabotage Studios have brought the game natively to Switch 2 today, alongside GameShare support for the co-op turn based RPG from 2023. The base edition will also get a "Sunset" update with a new cinematic today which will be part of the Switch 2 version from day 1.

As this is the final update for Sea of Stars, Sabotage have confirmed a physical edition via iam8bit is in development and their next game has been in development for roughly a year.

TalkBack / Nintendo Direct Announced For June 9
« on: Yesterday at 05:58:00 AM »

...please hold off on queuing for the Happening Bunker, it's still a mess after the past weekend.

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/75947/nintendo-direct-announced-for-june-9

Nintendo is wasting almost no time in following up the weekend's presentation-palooza with a Direct.

The first no-qualifiers-Direct since September 2025 will air tomnorrow at 10:00 a.m. ET / 7 a.m. PT / 1500 CET / 11:30 in Newfoundland. No length qualifier was provided in the Nintendo Today post, but the YouTube video indicates "roughly 50 minutes".

The Direct is expected to include Nintendo's holiday lineup beyond Splatoon Raiders, including an update on Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave.

TalkBack / Nintendo Downloads - June 11, 2026

Featuring some odd ways to assert dominance this week.

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/75942/nintendo-downloads-june-11-2026

After the seemingly endless list of requests for me to wishlist and play demos on Steam that was the Summer Game Mess weekend, I just want to play something now. Unfortunately, the quality options this week seem too low. There's the multiplatform Indie World game Unrailed 2: Back on Track, hopefully not Keita Takahashi's swan song as a developer in to a T on Switch 2, and maybe the Monday-dropping shooter Solarpunk.

Of course, I wrote that during the first half of the PC Gaming Show, and before the show was over there was a major surprise from Japan where a Switch 2 version of Sea of Stars dropped. Is it a Switch 2 Edition (where you get a discounted upgrade)? Absolutely not. But to be frank, we gave it a 10, so you might want to pick it up anyway. Especially where it includes Throes of the Watchmaker.

THINGS WE MISSED LAST WEEK: Apart from a couple of odd Archives games in Taito's Cameltry and something called "Firework Thrower Kantaro's 53 Stations Of The Tokaido" because Hamster is on one, we also got a Switch 2 edition release of the System Shock 2 remaster and Tetris: The Grand Master 4 on the Switch.

IS THE EGGCONSOLE GAME PLAYABLE IN ENGLISH: It's another release of Mirai, which looks just as fine now as it did last May.

TalkBack / PC Gaming Show Closes Out Main Summer Game Fest Weekend With More Switch 2 And Switch Games
« on: June 07, 2026, 01:00:59 PM »

And they didn't use the full two hours this time, blessedly.

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/75933/pc-gaming-show-closes-out-main-summer-game-fest-weekend-with-more-switch-2-and-switch-games

The PC Gaming Show is traditionally the dropper of the checkered flag for Summer Game Fest weekend, and as usual it brought some new details for the Switch family.

  • New Dave the Diver DLC called "In The Jungle" will be available June 18.
  • Valheim, the viking-themed survival smash hit, will finally go 1.0 on September 9 and will release on Switch 2 the same day.
  • Nightdive Studios announced remastered versions of Thief: The Dark Project (1998) for Switch 2 and Switch this winter, with major voice actors reprising their roles.
  • Remothered: Red Nun's Legacy, the final game in the horror series which began with Switch entries, will jump to Switch 2 for its final game in 2026.
  • Cassette Beasts 2002, the sequel to the musical monster collector, was shown and confirmed a Switch 2 version though no date was given.

TalkBack / Castlevania: Belmont's Curse Features Wall Meat, Releasing In October
« on: June 07, 2026, 10:29:00 AM »

A rumor for now because of a certain platform being missing from the trailer...

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/rumor/75895/castlevania-belmonts-curse-features-wall-meat-releasing-in-october

The 40th anniversary of Castlevania is not going unwhipped.

Castlevania: Belmont's Curse received a release date trailer in today's Xbox showcase, confirming an October 15 launch. Classic gameplay was shown in the trailer (below), including the beloved "whip a wall for health restoring meat" technique.

Although Belmont's Curse was announced for a Switch release in addition to PlayStation 5, PC (via Steam), and Xbox, the presentation version of the trailer omitted Switch from the release platforms. The standalone version of the trailer omits PS5 and Steam, replacing it with credit to the key artist. We are attempting to obtain confirmation that the Switch version will be day and date, but it may be announced at a later time (such as in a Direct should one occur this month).

UPDATE 6:30pm EDT: Konami have confirmed the Switch release date remains 2026, but will provide a firm date at a later time.

TalkBack / Future Games Show Shows More Switch 2 And Switch Games Plus New Vampire Survivors DLC
« on: June 06, 2026, 01:10:52 PM »

It's the future's future's future's... wait, we didn't get a Devolver show this year did we?

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/75839/future-games-show-shows-more-switch-2-and-switch-games-plus-new-vampire-survivors-dlc

The last long show of Saturday's parade of presentations, the Future Games Show had much more Switch 2 content than last year's and even some Switch announcements as well.

  • New DLC for Little Nightmares III called "The Backstage" will be available June 12 (the Friday after press date).
  • A Vincent van Gogh exhibition will be available in Sky: Children of Light starting on July 17.
  • Magic-action 3D platformer Duskfade revealed a Switch 2 version alongside an August 13 release date.
  • Co-op platformer Marsupilami 2: Salsa Palombia will release on September 3 for Switch.
  • Skatesterre, a score-chasing skateboarding game starring Dutch skateboarding star Sterre "Surfsterre" Meijer, will be available for Switch 2 later this summer.
  • The next Vampire Survivors DLC called "Legacy of the Bloodmoon" will be available "soon": the developer confirmed an intended price of 80p, which would likely convert to US$0.99.
  • A new Cronos: The New Dawn DLC called "Lazarus" will attempt to revive the game on Switch 2 this fall.
  • The Road of Dust and Sorrow, a pixel art-styled horror game, will be available for Switch 2 later this year.
  • Former VR first person shooter Arizona Sunshine received a traditional version to open the show, with no release date.

TalkBack / Atari Announces GameCube Godzilla Remaster And Barbie Collection From Digital Eclipse
« on: June 06, 2026, 12:55:29 PM »

Somehow, it seems unlikely that either one of those were on anyone's radar this week.

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/75838/atari-announces-gamecube-godzilla-remaster-and-barbie-collection-from-digital-eclipse

The new Atari is going to two extremes with a remaster and a new game collection announced today.

After retail leaks earlier today, Atari officially confirmed a remastered edition of Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee would be available for Switch 2 and Switch on November 3. The remaster will run the game under Unreal Engine 5, and the Switch 2 version will have a physical release.

The other announcement was the second Digital Eclipse collection of the week, with Barbie Rewind set to release on November 12 for Switch 2 and Switch. The collection promises 16 games, though only 11 were identified between the trailer and later confirmation that one of the games was the previously unreleased Super Nintendo / Sega Genesis game Barbie: Vacation Adventure. The other games:

  • Barbie (1991)
  • Barbie Game Girl (1992)
  • Barbie Super Model (1993)
  • Barbie Vacation Adventure (1994)
  • Barbie Race and Ride (1999)
  • Barbie Super Sports (1999)
  • Barbie Pet Recue (2001)
  • Barbie Groovy Games (2002)
  • Secret Agent Barbie: Royal Jewel Mission (2002)
  • Barbie Horse Adventure: Blue Ribbon Race (2003)
  • The Barbie Diaries: High School Mystery (2006)

A physical edition is available for the Switch version, either standalone or with a version that contains a Barbie with Atari-branded clothing.

TalkBack / Several New Stories Coming To Switch And Switch 2 Via Story Rich Showcase
« on: June 06, 2026, 10:08:21 AM »

Come for the free upgrades, stay for a pretty good pun actually.

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/75836/several-new-stories-coming-to-switch-and-switch-2-via-story-rich-showcase

Fellow Traveler (publishers of 1000xResist and the Citizen Sleeper games among others) held their first showcase focused on story-laden games this year. The new Switch 2 and Switch items from the show:

  • The Citizen Sleeper games will release Switch 2 Editions on June 25, and the critically acclaimed games will offer no-cost upgrades for existing Switch owners.
  • Also receiving a Switch 2 release this year with a free upgrade is Demonschool, and in a possibly related story "Demon Laden Content" focused on puzzle battles will be available as well.
  • The Mermaid Mask, the murder mystery followup to Tangle Tower, will tell its tales on Switch 2 and Switch July 16.
  • ShelfLife: Art School Detective, which crosses a murder mystery with a dating sim, was announced for Switch release but with no release date.

TalkBack / Whole Load Of Games Coming Via Wholesome Direct
« on: June 06, 2026, 09:59:00 AM »

And a surprising number of them are cross-platform for Switch owners.

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/75835/whole-load-of-games-coming-via-wholesome-direct

The annual Wholesome Games showcase did slow down slightly this year compared to previous years but there was still plenty of things for Switch 2 and Switch.

  • The name checks out for "Deer and Boy", an adventure starring a boy and an ever-growing deer which will be available on Switch June 23.
  • Moonlight Peaks, a farming RPG which plays out mostly at night due to your farmer being a vampire, will sprout on Switch 2 and Switch July 7.
  • The newest Cozy Grove game, "Cozy Grove: Camp Spirit" is slated for Switch 2 and Switch launch July 15.
  • The next day sees the Switch 2/Switch release of town builder Go-Go Town.

TalkBack / Puzzle Adventure HOA 2 Announced
« on: June 06, 2026, 07:56:57 AM »

The Southeast Asian Games showcase saved the best bits for the end.

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/75834/puzzle-adventure-hoa-2-announced

One of the more popular indie games on Switch has a sequel that's headed to Nintendo's sequel.

The last announcement of the Summer Game Fest-aligned Southeast Asian Games Showcase revealed a new trailer for HOA 2, a sequel to the overhead adventure that launched on the original Switch in 2021. The sequel will come out on Switch 2 this fall.

Other announcements from the show were along the lines of DLC: 2025 adventure Until Then will receive DLC called "Afterimages" on June 16, and 2023 brawler GigaBash will have Ultraman DLC later this year.

TalkBack / Monster Hunter Wilds Now In Development For Switch 2
« on: June 05, 2026, 06:49:00 PM »

Guess we're not getting a Rise followup anytime soon.

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/75831/monster-hunter-wilds-now-in-development-for-switch-2

It appears Capcom woke up one morning and chose violence, as Monster Hunter Wilds is confirmed to be in development for Switch 2.

Following the announcement of Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance at Summer Game Fest earlier today (the equivalent to Sunbreak for Monster Hunter Rise), Capcom posted a discussion video about the expansion and at the end confirmed a Switch 2 version of the 2025 hunter is now in development. The video is below: if the time jump doesn't go to the 9 minute and 30 second mark, that's where the confirmation is.

The original Monster Hunter Wilds, although initially popular when it released for PC and PlayStation 5 / Xbox Series last year, was also criticized for performance issues, especially on PC where a patch was required nearly a year later to fix an issue where the game was constantly checking for the purchase for each of the game's many downloadable content items individually.

TalkBack / N+ Going Beyond And New Trine Among Switch Day Of The Devs Announcements
« on: June 05, 2026, 04:25:38 PM »

Shout out to the first demo at the last E3 (at least for the news desk).

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/75830/n-going-beyond-and-new-trine-among-switch-day-of-the-devs-announcements

The palate cleanser to Summer Game Fest every year is the Day of the Devs, and the Switch / Switch 2 got some love there as well.

  • Day of the Devs regular Screenbound, a game where navigation in a 3D world is handled by playing in a 2D world, confirmed a planned September 16 launch and releasing on both Switch 2 and Switch.
  • The next day will see the release of Trine 6: Together in Time, the latest in the magic-focused co-op platformer series which began in the early 2010s.
  • Beloved pixel art puzzle platformer N+ will receive a new version next year called N+ Infinity x2 (pronounced "times 2"), which is an online-focused version of the game (both cooperatively and competitively), though it will have a single player option.
  • Tenebris Sombra, a horror game that includes sequences both in pixel art styles and live action, will release on Switch 2 - including a non-Key Card physical release.

TalkBack / Final Fantasy VII: Revelation, Resident Evil Code Veronica Remake Among Summer Game Fest Reveals
« on: June 05, 2026, 03:13:31 PM »

No Bubsy this year, thankfully.

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/75807/final-fantasy-vii-revelation-resident-evil-code-veronica-remake-among-summer-game-fest-reveals

The annual Summer Game Fest presentation started and ended with major games coming to Switch 2 among other platforms.

  • The last item in the show was the reveal of Final Fantasy VII: Revelation for Switch 2 next spring. The final part of the remake trilogy, its release coincides with the original FF7's 30th anniversary and promises an even larger open world than Rebirth. Somehow, this will run on Switch 2.
  • The first announcement of the show was Resident Evil: Veronica, a remake of the 2000 survival horror game which only previously appeared on the GameCube among Nintendo platforms and has not been released since the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. It will release on Switch 2 next year.
  • The previously announced Alien Isolation 2 from Sega (via their Creative Assembly group) confirmed a Switch 2 release but no window.
  • Also on the Sega front, it's Sonic's 30th anniversary and a new season of Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds content was announced including Godzilla and for no explicable reason (apart from checks clearing) Neon Genesis Evangelion. A Sonic-themed version of indie game Pico Park will also be available at a later date.
  • A new open world Hot Wheels racing game called "Hot Wheels: Infinite Rush" will be available on Switch 2 on September 24.
  • The third Koei Tecmo Attack on Titan game was announced with a Switch 2 release: more information will be given on July 1.
  • A new season of Street Fighter 6 content was confirmed, with Final Fantasy VII's Tifa Lockheart among the new playable characters.
  • The latest "Elusive Target" for Hitman: World of Assassination will be Wiz Khalifa, which is available now.
  • A Switch 2 ad confirmed an August release for 3rd person roguelite shooter Armatus.

TalkBack / Elden Ring To Tarnish Switch 2 August 28
« on: June 04, 2026, 06:31:29 AM »

The troubled road to Bloodborne Kart continues.

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/75804/elden-ring-to-tarnish-switch-2-august-28

We finally have a date for the Nintendo debut of the game that killed more websites than SQL injection.

Publisher Bandai Namco have locked in an August 28 release for the From Software developed Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition. Originally released in 2022 for PC and Sony / Microsoft consoles, "Tarnished Edition" also includes the 2024 expansion Shadow of the Erdtree.

The Switch 2 port was announced in the Switch 2 Direct last April with a planned 2025 release, but was delayed for additional polish following reports of poor performance in demos at the Gamescom show.

TalkBack / Several Switch Announcments Made At Sony State Of Play
« on: June 02, 2026, 03:56:00 PM »

"No Rest for the Wicked" implies that its own devs are wicked, which ia just wrong.

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/75803/several-switch-announcments-made-at-sony-state-of-play

Sony's second State of Play was one of the first centerpiece presentations on this week's schedule of reveal shows, and it did bring things beyond Rayman Legends: Retold:

  • Much like how the original Rayman Legends included Rayman Origins (the predecessor game), Retold will include a full Rayman Origins Enhanced Edition when it launches October 1.
  • Also due on October 1 is Dynasty Warriors 3 Remaster for both Switch 2 and the original Switch.
  • A new trailer for Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis - the Amazon-published, Crystal Dynamics developed remake of the original 1996 Tomb Raider - was accompanied by a February 12, 2027 release date. This will include a Switch 2 version.
  • No Rest for the Wicked, the new project from notorious Ori and the Blind Forest / Will of the Wisps developer Moon Studios, will leave Steam Early Access in October 2026: there will be a Switch 2 version at a later date.

TalkBack / Nintendo Downloads - June 4, 2026
« on: June 01, 2026, 04:00:00 AM »

For the Switch 2's first anniversary, we get to greet the most annoying Chad in video games since Warden.

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/75797/nintendo-downloads-june-4-2026

As is standard for the week of Too Many Game Presentations (the news desk is already stocking up on amphetamines for the Wholesome Direct on Saturday), it's a slow week in terms of quantity compared to most. There is one Big Deal game for Switch 2 owners for its first birthday, though, as Final Fantasy VII Rebirth takes you to the point of... ok, did the clock restart on the big spoiler because of Rebirth or has the statute of limitations passed? (And does it even matter?) With another overhyped festival kicking off next week, Konami's eFootball will also be coming to Switch 2 as well. And no, Isekai Villain does not see you play as Truck-kun.

Slim offerings remain on the original Switch, unless you want to see the Kunio-kun boys tackle Journey to the West.

THINGS WE MISSED LAST WEEK: Stray and RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic both got Switch 2 releases with upgrades - or at least that was the plan, but Stray's was delayed to an unspecified tech issue. (Should be free when it drops.) Namco also brought Little Nightmares II to Switch 2. It was also a three Archives week from Hamster, with Namco's Ace Driver making a cross-generation console debut, late-1990s shooter for (we assume) the PlayStation Geki-Oh ShienRyu, and what may be the first time we got an Archives 2 release for a previously released Archives game with a new version of Tatakae! Big Fighter.

IS THE EGGCONSOLE GAME PLAYABLE IN ENGLISH: The eShop screenshots for Marchen Veil II (much like its prequel last year at this time) seem to suggest yes, but if there's a story to be found in the action RPG you won't be able to read it.

TalkBack / Call Of Duty Makes Legally Mandated Return To Nintendo Platforms With Modern Warfare 4 In October
« on: May 28, 2026, 07:41:00 AM »

That's "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4" as opposed to "Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare" which can vote now.

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/75720/call-of-duty-makes-legally-mandated-return-to-nintendo-platforms-with-modern-warfare-4-in-october

For the first time in thirteen years a Nintendo system is getting its Call of Duty on.

Nintendo is confirming that this year's Call of Duty, "Modern Warfare 4", will release on Switch 2 October 23 - the same day as it releases on PlayStation 5, PC, and the Xbox Series. This is the first Call of Duty on a Nintendo console since 2013's Call of Duty: Ghosts launched on the Wii U.

Call of Duty coming to Nintendo hardware was one of the conditions required for Microsoft* to acquire Activision Blizzard King in 2023

TalkBack / Donkey Kong 64 Cursing Nintendo Classics N64 Library Next Week
« on: May 27, 2026, 05:27:41 PM »

We will not pay all of the human monies for this.

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/75719/donkey-kong-64-cursing-nintendo-classics-n64-library-next-week

The prototypical collectathon is coming to N64 next week.

Nintendo has confirmed that 1999's Donkey Kong 64 will make its way to the Nintendo Classics library for N64 next week (the trailer below shows June 3, likely the night of June 2 in North America). The game is infamous for having multiple collectables locked to one of the five playable characters in the game.

it is also well known for producing the DK Rap, later used (without credit to composer Grant Kirkhope) in the first animated Super Mario Bros movie.

TalkBack / Dragon Quest XI Gets Not-Quite-Switch-2-Edition Release, New Dragon Quest Monsters For 40th Anniversary
« on: May 27, 2026, 05:20:43 AM »

And we have a Prime 4 situation on our hands.

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/75718/dragon-quest-xi-gets-not-quite-switch-2-edition-release-new-dragon-quest-monsters-for-40th-anniversary

Today marks the 40th anniversary of the Dragon Quest series, and there are a few announcements for Switch and Switch 2 to celebrate.

  • Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age will release a "definitive" Switch 2 version on September 24, adding graphics and performance options to the 2019 Switch domestic release. Notably, the game is NOT a Switch 2 edition so there appears to be no discounted upgrade, and the retail version will be a Game Key Card.
  • A new Dragon Quest Monsters title ("The Withered World") based around Dragon Quest V will be released for Switch and Switch 2 "soon".
  • Dragon Quest XII, previously known as "The Flames of Fate", has had a full development reboot and as a result now has the subtitle "Beyond Dreams". No platforms have been identified for the game, and there is still no release window.

TalkBack / Nintendo Downloads - May 28, 2026
« on: May 26, 2026, 04:00:00 AM »

Instead of enjoyable game, received scope-crept "souls"like. Would not buy again.

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/75715/nintendo-downloads-may-28-2026

The big release of the week comes from the indie side of the aisle - for a certain definition of indie - as Yacht Club Games returns with their first original property in a dozen years with Mina the Hollower. And based on the promoted size of the games - "over 1200 screens, 17 areas", and so forth... probably not a good idea to bet the fate of the company on selling 200k copies of this, but what do I know. I just know the minute they dropped the "Soulslike" claim, I was out like the fat kid in dodgeball. I'll keep my indie support this week on Indie World veteran My Little Puppy, or Abylight (Amnesia horror series, Hyper Light Drifter) with One Military Camp from PC, or the Team17-published action RPG LumenTale: Memories of Trey.

Bigger titles this week include a Switch 2 edition of Lollipop Chainsaw and Bluey's Quest for the Gold Pen (scope out local Bluey expert Adam Abou-Nasr's review), or a fan disc for Birushana which I read a few years ago.

THINGS WE MISSED LAST WEEK: How do you do Arcade Archives games with boxing gloves on? We can find out with Tag Team Wrestling, the arcade version of the game which introduced Strong Bad to the world prior to Homestar Runner made him a computer name (with the rudo team being called the Strong Bads). The Console brought a game in the series later localized as Glory of Heracles - which of course, isn't localized AT ALL.

IS THE EGGCONSOLE GAME PLAYABLE IN ENGLISH: By some miracle, the EggConsole Heracles is an action game which should be doable.

TalkBack / Nintendo Downloads - May 21, 2026
« on: May 18, 2026, 05:12:00 PM »

And now, a slopping forecast from Environment Canada at 0200 UTC on 19 May: a 90% chance of Roblox derivatives and excessive Midjourney in simulation areas.

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/75623/nintendo-downloads-may-21-2026

This week is notable largely for the release of Nintendo's first game of the "digital is cheaper" era in Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, which I hope is the same book Goombella uses to call the AI obsessed what they are. There's also Tales of Arise from Bamco, a couple of multiplatform games in Coffee Talk Tokyo and R-Type Dimensions III, and... ALLEGEDLY, a good Bubsy game. Has Fabraz actually turned chicken*expletive deleted* into chicken salad? We'll find out once Willem gets home from BitSummit.

For Switch OG, we have Farming Simulator 26 in a rare example of an artisanally, hand crafted simulator (as opposed to the double-digit number of AI generated ones).

THINGS WE MISSED LAST WEEK: The Archives doubleheader was Mr. Do for the Archives and... do we need to start giving the "is this game playable in English" test? Because the Console Archives added PS1-era strategy RPG Master of Monsters: Disciples of Gaia.

IS THE EGGCONSOLE GAME PLAYABLE IN ENGLISH: It's a scrolling shooter, so keep out of the instructions and you're set.

TalkBack / New Nintendo Mobile Game Pictonico! To Launch May 28
« on: May 18, 2026, 04:07:48 PM »

And today we learned there's at least one team at Nintendo with a two drink minimum.

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/75581/new-nintendo-mobile-game-pictonico-to-launch-may-28

For the second time in less than a year, Nintendo is releasing a new mobile game.

A Nintendo Today update has shown a game called "PictoNico!" which will launch on May 28. The game combines basic photo editing (with new photos taken in the app, and people specifically used) and WarioWare-style microgames.

Monetization for the game is through purchases of "volumes" of minigames according to the app's Google Play store description: some demos of games will be included in the free-to-start app.

TalkBack / Nintendo Classics Virtual Boy Drops Five Games In Mass Update
« on: May 13, 2026, 05:19:09 PM »

Mr. Armstrong would be impressed by how much of a stretch "Nintendo Classics Virtual Boy" is.

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/75557/nintendo-classics-virtual-boy-drops-five-games-in-mass-update

The ill-fated Virtual Boy library for the Expansion Pack has dropped a full hand of new games tonight.

  • The headliner is Jack Bros, one of the few third party games for the system that released in North America. An overhead action game in the style of the 2D Legend of Zelda games, it was actually the debut of the Shin Megami Tensei franchise outside Japan.
  • Vertical Force is a Hudson scrolling shooter in the style of their Star Soldier games.
  • V-Tetris is a simple 2D version of the classic puzzle game, though it does include the ability to shift the playfield left / right to complete clears.
  • The Space Invaders Virtual Collection is a Virtual Boy adaptation of the classic Taito shooter game.
  • Virtual Bowling was one of the last games for the platform and only released in Japan by the developer Athena: because of a low print run it is one of the most sought-after games among collectors.

TalkBack / Legend of Zelda Movie Release Date Brought Forward One Week, Now Premieres April 30 2027
« on: May 13, 2026, 03:51:56 PM »

Although not officially cited, there's four things that can explain this move.

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/75556/legend-of-zelda-movie-release-date-brought-forward-one-week-now-premieres-april-30-2027

The inevitably execrable Legend of Zelda film adaptation has had its release date moved again, but this time it's actually moving up.

Nintendo creative fellow Shigeru Miyamoto took to Nintendo's social media channels a short time ago to confirm the Sony Pictures production would now launch on April 30, 2027. Originally planned for March 26, the film was bumped back to May 7 last year.

Although no reason was officially cited, the move allows the film to come out early in Japan's Golden Week holidays (April 29 - May 6 2027) instead of coming out the day after the last of the five statutory holidays.

TalkBack / Switch 2 Bundles To Return, Offering Choice Of Three Games
« on: May 12, 2026, 05:22:00 AM »

Get used to the bundle price.

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/75555/switch-2-bundles-to-return-offering-choice-of-three-games

The "game included" cost of a Switch 2 might be the base price in the fall, but it's offering a choice this summer.

Nintendo has announced the US$499.99 bundle for Switch 2 will offer a choice between three of Switch 2's biggest games - Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, or Pokemon Pokopia - beginning in early June. The games will be included as a digital download code.

Previously the bundle included Mario Kart World at launch, and then a mix of World and Pokemon Legends: Z-A following the action RPG's October release.
