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

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.

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

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.

And we have a Prime 4 situation on our hands.

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

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

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...... Read more...

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.

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... Read more...

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

Get used to the bundle price.

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.

What game will weave its way into a fortune in mid September to go along with it?

A surprise Nintendo Today drop has announced some post-Switch 2 price bump merch.

The posting has confirmed an Amiibo based on Mineru's Construct from The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom will be available on September 17. The main feature of the new figure is articulated arms which can be posed in several different ways.

Did you know: You can get Star Fox 64K in its original form along with four other entire system libraries for a year for the cost of one game?

The Switch 2 is beginning to pick up the pace a bit on releases with a couple of Summer Game Mess / Indie World veterans in Call of the Elder Gods and Outbound, but perhaps the biggest thing coming this week is its Geometry Wars: the beloved PC twin-stick shooter Sektori is making its way to consoles with Switch 2 among them. And based on the way people who played it on Steam talk, this might be an all-timer.

Not bothering with year over year comparisons due to lack of a point.

Amid a flurry of announcements, Nintendo announced their fiscal results for the 2025-26 fiscal year overnight, the first annual results of the Switch 2 era.

All figures quoted in yen, with USD$ figures at market rates (US$1 = ¥156.7) provided for comparison only.

Financial results:

Revenue: ¥2,313bn (approximately $14.76bn) for the year, ¥407.117bn (~$2.6bn) in fourth quarter

Seems as though one of the original Super Mario Bros power trio is hanging up the keyboard.

One of the longest-tenured developers at Nintendo is about to enjoy a well-earned retirement.

A notice of "Personnel Change of Company Officers" (PDF link) issued today by Nintendo lists Takashi Tezuka as retiring from the position of Executive Officer at Nintendo on June 26, 2026. As Tezuka was largely retired from day-to-day operations at Nintendo, this signals his final retirement from the company.

Unfortunately, this isn't likely to change even if Musk v Altman ends in the meteor.

There's a lot of warning but the price of the Switch 2 is going up as feared.

Alongside their fiscal year financial statements issued this morning was a notice of price increases to begin on September 1st. The United States, Canada, and Europe will all see the price of the Switch 2 increase by... Read more...

As in "we got five minutes warning this was happening".

Following a Nintendo Direct with five minutes of warning on social media, a new treatment of Star Fox 64 has been announced for Switch 2. Simply known as "Star Fox", the game will release on June 25, with pricing TBD. The game's eShop listing has the game at US$49.99, C$69.99, €49.99, and ¥5480 for digital with commensurate increases for physical.

When "a light week" is still over 40 I'm beginning to think the Ripley Doctrine needs to come to the Switch eShop sooner rather than later.

So this is what a light week looks like, huh? Sure, the Switch 2 is quiet - a Switch 2 edition of the Blood (FPS) remake and Annapurna's Mixtape which you might recall from the March Indie World. Meanwhile, there's over 40 game-like substances on the Switch and yet I'm having a hard time finding one for your consideration beyond Kill It With Fire 2 from tinyBuild. Syrenne, help.
