Instead of eagerly anticipating a revolutionary Mario game to mark his 40th anniversary, what was unveiled during September’s Nintendo Direct was a charming Pokemon game starring the shape-shifting Pokemon, Ditto.
In addition to what we already knew about the game, here are some fresh insights: Firstly, similar to Tears of the Kingdom, players will have the ability to utilize Zonai Devices for combat purposes. Secondly, the game can be played cooperatively by two players on one screen, though it’s important to note that it won’t be released on the original Nintendo Switch. However, through the GameShare function, you can engage in online co-op play with someone who owns the first console.
The announcement made clear that Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade is set for both physical and digital distribution.

According to the recent Nintendo Direct presentation, Stardew Valley on the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 will capitalize on the new console’s features and offer mouse control options.

Dragon Quest VII: Reimagined is a complete overhaul of the 2000 PlayStation game, sharing a likeness with Dragon Quest XI in terms of improved graphics. The narrative follows the adventures of a young hero hailing from tranquil Estard Island, accompanied by companions Kiefer and Maribel. Their discovery of ancient ruins grants them the power to traverse time, unveiling forgotten continents that were sealed away centuries ago. Players must address the calamities that caused these lands’ demise and bring them back to life in the current era, gradually piecing together the world one piece at a time.
As a gaming enthusiast, I’m super excited to share that Nintendo is working on an accessory inspired by the iconic Virtual Boy! Picture this: you slot your Switch or Switch 2 into it, position your face right up against the game screen – just like the good ol’ days with the original Virtual Boy.
Nintendo hasn’t disclosed a release date yet, but they’ve confirmed it’s coming in the future. And if that’s not enough to get you pumped, they’re also crafting a budget-friendly cardboard model for those who want to recreate the immersive experience at a lower price point.
The full plastic replica of the Virtual Boy will cost $100, while the cardboard version will set you back only $25. So gear up fellow gamers; it’s time to relive the classic Virtual Boy experience with a modern twist!
A physical version of Hades 2 for Switch 2 will arrive on November 20.
After a less-than-enthusiastic response to Resident Evil 6 in terms of both reception and sales, Resident Evil 7 marked a significant shift for the franchise and Capcom. This game, the first full-length title using the RE Engine, brought the series back to its survival-horror roots and garnered widespread critical praise. Following this success, Capcom’s remakes of Resident Evil 2 and 3 were also met with positive feedback, while the Resident Evil 4 remake was one of the top video games in 2023.
Initially, Resident Evil: Requiem was revealed at Summer Game Fest back in June. This upcoming Resident Evil installment takes place 30 years following the initial Raccoon City catastrophe. The protagonist is Grace Ashcroft, an FBI agent, who explores the abandoned Wrenwood Hotel in pursuit of explanations after a string of gruesome occurrences.
