Nintendo is facing criticism in Brazil over its End User License Agreement (EULA), particularly regarding the possibility of permanently banning Nintendo Switch 2 consoles. The controversy stems from the clause that allows Nintendo to disable a system if pirated software is detected, a practice now being challenged by Brazil’s consumer protection agency, Procon-SP.

Today, Outerminds shared the release date for Turbo Kid on Nintendo Switch. It’s slated for August 5, 2025.

Turbo Kid, a pixel-art Metroidvania game, was announced for Nintendo Switch over a year ago. We did not have a release window until now.

Here’s an overview of the game:

Another big update has dropped for Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time, with players now having access to version 1.4.0.

The latest Famitsu review scores for the week of July 2, 2025 are as follows:

To an extent, online play at a high level has always been difficult in the Mario Kart series. That said, Mario Kart World has upped the difficulty in pretty much every category. Items are more chaotic, the game’s skill ceiling is much higher, and items are much more chaotic (again). These factors make racking up wins online much more difficult, with Knockout Tour in particular being specifically brutal in big groups. Given all the factors out of your control, it’s probably impossible to guarantee wins online – but today, we’re going over some tips and tricks that might help you improve your placement in big races.

Just like the rest of the gaming industry, Nintendo is not immune to rising development costs and the time it takes to create titles. President Shuntaro Furukawa shared a few thoughts on the subject during a shareholders meeting last week.

Furukawa was asked about measures Nintendo is taking about higher game development costs and rising prices, which could mean fewer people playing games. One of his more noteworthy comments is that the company thinks it can come out with appealing titles “even with a short development period,” which could be a way to help the situation.

While many Nintendo Switch 2 owners have been enjoying the system so far, game-key cards are something that still isn’t sitting right with many. Now thanks to a shareholders meeting, we get to hear from Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa as to why they were made in the first place.

For those that haven’t been keeping up with the situation, game-key cards aren’t true physical releases. Although you get a cartridge, there’s basically nothing on it – you need to download all of the data first. Some feel that this defeats the purpose of what a physical release actually is.

Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa has again weighed in on the price of Switch 2, and in particular, the potential impact that could have on younger players. This comes from a recent shareholders meeting.

An investor brought up the fact that Switch 2 costs more than other consoles, which could mean that younger gamers may not have as many opportunities to play the system. Furukawa responded by saying that Nintendo Switch 2’s price “is commensurate with the gaming experience”. For the younger demographic, it was mentioned that Nintendo is “creating various opportunities for young children to experience Nintendo characters and the world of games outside of game consoles”.
