Indika on Nintendo Switch is an interesting title. It’s one of those rare games that I can only say feels like the moment you go to open the door of a cleaning closet, not sure what you’ll find – like it’s your first day on a new job. Developed by Odd Meter, this short, narrative-focused adventure blends dark humor, surrealism, and religious introspection into a package that constantly shifts between the sacred and the absurd. On Nintendo Switch, that experience becomes rather intimate, and sometimes uncomfortably so, as you guide a young nun through a world that is half bleak fairy tale and half spiritual fever dream.

Yakuza Kiwami 2 review for Nintendo Switch 2

Posted on 1 day ago by Richard in Reviews, Switch 2 | 0 comments

System: Switch 2
Release date: November 13, 2025
Developer: RGG Studio
Publisher: SEGA

SEGA’s series of Japanese underworld epics continue to release on Nintendo systems with Yakuza Kiwami 2 on Switch 2. Much like its predecessor, it’s a remake of a classic title in the series built from the ground up for modern hardware. With it, you have the best version of that story and that game available to play. Much like the remake of the previous entry, this game similarly adds plenty of new quests, new cutscenes, and builds on the core of what the most recent mainline release did. If Yakuza 1 is like a crime drama, Yakuza 2 is closer to an action film, which has Kazuma Kiryu again in the spotlight – though we won’t spoil the story here. The narrative this time around isn’t too difficult to follow, but it still follows on directly from the previous one, so if you haven’t played that yet, please do.

Characters we could still see in Kirby Air Riders

Posted on 5 days ago by Ethan in Features, Switch 2 | 0 comments

A few months back, we compiled a list of characters we’d like to see added to Kirby Air Riders. And fortunately, several of our picks actually came true – Marx, Taranza, Rocky, and Daroach were all revealed in the recent presentation held for the game. The same video also revealed that Kirby Air Riders won’t receive any DLC – a refreshing chance of pace to receive a complete game from day one, for sure, but it also means that the base game’s character roster will be final.

At the time of writing, we aren’t sure if Masahiro Sakurai has revealed every single character in Kirby Air Riders. During the game’s Direct, it was never clarified if everything during the presentation rounded out the roster Historically – and with the exception of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate – Sakurai tends to leave a couple of characters hidden for players to unlock. So today, we’re looking at a few remaining contenders that we could see in the game.

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment review for Nintendo Switch 2

Posted on 6 days ago by Ethan in Reviews, Switch 2 | 0 comments

System: Switch 2
Release date: November 6, 2025
Developer: Koei Tecmo
Publisher: Nintendo

It goes without saying that Hyrule Warriors is no doubt the most successful spin-off series The Legend of Zelda has ever seen. The original Hyrule Warriors was met with praise when it released on Wii U, and things have only gone up from there. More recently, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity released on Nintendo Switch. And though it received generally positive reviews, its performance was heavily criticized. To sum up Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, then – if you liked Age of Calamity, you’ll love this game. Though its performance isn’t perfect, it’s a huge step up from the previous title and offers tons of satisfying hack-and-slash gameplay.

The worst Pokemon in Pokemon Legends: Z-A

Posted on 6 days ago by Ethan in Features, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments

Pokemon Legends: Z-A has been out for a little while now, and players are starting to get involved in the game’s competitive scene. It looks much different than the turn-based combat of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet – namely, Speed isn’t as important in the real-time battle system, which means Pokemon like Metagross, Excadrill, and Gyarados all rule the game at the moment. Even so, there are plenty of Pokemon that just don’t make the cut. Winning with these Pokemon online would be a real challenge!

One of Switch 2’s biggest flaws, and why Nintendo might never fix it

Posted on 1 week ago by Ethan in Features, Switch 2 | 0 comments

The Nintendo Switch 2 has been available for around four months now. For the most part, things have been going rather well – there’s a good amount of new games, just about every old Nintendo Switch title is compatible, and the console is widely available for purchase without invitations. That said, the system isn’t perfect: there’s obviously the whole situation about its price, though the same can now be said for PlayStation and Xbox as well. However, there’s another particularly troublesome flaw that doesn’t seem to be going away anytime soon: most Nintendo Switch games look worse on Switch 2 when played in handheld mode. Of course, if you’re playing in docked mode, things look just about the same. But a huge chunk of people play their console mostly or exclusively in handheld mode – that’s the entire draw of the console, after all – so the fact that many Switch 1 games are blurry is a big problem. And unfortunately, I don’t think Nintendo can or will fix this issue outside of releasing the occasional Switch 2 Edition. Here’s why.

Dragon Quest 1 & 2 HD-2D Remake review for Nintendo Switch 2

Posted on 2 weeks ago by Jeremy in Reviews, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments

System: Switch 2 (reviewed), Switch
Release date: October 30, 2025
Developer: Artdink
Publisher: Square Enix

How do you follow up the remake of one of the most popular JRPGs of all time? Well, you take that beautiful HD-2D engine and remake both of the game’s predecessors using the same assets of course. And how do you dodge complaints that using the same game engine for these remakes is a lazy rehash? By putting an insane amount of effort into modernizing and expanding the stories, characters, lore, and world of these two classic RPGs. Square Enix and developer Artdink present for your consideration: Dragon Quest 1 & 2 HD-2D Remake. It’s two retro RPG remakes for the price of one! But is it worth it? (spoiler: yes, but with some caveats).

Satisfye ZenGrip 2 review for Nintendo Switch 2

Posted on 2 weeks ago by Ethan in Reviews, Switch 2 | 0 comments

It’s been a big year for Nintendo Switch 2 accessories, as tons of different manufacturers try to get in on the action with their own products. We’ve reviewed the Genki Attack Vector, the Savage Raven NeoGrip, the Savage Raven StandGrip, the JSAUX Split Protective Case, and the dbrand Killswitch. And after testing out all of these grips (and spending a crazy amount of money), we’ve finally found the best one. It took a while for Satisfye’s ZenGrip 2 to become available – shipping delays and such means that customers are only now receiving their item – but many have found that the wait was worth it. How does the ZenGrip 2 hold up against other options on the market?
