Astrolabe Games and Frozen Lake Games uploaded a launch trailer for Old School Rally. The retro-inspired rally racer, which is on Nintendo Switch, came out this week.
Get all of the details in the following overview:
Following the launch of Nintendo Switch 2, we’re putting together a complete list of Nintendo Switch 2 games with a game-key card release.
This is a new approach to physical media, which has seen a mixed reaction. In a way, it’s a hybrid between a true physical release and a download code. Each box comes with a cartridge, but there’s nothing really included. Rather than coming with all content, you’ll need to download the game first. After that you don’t need to connect online, but you need to insert the card each time you play.
Following its launch this week, Nightdive Studios has prepared a launch trailer for Blood: Refreshed Supply, which is now on Nintendo Switch. The 1997 cult classic shooter is on consoles on the first time with new content, improvements, and nonstop hellfire-fueled mayhem.
A whole slew of details can be found in the following rundown:
Nintendo recently shared new data revealing the best-selling games on the Japanese Switch 2 and Switch eShops for November 2025.

The full lineup of Japan’s best-selling games on the Switch 2 and Switch eShops for November 2025 is as follows:

The latest Nintendo Switch 2 eShop charts for the week of December 7, 2025 are now available.
There have been a lot of new games coming out over the past few week or so, but Metroid Prime 4: Beyond hits #1. Octopath Traveler 0 actually has two entries in the top five. Meanwhile, Marvel Cosmic Invasion takes the second spot.
Below are the full Nintendo Switch 2 eShop charts for the week of December 7, 2025:
Do you remember the “Nindies” term that Nintendo used to bring up on a regular basis? It was very prominent in the Wii U / 3DS era, and even the very early Nintendo Switch days. You probably don’t need us to tell you what it was for, but essentially it was an easy way to label indie games on Nintendo platforms.
These days, “Nindies” is all but forgotten. So what happened to the name? During a recent podcast episode, former Nintendo of America employees Kit Ellis and Krysta Yang spoke about the situation.
All things considered, Nintendo Switch 2 has had a fairly strong start for its first six months on the market. While we’re still missing heavy hitters like new entries in the Animal Crossing and Super Smash Bros. franchises (and they could be years away), we’ve received several high-profile exclusives over the course of the past few months. Now that Kirby Air Riders has been out for a while, we can finally rank them all based on quality. That being said, just about all of Nintendo’s Switch 2 exclusives this year are hits, with only a few small exceptions.
As a heads-up, we’re only including fully exclusive games here, which means you won’t see Metroid Prime 4: Beyond or Pokemon Legends: Z-A (since they were developed for the original Nintendo Switch). They’re both great too, though!
This was a pretty huge week in the Nintendo world as Metroid Prime 4: Beyond finally released following years of anticipation. Now that the game has finally arrived, we want to know how you’re feeling about the game if you’ve started it up.
Many of you likely know about the Metroid Prime 4: Beyond journey. After it was announced in 2017 with a different studio in charge, Nintendo scrapped the entire project and rebooted the game with Retro Studios – the series’ original developer – taking over. That announcement took place at the start of 2019. Years went by, but now fans can finally see how the final product turned out.
So if you’re playing Metroid Prime 4, what are your thoughts so far? Let us know in the comments below.
