There is a particular kind of disbelief that sets in the first time Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade loads on a Nintendo Switch 2 in handheld mode. Not because the game merely runs at this point, that expectation feels sort of outdated – but because it runs with such a fluidity that it quickly stops calling attention to itself. You might simply melt into the experience, and I think that’s exactly what they set out to do.
Today, Nintendo announced that the Aquarium Tour inspired by Animal Crossing: New Horizons will be back in the United States for 2026. This kicks off on February 13.
Not only will the tour be returning to previous locations, but there’ll be new ones getting in on the fun as well. Attendees can look forward to Animal Crossing: New Horizons themed activities and also experience the variety of aquatic life featured at each aquarium.
The following activities are planned:
Chris Pratt, the voice of Mario in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, has teased some surprise characters for the film.
The movie is already confirmed to be bringing in some new faces such as Rosalina, who will be played by Brie Larson. Bowser Jr. will be showing up on the big screen as well. Apparently we’ll be seeing some others though that Pratt says are “really incredible.”
VGP – or VideoGamesPlus – has started to make more noise in the video game space over the past few years. While the Canadian retailer has been selling games for awhile, it’s also now become known for restocks of physical releases on Switch. Titles that were generally sold out elsewhere or are hard to come by have been returning at VGP on a regular basis.
Going forward, we’ll be using this post to keep track of Switch physical release reprint / restock updates at VGP. Note that while the retailer is based in Canada, shipping is available in various regions including the United States and the UK. Also, keep in mind that some restocks sell out quickly so you may want to make a move sooner rather than later if you’re interested in a particular game.
According to Metroid Prime 4: Beyond producer Kensuke Tanabe, this will be the final game he’ll make for Nintendo.
In an interview with Japanese magazine Nintendo Dream, Tanabe indicated that he’s on the verge of retirement. With Metroid Prime 4, he knew it would be his last chance to make a Metroid Prime title and one featuring Sylux.
Astrolabe Games, along with Smarto Club, have confirmed that Bubblegum Galaxy will be appearing on Nintendo Switch. Look for it on March 12, 2026.
Bubblegum Galaxy is a family-friendly hex-tile building game with a PSX-inspired low-poly art style. The game lets players craft vibrant planets, interact with quirky office co-workers, and uncover the playful mysteries of an unexpectedly deleted galaxy.
GameMill is planning a new Nintendo Switch 2 version of Snoopy & The Great Mystery Club, the company just announced. A release is set for March 17, 2026.
Snoopy & The Great Mystery Club previously came to the original Nintendo Switch, but this upcoming version doesn’t seem to be a Switch 2 Edition – meaning there may not be an upgrade path. Additionally, there’ll be a physical release, but as a game-key card.
Check out the following details about the game:
THQ Nordic, alongside developer Quantumfrog, has announced the release date for its new game Pumuckl and the Crown of the Pirate King. The title is set to launch on March 5.
Pumuckl is the iconic red-haired “kobold” from the long-running German children’s series Meister Eder und sein Pumuckl, which originally debuted back in 1961. In recent years, the character has returned to the spotlight thanks to the TV series Neue Geschichten vom Pumuckl, as well as the feature film Pumuckl and the Big Misunderstanding.
Pumuckl and the Crown of the Pirate King brings the mischievous character to a brand-new adventure, combining classic platforming elements with a lighthearted narrative inspired by the franchise’s charm and humor.
Curve Games and Turtle Juice have today unveiled Mechborn, which will be released on both Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch. The project will debut in late 2026.
Mechborn is a roguelike deckbuilder. In light of a Kaiju assault, players will need to protect Earth and her colonies.
Tons of additional details can be found in the following overview:
The final release date was just announced for Ratcheteer DX, a lo-fi but grand pixel art action adventure experience. It’s planned for March 5, 2026 on Nintendo Switch.
Ratcheteer DX was previously confirmed for the console last summer. While we knew it was lined up for this year, now we have a proper date.
