Nova Hearts

2024: Lightbulb Crew intends to release Nova Hearts on Switch, the studio announced today. It will be available sometime this fall.

Nova Hearts is turn-based magical combat dating adventure. As far as the premise goes, you and other highly attractive people in your area are transformed into superheroes and villains by a mysterious force, and the story unfolds from there.

MechAnimals

Today, BouncyBrain announced that its new game MechAnimals will be seeing release on Nintendo Switch. As of now the studio is keeping quiet on launch timing.

MechAnimals is a roguelite beat ’em up game in which players control critter pilots and their mighty mechs to battle an evil megacorporation in a diesel-punk universe. The team consists of  animation veterans with credits on Kung Fu Panda, The Super Mario Bros. Mario Movie, and Minions.

Learn more about the project in the following overview:

Mario Kart World 200cc

At least at launch, Mario Kart World will not include a 200cc mode.

200cc was introduced for the first time with Mario Kart 8. However, it was actually available immediately in that title either – Nintendo brought it to the game later on as an update. 

April 2: Firaxis has just shared that Civilization 7 is getting a Nintendo Switch 2 version. The game will be available for Nintendo Switch 2 at launch.

Civilization 7 previously made it to the current Nintendo Switch. When it heads to the new console, it will feature support for new mouse controls.

Neon Inferno release date

A release date has just come through for Neon Inferno, the upcoming 2D run-and-gun and gallery-shooter. It’s due out for Nintendo Switch on October 2, 2025.

We previously heard about the project earlier in the year when it had a Q3 2025 launch window. Remember that it comes from Zenovia Interactive, the team behind Steel Assault.

Super Mario Bros. 3 reward My Nintendo

A new Super Mario Bros. 3 reward has just gone up on My Nintendo, but there’s a bit of a wrinkle. It will only be available to those who are Nintendo Switch Online members.

The reward in question is a desktop metal display. According to the description, it has “vibrant artwork on metal and a sleek black acrylic base etched with the My Nintendo logo,” making it “a stylish tribute for any fan or collector.” Protective film is included on both sides, though Nintendo says that it can be peeled off by gently warming it with a hair dryer to loosen the adhesive.

Yosei Wars

Rawrlab Games is making Yosei Wars for Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch, the studio announced today. A release window was not shared.

Yosei Wars is a 2D platformer inspired by the Game Boy era and arcade titles. In fact, it was originally designed as a homebrew release for Nintendo’s retro portable.

Here’s a bit of additional information:

Fantasy Life i Gift Codes

Following the launch of Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time Gift Codes, we’ve put a post together with all available Gift Codes.

Level-5 is expected to share new codes in the days and months to come. Each one should provide its own set of items for players to get their hands on. If you’re looking for a complete list, we’ve got you covered.

Anima: Gate of Memories 1 & 2 Remaster

Today, Anima Project revealed Anima: Gate of Memories 1 & 2 Remaster for Nintendo Switch 2. A release is planned for 2026.

Anima: Gate of Memories and Anima: Gate of Memories – The Nameless Chronicles will both be included. Both titles came to Nintendo Switch previously, but the collection will feature updated versions.

May 15: A new report claims that reviews for Nintendo Switch 2 could be limited leading up to launch, which is at least in part due to a significant day one patch that is required.

Nintendo has been informing some journalists that they will not have access to a unit until launch day. The Game Business spoke with four such media members, including two described as “very, very senior journalists in the games industry”.
