Elite Beat Agents Nintendo 3DS

Nintendo’s Elite Beat Agents series never left the DS, but fans might be interested to hear that the game’s developers tinkered around for a prototype on 3DS.

Elite Beat Agents is a bit of a niche franchise and hasn’t been seen for quite some time, so some Nintendo fans may not have heard about the IP previously. Essentially, it was a western version of iNiS’ rhythm game Osu Tatakae Ouendan.

Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O.

May 11: SEGA is bringing Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. to Nintendo Switch 2, the company just announced. A release window was not provided.

According to SEGA, “Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. takes the gameplay of Virtua Fighter 5 and raises it to new levels”. It features additional content, rollback netcode support, and more. Cross-play will be supported across all platforms.

If you were wondering what Nintendo would replace its Wii U-Switch ports with on Switch 2, it looks like we have the answer with Nintendo Switch 2 Editions. We’ve seen a smattering of these over the past few months and it looks like things are continuing into 2026. Super Mario Bros. Wonder is the latest Nintendo Switch 2 Edition following a recent Nintendo Direct reveal.

Nintendo Switch 2 Editions are a way to bring back games we saw during the Switch generation. Some emphasize technical upgrades while others focus more on new content.

For titles that have yet to receive a Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, what are you hoping to see in the future? Let us know in the comments.

Little Nightmares Enhanced Edition Nintendo Switch upgrade

If you own Little Nightmares on Nintendo Switch, you won’t be able to upgrade to the new Enhanced Edition on Switch 2 – so you have to buy the game again. Bandai Namco has now commented on the decision.

In an FAQ, the company said that “technical constraints” prevented the upgrade. This goes against what’s happening on other platforms. For example, those who own the original 2017 version on PS4 will be able to upgrade to the PS5 Enhanced Edition for free.

Hyrule Warriors Age of Imprisonment gameplay

A little more than a month before launch, the first gameplay has come in for Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment. Ten minutes of footage has emerged from the 2025 Tokyo Game Show demo. Everything here is in direct-feed.

All of the footage highlights a level from the Depths. We get looks at Princess Zelda, Mineru, and Rauru battling it out against enemies.

Minecraft Dragon Ball Z DLC

Dragon Ball Z DLC is in the works for Minecraft, it’s been revealed.

That news just dropped during Minecraft Live today. A release window wasn’t provided.

When Dynasty Warriors Origins comes to Nintendo Switch 2 early next year, it’ll run at 30 frames per second. Koei Tecmo has now commented on why that is.

Dynasty Warriors Origins originally ran at 60 FPS on other platforms. Technically, Nintendo Switch 2 could do this as well. Omega Force brand head Tomohiko Sho has indicated that 60 FPS would be possible on the console if they cut back on the amount of soldiers comparable to previous entries in the series.

Nintendo has updated the Japanese Switch and Switch 2 release schedule on eShop for the week of October 2, 2025. Various new titles are on the way, highlighted by Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2.

Here’s a look at the upcoming digital download schedule:
