Skating Rink Story

Over on the Nintendo eShop, a listing has appeared for a new Kairosoft game on Switch: Skating Rink Story. The game is scheduled for May 1, 2025.

Keeping true to Kairosoft’s nature, we have another simulation game on our hands. Skating Rink Story, as the title implies, is about managing a skating rink.

Nintendo Switch 2 Switch 1 dock compatibility

Although it probably won’t come as a surprise to many, Switch 1 won’t be compatible with the new dock Nintendo is making for Switch 2.

Nintendo posted that information this week. The company confirms that no model of the original Switch works. You cannot use a standard Nintendo Switch, Switch Lite, or Switch OLED with the Switch 2 dock.


This week we have a simple question – have you pre-ordered Nintendo Switch 2?

Reservations began this week in the United States (and Canada). To say the least, it was an… interesting experience. Best Buy, Target, GameStop, and Walmart all seemed to experience their fair share of issues with each site hammered with traffic and other shenanigans taking place. Based on reports, the best experience may have actually been visiting a local GameStop and pre-ordering there.

Regardless of where you are in the world, are you locked and loaded for Nintendo Switch 2 with a pre-order? Have you reserved any games? Let us know in the comments.

Don't Starve Together Balatro update 1.18.0

Klei started distribution of a new version 1.18.0 update for Balatro on Nintendo Switch, which brings along a Balatro collaboration.

Here’s the full rundown of what’s included in this week’s update:

Nintendo Switch 2 June launch explained

Nintendo of America president Doug Bowser has weighed in on the decision to launch Switch 2 in June.

Bowser said that the company isn’t locked into specific time frames to launch gaming products. For June though, it’s not a bad choice given that the summer is starting (with kids starting to finish school for the year). Since Nintendo Switch 2 is portable, you can take it anywhere – which works well for a vacation.

Night Slashers Remake update 1.0.6

Just recently, Forever Entertainment released a new version 1.0.6 update for Night Slashers: Remake.

New content, adjustments, and fixes are included. Some of the highlights are a new Ghoul variant, new mutator, and new unlockable colors for all characters.

We have the full rundown from Forever Entertainment below.

All Nintendo Switch 2 game key card games

As we get closer to 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.
