The July 2025 Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase aired earlier this week, and following the event, we’re interested in hearing about what you thought of the show.

This wasn’t a general Nintendo Direct, meaning the Big N itself wasn’t really present here. We did get to see Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, but that was all. Third-parties did show up with their own announcements – Monster Hunter Stories 3, Octopath Traveler, The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales, Persona 3 Reload, Pac-Man World Re-Pac 2, and Once Upon A Katamari were shown. You can catch up on everything that was featured here.

So what’d you think of the July 2025 Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase? What were your highlights? Let us know in the comments.

[Let’s Talk] Which Level-5 Nintendo Switch / Switch 2 game are you most looking forward to?

Posted on 1 month ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments

After a few rough years, Level-5 might finally be back on track. Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time launched a couple of months ago and has been a smash hit.

At a few points, things felt a bit dire for Level-5. Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road went through multiple year-long delays and overall output slowed to a crawl. But now Fantasy Life i could just be the start of Level-5’s comeback tour. The company has a few games in the pipeline. Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road, Professor Layton and the New World of Steam, Decapolice, Inazuma Eleven Re, and Holy Horror Mansion are in development and are planned for Nintendo Switch / Switch 2. Some are closer than others, and while there have been plenty of concerns about Level-5, there are signs of life.

Out of Level-5’s upcoming slate, which game are you most looking forward to? Let us know in the comments.

[Let’s Talk] How are you feeling about Donkey Kong Bananza?

Posted on 2 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk, Switch 2 | 0 comments

A little more into the system’s first month, Switch 2 is getting its next big game from Nintendo. Donkey Kong Bananza is launching on July 17 and we got to hear more about it last week as part of the latest Nintendo Direct.

Donkey Kong Bananza is a pretty big deal. For one thing, it’s the first time we’re seeing a proper 3D Donkey Kong title since the N64 era. On top of that, Nintendo is finally back to working on the series with one of its main teams.

During the Nintendo Direct, we learned about a ton of new stuff. Pauline was officially revealed, we got our first look at transformations, there’s a new amiibo on the way, and much more. We have a full recap here.

Based on what we saw, how are you feeling about Donkey Kong Bananza? Will you be picking it up next month? Let us know in the comments.

[Let’s Talk] Which Nintendo Switch games have you tried on Switch 2?

Posted on 2 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk | 0 comments

Nintendo Switch 2 launched last week with a bunch of games, but one of the system’s big selling points is its backwards compatibility. Almost every game released on the previous console is supported. Nintendo has even come out with a few free updates that offer bonuses like improved frame rate, enhanced resolution, and more. We’ve also seen Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom with new editions. But that’s not all, as many Nintendo Switch 1 titles automatically run better on Switch 2 – at least ones that had uncapped frame rates and dynamic resolution.

So while you’ve probably been playing a lot of Mario Kart World, have you tried out any specific Nintendo Switch games on Switch 2? Which titles have impressed you? Let us know in the comments.
