2025 was a huge year for Nintendo, to say the least. Fans have been eagerly awaiting the Nintendo Switch 2 for what feels like a lifetime – this even dates back to 2020 and 2021 with the then-endless “Switch Pro” rumors. But now, Nintendo Switch 2 is finally here, and it’s already cemented itself as one of the fastest-selling video game consoles of all time. Nintendo released a fair number of exclusives this year as well, including big titles like Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza, among many others. Given that 2025 is coming to an end, we figured it’s a better time than ever to take a look back at one of Nintendo’s busiest years. So today, we’re recounting Nintendo Switch 2’s reveal, its launch, and going over and reviewing every major Switch and Switch 2 game released this year.

Best Pokemon in Legends Z-A’s Season 4 ranked battles
Posted on 1 day ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Pokemon Legends: Z-A’s online metagame has changed quite a bit now that the Mega Dimension DLC has arrived. And at the time of writing, Season 4 of Pokemon Legends: Z-A’s ranked battles ends on January 7. Season 5 will allow sub-Legendary Pokemon and Mythical Pokemon for the first time, which means the Swords of Justice and Magearna will be allowed. Thankfully, almost all of the Pokemon on this list will still be viable in Season 5 – the best Pokemon in the game tend to run Earthquake as a coverage move, which will hit Magearna, Volcanion, and Melmetal for super-effective damage. You can also expect Magearna and Melmetal to become some of the strongest Pokemon in the game as soon as they’re allowed in. For now, though, here are powerful Pokemon you can prepare for both Season 4 and Season 5.
