Final Fantasy 7 Remake dev on challenges of developing for Nintendo Switch 2’s handheld mode
Posted on 5 minutes ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Naoki Hamaguchi, director of Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade, has spoken about what it’s been like working with Nintendo Switch 2 and the challenges of developing games for the system while accounting for handheld mode.
Just like Nintendo’s previous system, teams have a bit more power to work with when the system is docked. In portable mode, things need to be scaled back a bit – and there’s also the factory of battery life to account for. Hamaguchi said Square Enix (and other developers) need to think about “how you can get a version in handheld mode that doesn’t look inferior and stands up to the home console versions on other platforms.”
The best Pokemon in Pokemon Legends: Z-A’s Season 2 Ranked Battles

A while back, we wrote a guide on the worst Pokemon to use in online ranked battles in Pokemon Legends: Z-A. As helpful as that knowledge is, it doesn’t actually help you score wins against other trainers, so this time we’re talking about the strongest Pokemon you can possibly use in competitive battles. This also assumes they’re fully EV and IV trained, which thankfully is fairly simple to do in this game.

Indika review for Nintendo Switch
Posted on 8 hours ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Reviews, Switch eShop | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: November 17, 2025
Developer: Odd Meter
Publisher: 11 Bit Studios
Indika on Nintendo Switch is an interesting title. It’s one of those rare games that I can only say feels like the moment you go to open the door of a cleaning closet, not sure what you’ll find – like it’s your first day on a new job. Developed by Odd Meter, this short, narrative-focused adventure blends dark humor, surrealism, and religious introspection into a package that constantly shifts between the sacred and the absurd. On Nintendo Switch, that experience becomes rather intimate, and sometimes uncomfortably so, as you guide a young nun through a world that is half bleak fairy tale and half spiritual fever dream.
