When Nintendo Switch 2 launches in just a few weeks, Mario Kart World will be there right alongside it. Nintendo has now spoken about the decision to tie the two together.

In a recent interview, Nintendo’s senior vice president of product development Nate Bihldorff spoke about how Mario Kart World is “one of the most broadly accessible games possible.” Also, anyone can easily get into the game, but it also has a high skill ceiling – meaning it’s very appealing to both hardcore and casual players.

From what previously was a Japan-only PS Vita exclusive, 7’scarlet has finally made its western Nintendo Switch debut with a new launch trailer. The visual novel comes from Aksys Games and Idea Factory in both digital and physical.

7’scarlet made its way to the Japanese eShop last year with the announcement that a western release was to follow suit. In this game you play as Ichiko Hanamaki, a college student investigating a strange town in an effort to discover the truth behind her brother’s disappearance.

Here’s an overview of the game:

The latest Nintendo Switch eShop charts for the week of May 17, 2025 are now available.

We’ve seen Minecraft dominating over the past few weeks, and while it’s still doing very well, it moves to second.

Fast Fusion GameShare

Speaking in an interview with Nintendo Everything, Shin’en CEO Manfred Linzner revealed that the team is using “completely new rendering tech” in its upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 launch game Fast Fusion.

Linzner was talking about the capabilities of the console when that tidbit was shared. “It’s amazing how much power you can get out of a device that also works as a handheld,” he said. And because of that power, we should be seeing a better looking title compared to the studio’s Switch 1 launch title Fast RMX. Linzner told us that compared to that game, Fast Fusion will have a world that’s “much more alive and beautiful.”

This week, a new version 1.1.2 update for Core Keeper started distribution. Nintendo Switch players can download it now.

What if Walt Disney created the Truman Show? And what if instead of following the life of one man, it chronicled the lives of an entire city? What if the audience could pick and choose which citizens to watch, vote for their favorite “characters,” and create entire social media followings for unassuming victims just living their lives? What if the company running this insulated city could track which of its citizens were the most popular? How far would the company go to maximize their profits, and what might they do to cut costs when certain residents fail to garner any audience attention at all? These questions lay the groundwork for Out of the Blue Games’ American Arcadia.
