According to a report from Insider Gaming, Nintendo is planning a three-phase launch plan for Switch 2 games. This seems to be based on what the outlet has heard coming out of GDC 2025 last week.

The first part of the release will apparently begin with a focus on first-party games at launch. The second stage, which is claimed to be happening between October and November, will be for third-party studios. Following that is the third phase during the holiday period, though specifics weren’t provided.


Monster Crown Sin Eater

Studio Aurum has announced Monster Crown: Sin Eater, a sequel to the series’ previous entry which is currently on Nintendo Switch.

The team says that success of the original on Nintendo’s console allowed Studio Aurum to hire a dedicated team. A Kickstarter campaign just opened today with Switch included as an option. Additionally, we’re told that Studio Aurum is looking to obtain a Switch 2 development kit as soon as possible, and will do everything possible to make a port there possible.

Minecraft just released its latest major update, “Spring to Life”. This is also known as version 1.21.70.

The new update brings along a ton of new stuff. It features warm and cold variants for various passive animal mobs, new foliage blocks to biomes, and ambience features.

The full rundown is as follows:

Xenoblade X The Repair Job Guide

A few days back, we reported on The Repair Job, one of Xenoblade Chronicles X’s most egregious affinity quests. It’s particularly troublesome if you accept it as soon as it becomes available – at that point, you likely won’t have many probes placed around Mira. The first half of this quest is straightforward: talk to an NPC and then head to Starfall Basin to search the White Whale debris for specific parts. Once you return to the West Gate, you’ll be given the option to agree with Lin (the mechanical error should be fixed) or Tatsu (you want to stop working and get something to eat). The scene frames Lin as the one in the right, so we’d imagine many players chose to sympathize with her. And if you do, the quest becomes a bit more complicated.

Vault of the Void

Following its original 2022 launch, Vault of the Void is now making the jump to Nintendo Switch. Spider Nest Games has confirmed plans for a release on the console on April 3, 2025.

Vault of the Void is a fast-paced roguelike deckbuilder with skill-based card play, deep customization, and zero-RNG combat. The game boasts plenty of content with over 440 cards, four different classes, and more than 320 Artifacts.

Nintendo Direct March 2025 rumor

Multiple sources are pointing to the possibility of a Nintendo Direct taking place later this week.

This is not to be confused with the Nintendo Direct: Nintendo Switch 2 event planned for April 2, and is also just a few days away. We would only be hearing about games lined up for the current console.

Pokemon Scarlet Violet Tyranitar Tera Raid Battle

Later this week, Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet players will be able to experience the latest Tera Raid Battle event, which features Tyranitar.

This time around, Tyranitar will have the Ghost Tera Type. It will be quite the challenge as the Pokemon will be appearing in 7 Star Raids. As usual, it has the Mightiest Mark and can be caught just per save file.

Atelier Yumia review

System: Switch
Release date: March 25, 2025
Developer: Gust
Publisher: Koei Tecmo

For over 25 years, the Atelier series has carved out a unique space in the RPG genre, blending alchemy-driven crafting, character-driven narratives, and a laid-back sense of adventure. Since its debut in 1997, the franchise has evolved through multiple generations, refining its various beloved systems while maintaining the core charm that maintains its long-lived fan base. Unlike the high-stakes, world-ending plots of traditional RPGs, Atelier games often focus on personal growth, discovery, and the joy of creation – where gathering ingredients and crafting the perfect item can be just as satisfying as toppling a powerful foe. At times you may do both in quick succession, even.
