Gameplay has come in for Ogu and the Secret Forest, which was among the various new Nintendo Switch games that launched this week. 20 minutes of footage is here for the hand-drawn adventure title.

A couple months back, we wrote a big list of games that would benefit from performance patches on Nintendo Switch 2. That was before we knew exactly how Switch 2 Editions worked, though – and it was also before we knew Switch 2 Editions existed at all.

Nintendo Genki Switch 2 lawsuit

It’s now come to light that Nintendo is pursuing legal action against Genki, an accessories maker that gained notoriety before the reveal of Switch 2.

Before the system was officially announced earlier in the year, leaks and rumors were flying in left and right. Genki was one such entity that got in on the action.
