On social media, Limited Run Games provided a report on its Nintendo Switch-based Carbon Engine titles running on Switch 2 through backwards compatibility.

Currently a few of these releases are experiencing issues on the new hardware. However, Limited Run has identified the issues, shared its findings with Nintendo, and is now readying patches. Additionally, some new features have been teased – but as of now we don’t have the details. We’re also unsure when the patches will be ready, but they’ll “roll out in the coming weeks”.

The full notice from Limited Run reads:

Mario Kart World unlockable outfits list

One of the big new features in Mario Kart World is the ability to unlock outfits for different characters. Most of the drivers in this game have plenty of costumes choose from – with the exception of Donkey Kong and Pauline, who only have one outfit each. Furthermore, some drivers, like Wiggler, Nabbit, and all of the minion characters, are designated as NPC drivers. This means that they don’t have any costumes to choose from at all.

Fast Fusion review

System: Switch 2
Release date: June 5, 2025
Developer: Shin’en
Publisher: Shin’en

I love anti-gravity racers. My very first one was F-Zero GX, one of the two games I picked up with my GameCube in 2003, when I was six. I was addicted. I put dozens upon dozens of hours into the game, with its difficulty level only encouraging me to play more. My dad saw how much I loved it, and he owned a PlayStation 2 at the time. As a gift, he gifted me WipeOut Fusion the following year. A similar style of game, and another one I fell in love with, albeit not to the same extent. Still, as the years went by, F-Zero and WipeOut became series with infrequent releases at best. An itch formed within me for a new futuristic space racer, and unbeknownst to me, there was another one making the rounds from Shin’en.

Terrifier The ARTcade Game demo

A demo for Terrifier: The ARTcade Game will be available on Nintendo Switch, according to SelectaPlay and Relevo.

The announcement technically states that the demo is out now. However, we don’t see a page on the Nintendo eShop for it currently. When the demo does go live – which should be soon – fans will be able to get a taste of the blood-soaked retro beat ’em up inspired by the arcade classics of the 80s and 90s.

Fiz and the Rainbow Planet

Forever Entertainment has announced that next month, it will bring Fiz and the Rainbow Planet to Nintendo Switch. The game arrives on July 10, 2025.

Fiz and the Rainbow Planet is a 2.5D pixel-art action adventure game. Players will lead a team of young dragons on a journey across seven locations to save their fading world.

Nintendo Switch 2 sales France

We’re just a few days removed from Nintendo Switch 2’s launch, but we apparently already have sales data from France – and the report is impressive.

In its first week, it’s claimed that Nintendo’s new console sold over 200,000 units in the country. It’s the region’s fastest-selling gaming system, beating out the PlayStation 5 which previously held the record at 107,000 units.
