Rumor: Diablo 4 getting Nintendo Switch 2 port

Posted on 1 day ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Switch 2 | 0 comments

Another previously-released game is speculated for Nintendo Switch 2, and this time it’s been said that Diablo 4 will be making its way over.

eXputer writer eXtas1s made that claim during a new video (which you can watch here). Noting that he has an “exclusive or scoop”, he said that Diablo 4 is already in development for Nintendo Switch 2 and a 2025 launch could even be in the cards. eXtas1s has some level of reliability having previously leaked Game Pass games before they were announced.

GameCube remasters we want on Nintendo Switch or Switch 2

Posted on 3 days ago by Ethan in Features, GameCube, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments

We’re going over a whole bunch of GameCube games we’d love to see ported, remastered, or remade on Nintendo Switch or Switch 2.

It’s well-known that Nintendo has a huge backlog of classic titles available via Switch Online, but one point of contention among fans is that none of those classic games are from the GameCube. Many players who grew up with that console (this writer included) now have extra purchasing power that they didn’t have as kids, and Nintendo is seemingly well aware of this – which is partially why GameCube titles probably aren’t coming to Nintendo Switch Online. On Nintendo Switch alone, we’ve seen many GameCube remasters and just about all of them have been well received. The most notable of these remakes and remasters are Metroid Prime Remastered, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Pikmin 1, and Pikmin 2.

As Nintendo Switch’s life cycle comes to a close (or rather, a continuation with Nintendo’s next hardware), we may see one or two additional GameCube ports to fill up the time. We may even see full-on remakes on Nintendo Switch 2 as major first-party titles. After all, the first few years of Nintendo Switch’s life were full of Wii U ports – we may see something similar (but to a lesser extent) again while studios work on their ambitious new original games.
