Donkey Kong Bananza has been out for a week now, and it’s been met with rave reviews across the board. If you’re playing through casually and not going for 100% completion, the game isn’t overly long – you can get through the main story in about 20 hours, so we’d imagine some of you have already rolled the credits. Donkey Kong Bananza contains plenty of interesting story elements, and today we’re analyzing how this could change the lore of the greater Mario franchise. Yes, we’re aware that it’s a Donkey Kong game and lore isn’t terribly important – but it’s still fun to speculate. Needless to say, there are major spoilers within, so you might want to bookmark this post and come back later if you haven’t beaten the game yet.

While there’s been no official announcement, it’s claimed that SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans of the Tide will be releasing on Nintendo Switch 2.

The game itself has yet to be revealed. However, we know that it exists as it was previously rated in Germany. Interestingly, Nintendo Switch 2 was not part of that original classification, but it would make sense for THQ Nordic to bring the new SpongeBob game over to Nintendo’s latest console.

We haven’t heard too many publishers commenting on why they’re using game-key cards on Nintendo Switch 2, but now NIS America has just done that – specifically for The Legend of Heroes: Trails Beyond the Horizon.

Many were happy to hear that the recent news that Nintendo’s new console would be getting the RPG. However, it did come with that game-key card caveat for physical collectors.
