Posted on 2 days ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Another Nintendo Switch 1 backwards compatibility fix is live on Switch 2, and this time it’s NieR: Automata.
The game has pretty much been broken on the new console since the launch earlier this year. However, everything now seems to be in working order after the latest system update went live last night. Nintendo has changed the eShop page to indicate that previous issues have been resolved.

Posted on 2 days ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Tying in with the launch of Nintendo Switch 2, we’ve put together a complete list of games that support GameShare. We’ll be updating this post over time as well.
GameShare is brand new for Nintendo Switch 2. With the feature, select titles allow you to play with others even if they don’t own a copy of the game. Even more interesting, you can share games locally with those that have the original Nintendo Switch. It’s possible to link up with up to three other systems at a time. We’ll also mention that GameShare supports online play with other Nintendo Switch 2 systems.

Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch update 21.0.1 out now, patch notes
Posted on 2 days ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Heads up for Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch owners as a new firmware update, version 21.0.1, has now been released.
This seems to be about improving things from the last update. Version 21.0.0 came out earlier in the month and brought about some new features. However, it did also break some things in the process. Nintendo specifically addressed a couple of error codes with local system transfers as well as an issue involving wireless controllers/Bluetooth audio devices specifically on Switch 2.
Also, as you may recall, Pokemon Brilliant Diamond / Shining Pearl and Crypt of the NecroDancer were among the games we were hearing about having issues on Nintendo Switch 2 following the update. We’ll have to wait and see if there are reports of these titles now having been fixed with version 21.0.1.
Below is the full notice for today’s update:

SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans of the Tide review for Nintendo Switch 2
Posted on 2 days ago by Richard in Reviews, Switch 2 | 0 comments
System: Switch 2
Release date: November 18, 2025
Developer: Purple Lamp
Publisher: THQ Nordic
Are ya ready kids? Everyone’s favorite absorbent and porous fry cook is back in a new 3D platforming adventure. With Battle for Bikini Bottom and The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie Game both considered cult classics of the GameCube era of gaming, and this style of SpongeBob game making a return through developer Purple Lamp’s remake of Battle for Bikini Bottom: Rehydrated, and wholly original title The Cosmic Shake, I was very excited to see what was to come next. I thoroughly enjoyed the Rehydrated return to platforming for SpongeBob, but I was a little more mixed on The Cosmic Shake, which felt to me like it had too much back-tracking in its design and only having SpongeBob be playable felt like an odd decision at the time. However, it was a very ambitious game and a strong base to build off for the next entry and before you can stop on your right foot (don’t forget it!) and bring it around town, THQ Nordic has already cooked up a new original game with a supernatural twist. The story?

Posted on 3 days ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
The latest UK software sales chart for the week ending November 22, 2025 is now available.
The big news here is the debut of Kirby Air Riders, which actually missed out on the top ten. You’ll find it this week down at #12. Kirby Air Ride on GameCube wasn’t a massive seller back in the day, so this may not come as a huge surprise.
Worth noting, Mario Kart World is still trucking along. This one actually moved up a spot from #3 to #2.
Here’s the full UK software sales chart for the week ending November 22, 2025:

Still, some fans still seem to have some hope for its release.
Head past the break for the full chart. All votes were cast between November 5 and November 11.
