The release date for Little Nightmares 3 was just announced, and fans can rest easy knowing that it’s coming before Halloween. Bandai Namco will be publishing it on October 10, 2025.

It’s been a longer-than-expected wait for Little Nightmares 3. Originally announced in August 2023, the project was planned to launch the following year. However, Bandai Namco and Supermassive Games ended up pushing things back to 2025 instead.
Here’s an overview of pricing plus details on the Deluxe Edition:
Hitman was brought to Switch 2 since IO “felt there was unfinished business”, Hitman 3 Cloud Version “wasn’t as successful as Nintendo had expected”

In making the decision to bring Hitman World of Assassination to Nintendo Switch 2, IO Interactive felt like it had “unfinished business”.
You may recall that at the start of 2021, Hitman 3 Cloud Version launched on the original Nintendo Switch. There was a push at the time to release games that wouldn’t normally be possible on the console via the cloud. At least in the case of Hitman 3, IO Interactive CEO Hakan Abrak said that it “wasn’t as successful as Nintendo had expected.” Now with Nintendo Switch 2, fans can play Hitman World of Assassination “in a proper way”.

June 16: For those looking to dive into the just-released Gex Trilogy, we do want to mention an important point if you plan on playing it on Nintendo Switch 2.
To put it simply, right now there are issues with backwards compatibility. You may find that as you’re playing through the collection, it’s flat out broken. One of our editors is playing through it now and encountered a kill screen with no way of progressing.

Street Fighter 6 review for Nintendo Switch 2
Posted on 2 months ago by Nicholas Serpa in Reviews, Switch 2 | 0 comments
System: Switch 2
Release date: June 5, 2025
Developer: Capcom
Publisher: Capcom
When Nintendo revealed Switch 2 earlier this year, of all the games announced to be releasing alongside the system on launch day, it was Street Fighter 6 that had me the most excited. The original Nintendo Switch missed out on some major releases in the fighting game genre; outside of Smash Bros. Ultimate and some iffy Mortal Kombat ports, the pickings were slim for those seeking a flashy modern, 3D fighting game (although we did get what felt like roughly a thousand retro fighting game collections.) These titles have always felt like such a natural fit for handheld play to me, so when Street Fighter 6 released to near universal critical acclaim on other platforms a few years ago, I was eager to someday play it on a console where I could hone my skills at home or on the go. Fortunately, while Street Fighter 6 had to make a few compromises to make it onto Nintendo Switch 2, for the most part this is an excellent way to enjoy Capcom’s premier current-gen fighting game.
