Posted on 3 weeks ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
One of the longest Nintendo Directs ever just took place yesterday with the September 2025 presentation. Nintendo itself presented the latest news for both Switch 2 and Switch, but third-parties chimed in as well.
From Nintendo, games that are new announcements included Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2, Mario Tennis Fever, Pokemon Pokopia, and Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave. Other highlights include the Virtual Boy Nintendo Classics, Donkey Kong Bananza DLC, Super Mario Bros. Wonder Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, and Metroid Prime 4 and Hyrule Wariors: Age of Imprisonment release dates. From third-parties, we saw Resident Evil Requiem (plus Resident Evil 7 and Village), Fatal Frame 2 Remake, Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined, and Danganronpa 2×2. This wasn’t everything, but you can catch up on it all here.
So now that the Nintendo Direct is over, how are you feeling about it? What was your favorite announcement? Let us know in the comments.
Atelier Resleriana getting physical release on Nintendo Switch in Asia with English support, pre-orders open
Posted on 3 weeks ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Options for getting a physical version of Atelier Resleriana: The Red Alchemist & the White Guardian are limited, but a release is at least planned for Asia.
The Atelier games have seen boxed copies in both North America and Europe. However, this time around, things are different. Neither region is receiving a physical release for Atelier Resleriana on Nintendo Switch. Strangely, the PS5 version will have a physical edition in Europe, but only on PS5. So for Nintendo Switch fans, the Asian physical release will come in handy since the system is region free – and English is supported on the cartridge.

Bubsy in: The Purrfect Collection review for Nintendo Switch
Posted on 3 weeks ago by Richard in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: September 9, 2025
Developer: Limited Run
Publisher: Atari
There’s something about that bobcat, isn’t there? Since making his debut in 1993, Bubsy has lived in gaming infamy for his in-your-face attitude, and also for the reputation of his games not being the best the platforming genre has to offer. Even still, the character has had an unmistakable impact on the industry, and whether ironic or sincere, he has garnered a following and earned himself a cult status amongst platforming mascots. This led to a revival of the series in the late 2010s with a nineteen year gap between the releases of Bubsy 3D in 1996 and Bubsy: The Woolies Strike Back in 2017. Now, in 2025, we have a brand new collection of Bubsy’s original run of games before his near two-decade long catnap.
Pokemon Legends: Z-A will support Pokemon Home, but with significant limitations
Posted on 3 weeks ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Pokemon Legends: Z-A is confirmed for Pokemon Home support, though fans are disappointing to hear that there are significatant limitations.
There are a couple of important points to consider. First, any Pokemon you catch in Z-A can’t be brought to previous Pokemon titles (but it looks this may not apply to future games). Also, if you want to bring a Pokemon you’ve caught in an older game to Z-A, it will have to stay there forever – you can’t bring it back.

Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 costs $70
Posted on 3 weeks ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Nintendo has revealed the price for the just-announced Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2, and it turns out it’ll be quite a bit of cash. Fans will need to dole out $70 for the collection.
This is a bit surprising given what we saw with Super Mario 3D All-Stars. That package launched at $60, and included three games. You can argue that we’re now getting two Wii games instead of one, but it’s a tough sell.
