Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion review for Nintendo Switch 2

System: Switch 2
Release date: September 4, 2025
Developer: Marvelous
Publisher: Marvelous
If a game is going to let me rip across a futuristic planetscape in a mech suit and decimate a seemingly endless array of robotic and rancid foes, really the only thing it needs to do is make those core actions feel as satisfying as possible. Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion is a game of many parts, but if there’s one concept it absolutely nails, it’s a simple one: blasting aliens in a high-tech exosuit should be exciting. At the same time, this sequel to Kenichiro Tsukuda’s 2019 combat-action game embraces the philosophy of “bigger is better,” expanding upon the original game’s mission-based structure with a massive open world to explore, layers upon layers of systems to learn, and seemingly endless ways to build a space-age war machine. It’s also one of the first multiplatform games of this scale to launch day-and-date on Nintendo Switch 2, making it an exciting litmus test for what the console might be capable of.
Particle Hearts review for Nintendo Switch

System: Switch
Release date: August 25, 2025
Developer: Underwater Fire
Publisher: First Break Labs
Underwater Fire Games are a brand new independent studio from Los Angeles, and on the team’s website, the mission statement says they seek to create thought-provoking video games that fill their players with a sense of wonder. Their first video game, Particle Hearts, is an ambitious 3D puzzle platformer that has taken elements from several big name titles like Journey and the more recent mainline Zelda entries. Underwater Fire Games ultimately crafted its own unique title that operates quite differently than anything I have ever played before.
Kirby and the Forgotten Land + Star-Crossed World review for Nintendo Switch 2
Posted on 2 months ago by Ethan in Reviews, Switch 2 | 0 comments
System: Switch 2
Release date: August 28, 2025
Developer: HAL Laboratory
Publisher: Nintendo
This game’s title is a mouthful, to say the least! It’s been about two years since we’ve received a new Kirby game, and Nintendo has decided to release an upgrade pack for Kirby and the Forgotten Land. When it first launched in 2022, it was met with critical acclaim. Not only is the game considered one of Kirby’s best, it’s up there as one of the greatest 3D platformers – perhaps not on par with your Super Mario Odyssey or Donkey Kong Bananza, but up there nonetheless. The Nintendo Switch 2 Edition of Kirby and the Forgotten Land promises performance bumps and twelve new levels with Star-Crossed World.
Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar review for Nintendo Switch / Switch 2
Posted on 2 months ago by Taioh in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch [reviewed], Switch 2
Release date: August 27, 2025
Developer: Marvelous
Publisher: Marvelous
The Story of Seasons series has always lived in this cozy niche between farming sim and life sim, where your day-to-day rhythms matter just as much as your long-term goals. Grand Bazaar originally released on the Nintendo DS back in 2010 under the Harvest Moon label, and now it’s been rebuilt for a modern audience on Nintendo Switch. This remake stays faithful to its unique spin on the formula – putting the weekly town bazaar at the center of everything – while smoothing out some of the rougher edges from the DS era. But how well does it hold up in 2025, now that farming sims are practically their own genre?
Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution review for Nintendo Switch
Posted on 2 months ago by Richard in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: August 19, 2025
Developer: WayForward
Publisher: WayForward
After twenty years of trying, WayForward’s loveable half-genie hero’s lost adventure has finally made its way to consoles in Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution. Originally in development almost immediately after the completion and release of the original Shantae on Game Boy Color, Risky Revolution was intended to be the second entry in the series, but due to mitigating circumstances, the GBA-developed title was put on indefinite hiatus. A lot of ideas and concepts from this game were reused in future additions to the series, like Risky’s Revenge and Half-Genie Hero, but series creator Matt Bozen always maintained his hope and desire to see it make its way to release. Now in 2025, we finally get to see what we had missed out on decades ago.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tactical Takedown review for Nintendo Switch
Posted on 2 months ago by Richard in Reviews, Switch eShop | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: August 14, 2025
Developer: Strange Scaffold
Publisher: Strange Scaffold
The heroes in a half-shell have a storied history in gaming, and are back on that scene once more. This time, they are going through a bit of family turmoil and in a new genre for the ninja boys. Tactical Takedown is a strategic turn-based, board game-like beat ’em up where the goal is to get your mutant teen to the end of the stage with three lives and a loadout of different abilities to help you knock out the foot clan as you traverse the rooftops, sewers, and streets of NYC. Everyone has come across the TMNT at some point in their lives, either through their cartoons, movies, video games or comics, so what does this Turtles adventure do to stand up against some of its franchise peers?
JSAUX Split Protective Case review for Nintendo Switch 2
Posted on 3 months ago by Ethan in Reviews, Switch 2 | 0 comments
We’ve tested out yet another console grip for Nintendo Switch 2, and this time it’s the JSAUX Split Protective Case. Compared to some of the other options on the market, this case is on the cheaper side – but only in terms of price and not necessarily in terms of design.
From what we’ve seen, the JSAUX grip is one of the more popular ones, alongside the Savage Raven lineup. Unlike the Savage Raven products, however, you can actually remove the Joy-Cons from the Switch 2 console without taking the whole case apart.
Super Mario Party Jamboree – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV Upgrade Pack review
Posted on 3 months ago by Nicholas Serpa in Reviews, Switch 2 | 0 comments
System: Switch 2
Release date: July 24, 2025
Developer: Nintendo Cube
Publisher: Nintendo
Back when I reviewed Super Mario Party Jamboree last year, I called it “biggest and best Mario Party game that Nintendo has made in a very long time. Beyond that, it’s probably my personal favorite in the series; whenever I have friends or family over and we decide to boot up a party game, there’s a very good chance Jamboree will be in the rotation. I was very open to the idea of an enhanced version of the game for the Switch 2, and one that takes advantage of the console’s new features such as mouse controls and the Nintendo Switch 2 Camera with some fresh modes and minigames. Unfortunately, an upgrade that should have been a slam dunk doesn’t bring enough new content or features to justify its own existence as a paid upgrade.

After Daemon X Machina came to Nintendo Switch in 2019, the game is getting a sequel with the upcoming release of Titanic Scion. Even better, it’ll be able to take advantage of Nintendo Switch 2 this time around.
The upgrade in hardware isn’t the only change this time around. Marvelous is focusing less on mechs, mixed up the visual style, and more.
Series producer Kenichiro Tsukuda recently spoke about these changes, Nintendo Switch 2, and other topics in a wide-ranging interview with Nintendo Everything. You can find our full discussion below.
