Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion review for Nintendo Switch 2
Posted on 1 week ago by Nicholas Serpa in Reviews, Switch 2 | 0 comments
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.

In a recent news post sent out to Switch owners, Nintendo provided a listing of the top 15 European eShop downloads for July 2025.
Over on Nintendo Switch 2, it’s no surprise that Donkey Kong Bananza lands at #1 as the big release for the month. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 also seemed to do fairly well as it slots in right behind. The new Nintendo Switch 2 Edition of Super Mario Party Jamboree is a bit slower as it just misses the top ten.

In a new interview, Capcom president and Haruhiro Tsujimoto shared some brief thoughts about Nintendo Switch 2, commenting that the response to the system was better than the company anticipated.
Tsujimoto remarks were interesting as they came about somewhat unprompted. He was recently asked about Monster Hunter Wilds and the game’s sales. While that title has sold ten million units, Capcom needs to find a way to push beyond that.
