Switch 2

August 1: Ahead of EVO – which starts today – Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection has revealed its release date, Mortal Kombat Trilogy, and a physical release. At least physically, the package heads to Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch on December 12, 2025. We’re waiting to see if the digital launch is happening earlier as the Xbox store previously had that down for September 30 before the listing was removed.

Mortal Kombat Trilogy came out in 1996. While largely the same as Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, it featured characters and stages restored from Mortal Kombat and Mortal Kombat 2. 

As part of the celebration of the 40th anniversary of Super Mario Bros., Nintendo has announced Yoshi and the Mysterious Book for Switch 2. It launches in Spring 2026.

Nintendo has given the following blurb about Yoshi and the Mysterious Book:

Super Mario Bros. Wonder Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Meetup in Bellabel Park has just been announced. It will be available in Spring 2026.

Bellabel Park adds a new plaza to the game. It supports a variety of attractions in which you can team up with or play against others. Other new content is planned – Nintendo will provide further information at a later date.

38 playable characters will be included, which is the most in series history. There’ll be a Tournament Mode, the Trial Towers Mode, Mix It Up Mode (with Wonder Effects from Super Mario Bros. Wonder), and online support. You can also swing your Joy-Con like a racket in another mode. On top of that, a story mode is included in which Mario and the rest of the gang are transformed into babies.

Here’s what Nintendo is saying about the game thus far:

Cronos The New Dawn review

System: Switch 2
Release date: September 5, 2025
Developer: Bloober Team
Publisher: Bloober Team

It’s always nice to play games that feel like a product of the people that made them, and to see complex cultural values and historical experiences reflected within the games we play. It’s even nicer to see these topics handled in a way that feels earnest, heartfelt, and naturally rooted in the onscreen fiction. The risk-averse confines of the AA and AAA ecosystem make it difficult for modern developers to sing from the heart in this regard, which is what makes Cronos: The New Dawn such an enticing prospect. Fresh off of their mainstream mega-success with a solid remake of Konami’s Silent Hill 2, Polish developer Bloober Team has bucked the idea of banking on the safety of sequels and remakes. Instead, they’ve opted to hard-launch an entirely new action-horror franchise. Not just any new franchise, mind – but one that’s so deeply rooted in modern Polish history that I came out the other end of my time with it wearing a zupan.

It’s time for the newest North American Nintendo Download Switch report for the week of September 11, 2025. The latest releases on the Nintendo eShop include LEGO Voyagers and more.
