Original: CES 2025 is in fully swing, and while the tech event isn’t overly exciting if you’re into console gaming, a bit of Nintendo Switch 2 is coming out of the show as accessories maker Genki has a dummy model on display.
The company has the unit on hand behind closed doors. To be clear, this is not a final retail unit. However, attendees can still get their hands on the dummy device which German outlet Netzwelt says is larger in the hands. The site was told by Genki that it has the “exact dimensions” of the Nintendo Switch 2.
United Label and Odd Bug Studio are offering up the latest look at Tails of Iron 2: Whiskers of Winter with a new trailer showing off the action RPG’s ‘Elementa’ spellcasting system. The team says this allows for greater combat options.
Lead designer Jack Bennett said: “We’ve been excitedly waiting to share the news for a while that spellcasting is coming to the Ratdom in Tails of Iron 2: Whiskers of Winter. Mastering the brutal combat of sword and spear against ferocious opposition is something fans of the original game were accustomed to, so for the follow-up we really wanted to introduce another layer of in-the-moment combat options for players to command and use against Arlo’s foes. The ‘Elementa’ magics of the gods, coupled with the addition of traps, gives players that extra layer to consider, and more.”

As of today, Nintendo Switch Online members have the chance to earn new icons from Yoshi.
Each month, a new classic game gets their own designs on the service. Yoshi is that title for January 2025.
System: Switch
Release date: January 7, 2024
Developer: Falcom
Publisher: Marvelous
Despite arguably being dethroned as Falcom’s flagship series over the years by the Trails series, Ys has nonetheless seen a rising amount of success since the release of Lacrimosa of Dana. The standalone nature of the games make it an easy series to jump onto at any point, and although it’s a difficult series to access in its entirety outside of PC ports thanks to several of the games being decades old and trapped on outdated platforms, it’s gradually making its way onto modern consoles through remakes and remasters. Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana is the latest chapter in Adol’s expansive adventures to come to Nintendo Switch, and is another strong instalment despite its age and notably different gameplay style from its successors.
