Following the launch of Nintendo Switch 2, we’re putting together a complete list of Nintendo Switch 2 games with a game-key card release.
This is a new approach to physical media, which has seen a mixed reaction. In a way, it’s a hybrid between a true physical release and a download code. Each box comes with a cartridge, but there’s nothing really included. Rather than coming with all content, you’ll need to download the game first. After that you don’t need to connect online, but you need to insert the card each time you play.

Bandai Namco has announced a new update for Little Nightmares 3. If you own the game on Nintendo Switch 2 or Switch, the patch should be accessible starting on October 31, 2025.
The new update comes with a number of improvements. Bandai Namco also says it’s listening to the community and will “continue improving the game and enhance your experience.”
The full rundown for the upcoming patch is as follows:
It’s been a big year for Nintendo Switch 2 accessories, as tons of different manufacturers try to get in on the action with their own products. We’ve reviewed the Genki Attack Vector, the Savage Raven NeoGrip, the Savage Raven StandGrip, the JSAUX Split Protective Case, and the dbrand Killswitch. And after testing out all of these grips (and spending a crazy amount of money), we’ve finally found the best one. It took a while for Satisfye’s ZenGrip 2 to become available – shipping delays and such means that customers are only now receiving their item – but many have found that the wait was worth it. How does the ZenGrip 2 hold up against other options on the market?
According to the developers behind Everybody’s Golf Hot Shots, a romance system with the caddy was almost included.
This comes from a recent interview with Japanese magazine Famitsu. During the discussion, chief producer Tomokazu Fukazawa revealed that at some point, “your caddy would have confessed to you on the greens”. However, this was not implemented due to a lack of time and money.
Our full translation of the excerpt with Fukazawa and producer Takafumi Takemoto is as follows:
In about a month, Nintendo Switch 2 will be getting one of its big holiday games in Kirby Air Riders. This week, director Masahiro Sakurai returned for a second Direct in which we were treated to a presentation that was about an hour long.
Even though this wasn’t the first Direct for the game, there was a massive amount here. Sakurai delved into various modes, features, options, and more. We even heard about things like additional amiibo and an online demo event. A helpful recap detailing everything shown can be found here.
Following this week’s Direct, are you sold on Kirby Air Riders? Do you plan on picking it up next month? Let us know in the comments.
A brand new method has been discovered in Pokemon Legends: Z-A that lets players clone shiny Pokemon, which is done by taking advantage of a glitch. This works presently, but note that there’s a strong chance that it will be patched out sometime soon.
Austin John Plays shared those findings in a new video today. It’s recommended to not keep both if you plan on using Pokemon Home – meaning you hold on to one, and trade the other. That’s because if you trade one away and keep one, they are not treated as clones. Pokemon Home has a clone check system.
Below are the steps for the Shiny Pokemon duplication glitch in Pokemon Legends: Z-A:
