The 40th anniversary of the Super Mario Bros. series is finally here, and Nintendo’s most notable offering for the event has now arrived as well. By now, there isn’t too much to say about Super Mario Galaxy or Super Mario Galaxy 2 that hasn’t already been said – they’re absolutely brilliant 3D platformers and are properly rated as some of the greatest games of all time. Thankfully, that brilliance continues to shine bright on Nintendo Switch (and Switch 2) with the new re-release. Long story short: if you can stomach the $70 asking price, this is the best official way to play two of Nintendo’s greatest games. The developers have made a whole host of minor changes to these titles that make them a joy to play through, even to this day.
Space Chef now has its release date on Nintendo Switch. The game is slated for October 28, 2025, publisher Kwalee and developer BlueGooGames confirmed today.
Space Chef, a cooking adventure title, was revealed back in 2022. Fans helped bring the project to life via crowdfunding.
Tons of details can be found in the following overview:
Digital Foundry has conducted a deep dive on the DLSS functionality for Nintendo Switch 2, uncovering new details.
For those that are unaware, DLSS essentially allows games to achieve higher resolution that wouldn’t normally be possible. For example, Street Fighter 6 runs at a fixed native 960×540 resolution when docked, but can ultimately output at 1080p.
August 29: Playtonic has just come through with a release date for Yooka-Replaylee, their new Nintendo Switch 2 game. Fans can pick it up on October 9, 2025.
Yooka-Replaylee is a remake of the original Yooka-Laylee, which previously came to Nintendo Switch.
