System: Switch 2 (reviewed), Switch
Release date: December 9, 2025
Developer: Game Freak
Publisher: Nintendo
To differing extents, every new Pokemon release is met with some level of scrutiny. For Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, this scrutiny was completely understandable – the game launched in a buggy, laggy state, and it remains that way on standard Nintendo Switch consoles. Thankfully, Pokemon Legends: Z-A’s launch generally went over much smoother with hardcore Pokemon fans. While it isn’t perfect by any means (check out my review for more info), it’s a solid entry that will no doubt please anyone who enjoyed Pokemon Legends: Arceus. Now, Pokemon Legends: Z-A has received its corresponding DLC pack just two months after launch. And it’s very easy to sum up: if you liked Pokemon Legends: Z-A’s base game, you’ll like the DLC. If you didn’t care much for the base game, Mega Dimension won’t win you over.
Kirby and the Forgotten Land just made it to Switch, and players can take advantage of several Present Codes. When registered in-game at Waddle Dee-liveries, they provide a variety of different items.

Many Mega Evolutions can be obtained simply by going through the story. However, others are split up between sidequests, the post game, Hyperspace Portals, and future events.
The full roundup is as follows:
According to director Masahiro Sakurai, the team behind Kirby Air Riders will be disbanding soon.
At this point there largely isn’t a reason to keep everyone together. Development is finished, and as previously announced, the game isn’t getting DLC. However, we’re likely to get one more balance patch.
The Game Awards has thrown us a bunch of news, including a new teaser trailer for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. The film is still on track for an April 2026 release.
In this teaser we see Mario and Luigi Facing off against Benny Safdie’s Bowser Jr. Eagle eyed viewers have also pointed out that Luigi’s knee attack is very reminiscent of Captain Falcon’s knee smash in the Super Smash Bros. Series.
You can check out the new teaser trailer below.
Following the conclusion of The Game Awards 2025, we have the full list of winners across all of the various categories.

Capcom is making Mega Man Dual Override for both Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch, the company just revealed. The project is lined up for 2027.

Override challenges and blast down legions of robots while springboarding across a new array of futuristic frontiers!”
Take a look at the first trailer for Mega Man: Dual Override below.
