Star Wars Outlaws may not have met Ubisoft’s sales expectations when it first released on other platforms last year, but for many fans of the franchise, it’s a dream game all the same. There are plenty of titles based on the IP where you can play as a lightsaber-wielding hero, but Outlaws pursues a different goal: making the player feel like a bounty hunter in a seedy, unsafe part of the Galaxy where trust comes at a premium and everyone wants to kill you. It’s also a very ambitious game for a device like Switch 2, so I was excited to see how the game would play on Nintendo’s new console after a year’s worth of updates and new content.
Another tidbit has surfaced about Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2, revealing that mouse controls will be supported on Nintendo Switch 2. This comes from Nintendo’s Japanese website.
Nintendo hasn’t fully detailed how mouse controls work, but we know that they’ll be enabled following a free update. Similar to other games, the feature can be used with the Joy-Con 2. This same update will enable 4K support when playing on Nintendo Switch 2.

System: Switch 2
Release date: September 12, 2025
Developer: Nintendo
Publisher: Nintendo
All things considered, it seems safe to say that fans don’t appreciate Nintendo’s price antics lately. The recent Nintendo Direct confirmed the most expensive amiibo of all time, a $70 Super Mario Galaxy collection, and now a $20 Donkey Kong Bananza DLC two months after launch. That’s not inherently a problem – Bananza was in development for quite some time, given that it started out as a Switch 1 game. That said, the Nintendo Direct doesn’t do a very good job of telling you what the DLC actually is. From the previews, you would think DK Island is Donkey Kong Bananza’s version of the Mushroom Kingdom. And in many ways, it is – but it doesn’t have any Banandium Gems or fossils, nor any collectibles other than new outfits tied to the titular Emerald Rush mode. In other words, DK Island is essentially a big, pretty set piece – it’s nice to look at and fun to explore for a few minutes, but there’s not really anything of substance within.
