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.
PQube and Mages uploaded a new Iwakura Aria launch trailer. The suspense visual novel previously came to Japan, but just landed in the west this week.
Lots of details can be found in the following overview:
Listings on the eShops provide file sizes for a bunch of Nintendo Switch games. These include LEGO Party, Herdling, and more.

Below are the full Nintendo Switch 2 eShop charts for the week of August 17, 2025:
November 2024 marked the grand return of the Mario & Luigi series after almost ten whole years without a new game. As someone who’s 100 percent completed the game (and spent well over 60 hours doing so), this is an incredibly polarizing RPG. On one hand, the visual style is excellent – the characters are expressive, the core gameplay of the series remains mostly intact, and the story, while nothing groundbreaking, is solid. On the other hand, Brothership is held back by its awful pacing, disappointing technical performance, and a large amount of filler content between its main story beats.
Fifteen years down the line, I’m not sure that Nintendo could actually fix any of Mario & Luigi: Brothership’s biggest problems via a traditional remake. Many of its greatest issues are baked into its story and presentation in such a way that it would require significant retooling of plot points and gameplay. But today, we’re going to go over a list of changes that would help cement Mario & Luigi: Brothership as the best entry in the series. We’re not banking on these changes ever being implemented, but it’s fun nonetheless. Do keep in mind that we’ll be discussing spoilers, so you might want to bookmark this post and come back later if you’re still trying to avoid them.
New data provided by Famitsu gives us a look at Japan’s best-selling games of July 2025.
Donkey Kong Bananza was the big new release of the month, but it actually wasn’t in first. That’s because Mario Kart World – which comes from a series that always shows staying power – managed to come out on top for the second consecutive month. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is also able to enter the top five.
