April 2: Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment has just been announced for Nintendo Switch 2. It’ll be available this winter.
Building off of other games in the series, this one features the untold story from Hyrule’s distant past of the Imprisoning War that led to the events of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. According to Nintendo, it’s a “canonical tale”.
First details can be found in the following overview:
A new trademark for Hotel Dusk: Room 215 has been filed in Japan, and some are hoping that it could mark a return of the Nintendo DS game.
We typically don’t report on Japanese trademarks as they tend to be overblown. More often than not, they are filings done to protect IPs and are not indicative of an imminent release. However, we’re in a bit of a different situation here. Whereas most Japanese trademarks for Nintendo games are for renewals, this is an entirely new filing. Additionally, Hotel Dusk now has a trademark in the country for the first time (there was previously one for its Japanese name Wish Room).
Licensing agency Striker LLC has recently mentioned Friday the 13th: The Game as an avenue for fans to experience to franchise. This was all in a recent press release announcing a new partnership with the IP.
The asymmetrical survival horror game, which previously made it to Nintendo Switch, was originally delisted in 2023 with all servers shutting down in 2024. This was due to the developers licensing rights expiring, and therefore being unable to use the Jason Vorhees IP.
The release mentions that they are overseeing all Friday the 13th products and are looking to push the franchise in new ways, specifically name dropping Friday the 13th: The Game. They even group it with more of the franchises projects that are currently in development.
According to a report from Bloomberg, Samsung Electronics is manufacturing the main semiconductor chips for Nintendo Switch 2.
The outlet says that the NVIDIA-designed chip will allow for a production pace in which Nintendo could ship over 20 million units by March 2026. Samsung also has the capabilities to increase chip production, but Switch 2 shipments are dependent on assemblers.
Previously announced for Nintendo Switch, Missile Command: Recharged now has an official release date. The game, produced by Atari and developed by Mighty Yell and 13AM Games, launches on July 8.
A reimagining of the classic ’80s title, the arcade defense game returns as a turn-based tactical experience, set against a mysterious narrative that will leave players wondering if they’re truly defending cities or simply trapped in a simulation.

The latest UK software sales chart for the week ending May 17, 2025 is now available.
There’s not too much excitement here if you’re a Nintendo fan as most are holding out for Switch 2, which is coming in just a couple of weeks. EA Sports FC 25 charts the highest at #3. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe slips a few spots, but is still in the top ten.
Here’s the full UK software sales chart for the week ending May 17, 2025:
Nintendo will be attending Gamescom 2025, the company has confirmed. That news was just posted today on social media.
Nintendo had previously been one of the bigger representatives at Gamescom, which is Europe’s largest gaming expo. However, in more recent years, the company’s attendance record has been spotty. Nintendo did appear at Gamescom 2023 which at that point was the first time in four years, but then missed last year’s show.
Limited Run Games has announced a different kind of physical release for Nintendo Switch, which is Award Winning Indie Gems 4-in-1.
As you’d expect, four different titles are included here. Endling: Extinction is Forever, Through the Darkest of Times, One Hand Clapping, and El Hijo: A Wild West Tale are all in the package.
Today, it was announced that Sticky Business is set to receive brand new Book of Shadows DLC. It will first come to PC on May 26 with Nintendo Switch to follow soon after.
The Book of Shadows DLC brings along a new wave of content for players. 84 new stickers (plus variations), 10 heartfelt customer stories, mystical goodies, glitter papers, and more are included.
As Nintendo continues to deliver small nuggets of information about Switch 2, we’ve now learned about its video recording limit as well as some accessibility features.
With the current Nintendo Switch, you should be aware that you can only record 30 seconds of gameplay at a time. For Nintendo Switch 2, that limit appears to be exactly the same. We can hold out hope that something like a firmware update could change that in the future, but at least at launch, 30 seconds is the recording limit once again.
