Kazuya Takahashi, the director of Donkey Kong Bananza, has commented on the game’s performance and frame rate drops.
Overall, early impressions of the Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive have been positive. However, some who have been able to try out the game prior to launch have noticed some frame rate dips. It’s largely stable and tends to hit its target of 60 frames per second, but inconsistencies have been noticed. We should get a better idea about performance following launch, which is happening next Thursday.
July 10: Today, it was revealed that the FBI has taken down Nsw2u, a website connected with piracy on Nintendo Switch.
Nsw2u housed plenty of ROMs for games on the console. If you had a hacked Nintendo Switch or a working PC emulator, some could download content from the site and play those titles without legally purchasing them.
Nintendo Switch 2 kicked off its launch with GameCube games on Switch Online, but unfortunately, it’s not entirely perfect with some issues having been noticed – particularly with latency.
Right now the emulation Nintendo has in place isn’t up to snuff compared to the original GameCube releases. Everything available right now – F-Zero GX, Zelda: The Wind Waker, Soulcalibur 2, and Super Mario Strikers – is affected.
July 8: 2K made it official today that NBA 2K26 will be appearing on Nintendo Switch 2. A release is planned for this fall.
Plans for the NBA 2K franchise were announced for the new console during a Nintendo Direct earlier this year. However, now we know that the system will be getting the latest entry in the basketball series.

Atari, Mighty Yell, and 13AM Games have issued a launch trailer for Missile Command Delta. This is a reimagining of the 1980s missile defense arcade title, now as a turn-based strategy experience.
We have more details about the game in the following overview:
We’ve got another Nintendo Switch 2 accessory review for you — this time, it’s for the Skull & Co NeoGrip.
A little while back, we published a review for the StandGrip, which is another Switch 2 grip from Skull & Co. That one is definitely the most comfortable in our opinion, but the NeoGrip offers a different range of features for those who prefer other options. For one, the NeoGrip is much lighter, and it’s easier to slide off and on. It keeps the kickstand accessible, unlike the StandGrip, which brings a bit more functionality in case you’re looking for that. Most importantly, however, the NeoGrip is dock-friendly, which means you can keep it attached to the console even in docked mode. That’s an important feature for some players, so if that counts for you too, we definitely recommend considering this grip.
Mario Kart World introduced plenty of new items to the series, and now it’s got more unique items than any other game in the franchise. Not all of them are winners, though, and after almost 100 hours playing the game we’ve decided to rank every single one in a tier list. We’ve also added explanations on why each item is in its respective tier.
A new launch trailer has arrived for Bad End Theater to celebrate the console launch. A few years after its initial debut, it just arrived on Nintendo Switch.
Here’s a brief introduction to the game:
