This week we have a simple question – have you pre-ordered Nintendo Switch 2?
Reservations began this week in the United States (and Canada). To say the least, it was an… interesting experience. Best Buy, Target, GameStop, and Walmart all seemed to experience their fair share of issues with each site hammered with traffic and other shenanigans taking place. Based on reports, the best experience may have actually been visiting a local GameStop and pre-ordering there.
Regardless of where you are in the world, are you locked and loaded for Nintendo Switch 2 with a pre-order? Have you reserved any games? Let us know in the comments.
Klei started distribution of a new version 1.18.0 update for Balatro on Nintendo Switch, which brings along a Balatro collaboration.
Players can claim the Fools Crown skin for the Bee Queen crown. They may also run into Jimbo himself wandering around the Constant. There’s even a Balatro mini-game to experience now as well.
Here’s the full rundown of what’s included in this week’s update:
Nintendo of America president Doug Bowser has weighed in on the decision to launch Switch 2 in June.
Bowser said that the company isn’t locked into specific time frames to launch gaming products. For June though, it’s not a bad choice given that the summer is starting (with kids starting to finish school for the year). Since Nintendo Switch 2 is portable, you can take it anywhere – which works well for a vacation.
Just recently, Forever Entertainment released a new version 1.0.6 update for Night Slashers: Remake.

The latest Nintendo Switch eShop charts for the week of April 26, 2025 are now available.
It’s the same story as the last couple of weeks with Minecraft continuing its run, landing at #1. The only game that’s given it some competition is NBA 2K25 thanks to a big sale, but it settles for second.

Fresh off of its Nintendo Switch appearance this week, we have gameplay for 9th Dawn Remake. Nearly a half hour of footage shows the open-world RPG which features dungeon-crawling adventure elements.
Learn more about it in the following overview:
The Legend of Zelda series is well-known for its rather convoluted timeline, and by extension, there’s a lot of interest in lore. Every time a new game in the series is released, fans get to work right away in trying to determine where on the timeline it may fall. For Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, this was an incredibly difficult task – the co-existence of Rito and Zora, for instance, makes it tough to find a specific placement for these two games. Previously, Nintendo shared an official timeline showing Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom are completely separate. Echoes of Wisdom is now the newest game in the series, and there’s official confirmation that it’s part of the downfall timeline.
Today, we’re discussing the lore Echoes of Wisdom adds to the series, plus where it might be located on the timeline. Do keep in mind that we’ll be discussing heavy spoilers, so keep that in mind before moving forward.
A few months back, we examined the launch of almost every major Nintendo console. That was before we knew about Nintendo Switch 2 or any of its games, though – and now that we know just about everything regarding the system’s launch this June, we’re going to compare it to some of Nintendo’s previous console launches and see how it holds up.
A new launch trailer is available for Sunseed Island. The game, which features farming, exploring, and collecting, just ended up on Nintendo Switch.
Lots of details can be found in the following eShop description:
