July 31: During today’s Nintendo Direct, Square Enix unveiled Octopath Traveler 0. It will be available on December 4, 2025.
This is the third main entry in the Octopath Traveler series. We previously saw Octopath Traveler and Octopath Traveler 2, though the franchise hadn’t appeared on Nintendo Switch 2 – until now.
Here’s what’s been shared thus far about the new title:
Start from zero in a personal quest of restoration and retribution! In this prequel to the first OCTOPATH TRAVELER, journey to stop powerful villains using fast-paced, turn-based combat. For the first time in the series, play through the eyes of your own custom protagonist and rebuild your hometown. With over 30 recruitable party members, an engaging story, and all-new features and returning core elements like the iconic HD-2D graphics and the Break & Boost battle system, players embark on a journey of their own creation when OCTOPATH TRAVELER 0 arrives for both Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch on Dec. 4.
Get a look at the first trailer for Octopath Traveler 0 below.

September 25: There technically hasn’t been an official announcement, but it looks like fans can expect new amiibo for Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection.
Capcom is at the 2025 Tokyo Game Show this week, and the company has three new figures on display. Specifically, there are three that are being shown off. This is especially interesting as we haven’t heard about any of them – until now. It does make sense as Capcom supported the series’ previous entries with amiibo.
Here’s a look at the different figures, courtesy of the following photo snapped by RodimusPrimal82:
The latest Nintendo Switch eShop charts for the week of September 27, 2025 are now available.
Hades 2 had its launch this week, and like we saw previously, it’s #1. However, it’s going to face heavy competition coming up with Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 dropping next Thursday. With pre-loads alone, it’s proving popular at #2 (with the individual games also appearing).
Below are the full Nintendo Switch eShop charts for the week of September 27, 2025:
A final launch trailer has been released for Wizordum, a retro FPS. The game appeared on consoles this week, including Nintendo Switch.
All of the important details can be found in the following overview:
If you watched the most recent Nintendo Direct, you likely saw the news that Capcom is bringing not one, but three Resident Evil games to Nintendo Switch 2 early next year. The system will be getting Resident Evil 7, Village, and Requiem at the same time.
Capcom’s Masato Kumazawa has now spoken about what went into that decision as part of a recent interview. That discussion reveals that the company first prototyped Resident Evil Village on Nintendo Switch 2, and after seeing the positive results, wanted to try porting Requiem. Capcom felt the results there were also promising, and decided to throw in Resident Evil 7 as well. Having them all ready at the same time made sense for Capcom so that players could “just jump in” and start at 7 or with the series’ newest entry.
September 12: Following recent rumors, Square Enix has announced a remake of Dragon Quest 7 which is Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined. The news was just shared in today’s Nintendo Direct – it’ll be on both Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch.
Square Enix has been on a tear with Dragon Quest remakes as of late. Last year, we saw Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake. That’ll be followed up with Dragon Quest 1 & 2 HD-2D Remake next month.
IO Interactive released a big update for Hitman World of Assassination with version 3.240.
New features, adjustments, and fixes are included. As part of this, Nintendo Switch 2 players will find some specific bugs that have been squashed. Also worth noting, IO is offering the ability for you to holster two items on your back, though it’s a bit limited currently.
You can find the full patch notes below. Note that it’s out on both Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch (the latter is for Hitman 3 – Cloud Version).
Pac-Man World 2 Re-Pac fans can now watch a new launch trailer for the game. Originally released in 2002, the 3D platformer has received the full remake treatment.
The Nintendo eShop description gives us the following details:
Naoki Hamaguchi, the director of Final Fantasy 7 Remake, has spoken about the challenges involved with getting the game on Nintendo Switch 2.
Hamaguchi recently spoke with us about how portable play was a particular focus. Square Enix wanted to “deliver strong performance in handheld mode without sacrificing quality.”
Following the launch of Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time Gift Codes, we’ve put a post together with all available Gift Codes.
Level-5 is expected to share new codes in the days and months to come. Each one should provide its own set of items for players to get their hands on. If you’re looking for a complete list, we’ve got you covered.
