We’re only a few days away from Luigi’s Mansion joining Nintendo GameCube – Nintendo Classics for Switch 2 owners. Just announced, the game is slated for October 30, 2025.
Luigi’s Mansion will be available for Nintendo Switch Online members. However, you’ll specifically need to be a member of the Expansion Pack tier.
We have a new location guide for Pokemon Legends: Z-A, this time for Xerneas, one of Kalos’ two signature Legendary Pokemon.
As a Legendary Pokemon, it takes a while before you can catch Xerneas – more specifically, you’ll have to clear Pokemon Legends: Z-A’s main story. That should take somewhere around 20 hours if you’re rushing, with a few extra hours tacked on if you take on side quests. Since the game forces autosave to be left on, it’s impossible to fail Xerneas. If you defeat it, it will simply respawn and the mission won’t be cleared until you catch it. That may take a while, though – Xerneas traditionally has a low catch rate!
Today, Dark Point Games provided the release date for Achilles: Survivor on Nintendo Switch. The launch is lined up for October 30, 2025, so you won’t have to wait much longer to play it.
Achilles: Survivor, a bullet-heaven battle for Greece was previously in Steam Early Access. The Nintendo Switch version will contain all new content and improvements that have been added along the way.
