It’s time for the latest Famitsu’s most wanted games chart. A few Nintendo titles fall this week, but New Pokemon Snap makes its first appearance.
Head past the break for the full chart. All votes were cast between June 25 and July 1.
A number of new deals are up and running on the North American Switch eShop. These include Deadly Premonition Origins, Gal*Gun 2, the Outlast and Sniper Elite games, Sparklite, Uno, and more.
Here are the full highlights:
Until recently, the Borderlands series had never graced a Nintendo platform. That finally changed at the very end of May with Borderlands Legendary Collection. With that release, most of the franchise is now on Switch. Turn Me Up Games was heavily involved having worked on the ports of the first Borderlands as well as Borderlands 2.
We’ve caught up with Turn Me Up to discuss bringing these classic titles over to Nintendo’s console. Producer Louis Polak and executive producer Scott Cromie were able to share insight into its partnership with 2K and what it was like porting Borderlands 1 and 2 to Switch.
Here’s our full discussion:
This week on Nintendo Everything Podcast, Oni Dino finally gets his hands on a copy of Ring Fit and realizes he’s super out of shape. Galen eschews social distancing and parties with Jackbox. The gang covers news from rumors to controversies. Oni Dino vividly remembers the cheat code for Lara’s Bum in Tomb Raider II. (Psst… Lara Croft for Smash) Deadly Premonition 2 challenges what a video game is and neither critics nor consumers are in agreement about anything. Galen brings up comparisons of Tommy Wiseau’s The Room. And the big discussion is on the Nintendo Treehouse live stream, Bakugan, and how the hype machine bit itself in the butt.
Check out links and timestamps below, and come hang out.

Ubisoft has introduced the Gigatrack for Trials Rising. The free DLC launches this coming week, and will have players taking on the series’ longest track ever across five different environments.
Here’s a brief overview of the Gigatrack:
In previous years, Ubisoft held an annual press conference at E3 2020. But since the event was entirely scrapped due to the coronavirus, the company shifted plans to an online presentation instead. The broadcast, known as Ubisoft Forward, kicks off today at 12 PM PT / 3 PM ET / 8 PM in the UK / 9 PM in Europe. Some sort of pre-show should also be starting soon.
Ubisoft hasn’t confirmed all of the games that will be shown, so it’s unclear how much of the showcase will be relevant to Switch owners. Games like Gods & Monsters, Roller Champions, and Just Dance are possibilities.
You can watch Ubisoft Forward as it happens below. We’ll be reporting on any notable Nintendo-related news throughout the event.
Summoning Focus: Weekly Revival 18 has returned in Fire Emblem Heroes. 5-star Heroes who showed up before the start of Book II appear as focus Heroes, and the focus lineup changes each week.
You’ll be able to partake in Summoning Focus: Weekly Revival 18 until July 19.
