Nintendo’s Switch Game Vouchers program is official coming to an end.
A notice about the discontinuation was posted on the official support page. On January 30, 2026, Nintendo Switch owners will not be able to purchase Game Vouchers. Vouchers expire twelve months after they were bought, so there aren’t any changes there. Nintendo didn’t elaborate on why the move is being made.
Company of Heroes Collection just went live with a brand new update for Nintendo Switch today, which lets players access online multiplayer.
The feature was previously made available on mobile. Now the same functionality is included on Nintendo Switch and cross-play is supported between all platforms.
Today, Total Mayhem Games announced that the We Were Here series is set to appear on Nintendo Switch. Fans can pick up the first three games later in 2025.
We Were Here is a series of co-op puzzle games. Backwards compatibility with Nintendo Switch 2 is promised and cross-platform support is in development.
Here’s what you can expect from the upcoming titles:
June 20: Splatoon 3 has revealed a new Splatfest that will be held for Summer Nights 2025.
This time around, Nintendo is asking how players would like to travel. They can choose between land, sea, or air.
March 11: Today, Inti Creates unveiled Azure Striker Gunvolt Trilogy Enhanced for Nintendo Switch. This will launch on July 24, 2025.
The package includes Azure Striker Gunvolt, Azure Striker Gunvolt 2, and Azure Striker Gunvolt 3 plus all DLC. According to Inti Creates, “the series director has renewed all three titles, polishing the action gameplay and updating the music.” Also, items that were offered separately such as voice drama CDs are now included in-game in Library Mode, making for the most complete “final version” of the trilogy.
June 4: As we enter the Nintendo Switch 2 era, the very first Switch Online icons are here for a game on the console – that being Mario Kart World.
Starting today, different designs will be available if you’re a member of the service. Fans can grab icons for many different characters, backgrounds, and frames. Characters, as usual, cost 10 My Nintendo Platinum Points each. Backgrounds and frames will set you back 5 Platinum Points. Icons can be earned on both Nintendo Switch and Switch 2.
January 28: Not one, but two classic Harvest Moon games have been announced for Nintendo Switch with The Lost Valley and Skytree Village on the way as part of Natsume’s Cozy Bundle. They’ll be available this summer.
Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley and Skytree Village previously debuted on Nintendo 3DS. For the Nintendo Switch versions, both games will be included on a single cartridge and with all DLC.
Below are overviews for both games:
If you’re itching to play Wild Hearts S before it comes to Nintendo Switch 2 at the end of the month, we’ve got good news – a demo has started to arrive.
As of now the demo for Wild Hearts S has rolled out in Japan and Australia. We imagine that the North American and European listings will update tomorrow as well. Even so, any Switch 2 owner can download the trial right now if they create a Japanese or Australian Nintendo Account.
We have another round of data from Nintendo, this time covering Japan’s best-selling Switch eShop titles for the first half of 2025.
To say the least, it’s been a good few months for Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time. The game secured the first two spots with a couple of different editions. Other titles in the top ten include Tamagotchi Plaza, Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition, and Donkey Kong Country Returns HD.
The full list is as follows:
We have an update on the situation that happened last month in which one specific GameStop location damaged Nintendo Switch 2 systems with a stapler, as now the retailer is auctioning off the first unit that was impacted. Fortunately, it’s all for a good cause.
To get you caught up to speed, one GameStop store thought it’d be a good idea to staple receipts to the boxes. What they didn’t realize is that by doing so, the stapler went through and hit the Nintendo Switch 2 screen. Anyone who was impacted received a free replacement, but since it was a bit of a strange story, the news circulated online.
