Rooftops & Alleys is heading to Nintendo Switch, MLMEDIA announced today. The game is set to arrive on June 17, 2025.
Rooftops & Alleys is a parkour game with various features and modes such as time trials, Capture the Flag, and more. Although it’s been in Early Access on PC, the full version is almost here, and it will include a new map, a full progression system, and “much more exciting content.”
Here’s some additional information:
Nintendo has recently released its 1.6.0 update for F-Zero 99, but it seems the company has added another bonus in tandem with the patch. User icons based on the game are now redeemable for Nintendo Switch Online members.
It is not required to play F-Zero 99 in order to claim these rewards. 12 character icons are up for grabs, as well as 12 backgrounds. Each character icon is redeemable with 10 Platinum Points on My Nintendo, and each background for 5.
Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa shared a statement today about Japanese pre-orders on the My Nintendo Store in light of significant interest that exceeded the company’s expectations.
According to Furukawa, 2.2 million people registered interest in reserving the system through its official website. That number “far exceeds our expectations and far exceeds the number of Nintendo Switch 2 consoles that can be delivered from the My Nintendo Store on June 5,” Furukawa said. Many customers won’t be selected, but will be automatically enrolled for a second lottery later on.

April 9: A key detail about Switch 2’s GameCube controller is seemingly confirmed. As it turns out, the device will apparently be compatible with just the upcoming Nintendo Classics app.
That information is included in Nintendo’s official video announcing GameCube games on Nintendo Switch 2. Since it’s only shown in the fine print of the UK upload (it’s not in the North American version), you may have missed it last week – in fact, it seems most people did.
Although there haven’t been any announcements, Blizzard is leaving the door open to Diablo 4 on Nintendo Switch 2.
Rod Fergusson, who is overseeing the franchise, has said that porting it over is “something to look at”. It seems that the hardware itself is not the issue – rather, it’s about ensuring that the system 2 can fully support live services.
