The developers behind Everybody’s Golf Hot Shots have spoken about the decision to bring back the franchise.
This was a milestone release for a couple of reasons. First, it’s been several years since the franchise has seen a new entry – and even longer if you don’t count the 2019 VR game. Additionally, this is the first time that Everybody’s Golf has gone multiplatform, meaning it’s on a Nintendo system for the first time.
When asked by Japanese magazine Famitsu how Bandai Namco ended up working on Everybody’s Golf, which was originally a PlayStation-published series, producer Tomokazu Fukazawa said:
Today, we’re going over an age-old question: who are the strongest Nintendo characters according to canon? The answer to that is usually Kirby, but it’s not quite that simple when you lay things out. With that said, it’s impossible to talk about strong Nintendo characters without going over spoilers. This post contains hefty spoilers for Kirby, Bayonetta, Zelda, Metroid, and Xenoblade – so if you’re trying to avoid story details for any of those games, you might want to come back later.
To celebrate the launch of Castle of Heart: Retold, a new launch trailer has come in. The game, which originally released on Nintendo Switch in 2018, has received a fully revamped version (and owners of the original can get an 80 percent discount).

The 40th anniversary of the Super Mario Bros. series is finally here, and Nintendo’s most notable offering for the event has now arrived as well. By now, there isn’t too much to say about Super Mario Galaxy or Super Mario Galaxy 2 that hasn’t already been said – they’re absolutely brilliant 3D platformers and are properly rated as some of the greatest games of all time. Thankfully, that brilliance continues to shine bright on Nintendo Switch (and Switch 2) with the new re-release. Long story short: if you can stomach the $70 asking price, this is the best official way to play two of Nintendo’s greatest games. The developers have made a whole host of minor changes to these titles that make them a joy to play through, even to this day.
Space Chef now has its release date on Nintendo Switch. The game is slated for October 28, 2025, publisher Kwalee and developer BlueGooGames confirmed today.

Digital Foundry has conducted a deep dive on the DLSS functionality for Nintendo Switch 2, uncovering new details.
For those that are unaware, DLSS essentially allows games to achieve higher resolution that wouldn’t normally be possible. For example, Street Fighter 6 runs at a fixed native 960×540 resolution when docked, but can ultimately output at 1080p.
