On social media, Limited Run Games provided a report on its Nintendo Switch-based Carbon Engine titles running on Switch 2 through backwards compatibility.

Currently a few of these releases are experiencing issues on the new hardware. However, Limited Run has identified the issues, shared its findings with Nintendo, and is now readying patches. Additionally, some new features have been teased – but as of now we don’t have the details. We’re also unsure when the patches will be ready, but they’ll “roll out in the coming weeks”.

The full notice from Limited Run reads:

One of the big new features in Mario Kart World is the ability to unlock outfits for different characters. Most of the drivers in this game have plenty of costumes choose from – with the exception of Donkey Kong and Pauline, who only have one outfit each. Furthermore, some drivers, like Wiggler, Nabbit, and all of the minion characters, are designated as NPC drivers. This means that they don’t have any costumes to choose from at all.

System: Switch 2
Release date: June 5, 2025
Developer: Shin’en
Publisher: Shin’en

I love anti-gravity racers. My very first one was F-Zero GX, one of the two games I picked up with my GameCube in 2003, when I was six. I was addicted. I put dozens upon dozens of hours into the game, with its difficulty level only encouraging me to play more. My dad saw how much I loved it, and he owned a PlayStation 2 at the time. As a gift, he gifted me WipeOut Fusion the following year. A similar style of game, and another one I fell in love with, albeit not to the same extent. Still, as the years went by, F-Zero and WipeOut became series with infrequent releases at best. An itch formed within me for a new futuristic space racer, and unbeknownst to me, there was another one making the rounds from Shin’en.

The Legend of Zelda movie is seeing a delay, Nintendo just announced. The film will now hit theaters on May 7, 2027.

Nintendo had announced earlier in the year that the film was on track for March 26, 2027. However, now we know that it will take a bit longer than anticipated. The Legend of Zelda creator Shigeru Miyamoto, writing on social media, that the change in release date was made due to “production reasons”. He added that the team “will take the extra time to make the film as good as it can be.”

The full statement from Miyamoto about the Zelda movie delay reads:

A demo for Terrifier: The ARTcade Game will be available on Nintendo Switch, according to SelectaPlay and Relevo.

The announcement technically states that the demo is out now. However, we don’t see a page on the Nintendo eShop for it currently. When the demo does go live – which should be soon – fans will be able to get a taste of the blood-soaked retro beat ’em up inspired by the arcade classics of the 80s and 90s.
