Although Stardew Valley has been around for many years, the game hasn’t charged for any of its updates. Everything has been free. That’s despite the fact that many of its patches have been substantial, bringing along new content, features, and more.
For what Stardew Valley has brought to the game over the past decade, many studios would have opted to charge for at least some of it as paid DLC. ConcernedApe, however, has not gone down that path. Now we get to hear directly from its creator about why all of the updates have been free.
Bayonetta creator Hideki Kamiya has shared some extensive thoughts about his plans for the series had he stayed on with PlatinumGames.
Kamiya left the company at the end of 2023. He has since founded the new studio Clovers and is teaming up with Capcom on an Okami sequel.
Arc System Works has shared the release date for Unika in Guilty Gear Strive, which is the game’s latest DLC character. It’ll be available on May 27, 2025.
Unika is one of three characters in the game’s fourth season pass. Previously, Venom was made available in March. Lucy from Cyberpunk: Edgerunners will round things out this summer.
Thousands of games are currently available on Switch, and there are a ton of demos out there for many of them. Not just Nintendo, but also third-parties are offering demos. We’ve now put together a comprehensive list of what’s out there.
Since our reader base is English-speaking, that’s what we’re focusing on here. In other words, we’re highlighting Switch demos that you can find in North America and Europe. Japan has a few extra demos on its end, but a majority of them are for titles that are not currently being sold in the west and are only playable in Japanese.

The latest Nintendo Switch eShop charts for the week of May 10, 2025 are now available.
Tell us if this sounds familiar: Minecraft is #1. Yes, once again, the game is still at the top of the charts. Otherwise, it’s mostly status quo for the most part.
Below are the full Nintendo Switch eShop charts for the week of May 10, 2025:
A launch trailer has been released to coincide with the debut of Captain Blood. After it was originally in the works in the 2010s but was scrapped after the original publisher went bankrupt, it’s now finally here fifteen years later.
We’ve got information about the hack-and-slash pirate adventure title in the following overview:
December 25: Wolf Team’s classic game Final Zone will soon be making an appearance on Nintendo Switch, an eShop listing reveals. It will launch on January 17, 2025.
Final Zone is an isometric shooter that originally debuted in 1990. The Nintendo Switch version comes with a gallery, a jukebox, support for rewind/turbo, and cheats.
Previously, we discussed a list of characters we could potentially see in the next Super Smash Bros. game on Nintendo Switch 2. Continuing from that idea, new fighters alone might not be enough to differentiate it from Ultimate, which is part of why we think the next Smash game will be all-new rather than an enhanced port. A new Smash would need to retain Ultimate’s focus on high-quality gameplay and movement options, but it would also have to include plenty of new and returning modes to set itself apart as a wholly different experience from the Nintendo Switch title.
Here are some of the modes and features we’d like to see added to the next Smash Bros. game. While we don’t have an announcement of any sort right now (nor any confirmation that a new game is even in development), one would think that there’ll eventually be an announcement, even if it’s far in the future.
Thanks to Untold Tales, the launch trailer for Bearnard is now available. Nintendo Switch just received the 8-bit action adventure game which includes turn-based combat, archery, and card combat.
Further details about the experience can be found in the following overview:
