Everybody's Golf Hot Shots trailer

For those interested in getting another look Everybody’s Golf Hot Shots, Bandai Namco has put out a launch trailer. This marks the return of the PlayStation franchise which is now on a Nintendo platform.

Read more about it in the following overview:

Pac-Man World 2 Re-Pac

July 31: Just announced, Pac-Man World 2 Re-Pac is heading to Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch. It’s due out on September 26, 2025.

This is a remake of the original Pac-Man World 2 with fully updated graphics. Just like the original, it offers 3D platforming gameplay. Those who own the remake of the first title in the series, Pac-Man World Re-Pac, can unlock an exclusive Toc-Man costume once the game launches.

Everybody's Golf Hot Shots physical

We have a bit of good news for those interested in picking up a physical version of Everybody’s Golf Hot Shots on Nintendo Switch.

At this point, it’s safe to say that the game is digital-only in North America, especially given that it’s only a week out. There simply aren’t any listings we’ve been able to find pointing to a physical edition. However, in Europe, Bandai Namco is actually publishing a physical copy of Everybody’s Golf Hot Shots on Nintendo Switch. This works very well since the system is region-free – those in North America and elsewhere will be able to play it on their device.

Today, we’re going over some characters we’d like to see in the final version of Kirby Air Riders.

Kirby Air Riders recently received a big 45-minute Nintendo Direct presentation with tons of info and character reveals, including the newly-announced November 20 release date. During the presentation, game director Masahiro Sakurai commented that the game is called “Air Riders” because this time around, you can choose from multiple riders rather than just Kirby (and King Dedede and Meta Knight, who were unlockable in the original). 

Right now, Kirby Air Riders has a decent-sized roster: it includes Kirby, Dedede, Meta Knight, Bandana Waddle Dee, Chef Kawasaki, Cappy, Magolor, Gooey, Waddle Doo, Knuckle Joe, Susie, and Starman. But during the Nintendo Direct, Sakurai stated that there was more information to reveal prior to the game’s launch in November. Though it’s entirely possible we’ve seen the final roster for the game, it’s also possible that there are hidden or unlockable characters. 

Dragon Ball Gekishin Squadra release date

Today, Bandai Namco and Ganbarion revealed the release date for Dragon Ball: Gekishin Squadra. It’s coming to Nintendo Switch on September 9, 2025.

Dragon Ball: Gekishin Squadra was confirmed for Nintendo Switch back in June. This is a team-based battle action game, and it’ll be free-to-play.

Catch up on all of the details via the following overview:

Super Robot Wars Y trailer

A final look at Super Robot Wars Y is here with the game’s official launch trailer. The tactical RPG, which features an all-star cast of mechs and pilots, secured a worldwide debut on Nintendo Switch this week.

Thanks to Bandai Namco, we have the following details:

Dragon Ball Sparking Zero

July 31: After it was previously rumored, Bandai Namco confirmed plans for Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch versions of Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero today. This one is planned for November 14, 2025.

Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero, which was made by Spike Chunsoft, it is the fourth main entry in the Budokai Tenkaichi series. The 3D team fighter originally released towards the end of last year.

The 2025 Tokyo Game Show is just a month away, and Bandai Namco has just shown off its lineup for the show.

A couple of Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 titles will be available during the event with playable demos. The Nintendo Switch titles available will be Little Nightmares 3, Once Upon a Katamari, and Everybody’s Golf:Hotshots. The Switch 2 titles available will be Little Nightmares 3, and Tamagotchi Plaza – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition.

Bandai Namco’s full TGS 2025 lineup is as follows:

Following up on this week’s announcement of Tales of Xillia Remastered, Bandai Namco has confirmed the game’s frame rate and resolution on Nintendo Switch.

Frame rate is where fans might be disappointed with the final result. It turns out that the RPG will run at 30 FPS on Nintendo’s platform (and that could fluctuate depending on what’s happening on screen). As it turns out, this is actually a downgrade from the original PlayStation 3 release. Much of the game did run at 30 FPS back in the day, but battles were 60 FPS – and it would have been great to see something similar on Nintendo Switch.
