System: Switch 2
Release date: September 26, 2025
Developer: EA Sports
Publisher: EA Sports

As a longtime football/soccer fanatic, I’ve played a whole bunch of different video game adaptations of the sport over the years – from ill-fated attempts like Mega Man Soccer, to really fun and engaging versions of the sport like in Mario Strikers or Virtua Striker 2. These are usually exaggerated or watered down versions of the beautiful game that don’t entirely reflect the appeal or the intricacies of the sport at its core, so although they can be serious arcade-y fun, they don’t always scratch the same itch of doing a Cruyff turn and smashing the ball top bins. This is why we have had direct football simulator games, like PES and FIFA, even Football Manager to an extent, really get popular in the late 90s and early 2000s. Getting a red card from a referee in FIFA International Soccer on SEGA Genesis, and choosing to endlessly run away from the official instead of accepting your punishment and coming off the pitch is very silly and fun, but not entirely accurate to the sport itself. As the years have gone on, I’ve played almost every entry in the EA FC/FIFA series, often with my dad. Some of my earliest memories of gaming come from playing against him on the PS1 in FIFA ’99, and as the games have improved in detail and range of play modes, my fondness for the series has grown. I think the newest entry in the series, EA Sports FC 26, truly rivals the best the series has to offer in every department.

Nick Reinhart, general manager at PopCap, recently spoke about why the original Plants vs. Zombies is making a comeback after so many years with the upcoming Replanted remaster.

The title is seeing a new release later this year on Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch. It goes well beyond a port as the team is adding in local co-op and PVP options, the Rest in Peace and Cloudy Day modes, and an art gallery showing previously-unreleased concepts.

Apex Legends was only just announced for Nintendo Switch 2 last week, but it came out yesterday. We now have a first look with a bunch of footage.

Compared to the experience on Nintendo’s previous console, Apex Legends looks to be significantly improved on Switch 2 from a technical standpoint – which is to be expected. Other outlets should be taking a more in-depth look, but it runs at higher resolution with smoother performance.

Otherwise we have confirmation that mouse controls are supported with the Joy-Con 2. Gyro is included as well if you prefer that.
