For those looking for a complete list of all games included and supported in Nintendo Music, that’s where this post comes in.
Nintendo Music only came with a few songs at launch. However, since then, a few more have been added. Nintendo has also indicated that additional music is coming in the future. Currently it seems that we can expect at least one new title to be brought to the service each week.

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.
[Let’s Talk] Most anticipated game of 2025
Posted on 2 days ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk, Switch | 0 comments
With 2024 wrapping up in just a couple of weeks, it’s time to think about 2025. Next year is looking like it could be a very exciting year for Nintendo fans for a few different reasons, including the expected launch of Switch 2.
As far as what’s confirmed, there are actually a number of Nintendo Switch games already slated for the new year. From Nintendo, we’re finally getting Metroid Prime 4: Beyond years after it was announced along with Pokemon Legends: Z-A, Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition, and Donkey Kong Country Returns HD. From third-parties, Tales of Graces f Remastered, Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter, Guilty Gear Strive, Civilization VII, Phantom Brave: The Lost Hero, Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered, Suikoden I & II HD Remaster, Shadow Labyrinth, Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound, Capcom Fighting Collection 2, and Little Nightmares 3 are all on the way with even more planned.
Nintendo Switch 2 is obviously the wild card here. The new console is technically not confirmed for 2025 (only the announcement is), but is largely expected. By the time it comes out, it’ll be eight years since the release of the current Switch. A new console can bring all sorts of new experiences from Nintendo, but all of that exists in just a thought bubble currently.
So as we turn attention to 2025, what’s your most anticipated game – or games – of the year so far? Let us know in the comments.
Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered review for Nintendo Switch
Posted on 2 days ago by Dawn in Reviews, Switch eShop | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: December 10, 2024
Developer: Crystal Dynamics
Publisher: Aspyr
One of many series that I have mourned the loss of over the last two decades is Legacy of Kain. After the disastrous Nosgoth spinoff was cancelled and the IP was passed back and forth over the years with various acquisitions, it seemed to be a series that would be eventually forgotten about. The Soul Reaver duology received widespread critical acclaim at the time of their release, and even though this was 25 years ago, their resurrection on the Nintendo Switch as Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered shows that time has done little to dull what made them such noteworthy titles when they were first released.
Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom’s Tri was initially more human-like
Posted on 2 days ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Zelda games are known for their companions, and in Echoes of Wisdom, Tri served that purpose. In a Famitsu interview, the team gave some insight into how the character was finalized.
The most interesting thing here is that, according to co-director Tomomi Sano, Tri originally had a more human-like design in Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. However, after Tri’s role shifted a bit, so did the character itself. Series producer Eiji Aonuma also stated that having the character not be human was “essential” since “the fact they couldn’t understand human emotions was an important point.”
