Posted on 16 hours ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Mobile, News | 0 comments
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.

Star Wars Outlaws review for Nintendo Switch 2
Posted on 21 hours ago by Nicholas Serpa in Reviews, Switch 2 | 0 comments
System: Switch 2
Release date: September 4, 2025
Developer: Massive Entertainment
Publisher: Ubisoft
Star Wars Outlaws may not have met Ubisoft’s sales expectations when it first released on other platforms last year, but for many fans of the franchise, it’s a dream game all the same. There are plenty of titles based on the IP where you can play as a lightsaber-wielding hero, but Outlaws pursues a different goal: making the player feel like a bounty hunter in a seedy, unsafe part of the Galaxy where trust comes at a premium and everyone wants to kill you. It’s also a very ambitious game for a device like Switch 2, so I was excited to see how the game would play on Nintendo’s new console after a year’s worth of updates and new content.

Donkey Kong Bananza: DK Island & Emerald Rush DLC review
Posted on 1 day ago by Ethan in Reviews, Switch 2 | 0 comments
System: Switch 2
Release date: September 12, 2025
Developer: Nintendo
Publisher: Nintendo
All things considered, it seems safe to say that fans don’t appreciate Nintendo’s price antics lately. The recent Nintendo Direct confirmed the most expensive amiibo of all time, a $70 Super Mario Galaxy collection, and now a $20 Donkey Kong Bananza DLC two months after launch. That’s not inherently a problem – Bananza was in development for quite some time, given that it started out as a Switch 1 game. That said, the Nintendo Direct doesn’t do a very good job of telling you what the DLC actually is. From the previews, you would think DK Island is Donkey Kong Bananza’s version of the Mushroom Kingdom. And in many ways, it is – but it doesn’t have any Banandium Gems or fossils, nor any collectibles other than new outfits tied to the titular Emerald Rush mode. In other words, DK Island is essentially a big, pretty set piece – it’s nice to look at and fun to explore for a few minutes, but there’s not really anything of substance within.

September 12: Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 are returning in a new collection. This launches on October 2, 2025.
The two titles will be sold together as a physical bundle. Both of these titles will be available individually on the Nintendo eShop as well.
These are largely the same games as they were on Wii. There are some extra bells and whistles though, including enhanced resolution, improved UI, Assist Mode, and new Storybook content.
On top of the above, new amiibo are coming in April. Here’s a look:
Chibi-Robo is one of Nintendo’s most charming classics, and here’s why
Posted on 2 days ago by Ethan in Features, GameCube, Switch 2 | 0 comments
At the time of writing, Chibi-Robo is Nintendo’s latest offering in the GameCube division of Nintendo Switch Online’s emulators. Notably, this is the first time Nintendo has given any significant attention to Chibi-Robo since Zip Lash on 3DS. If you don’t know this already, Zip Lash is commonly attributed to the downfall of the entire series – it was a mediocre 2D platformer on a system with a ton of great 2D platformers, so it didn’t stand out and sold poorly as a result. Skip Ltd., the developers of the Chibi-Robo games, shut their doors soon after.
That’s why it feels important to look at the original Chibi-Robo now more than ever. It’s a very unique and charming little game, and it’s very much unlike most classic Nintendo franchises – it’s probably most similar to Pikmin, if I had to make a comparison. Regardless, today we’re talking all about the original Chibi-Robo, which you can now play via Nintendo Switch Online – but only if you have a Switch 2 and the Expansion Pack membership.

One of the longest Nintendo Directs ever just took place yesterday with the September 2025 presentation. Nintendo itself presented the latest news for both Switch 2 and Switch, but third-parties chimed in as well.

Other highlights include the Virtual Boy Nintendo Classics, Donkey Kong Bananza DLC, Super Mario Bros. Wonder Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, and Metroid Prime 4 and Hyrule Wariors: Age of Imprisonment release dates. From third-parties, we saw Resident Evil Requiem (plus Resident Evil 7 and Village), Fatal Frame 2 Remake, Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined, and Danganronpa 2×2. This wasn’t everything, but you can catch up on it all here.
So now that the Nintendo Direct is over, how are you feeling about it? What was your favorite announcement? Let us know in the comments.

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.
Bubsy in: The Purrfect Collection review for Nintendo Switch
Posted on 3 days ago by Richard in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: September 9, 2025
Developer: Limited Run
Publisher: Atari
There’s something about that bobcat, isn’t there? Since making his debut in 1993, Bubsy has lived in gaming infamy for his in-your-face attitude, and also for the reputation of his games not being the best the platforming genre has to offer. Even still, the character has had an unmistakable impact on the industry, and whether ironic or sincere, he has garnered a following and earned himself a cult status amongst platforming mascots. This led to a revival of the series in the late 2010s with a nineteen year gap between the releases of Bubsy 3D in 1996 and Bubsy: The Woolies Strike Back in 2017. Now, in 2025, we have a brand new collection of Bubsy’s original run of games before his near two-decade long catnap.

Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 costs $70
Posted on 4 days ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Nintendo has revealed the price for the just-announced Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2, and it turns out it’ll be quite a bit of cash. Fans will need to dole out $70 for the collection.
This is a bit surprising given what we saw with Super Mario 3D All-Stars. That package launched at $60, and included three games. You can argue that we’re now getting two Wii games instead of one, but it’s a tough sell.
