Daemon X Machina Titanic Scion interview

After Daemon X Machina came to Nintendo Switch in 2019, the game is getting a sequel with the upcoming release of Titanic Scion. Even better, it’ll be able to take advantage of Nintendo Switch 2 this time around.

The upgrade in hardware isn’t the only change this time around. Marvelous is focusing less on mechs, mixed up the visual style, and more.

Series producer Kenichiro Tsukuda recently spoke about these changes, Nintendo Switch 2, and other topics in a wide-ranging interview with Nintendo Everything. You can find our full discussion below.

Kirby Star-Crossed World lore predictions

One of the best parts of the Kirby franchise is how flexible it is. If you so choose, you can romp right through the main campaign of whichever game you please while paying little attention to the story. For those who do want to delve into Kirby lore, though, there are plenty of tidbits to uncover here and there. Kirby and the Forgotten Land was absolutely bursting to the brim with new lore details, and you can read all about them here. Now, Kirby and the Forgotten Land is receiving a new DLC story called Star-Crossed World. As you might expect, this will probably contain at least a few new lore drops. And today, we’re here to make a few predictions about what those might be! We’ll be discussing spoilers from a few major Kirby games, so keep that in mind before you continue.

If you tuned in to this week’s Pokemon Presents event, we have a simply question – what did you think of it?

The presentation again gave Pokemon fans all of the latest news, updates, and announcements. One of the more notable segments was for Pokemon Friends, a puzzle game that was revealed and released on the same day. We also saw a new look at Pokemon Champions, which is slated for 2026. And we saw the latest footage of Pokemon Legends: Z-A, including a first look at Mega Dragonite. You can find a handy recap of everything shown here.

Let us know what you thought of the July 2025 Pokemon Presents in the comments below.

Shadow Labyrinth review

System: Switch 2 (also on Switch)
Release date: July 17, 2025
Developer: Bandai Namco
Publisher: Bandai Namco

I wish I could have been a fly on the wall during the pitch meeting for Shadow Labyrinth. Of all the ways Bandai Namco could have commemorated the 45th anniversary of Pac-Man, the idea the company landed on was to release an exploration-driven action-platformer set on a sprawling sci-fi planet. Not only that, but Bandai Namco greenlit, developed, and released a game in which the player is accompanied by a dark (possibly evil?) take on Pac-Man named Puck, who devours the souls of slain enemies to help the player level up. It’s a bonkers concept for a spin-off, and one I knew I needed to experience for myself to fully understand.

Plants vs. Zombies Reloaded

March 18: A new rating has appeared for Plants vs. Zombies Reloaded on Nintendo Switch, which is currently unannounced.

The classification was added to the official database in Brazil. Unfortunately, no description is included as part of the listing. While we basically have nothing here, we can speculate a bit.

While there’s been no official announcement, it’s claimed that SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans of the Tide will be releasing on Nintendo Switch 2.

The game itself has yet to be revealed. However, we know that it exists as it was previously rated in Germany. Interestingly, Nintendo Switch 2 was not part of that original classification, but it would make sense for THQ Nordic to bring the new SpongeBob game over to Nintendo’s latest console.

Nintendo Switch Online Playtest Program July 2025

July 19: The Nintendo Switch Online: Playtest Program is getting a second run, it’s been announced.

Those with an active membership to the service’s Expansion Pack tier, are at least 18 years old, and reside in certain territories will be eligible to join. Sign-ups start on a first-come, first-served basis on July 21 at 8 AM PT / 11 AM ET / 4 PM in the UK / 5 PM in Europe. You’ll be able to register here, though it’s not guaranteed you’ll be selected – 40,000 participants will be chosen.

Marvel Cosmic Invasion Silver Surfer, Beta Ray Bill

We’ve just heard about two new characters for the Marvel Cosmic Invasion roster, with Silver Surfer and Beta Ray Bill now confirmed. The announcement was shared at Comic-Con a short while ago.

Silver Surfer is a metallic-skinned humanoid alien who has appeared in the Fantastic Four series. Thanks to the Power Cosmic, the Surfer can stun any adversary. He can glide in the skies or close to the ground, and insectoid invaders can’t escape Galactus’ former herald.

Legend Heroes Beyond Horizon game-key card

We haven’t heard too many publishers commenting on why they’re using game-key cards on Nintendo Switch 2, but now NIS America has just done that – specifically for The Legend of Heroes: Trails Beyond the Horizon.

Many were happy to hear that the recent news that Nintendo’s new console would be getting the RPG. However, it did come with that game-key card caveat for physical collectors.

The Legend of Heroes Trails Beyond the Horizon release date

NIS America just came through with the final western release date for The Legend of Heroes: Trails beyond the Horizon in the west. On both Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch, it’s due out on January 17, 2026.

Falcom’s RPG was originally only planned as a Nintendo Switch 1 title. However, NIS America ended up delaying the overseas launch to ready a version for Nintendo Switch 2 as well.

To recap, here’s an overview of the game:
