Switch 2 Mario Kart Donkey Kong

If you checked out the just-released announcement trailer for Nintendo Switch 2, you may have noticed something interesting about the Mario Kart game shown: there’s an updated design for Donkey Kong, and it seems pretty similar to his look in The Super Mario Bros. Movie.

Freedom Wars Remastered review

System: Switch
Release date: January 10, 2025

Despite the overwhelming and uncontested success of the Nintendo 3DS, I have always felt as though Sony gave up on the PlayStation Vita far too soon, and Freedom Wars is a fine illustration of this point. Originally released in 2014, the game went on to become one of the most successful first-party published titles for the system in Japan and easily filled the void left by the departure of Capcom’s Monster Hunter franchise to Nintendo systems. With its post-apocalyptic dystopian setting, more detailed narrative, and varied mission structure that went beyond simply hunting large single targets over and over again, it felt like the next step for hunting-style action RPGs, limited only by its chosen platform. Playing through the game again over a decade later, Freedom Wars Remastered holds up surprisingly well.

GungHo Online Entertainment just set a release date for Lunar Remastered Collection. The package is confirmed to launch for Nintendo Switch on April 18, 2025.

GungHo previously announced Lunar Remastered Collection last year. We initially had a Spring 2025 launch window.

Splatoon 3 Frosty Fest 2025 Splatfest results

Following the latest Splatoon 3 Splatfest this weekend – specifically for Frosty Fest 2025 – we’ve now got the results. The theme this time around was about what makes players the happiest, and the options were money, experiences, and presents.

Based on the halftime results, it was looking like things were the closest they’ve ever been in terms of clout. Team Money had the slightest of edges with 33.56 percent, followed by Team Presents with 33.51 percent, and even Team Experiences was not far behind at all with 32.93 percent.
