System: Switch (reviewed) / Switch 2
Release date: June 5, 2025
Developer: Marvelous
Publisher: Marvelous

And as is tradition in the Rune Factory series, an amnesiac hero shows up right on cue. But this time, their role is more than just farmhand-turned-savior – they’re the Earth Dancer, a chosen conduit of divine power, tasked with uncovering the truth behind the dying gods of the land.

If you’re wondering why Pikmin can be seen at Super Nintendo World, there’s a deliberate reason for that. Shigeru Miyamoto – the creator of various Nintendo franchises like Mario and The Legend of Zelda – says that the company’s characters are meant to “only exist within the IPs they are a part of”.
