System: Switch
Release date: September 19, 2025
Developer: Paper Castle Games
Publisher: Fellow Traveller

What if Little Red Riding Hood’s grandmother wasn’t some frail old woman, unable to defend herself from the Big Bad Wolf? What if instead, she came with a professional wrestler’s physique and a chip on her shoulder? What if Little Red was her grandmother’s prized student, more than capable of taking down a dangerous predator? And what if their story took place not in some secluded forest, but across wide galaxy of wacky anthropomorphic characters all ready to beat the stuffing out of each other to prove who’s the strongest? Wander Stars, the new turn-based RPG from Paper Castle Games, has your answer. With an art style and narrative tone that borrows heavily from Japanese anime, Wander Stars looks to answer these questions and more in a tight and imminently replayable package.

Persona 3 Reload will be appearing on Nintendo Switch 2 later this month, but it turns out there was once consideration for a Switch 1 version as well.

According to P-Studio general producer Kazuhisa Wada, releasing the RPG on Nintendo hardware was always the goal, “but simultaneous development was inevitably difficult.” Following the announcement of Nintendo Switch 2, Atlus wanted to obtain a development kit as soon as possible and deliver on fan requests.

System: Switch 2
Release date: September 26, 2025
Developer: EA Sports
Publisher: EA Sports

As a longtime football/soccer fanatic, I’ve played a whole bunch of different video game adaptations of the sport over the years – from ill-fated attempts like Mega Man Soccer, to really fun and engaging versions of the sport like in Mario Strikers or Virtua Striker 2. These are usually exaggerated or watered down versions of the beautiful game that don’t entirely reflect the appeal or the intricacies of the sport at its core, so although they can be serious arcade-y fun, they don’t always scratch the same itch of doing a Cruyff turn and smashing the ball top bins. This is why we have had direct football simulator games, like PES and FIFA, even Football Manager to an extent, really get popular in the late 90s and early 2000s. Getting a red card from a referee in FIFA International Soccer on SEGA Genesis, and choosing to endlessly run away from the official instead of accepting your punishment and coming off the pitch is very silly and fun, but not entirely accurate to the sport itself. As the years have gone on, I’ve played almost every entry in the EA FC/FIFA series, often with my dad. Some of my earliest memories of gaming come from playing against him on the PS1 in FIFA ’99, and as the games have improved in detail and range of play modes, my fondness for the series has grown. I think the newest entry in the series, EA Sports FC 26, truly rivals the best the series has to offer in every department.

System: Switch 2, Switch (reviewed)
Release date: September 30, 2025
Developer: Square Enix
Publisher: Square Enix

It has been more than twenty-five years since Final Fantasy Tactics first landed on the original PlayStation, quietly establishing itself as one of the most influential tactical RPGs ever made. While its initial release was overshadowed by the mainstream success of Final Fantasy 7, the game steadily built a reputation as a genre-defining classic. Now Square Enix has brought it back with Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles, a rerelease that preserves the essence of the original while finally delivering content that western audiences never had access to. The timing is no accident. Tactical RPGs are enjoying renewed popularity, and Square Enix appears to recognize that players – both veterans and newcomers – are ready to experience adventure in Ivalice once more.

Everyone has a generation of Nickelodeon that they grew up on. As someone born in the late 90s, my association with the brand comes from the cartoons and shows they were airing between 2000 and 2009. Although I would catch some older Nicktoons on repeat broadcasts growing up, like Rugrats and Ah! Real Monsters, the shows I most associate with the kings of slime include SpongeBob SquarePants, Fairly OddParents, Danny Phantom, Jimmy Neutron and Avatar: The Last Airbender (The Legend of Aang back home in Ireland), which all aired their runs in that period, aside from the first two, which had incredible staying power and carried on airing for much longer. SpongeBob right now seems stronger than ever, in fact. I now think of this time as a happy childhood memory of loving Nickelodeon.
