Kirby Air Riders director Masahiro Sakurai closed out the game’s second Direct presentation today with a few general comments, including confirmation that he’s not planning DLC.
There’s always the chance that things could change in the future. However, at least right now, don’t expect DLC for Kirby Air Riders. Sakurai also said that he’s “not planning on making this an ongoing series.” It sounds like he went all out in making the Nintendo Switch 2 title.

Posted on 2 weeks ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
A new detail has been revealed about what could have been for Metroid Prime Remastered, which is that the game came close to having new cutscenes.
This was something that Retro Studios actually wanted to pursue for the Nintendo Switch release. However, Nintendo ultimately vetoed the idea. Kensuke Tanabe, the game’s producer, explained that “the cutscenes were not created solely for dramatic effect; they also played a role in conveying gameplay-relevant information to the player.”

Metroid Prime ended up as one of the most acclaimed Nintendo games of all time, but the path getting there was far from easy. Series producer Kensuke Tanabe recently opened up about the game’s development and working with Retro Studios in the upcoming Metroid Prime 1-3: A Visual Retrospective book.
As we’ve previously heard, Retro Studios was initially working on several games that were mostly scrapped. The company shifted all of its focus into creating a Metroid game following a visit from Shigeru Miyamoto.

Persona 3 Reload review for Nintendo Switch 2
Posted on 2 weeks ago by Ethan in Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
System: Switch 2
Release date: October 23, 2025
Developer: Atlus
Publisher: Atlus
The Persona series has had something of a resurgence on Nintendo consoles in recent years. In 2022, Persona 5 Royal released on Nintendo Switch, and it was eventually followed by Persona 3 Portable and Persona 4 Golden in early 2023. Several years later, Atlus has now brought Persona 3 Reload to Nintendo Switch 2. It’s a full remake of the original Persona 3 with graphics, audio, and gameplay more in line with Persona 5. It’s also absolutely excellent – as you might expect, it’s very slightly compromised on Nintendo Switch 2, but it remains perfectly playable and a fantastic JRPG nonetheless.
