TalkBack / Pokemon Pokopia Sells 2.2 Million Copies In Opening Weekend, 1 Million In Japan Alone
« on: March 11, 2026, 04:19:43 PM »

When was the last time a Japan debut got into the two comma club?

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/74723/pokemon-pokopia-sells-22-million-copies-in-opening-weekend-1-million-in-japan-alone

Turns out a lot of people feel the need to be a Ditto, if the opening weekend of sales for Pokemon Pokopia are any indication.

Nintendo has issued a release on their corporate page confirming that the world re-builder has sold 2.2m worldwide, a million of which were just in Nintendo's home market of Japan.

It appears this may have been an undershipment especially in North America, as boxed key cards of the game have been sold out at multiple retailers.

TalkBack / Yoshi Opens The Mysterious Book May 21
« on: March 10, 2026, 06:30:22 AM »

Let's see how long it takes to complete the Prof. Yoshi Challenge.

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/74720/yoshi-opens-the-mysterious-book-may-21

MAR10 means Mario announcements, or in one case Mario-adjacent.

Nintendo have given a release date for Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, the Switch 2-exclusive platformer announced in last September's Direct: the latest Yoshi platformer will launch on May 21. A new trailer explains the concept behind the game with some new gameplay footage.

An overview trailer has also been released for the Switch 2 Edition of Super Mario Bros. Wonder (March 26):

I still enjoy this job even after 11 years, which is much more than I can say for my offline job.

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/74719/nintendo-downloads-march-12-2026

On this week which marks the start of my 11th year writing news for Nintendo World Report, the Switch 2 is certainly bringing the big guns with Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection (Neal's review), the remake of Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly, and the opposite of heat, WWE 2k26. I'm actually kind of surprised that Stores came in at a T rating, given that this is a series that refers to "monsties" on a fairly regular basis, but we may find out more on Friday.

For the OG Switch, a game originally dated for June 2024 finally lands this week in Bubblegum Galaxy, and an intriguing looking game called Bean Beasts.

THINGS WE MISSED LAST WEEK: A whole-hog Indie World which in addition to the shadowdrops we mentioned on the day in question there was also the oddly-titled Ooo (there's supposed to be an umlaut over the capital O). The Archives dropped an Arcade game in 1987 Taito game Plump Pop and on the console side, a probably-untranslated-knowing-Hamster version of Nobunaga's Ambition. Or as I and a lot of other people spelled it then, "Nobunga's Ambition".

TalkBack / Mario vs Donkey Kong, Pair Of Virtual Boy Games Headline Nintendo Classics Update March 10
« on: March 03, 2026, 03:21:37 PM »

As far as MAR10 updates go, this is one of them.

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/74625/mario-vs-donkey-kong-pair-of-virtual-boy-games-headline-nintendo-classics-update-march-10

With next week being MAR10 (Mario Day), a Nintendo Classics update for Expansion Pack holders announced tonight will bring a classic Mario platformer and a couple of "classics" next week.

  • Mario vs Donkey Kong (2004) is a puzzle platformer which serves as a follow-up to the 1994 Game Boy game simply known as Donkey Kong. It features Mario attempting to rescue miniature Marios from Donkey Kong by finding keys in levels. It was released as part of the 3DS Ambassador Program, on the Wii U Virtual Console in 2017, and was remade for Switch in 2024.
  • Mario's Tennis (1995) was the original pack-in for the Virtual Boy in North America, and the first Mario branded sports title.
  • Mario Clash (1995) was a 3D reimagining of the original Mario Bros (non-Super) arcade game that unlike its predecessor, had an ending.

Hey Strong Bad, how do you bluff with boxing gloves on? DELETED

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/74594/nintendo-downloads-march-5-2026

Especially after last week's reveal of Rotom's DJ and the reveal of high reviews due to slamming the Kanto button for about the twenty trillionth time, the big game of the week is of course Pokemon Pokopia. However, as someone who was already wary about a crafting game and immediately turned off by another round of Rediscover Kanto, I'm going to show my love to the Canadian content in Scott Pilgrim EX as the Switch 2 game of the week.

The original Switch's anniversary (happy 9th) is met with a Scott Pilgrim, a Last Ninja compilation, and for some reason... a Switch version of bloody POKER NIGHT AT THE INVENTORY, the only poker game to feature references to The Rain-Slicked Precipice of Darkness.

THINGS WE MISSED LAST WEEK: Balatro got a Switch 2 release, and I have to emphasize that this is not a Switch 2 EDITION since it starts a new save. However, you do get it no cost in compensation.

IS THE EGGCONSOLE GAME PLAYABLE IN ENGLISH: I'll defer to the eShop description that says "absolutely not" by way of "all text in the game is in Japanese".

TalkBack / First Easily Available Pokemon Go Mewtwo In Four Years Headlines Other Pokemon Presents Announcements
« on: February 27, 2026, 05:23:50 AM »

A nice little preview of the eventual Super Mega Raids for Mewtwo this summer.

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/74525/first-easily-available-pokemon-go-mewtwo-in-four-years-headlines-other-pokemon-presents-announcements

Other items from the Pokemon Presents:

  • The 30th anniversary of Pokemon will be celebrated in Pokemon Go with a new 30th Anniversary Event which will feature all of the 151 Pokemon barring Mewtwo and Mew (and regionally-locked Pokemon like Kangaskhan and Tauros remaining so) in the wild, and an "All Out" event from March 7 - 9 which will expand the pool to every possible wild spawn in the game's history. A Go (battle) pass will be available with a Mewtwo encounter on the free track, the first time #150 has been available to all since June 2022.
  • A 30th anniversary celebration mission was confirmed for Pokemon TCG Pocket, which will include 360 pack hourglasses (or 30 pulls) plus packs from recent expansions and decorative gifts.
  • The paper Pokemon TCG will have a 30th anniversary set in 2026 that unlike prior sets will be released simultaneously worldwide.
  • Pokemon Center stores for most of the world (not Germany or the ANZAC countries) will begin selling a Game Boy Jukebox today: the device will come with 45 interchangable cartridges that play different songs from Pokemon Red and Blue.
  • Despite suggestions to the contrary, the 2026 Pokemon World Championships and accompanying Pokemon XP festival will remain in San Francisco, with Sunday events held at the Chase Center (home of the Golden State Warriors of the NBA).
  • Pokemon Masters EX showed three new trainers: "1996 Red" and versions of the Scarlet and Violet protagonists with DLC stars Ogerpon (with Florian / male) and Terapagos (with Juliana / female).
  • Pokemon Cafe Remix will feature starter Pokemon with anniversary outfits.
  • Missions for Mew in Pokemon Sleep will be available tonight.
  • In addition to the Kanto legendary birds in Pokemon Unite, the final evolutions of the Gold and Silver starters (Meganium, Typhlosion, Feraligatr) will join later in the year.

TalkBack / Two New Characters Announced For Pokemon Pokopia
« on: February 27, 2026, 05:17:51 AM »

Sadly, the lack of a "Sound" type means we probably won't see one for real.

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/74526/two-new-characters-announced-for-pokemon-pokopia

In addition to Professor Tangrowth, other odd versions of Pokemon will be available in Pokemon Pokopia next week.

DJ Rotom and Chef Dente- a Greedent - were shown in today's trailer. The former will play Pokemon music CDs that can be discovered in the environment while the latter helps with cooking food for giving to Pokemon or buffing the player Ditto's stats.

Multiplayer was also shown, including the ability for parties to build massive structures.

TalkBack / New Mystery Gift Mission Announced For Pokemon Legends: Z-A Mega Dimension DLC
« on: February 27, 2026, 05:04:03 AM »

Pretty sure this is the first time Mega Evolution REMOVES a type.

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/74524/new-mystery-gift-mission-announced-for-pokemon-legends-z-a-mega-dimension-dlc

A datamined event for Pokemon Legends: Z-A's Mega Dimension DLC is now available as many expected.

The Mystery Gift for those who have the DLC will unlock a special Mega Stone dimension with a battle against a Mega Garchomp Z. Defeating it will unlock the Garchompite Z for use in the game.

Mega Garchomp Z has a different stat distribution than a normal Mega Garchomp, but the new form also removes Garchomp's signature Ground typing - leaving it as a mono-Dragon type.

TalkBack / Pokemon Fire Red And Leaf Green To Have Pokemon Home Support
« on: February 27, 2026, 04:53:25 AM »

So you can take something from 2004 and use in a battle game in 2026.

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/74523/pokemon-fire-red-and-leaf-green-to-have-pokemon-home-support

It's Pikachu's 30th anniversary and the newly launched re-releases will not just live on in their own game.

Today's release of Pokemon Fire Red and Leaf Green was mentioned in the Pokemon Presents alongside confirmation that the games will receive transfer support for Pokemon Home at a later date. The original eShop description mentioned home support before the reference was removed about four hours later.

This means it will be possible to bring a Pokemon from Fire Red and Leaf Green into Scarlet / Violet, Legends: Z-A, and even use it in Pokemon Champions when it launches on Switch in April and mobile later in 2026.

TalkBack / Nintendo Classics GameCube To Get Pokemon XD In March
« on: February 27, 2026, 04:43:17 AM »

No mention of Colosseum, and we checked, it didn't shadowdrop.

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/74522/nintendo-classics-gamecube-to-get-pokemon-xd-in-march

We have a window for half of the Shadow Pokemon series for the GameCube Nintendo Classics, but probably not the one you thought.

A trailer for Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness (2005) was shown during the Pokemon Presents today with an announcement of a March release window. It covered most of the plot as well as the battle with box mascot "XD001" Lugia.

XD was announced for addition into the GameCube library alongside its predecessor, Pokemon Colosseum, in the Switch 2 unveil Direct last April: no details were given on a potential Colosseum window.

TalkBack / Pokemon Winds And Waves Announced For 2027 Release
« on: February 27, 2026, 04:34:30 AM »

Also who let Liam into the future?

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/74521/pokemon-winds-and-waves-announced-for-2027-release

Pokemon's tenth generation will kick off in 2027.

The final announcement of the Pokemon Presents was Pokemon Winds and Waves, the series's first Switch 2-exclusive entries due for release in 2027.

The first three partner Pokemon were revealed as the Grass-typed Browt, the Fire-typed Pombom, and the Water-typed Geqcua. A host of returning Pokemon, with a heavy focus on Water and Flying types including prominent appearances from the Wailord family, were also shown.

TalkBack / A Wild Bingo Appeared: Predictions For The Pokemon Presents
« on: February 24, 2026, 02:54:40 PM »

Sadly, the free space is free for a reason.

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/feature/74517/a-wild-bingo-appeared-predictions-for-the-pokemon-presents

One of my usual social media traditions is whenever a Direct, Partner Showcase, or Pokemon Presents is announced is to do a very quick spreadsheet Bingo card of predictions since I suck at GIMP. Of course, this usually ends badly: I think I’ve gotten a bingo (full line) once, and had to basically force it in the general Direct last September.

Given that this is a 30th anniversary presentation, I figured this would be the first time I break down my proposed squares for the Pokemon Presents bingo. Then Fire Red and Leaf Green dropped, and I had to chuck about 30% of the card, but I think I finally figured out what Big Pikachu is going to drop Friday. Let’s see how badly this goes.

Blastoise

Champions out that day, or within a month

Pokemon Champions is the official game of the 2026 video game World Championships, which are currently scheduled for August 28 - 30 with a major international tournament June 12 - 14. Realistically, it’s probably going to take a few months for the competitors in Worlds to prep their teams, so a release six months before Worlds would give them enough time to pound on it.

Pokemon Tales: Sirfetch’d and Pichu update

This is the stop motion animated series from Aardman (Wallace and Gromit, Shaun the Sheep) that was announced in the previous Pokemon Presents last July. It was given a 2027 release date, but I’m expecting to find out the distribution method here.

New spinoff Switch (2) game

Pokemon Pokopia (which launches next week) isn’t what I’m referring to here, I mean something else. Maybe a Mystery Dungeon: Explorers re-release, maybe a new racing game to finally wash the taste of Dash out of our mouths, or maybe they’re not cowards and do Pokemon Conquest 2.

Z-A: New EX mission for an unreleased Mega Stone

There were three “Z Mega Stones” included in the Mega Dimension DLC: Lucario’s, one that I think is still in the spoiler window despite being the DLC’s first major boss… and one that we haven’t seen except for datamining. Look for that last one to be available that day.

Go: “Season Event” Mar 7 - 9 detailed

We got details on the next in-game season (running quarterly) for Pokemon Go earlier today, and the event schedule for March has launched with nothing identified until March 17. When they put the event schedule for the season out, there was a “Season Event” on March 7 - 9 before every ensuing event runs on Saturday. As of now we know NOTHING about that weekend following a major event, and I for one would like to know if I need to call in sick on the 9th.

Inteleon

Pokemon Horizons plug

The latest season of the anime has already started on Netflix, but perhaps we get localized titles for the final episodes of the season.

Colosseum and XD either dropped or dated

The other major announcement that I wish ruined scalper’s lives from the April 2 Nintendo Classics: GameCube reveal after Fire Emblem was the Shadow Pokemon duology. Ideally, this is Colosseum that day and XD sometime in April, before they have to give us the ability to uninstall GameCube games with Mario Sunshine in the summer.

TCG: Next major set

We’re currently working through the Rising Heroes set in the “children’s” card game, so we’ll see what follows the last round of that.

Sleep: Special event beyond Pokemon Day

And maybe this time, we get Komala in the game. Also, could they restock the Go++ sleep tracker or is that a victim of tariffs?

Cafe Remix: Celebratory Pikachu

Probably in a special apron. It’s a reminder that there will be some acknowledgement of the mobile/Switch apps before we get to the fireworks factory.

Nuzleaf

Masters EX: Celebratory Red alt

With a Mega Charizard, because it broke 10,000 Paras and never drew a dime.

Go: Global Kalos Tour plug

It literally starts the next day, or in a few hours for the location spoofers. I do wonder if there’ll be some sort of timed research ensuing, maybe something involving everyone’s favorite green noodle of the sky since we kind of need him that weekend.

People Complain

Free space. They could announce re-releases of every game through Black and White 2 for free with Fire Red / Leaf Green purchase and the death penalty for TCG scalpers and maybe a free Rapidash for all and it's still valid.

Home: Z-A Compatibility Update

A date and possibly what new shiny Pokemon I’ll unlock for having gone out of my way to prep full living Pokedexes on the Switch 2 for temporary upload. (Off-board predictions: Diancie for the main game Pokedex, Hoopa for the DLC one).

Switch’s Missing 6 Pokemon Permanently Available

This refers to Celebi, Deoxys, Victini, Zarude, Walking Wake, and Iron Leaves. The last two introduced in Scarlet/Violet will likely be permanently available in Tera raids following the end of the current starter Pokemon reruns, while Victini and Zarude seem destined to join their mythical brethren in Z-A missions. As for Celebi and Deoxys… more on them in a bit.

Greninja

2026 World Champions moved out of San Francisco

They announced at the 2024 Worlds that the next two events would be in California, but that was before *gestures wildly* happened. There were entire teams of competitors who were denied entry into the US last year, and unless McDonalds stops beating the allegations real quick that’s probably going to happen again this year. As such, I think TPC will shift the Worlds to… as much as I wish it could be Halifax, it’s either going to be somewhere in Japan or somewhere on the Iberian Peninsula (where the Paldea region of Scarlet and Violet is based on) in the same way London got the Worlds in 2022.

PokePark Kanto plug

The uber-popular Japanese amusement park will still need a lottery to get into, sadly.

Old movies available for purchase

Currently the only way to see the old movies based on the Pokemon anime is via streaming, I think there’ll be a deal done with one of the online video stores to make them available for purchase.

Unite: Brand new Pokemon

The MOBA has started dropping the bird trio of Kanto, but I think we’ll see something beyond that (probably their April drop).

Fire Red / Leaf Green include event tickets

You might recall the 3DS Virtual Console version of Pokemon Crystal included an unlock in the postgame of the previously Japanese-phone-only Celebi event. Fire Red and Leaf Green actually have two items - the “Mystic Ticket” and “Aurora Ticket” that unlock islands which respectively hold Lugia + Ho-oh and Deoxys. Pair that with the removal of Home support from the eShop description about four hours after it went live for announcement later… and that’s how we’ll get Deoxys on Switch. (And perhaps a Crystal re-release that also has the Celebi event.)

Octillery

Chicago Museum plug

The “Pokemon Fossil Museum” will be making a stop in Chicago starting in May (right before the 10th anniversary Pokemon Go Fest in the same city) and we’ll see a reminder.

New Pokemon animated series

As mentioned, Pokemon Horizons is coming to the end of its run, so we’ll likely see what replaces it based on the main event of the presentation.

TCG Pocket: Lots of free packs

That’s basically what they did last year, and the newest expansion for the game will be out about 36 hours before the Presents so it’s not like they would want to talk about what’s coming in March. Instead, they’ll throw some packs at us - probably from the October “Mega Rising” set as much as I need it to be from the recent “Fantastical Parade”.

Pokemon Friends: New puzzles

The answer to the trivia question of “what was Nintendo’s first Switch game after Switch 2 launch” will see some new content briefly.

Generation 10 unveiled

We’ll get a name, possibly the starters, and find out once and for all if this is going to be cross-platform by necessity or not.

TalkBack / Treehouse Live For March Switch 2 Launches To Air Tomorrow
« on: February 23, 2026, 04:25:00 AM »

That's Pokopia and The Talking Flower's Revenge, for those of you scoring at home (congratulations).

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/74514/treehouse-live-for-march-switch-2-launches-to-air-tomorrow

Nintendo will be live tomorrow with a preview of their games for March.

A Treehouse Live will air tomorrow on Nintendo's video channels starting at 5 p.m. ET, 2 p.m. PT, and 6:30 in Newfoundland. The subject will be Pokemon Pokopia and the Switch 2 edition of Super Mario Bros. Wonder focusing on the Meetup in Bellabel Park content.

Pokopia launches on March 5, and Wonder + Meetup in Bellabel Park follows on the 26th.

TalkBack / Nintendo Downloads - February 26, 2026
« on: February 23, 2026, 03:00:00 AM »

This week features more footnotes than any Downloads article, AND a series of games developed by Shinji Mikami during his time at Capcom.

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/74460/nintendo-downloads-february-26-2026

In a week bursting with potential above-the-fold titles, it takes a lot to stand out. Like something that should have been on the Switch at launch but finally comes to it (and its successor) nearly nine years later, bringing a couple of extra games along for the ride including the legendary and elusive Goof Troop: the Disney Afternoon Collection. Yes, we're actually acknowledging the mouse. I'm shocked too.

Switch 2's major drop this week is of course Resident Evil: Requiem - though the Switch 2 also includes both RE7 and RE: Village (now with portable stepping from Lady Dimitrescu) - and if you're looking to get all three, the individual price of all three games can basically be knocked down by $50 if you want to go for a bundle and your Switch 2 can take that hit to your storage.

For the OG Switch, the games that made me chuck an entire column and a bingo card Pokemon Fire Red / Leaf Green will arrive for the 30th anniversary at about a 85% discount compared to the average gray market price. (Remember: Leaf Green has the Water / Psychic types, but Fire Red has Wooper in the postgame. You make the call.) There's also Tales of Berseria... I don't think we can legally call it "Remastered" when the first release was a PlayStation 4 game, despite Bamco's best efforts. A new mystery localized by Aksys (Path of Mystery) and the game John would have me shot if I didn't recommend, Fur Squadron Phoenix.

THINGS WE MISSED LAST WEEK: You mean aside from a Switch 2 edition of 2015 GOTY and 2025 Best Re- Game Xenoblade Chronicles X? Well, the Archives had a 1982 water shooter Adventure Canoe for the Archives, and Dezaemon which as was pointed out on yesterday's RFN is a Japan-language only shooter maker. Yep, this is a Hamster release.

IS THE EGGCONSOLE GAME PLAYABLE IN ENGLISH? Yeah, you should be fine. Super Cooks is more of an "action" action RPG.

TalkBack / Pokemon Fire Red And Leaf Green To Release On Switch February 27, Pokemon Presents Announced
« on: February 20, 2026, 01:08:00 AM »

It's always Kanto we rediscover.

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/74432/pokemon-fire-red-and-leaf-green-to-release-on-switch-february-27-pokemon-presents-announced

As happened a decade ago, a version of the original Pokemon will launch for a new decade of Pokemon.

Switch versions of Pokemon Fire Red and Leaf Green, the 2004 Game Boy Advance versions of the original Red and Green meant to partially resolve the original Pokedex split, have appeared on the eShop with a February 27 launch date. The games will be sold separarely for US$19.99, C$29.99, €19.99, or £16.99, with each language sold separately as well.

Multiplayer functions (trading) can only be done via local wireless play, though Pokemon Home support will may be added at a later date.

The inevitable Pokemon Presents presentation was also announced for February 27 at 9 a.m. ET, 6 a.m. PT, 1500 CET, and 10:30 in Newfoundland. Perhaps as a warmup, the soundtracks for Fire Red and Leaf Green are this week's Nintendo Music release.

UPDATE 7:20 a.m. ET: The reference to Pokemon Home support has been removed from the game information.

TalkBack / Xenoblade Chronicles X Gets Surprise Switch 2 Edition Today
« on: February 19, 2026, 04:14:16 AM »

How's it popping? Pretty good, actually.

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/74429/xenoblade-chronicles-x-gets-surprise-switch-2-edition-today

Getting stuck on a whole different planet has never looked this good.

Nintendo has released a trailer confirming a Switch 2 edition for Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition, which will be available shortly digitally with a physical version to follow on April 16. The upgrade pack can be purchased for US$4.99 or equivalent.

The 12 chapter RPG's upgrade includes enhanced framerate (60 frames per second) and targets 4k docked resolution.

TalkBack / Nintendo Downloads - February 19, 2026
« on: February 16, 2026, 02:31:00 PM »

We know it's free with Expansion Pack, but a warning to potential customers not to download the Virtual Boy Nintendo Classics. It is not safe. It installs a Virtual Boy emulator on your Switch.

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/74421/nintendo-downloads-february-19-2026

Much like a meme managed to make Sony look like fools for giving Morbius a second theatrical run, a series of memes have somehow managed to revive Nintendo's biggest joke (or cause for class action lawsuits). Somehow, the Virtual Boy returned, and despite the presence of the dumb and dumber accessories, this is one Switch Online thing we can only recommend playing docked lest you end up requiring glasses like I did after I played the original. If you're looking for Switch games this week that won't kill your eyes, may we recommend the beloved PC game Caves of Qud, or the new Paranormasight game you saw in the Partner Showcase, or even the hybrid of hockey and Zelda that is Under the Island (as reviewed by Jordan).

Running it back on Switch 2 is another Direct veteran in Star Trek: Voyager - Across the Unknown (speaking of things of questionable quality that debuted in 1995, though Voyager did grow the beard eventually). Or if you prefer something else we reviewed, scope out John's Ys X: Proud Nordics review for all your ship-crashing needs.

And no, your eyes are NOT deceiving you, a free to play game got a Switch 2 edition AND an upgrade pack (as opposed to going, say, the Fortnite method). I have been advised that there is a confidential reason for this.

TalkBack / Other Switch Family Announcements From The Sony State Of Play
« on: February 12, 2026, 03:49:49 PM »

Does "more screens than the Shovel Knight Treasure Trove" sound like a threat to anyone else or is Donald just being paranoid again?

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/74306/other-switch-family-announcements-from-the-sony-state-of-play

Konami wasn't the only publisher with announcements at the Sony State of Play earlier today.

  • A surprise launch tomorrow is the Digital Eclipse-developed Rayman 30th Anniversary Collection for Switch. Five versions of the 1995 platformer will be playable in full (Atari Jaguar, PlayStation, MS-DOS, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance) as well as a prototype for a Super Nintendo version, and an hour-long documentary plus quality of life features (rewind for up to a minute, infinite lives, invincibility).
  • A "Prologue" DLC for 2024's Neva will launch on February 19.
  • Crystal Dynamics will have a pair of Legacy of Kain releases next month, with a remaster of Legacy of Kain: Defiance on March 2 and a new game called Legacy of Kain: Ascendance on the 31st. The former is a remaster of a 2003 action game that was the last release in the original series, while the latter is a side-scrolling platformer developed by Bit Boy Media (The Rocky Horror Show). Both games will be available on Switch and Switch 2.
  • The oft-delayed and possibly studio load-bearing Mina the Hollower received a new trailer and a spring release window (dates to be confirmed following the completion of console lotchecks). A demo with save carryover was released on Sony platforms, and a press release from developer Yacht Club Games claimed the game would have "more screens than the Shovel Knight Treasure Trove", a four game compilation.
  • NIS America will localize Brigandine: Abyss, the latest entry in a strategy RPG series developed by Japanese developer Happinet, sometime this year.

TalkBack / Konami Reveals Multiple Switch Family Titles Including First MGS Ghost Babel Rerelease
« on: February 12, 2026, 03:26:24 PM »

"A hind D? Private Party?"

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/74302/konami-reveals-multiple-switch-family-titles-including-first-mgs-ghost-babel-rerelease

Sony's feature-length State of Play presentation today featured Konami splashing out on Nintendo systems in a major way.

A 2nd Metal Gear Solid Master Collection will be available on both Switch 2 and Switch on August 27, with physical releases for both (Switch 2 as a Game Key Card). The collection will include the 2000 Game Boy Color Metal Gear Solid game (aka Metal Gear: Ghost Babel), as well as the first Nintendo releases for Metal Gear Solid 4 (2008, PS3) and Peace Walker (2009, PSP), plus soundtracks and "screenplay novels". A "final" update for the prior collection should now be available, offering hgiher resolution for Metal Gear Solids 1 and 3 among other updates.

As well, a new side-scrolling Castlevania title called Castlevania: Belmont's Curse will be available in 2026 for Switch. Set 23 years after the release of Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse (NES), the game is developed by Evil Empire with "advisory studio" Motion Twin (Dead Cells - which had a Castlevania DLC) also assisting.

Talking Flower: "I pride myself and think of myself as a flower of faith as there's a drive into deep left field by Pauline and that'll be a home run, and so that'll make it a 4-0 ballgame."

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/74250/nintendo-downloads-february-12-2026

For the third time in my run with NWR and the second time anyone will admit to, Camelot is not remaking Shining Force III (all of it, in English, please) for the sake of a new Mario Tennis. Sadly, the Talking Flower is on the call, but at least he's only mildly abusive to your ears as opposed to one of the actors in Yakuza KIwami 3 + Dark Tides just being abusive (caveat emptor). The Switch 2 also gets Reanimal from the original Little Nightmare devs, and Tokyo Scramble as seen in the Partner Showcase last week.

For the OG Switch we have a couple of ArcSystemWorks hits in a Switch version of Dear me, I was.... and the side-scrolling action game BlazBlue: Entropy Effect X. Also, Jeff Jarrett's Acclaim has their first Switch release in this incarnation.

THINGS WE MISSED LAST WEEK: A Direct's worth of shadowdrops including the Console Archives, the Bomberman collection, and the Switch 2 version of Hollow Knight.

IS THE EGGCONSOLE GAME PLAYABLE IN ENGLISH: An arcade shooter should be good to go.
