Old friends, new arrivals, and some very cute puppies.

Although short, the Indie World revealed a lot of upcoming games across the Switch family.

As well as a couple of interesting looking demos.

Apart from Blue Prince, the eShop is picking up a few other releases today.

Try and find your way to room 46.

One of the most beloved puzzle games of last year is coming to the Switch 2 today.

The closing announcement of the Indie World presentation was a previously-unannounced Switch 2 version of Blue Prince, a first person puzzle game about trying to unlock the secrets of a mansion with more than 40 rooms, which will be available today.

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

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.

Shout out your hopes in the Discord.

We have a quick turnaround for the first post-Pokemon Presents Nintendo stream.

The first Indie World show of the year will run tomorrow at 9 a.m. EST, 6 a.m. PST, 1500 CET, and 10:30 in Newfoundland. The 15 minute show will cover games for both Switch 2 and Switch.

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

Other items from the Pokemon Presents:

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Also who let Liam into the future?

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,... Read more...

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

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.

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

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.

It's always Kanto we rediscover.

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... Read more...

How's it popping? Pretty good, actually.

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.

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.

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,... Read more...

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

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

"A hind D? Private Party?"

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... Read more...

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."

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... Read more...

Pummeling Powerful foes with a Paintbrush

Included in the Japanese version of today’s Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase it was confirmed that Constance will be coming to Nintendo Switch on May 1st, 2026. This game was released on PC at the end of 2025 and received a lot of buzz. In this gorgeous 2D metroidvania, that has often been compared... Read more...
