Few sequels feel as miraculous, unexpected and downright delightful as Kirby Air Riders. Reviving a niche GameCube classic and transforming it into a fully fledged Switch 2 powerhouse, Nintendo and HAL have delivered something rare: a bold, wildly creative action-racer that not only honours its cult predecessor but completely redefines what a Kirby racing game…

Persona 3 is consistently ranked among the best JRPGs ever made. Reviewing the game on the PS5 last year, the unsettling themes and incredible gameplay still ring through my head whenever I talk about it. Now this beautifully made remaster is being released on the Nintendo Switch 2, so you can take it on the…

When Donkey Kong Bananza first launched, its energetic platforming and creative mechanics instantly cemented it as one of Nintendo’s best new-era titles. With the release of its DK Island and Emerald Rush DLC, the developers clearly wanted to offer both a heartfelt nod to the past and something fresh for players who can’t get enough…

If there’s one thing Two Point Studios has mastered, it’s turning mundane institutions into gloriously chaotic management sims. From hospitals to universities, they’ve built worlds where humour meets spreadsheets, and stress is strangely fun. Two Point Museum continues this trend, letting players build, expand, and profit from their own museums. It’s packed with wit, charm,…

It’s been 29 years since Pokémon invaded our Game Boy consoles way back in 1998. For the majority of that time, the game has retained the tried-and-true formula that has made it a worldwide phenomenon and a billion-dollar franchise. The gameplay has retained the turn-style battles with subtle variations and improvements made as each generation…

Kirby Air Riders is shaping up to be one of the biggest racing games of the year. The long-awaited sequel races straight onto the Nintendo Switch 2 next month, so Nintendo dedicated another hour-long direct to give us MORE details on what is shaping up to be the best racing game of 2025 (and potentially…

Yes! It exists, and you can play it! Originally set for release on October 3rd, Gearbox Software announced that the game was delayed indefinitely and all pre-orders were able to be refunded. It wasn’t looking good for the future of this highly anticipated game on the Nintendo Switch 2 console. Surprisingly, tucked away in the…

Nintendo’s September Direct came loaded with surprises — from long-awaited Switch 2 titles and a celebration of Super Mario Bros.’ upcoming 40th anniversary, to long-rumoured sequels finally stepping into the spotlight. Highlights included the return of both Super Mario Galaxy games on Switch 2, the reveal of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (set for April…

Kirby is no stranger to reinvention. For over three decades, Nintendo’s pink hero has shape-shifted through 2D platformers, spin-offs, party games, and even pinball. Yet 2022’s Kirby and the Forgotten Land felt like a genuine breakthrough the moment when HAL Laboratory finally committed to a fully 3D Kirby adventure, blending classic charm with bold new…

Nintendo has officially unveiled Kirby Air Riders , the long-awaited follow-up to 2004’s Kirby Air Ride, and it looks like we are in for a treat. Revealed during yesterday’s Kirby Air Riders Direct, legendary director Masahiro Sakurai walked through the game’s new features, returning favourites, and expanded modes. The game launches exclusively on Nintendo Switch 2…

Nintendo has a long history of taking sports games in unexpected directions. They turned tennis into a Mushroom Kingdom showdown, turned kart racing into an all-out weaponised brawl, and made golf somehow involve chain chomps. Now, with Drag X Drive, they’ve taken one of the most technical, fast-paced adaptive sports — wheelchair basketball — and…

When Super Mario Party Jamboree launched on the original Switch, it genuinely surprised me. What looked like another family-friendly board game romp turned out to be one of the most fun and fully-realised party games Nintendo has ever made. Fast-forward to its new incarnation on the Switch 2, bundled with the shiny new Jamboree TV…

Nothing could have prepared me for the full weight of Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster on Nintendo Switch 2. I knew going in that it was an enhanced re-release of a cult-favourite Square Enix RPG originally on the 3DS. I knew there would be tactical turn-based battles, branching strategies, and a Job system built…

Can you believe that Donkey Kong Banaza is only the second 3D Donkey Kong game ever and the first one in 25 years, since Donkey Kong 64? While you let that sink in, it’s also worth taking the time to consider what incredible weight such a sequel or follow-up would even bring with it in…

I must say, the Nintendo Switch got it right with the original Pro Controller. Maybe it was the uncomfortable Joy-Cons, which were way too small, but after begging for an alternative, the Pro Controller brought the goods. The Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller feels like Nintendo understood what we were already happy with. With a…

It’s hard to believe the original Nintendo Switch was released back in 2017. It’s a true testament to that console that it lasted this long and remained popular practically until the release of the Nintendo Switch 2. That being said, this new console, while pushing the platform forward in terms of its outright grunt, also…

In one of the more interesting reviews I’ve had to write in a while, Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour serves as an introductory guide to using and learning about your brand-new console. In certain ways, Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour does its job well. Through a series of mini-games and quizzes, you not only learn about…

Can you believe it’s been over a decade since we’ve had a new Mario Kart game? But along with the Nintendo Switch 2, here we are. In many ways, Mario Kart World is an awesome follow-up to an almost perfect kart-racer that has stood the test of time. On the fresh hardware, it looks fantastic…

Nintendo revealed all the details of their upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 console in a direct that went live at midnight. The one-hour direct showcase dived deep into the console specs while also giving us a release date, pricing, and a slew of third-party support and first-party games, including the new Mario Kart and an open-world…

The Nintendo Switch 2 was revealed only a few days ago, and while it was nice to see that this thing exists in the flesh, we have plenty of questions. The introductory trailer only highlighted a few things about its design like the new stand, larger screen and updated Joy-Cons. While a mix of rumours…

It might have felt like the world’s worst-kept secret for a second there, but Ninetdno has officially come out and announced its next console, the Nintendo Switch 2.
