Bugs and UI issues also fixed.
Star Wars Outlaws is already one of the most-impressive ports on the Switch 2, and Massive Entertainment and Ubisoft are ensuring it maintains that title with today’s brand new update.
Switch 2 Title Update 2 generally focuses on graphical and visual stability along with a few bug and UI fixes. We won’t say no to that, especially just under a month since its release.

Designs will be shared when it’s finished.
As you’ll likely be aware, LEGO’s fancy Adult range of sets got itself a sweet 1:1 replica of Nintendo’s iconic Game Boy yesterday (look out for a gallery of this writer’s build shortly). However, not happy with the stunning attention to detail, dinky little game carts, and interchangeable screens that the vanilla Lego GB is rocking, one master builder has decided to bring hers to life.
In what’s got to be some sort of record for a mod turnaround, Australian Game Boy modder and self-taught circuit-board designer Natalie the Nerd has got her Lego handheld playing real GB games via real carts with nary a Raspberry Pi or other modern doodah in sight.

An all-star roster.
The beat ’em up MARVEL Cosmic Invasion is on its way to the Switch and Switch 2 this year, and earlier on it got a demo on Steam.
It allows players to jump into the action with multiple iconic heroes and try out this new title before its official launch. That’s not all, though, as there’s apparently been a datamine – seemingly revealing (spoiler alert) Iron Man and Phoenix will be playable characters. There also seems to be possible roster DLC planned.

Silks and giggles.
It’s very easy not to see the funny side of Hollow Knight: Silksong. Don’t worry, I’ve been there. Something about bashing your head against a boss for the 20th time takes away the giggles a little bit, and that’s okay. But you have to hear me out here: I haven’t laughed this much at a game in a very long time.
It tickles a very Looney Tunes-esque niche that I didn’t realise I still found so funny. There’s none of the surrealism of Thank Goodness You’re Here or the quips of Portal, but if you’re the kind of person who likes watching Wile E. Coyote finally catch Roadrunner only to immediately land a heavy anvil to the noggin, then Silksong has more than enough opportunities to laugh away the pain.

Games to play, from Z to A.
As we head into the last three months of 2025, Nintendo and co. are lining up some big names for the holiday season.
The Switch 2 version of Borderlands 4 may have been delayed, but Pokémon Legends: Z-A lands in mid-October, followed by Hyrule Warriors and Kirby Air Riders in November – and we wouldn’t be surprised if a shadow-drop or two snuck in. Elden Ring has to launch sometime, right?

The fantastic character designs of The Legend of Zelda series have always lent themselves very well to amiibo, toys, and all of that sweet merchandising action that we all seem to love very muchly. Big muchly!
Now, Bandai Candy Toy has announced a set of ten collectible, fully-licensed Legend of Zelda weapons, which we love the idea of because, hey, the weapons in these games deserve a whole lot of love too.
