Seriously, this one looks cool.
Devolver Digital has confirmed that Skate Story will launch on the Switch 2 on 8th December 2025, and the latest trailer is looking seriously cool.
Created by solo dev Sam Eng, Skate Story is a psychedelic adventure in which you take on the form of a demon made of “glass and pain”. It’s your job to hone your skills and skate through nine layers of the Underworld to become a serious hardened skater.

Fruit of the Luma.
The latest Japanese charts are in, courtesy of Famitsu, and it has been another big week for new releases.
Switch newbie Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 has got off to a reasonable start, shifting 48,265 copies in its first week and landing itself in second place. It’s quite the hop, skip and a jump away from Sucker Punch Productions’ latest, mind you, with Ghost of Yotei comfortably taking the top spot with 120,196 units under its debut belt.

Full credit to whoever discovered it.
Yes, as we all know, Nintendo does like to hide fun little secrets and easter eggs within its adventures, especially when it comes to stuff like the Mario Galaxy games.
You know, things like the part of Buoy Base Galaxy that looks like a Poké Ball, or Captain Olimar’s S.S. Dolphin floating about in the Space Junk Galaxy. Yes, we love some clever little nods and winks.

A patch has also supposedly been released.
Pokémon Legends: Z-A for Switch and Switch 2 launches next week on 16th October 2025, and ahead of this highly anticipated release, there’s been a few developments…
Firstly, if you’ve purchased a digital copy of the title from the eShop, the preload should now (or at least soon) be showing up on your system’s HOME Menu. As a reminder, the Switch version of this game can also be redeemed with a game voucher in select regions. And Nintendo will be offering a paid Switch 2 upgrade for the original release as well.

Let’s split.
A short while back, I looked at the Hautepad X, Cosmox Gaming’s premium arcade controller that boasts modular components for a highly customisable experience – with an equally high price to boot.
For those who might not be on board with such an ambitious product but still want to see why Cosmox has been garnering praise in the fighting game community, the C16 and C16-S might be more up your alley.

It takes two (consoles).
When the original Little Nightmares was released in 2017, it won praise for its fresh take on puzzle platforming horror. Its sequel upped the scare factor even further, earning critical acclaim while deepening the series’ mythos. With a new developer at the helm of its threequel, the question on everyone’s minds is whether the franchise’s third outing sticks the landing.
The answer is, ‘Yeah, sort of…’ but with some major caveats. Little Nightmares III is essentially a soft reboot for the series with an all-new storyline and lead protagonists, yet it faithfully adheres to the well-trodden gameplay formula and level design of Tarsier Studios’ earlier entries, resulting in an experience that leans perhaps too much into reiteration rather than reinvention.

Fly away on my zephyr?
Trinket Studios (Battle Chef Brigade) and Outersloth revealed their brand new and rather tasty-looking card-battler, Battle Suit Aces, a little while back, and it’s out right this very moment on the Nintendo Switch Entertainment System.
Now, if you’re feeling in any way like this particular writer, you may have just thought, ‘No, no more card-battling games – I reckon I’m all good for now, folks.’ But judging from what we’ve seen of this one, it may well be worth your time, especially if you’re into Persona-styled storylines threaded throughout battles that feature things like massive robots and gigantic monsters. Y’know, all the best things.

Starseekers Unite!
We’ve already had a very brief glimpse of System Era Softworks and Devolver Digital’s rather excellent-looking Starseeker Astroneer Expeditions during the Switch 2 Direct six months back, and now the game has gone and got itself a great big 17-minute gameplay reveal, so we can get a proper look at exactly what it entails.
You can check out the reveal video in full above, and following on from our initial excitement at what we gleaned from our first glance back in April (no thanks to livestream hiccups), this in-depth peek shows off a multiplayer space adventure that’s got real promise.
