Ganon fire.
I’ve seen lots of games try to emulate top-down Zelda over the years; some to great success and others, well… not so much. Minishoot’ Adventures – NIntendo Switch 2 Edition falls into the first camp, and although it’s not as grand in scale as your average Hyrulian quest these days, it nevertheless nails the feel of a great Zelda.
The twist here is that Minishoot’ Adventures combines twin-stick shooting mechanics with more traditional Zelda tropes. You’ve got a wide open space in which to explore various areas, plus a load of interesting dungeons to pillage, keys to uncover, hearts pieces to boost your health, and enemies to vanquish. When you do run into some bad guys, you’re treated to short bursts of bullet-hell mayhem, either via organic encounters or specific combat segments in which you fend off waves of enemies.

“It’s been an honor voicing Mega Man in Mega Man 11”.
After what’s felt like a lifetime, Capcom finally confirmed Mega Man: Dual Override, the latest entry in the iconic side-scrolling action series. Scheduled to launch on Switch and Switch 2 in 2027, there’s not a whole lot we know about the game at this early stage, but what we do now know is that Mega Man 11 voice actor Ben Diskin won’t be returning to voice the Blue Bomber.
Speaking in a thread on Bluesky, Diskin confirmed that he was asked to come back for the upcoming title, but Capcom was unwilling to provide a union contract. Despite offering assurances that Diskin’s voice wouldn’t be for AI development in the future, Diskin felt that due to the volatile state of the industry right now, he couldn’t take the risk.

Who wants more MAR10 news, specifically more Lego news? Nintendo and Lego have announced that we’re getting some brand new Mario sets in 2027.

Today’s overview trailer for the catchily-titled Super Mario Bros. Wonder – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Meetup In Bellabel Park gave us a closer look at all of the newbies coming to the base game, but while our eyes were distracted by new game modes, characters, and boss fights, we almost missed a crossover cameo hiding in the background.
Yes, on closer inspection, the trailer is home to two Glow Pikmin, from the wonderful Pikmin 4. You’ll find them right around the 3:17 mark in the trailer above, chilling in the background of Light Switch Mansion while Rosalina gears up for some platforming.

“I’m ready for my close-up”.
Though survival horror games like Resident Evil and Silent Hill have always taken up most of the spotlight for the genre, lesser known franchises such as Fatal Frame have quietly provided some excellent horror experiences for those willing to go a bit off the beaten path. Fatal Frame traces its roots back to the PlayStation 2 and while it’s been over a decade since the last new release (on Wii U, of all things…), Koei Tecmo has been getting its feet wet in recent times by experimenting with some ways to bring back the old titles for modern platforms.
The most recent of these is Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake, a reimagining of the most popular entry in the series that brings it more in line with modern survival horror standards. It’s not perfect, but there’s a lot to love about this one and it feels like a definite improvement over the original.
