“They were very courteous”.

Earlier this week, we got the news that Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars was being ‘reforged’ once again, into a new Switch 2 Edition this time.

Huzzah, we thought, as we pondered who would be the best person to talk to about the 1996 point-and-click adventure making its way to Nintendo’s latest hybrid. The answer, of course, is Charles Cecil MBE, the co-founder of Revolution Software, and someone who has worked on the series from its very inception right up to the present day.

Every game we scored 9/10 or higher, plus one personal pick.

Ahhh, the Holiday season fast approaches, and you know what that means? Sales and sales galore. Black Friday is just around the corner, so Nintendo has rightfully kicked off its big ol’ November sale over on the European eShop.

This year’s Black Friday sale — which runs until 30th November 2025 — is still stacked, but in terms of the big hitters, it’s actually a little lighter than usual, perhaps to allow the Switch 2 to shine over the season. There’s some gems in here, though, including a couple of Switch 2 exclusives.

Go on, tell us.

It’s been a huge year for Nintendo with the launch of the Switch 2 in June. Since then, it’s been one major first-party release after another, and following on from Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment earlier this month, it’s now time for some Kirby Air Riders action.

Since the reveal of this new entry, there have been all sorts of details about it shared by Nintendo and its game director Masahiro Sakurai. This includes two Nintendo Direct presentations, and more recently some Global Test Ride Demos. Now that everyone has hopefully had some time to try it out, we’re curious to know if you’ll be jumping back in for the official release later this week.

Sheik it off.

Nintendo has officially lifted the lid on the live-action looks for Zelda and Link in the upcoming Zelda movie with a trio of official photos (compared to the leaked ‘on-set’ footage that appeared online days before).

We’ve got our first look at Benjamin Evan Ainsworth’s Link and Bo Bragason’s Princess Zelda in their full Hylian garb, and while it’s far from a detailed look at either, there’s no denying that some video game inspo has gone into the design choices — who would have thought it!

Bloomin’ heck, 2026 is getting close, isn’t it?

It’s a good job, then, that Nintendo has launched not one, but two 2026 calendars for your perusal over on the My Nintendo Store. Both cost 400 platinum points, but one of them is limited to those with a paid Nintendo Switch Online membership.

So the devs used gyro, instead.

Capcom is going all-out to promote Resident Evil Requiem on the Switch 2 ahead of its launch on 27th February 2026, including offering up a limited edition Pro Controller and a Grace Ashcroft amiibo figure.

In speaking with Press Start Australia, producer Masato Kumazawa shared more details on the game’s development, and it turns out that the team “tried really hard” to implement the Switch 2’s mouse controls into Requiem, but ultimately decided against it when it became apparent that mouse controls “confused and convoluted the gameplay”:

Every Zelda game, ranked.

Surprise and Deee-Lite.

If you want to really understand (or remember) what TV looked like before the internet, Blippo+ is just the ticket.

This unique little time capsule launched on Panic’s Playdate in May and landed on Switch and PC in September. Now in full colour, this remarkable collaboration between the band Yacht, Telefantasy Studios, developer Noble Robot, and Panic itself teleports you back to a time when television was an appointment pastime and we viewed the world in fuzzy 4:3.
