Out today.

All the way back in 2017 (which, yes, is nearly a decade ago now), a curious title called Bulb Boy made its way to the Switch eShop. Available from July of the Switch’s launch year, it was one of the earliest eShop titles for the new system at the time, and now it’s finally got itself a sequel.

Bulb Boy 2: Jar of Despair is available today on the Switch eShop and promises to expand upon the original point and click experience with visuals inspired by ’90s style cartoons. While the original had a consistent green tone to the overall presentation, this one looks all the more vibrant thanks to a much wider array of colours.

Raising the spirits.

Back in 2021, you may recall the release of Ember Lab’s celebrated Kena: Bridge of Spirits on PS5 – perhaps you even played it on Sony’s consoles or PC. This lovely-looking indie adventure was snapped up by PlayStation in a timed exclusivity deal on consoles until it came to Xbox in 2024 – and it’s coming to Switch 2 “this Spring”.

The Switch 2 version will come with the Anniversary DLC and New Game+ mode included. Check out the reveal trailer above to get a better look at it.

Konami confirms.

The studios behind the upcoming release Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse have made a name for themselves with releases such as Dead Cells and The Rogue Prince of Persia, but this new title based on Konami’s famous IP won’t be the same type of game.

Speaking to The Verge, Konami’s head of communications for the Americas has reiterated this game is a “2D action-exploration” title, further stating it’s “not a roguelike or roguelite game”. Here’s the full exchange:

Well it’s about time.

Ubisoft has finally acknowledged the terminally leaked remake/remaster of Assassin’s Creed Black Flag, appropriately subtitled ‘Resynced‘.

In a franchise update, Head of Content Jean Guesdon provided news on projects Hexe and Invictus, the former being a proper narrative driven mainline entry in the series, and the latter a PvP title from the For Honor team at Ubisoft Montreal. It sounds like Hexe is still quite a way off, with the team looking to “be quiet for a while longer”.

Star power?

Though it seems Capcom only recently remembered that they can make a new Mega Man game, there was once a time where the Blue Bomber was so prevalent that many fans were suffering from some series burnout. In the span of about five years, we were getting hosed with new entries in the Classic, X, ZX, and Battle Network series, and the Mega Man Star Force series came into the picture in the middle of this period.

Performing with Grace.

Capcom has announced that Resident Evil Requiem has already sold over 5 million copies since its release on 27th February 2026 (thanks, Eurogamer). Yeah, that’s 5 million in less than a week, folks.

We’re not sure what the platform split is for this running total, but with the combined release of the standalone game and the Generation Pack bundle, we imagine the Switch 2 has seen its fair share of sales. Regardless, this is a stellar start for the game, and a true indication that audience appetite for highly curated, single-player experiences is still extremely high.
