That really is updating the world.

Just under a month ago, Level-5 revealed that it would be releasing free DLC for Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time, which has been a huge success for the Japanese developer. The game has sold over 1 million copies across all platforms, and the Switch 2 version in particular is absolutely fantastic.

Now, the developer has shared more details about that upcoming free DLC, Update the World, and it really is updating the world, as Ginormosia will be transforming into a base for a roguelike, open world adventure (thanks, Gematsu!). A date hasn’t been announced, but Level-5 is aiming to bring it to fans “as soon as possible.”

A spy by any other name.

Now, you may remember that a few weeks back we reported on Agent 07 – Spy Revenge, a dubious PSN game that appeared to wholesale rip off entire levels and tons of assets from the N64 classic GoldenEye.

Indeed, we detailed how the company behind the game, iOrder SRL, had seemingly ruthlessly raided Rare’s retro romp, resulting in what looks just like the opening Dam level from Bond’s stellar 1997 outing, except…y’know…really janky and terrible.

Lock on.

An arcade light gun classic is coming out on 7th August 2025 as Forever Entertainment’s The House of the Dead 2: Remake brings zombies, bullets, and gore to Switch. The game was originally aiming for Spring, but we’re a little past that at this point!

Zip it.

We’ve already had a few rather nice Switch 2 carry case reviews on the site since the new console’s release, because as gamers we understand the in-built need — the unquenchable thirst — for new swag and gear to pimp out our slick new tech.

You can check out our official Nintendo carry case review right here, and we’ve also had a look at Savage Raven’s stylish offering. Now, however, it seems that Spigen, one of the bigger accessory brands out there, has stumbled upon a bit of an issue with the design of its new Switch 2 case, the ‘Klasden’.

Excellent bait and switch.

We all knew this was coming following a cheeky little leak some weeks back, but Nintendo has nw showcased the final box art for Donkey Kong Bananza, and it looks incredible.

Showcasing Pauline in all her glory, we’d go so far as to say that this box art might go down as an all-timer. It’s simply beautiful: the striking pose from DK and Pauline; the bits of rock flying everywhere; the constrast between the colourful action and the black background… Gorgeous.

Nintendo’s new mobile service for Hyrule.

Alongside the release of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom on the Switch 2, Nintendo added a special service to its mobile app called Zelda Notes – giving players multiple features to enhance their time in Hyrule.

This service includes navigation assistance, voice memories, autobuild sharing, item sharing, and much more. In our review here on Nintendo Life, we couldn’t help but feel a lot of these useful features should have been implemented in-game, but it’s now got us wondering how everyone else is finding this optional extra a few weeks later.
