We’ll take a shadow drop, Nintendo.

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond doesn’t even have a proper release date just yet, but according to a Switch 2 ad located at the Oxford Circus tube station in London, it’s apparently “out now”.

Before anyone suggests it’s a photoshop, the fine folks at VGC have actually seen it with their very own eyes. The same outlet notes how there is a similar “out now” ad for Mario Kart World alongside it, but the Metroid banner appears to be jumping the gun here.

Uh… is there a delete button?

You know what would make Tears of the Kingdom much easier? A herd of Epona. In terms of making it harder? How about multiple Ganondorfs? Well, you can have all that and more thanks to an exploit discovered by the TOTK community. (Thanks GamingReinvented!).

With the new Zelda Notes companion app (compatible only with the Switch 2 Edition), it’s possible to share Autobuild creations by uploading them to the app in-game, which then creates a QR code that you can share online. When someone scans that code in and uploads it to the game, voila, they have your Autobuild creation ready to roll.

Plus Team NL’s best shots.

Mario Kart World is the biggest Mario Kart to date. The map is huge, with Easter Eggs and little secrets hiding under bridges, atop towering buildings, and in the middle of sprawling oceans. Knockout Tour is the most chaotic concoction of multiplayer I’ve ever seen. And I’m still knee-deep in unlocking characters (darn, Kamek…).

And yet, here I am to talk about photo mode. Bloody photo mode, you’re probably thinking. A modern-day video game checkbox. Probably 60% of games have a photo mode nowadays, either at launch or patched in at a later date. Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Odyssey, Pokémon Scarlet & Violet, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate are just a few Nintendo first-party games that have some way of taking expressive pics of your characters.

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!

Taking on the role as either James Taylor or Gary Stewart, you’ll be blasting your way through a city that’s been overrun by, well, the dead, for lack of a better word.
