Block party.

We’ve seen a fair number of third-party Switch 1 games make the jump to Nintendo’s new hardware under the ‘Nintendo Switch 2 Edition‘ banner, and now, if a new piece of Nintendo marketing is to be believed, a bunch of LEGO games might just be following suit (thanks for the heads up, Eurogamer).

That’s according to a handful of fans who were lucky enough to attend Zurich Pop Con over the weekend, where Nintendo of Europe held a pretty sizeable booth.

Welcome back, dear readers, to another edition of Box Art Brawl!

Last week, we matched up a pair of covers for everyone’s favourite dino, as we looked at a duo of designs for Yoshi Touch & Go. There’s no polite way to put this: it was a blowout.

Including fixes specific to Switch 2.

Hitman World of Assassination – Signature Edition didn’t get off to the best start when it arrived on the Switch 2 in June, but IO Interactive has made an effort since then to improve the overall experience.

With this in mind, the developer has now released another game update, which makes some updates across all platforms and also resolves multiple bugs in the Switch 2 version of the game. This follows an update in August, which added a Frame Rate option to lock the game at 30fps.

Bulk Up.

Okay, this might be one of the most genius marketing collaborations ever: the Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (better known as CMLL) has teamed up with The Pokémon Company to promote Pokémon Legends: Z-A in the best way possible — a Mexican wrestling event (thanks, VGC!).

The Noche de Leyendas (literally Night of Legends) was a match to the “death” between Team Hawlucha — consisting of Místico, Máscara Dorada and Titán — and Team Machamp — made up of Volador Jr., Hechicero and Bárbaro Cavernario.
