Let’s split.
A short while back, I looked at the Hautepad X, Cosmox Gaming’s premium arcade controller that boasts modular components for a highly customisable experience – with an equally high price to boot.
For those who might not be on board with such an ambitious product but still want to see why Cosmox has been garnering praise in the fighting game community, the C16 and C16-S might be more up your alley.

It takes two (consoles).
When the original Little Nightmares was released in 2017, it won praise for its fresh take on puzzle platforming horror. Its sequel upped the scare factor even further, earning critical acclaim while deepening the series’ mythos. With a new developer at the helm of its threequel, the question on everyone’s minds is whether the franchise’s third outing sticks the landing.
The answer is, ‘Yeah, sort of…’ but with some major caveats. Little Nightmares III is essentially a soft reboot for the series with an all-new storyline and lead protagonists, yet it faithfully adheres to the well-trodden gameplay formula and level design of Tarsier Studios’ earlier entries, resulting in an experience that leans perhaps too much into reiteration rather than reinvention.

Fly away on my zephyr?
Trinket Studios (Battle Chef Brigade) and Outersloth revealed their brand new and rather tasty-looking card-battler, Battle Suit Aces, a little while back, and it’s out right this very moment on the Nintendo Switch Entertainment System.
Now, if you’re feeling in any way like this particular writer, you may have just thought, ‘No, no more card-battling games – I reckon I’m all good for now, folks.’ But judging from what we’ve seen of this one, it may well be worth your time, especially if you’re into Persona-styled storylines threaded throughout battles that feature things like massive robots and gigantic monsters. Y’know, all the best things.

Starseekers Unite!
We’ve already had a very brief glimpse of System Era Softworks and Devolver Digital’s rather excellent-looking Starseeker Astroneer Expeditions during the Switch 2 Direct six months back, and now the game has gone and got itself a great big 17-minute gameplay reveal, so we can get a proper look at exactly what it entails.
You can check out the reveal video in full above, and following on from our initial excitement at what we gleaned from our first glance back in April (no thanks to livestream hiccups), this in-depth peek shows off a multiplayer space adventure that’s got real promise.

Legends: Z-A will also be available on the Switch.
As we’ve already mentioned, October is a huge month for the Switch 2 (and Switch) with the launch of Pokémon Legends: Z-A.
So far, there’s been some Mega reveals and distribution events announced, and now Nintendo has sunk some of its marketing budget for the game into a commercial featuring the ‘Stranger Things’ star, Gaten Matarazzo.

Ready to save the planet?
Nintendo and Square Enix have published a brand new trailer for Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade, the upcoming Switch 2 version of the 2020 PS4 original –which later got a PS5 upgrade and DLC.
Today’s trailer acts as a bit of a rundown of the game’s setting, Midgard, as well as the many factions within the sprawling metropolis. If you’ve already played the game on Sony’s consoles or on PC, or even just played the original, you’ll be very familiar with these names, but it’s still worth a look.

As we reported not long ago, PowerWash Simulator 2, the cunningly-named sequel to PowerWash Simulator, is winging its way to Switch 2, which is a very good thing indeed given how popular the first outing was.
Now, the folks over at Futurlab have announced that their cleaning sim sequel will release on 23rd October 2025. Hey, that’s this month!
