4K puzzling awaits.

If, on a random Wednesday afternoon, you were considering picking up or replaying Braid on your Switch,then we’ve got good news for you. Braid: Anniversary Edition has received a Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, and it’s out today.

Spotted by Nintendo Everything, at the time of writing, the game is available on the Japanese eShop, with other territories surely following suit very soon. It costs 3,169 yen for the game, or 475 yen to upgrade, so expect to pay a little extra for the Switch 2 magic when it hits the eShop in your region.

Much to like.

Last week, Square Enix had us all scrambling to wrap up Remake as quickly as we could, as it announced that it’ll be bringing Final Fantasy VII Rebirth to Switch 2 in just a few months on 3rd June.

We only caught a brief glimpse at how the ambitious follow-up will fare on Nintendo hardware in the Partner Direct, but it was more than enough footage for the tech experts over at Digital Foundry to take a look and suss out what we can expect from a performance perspective.

The cherry blossom arrives.

Japan’s cherry blossom-filled sakura season may still be a month away, but Marvelous is bringing the petals in early with the new Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar update.

Instead, there may be “a new series on a different line”.

Alongside continuing the stories of Kazuma Kiryu and introducing the world to Ichiban Kasuga, Sega and RGG Studio has spent about a decade bringing back some of the older Yakuza / Like A Dragon games for modern audiences. Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties, out on 12th February, is the latest of those remakes, following on (naturally) from Kiwami and Kiwami 2. But it sounds like, rather than moving onto the fourth game, the end of the Kiwami series is here (thanks, Push Square!).

In a Ryusta TV livestream broadcast earlier today, RGG Studio head Masayoshi Yokoyama said that “I think ‘Yakuza Kiwami 3’ will be the last one, and the ‘Kiwami line will come to an end.” (translation from u/Dastanovich on Reddit.)

Cosmetic invasion.

Well, that didn’t take too long! After launching on the Switch eShop back in December, Dotemu and Tribute Games have today updated Marvel Cosmic Invasion to ver. 1.0.5, bundling in a fresh batch of hero colour palettes to boot.

The ‘Cosmic Collabs’ update includes a new wardrobe option for 12 of the 15-hero roster, each inspired by a different Marvel game. Spider-Man and Venom each get a crossover fit from Marvel Rivals, Black Panther and Rocket Racoon take theirs from Marvel Snap art, She-Hulk and Wolverine’s new looks come from Marvel Strike Force, Captain America and Nova take inspiration from Marvel Future Fight, Phyla-Vell and Beta Ray Bill’s palettes are all about Marvel Contest of Champions, and even Marvel Puzzle Quest gets a nod in Storm and Iron Man’s fresh threads.

Nadal it’s cracked up to be?

Having never been any sort of tennis fan for my entire childhood — Wimbledon always seemed a bit posh to me — I fell completely and utterly in love with the sport in my teenage years through the medium of video games.

Yes. Video games. They’re a whole thing! And just as has been the case with American football, basketball, and ice hockey, my initial interest in tennis was stoked by a game; in this case, the incredible Super Tennis on SNES.

Dragonite Quest Builders.

Pokémon Pokopia might just be one of our most anticipated games of 2026.
