Smooth sailing on Switch 2.
Pokémon Legends: Arceus isn’t a perfect game by any means, but that didn’t stop it from syphoning all of my free time when it launched back in 2022. This was the first time in a while where I truly felt the desire to “catch ’em all”. While Arceus still borrowed a lot from the mainline games, it did enough to make the world of Pokémon feel fresh and alive in ways the franchise previously hadn’t for many players, including myself.
Legends: Arceus isn’t an open-world game, though the zones it offered still did a solid job of making me feel immersed in the environment. Not only would you find Pokémon walking around all over the place, you could sneak up on them and toss a ball without the need for a battle. This could backfire as a Pokémon might be alerted to your presence and lay the smackdown on you. Yeah, you – the trainer. There was a sense of danger and mystery that really couldn’t be found in any previous Pokémon games.

Following the news last month the game would run at “mostly” 30fps (instead of 60fps) on Nintendo’s new hybrid hardware, we’ve now got another Switch 2-related update. This was spotted in the game’s official FAQ, which was updated earlier this month.

Plus a neat charity collaboration.
Rue Valley, a narrative RPG heavily inspired by Disco Elysium, has been confirmed for the Switch in addition to PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
No release date has been set at the time of writing, but we’re keeping a close eye on this one. It looks pretty awesome; definitely a little more upbeat and comedic than what Disco Elysium offered, but still retaining some of the same DNA.
