We wouldn’t HATE it if he was correct.
Yes, we already reported a little while back that well-known YouTuber, NateTheHate, has suggested that a Nintendo Direct is incoming sometime in and around July. That’s this month!
Speaking on his YouTube show, Mr TheHate (hope we got that right) had said that:

Physical release will also require a download.
Borderlands 4 locked in a release date for the Switch 2 earlier today, with Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford confirming it will be arriving on 3rd October 2025.

Following the launch of Mario Kart World.
Well, it’s clear the restrictions on the voice actor reveals for Mario Kart World have officially lifted at this point, and more of the talent is now revealing who they played in the Switch 2 launch title.
Following the update on Peach yesterday (and also who voiced the NPC Toads in the game), we’ve now got the confirmation of the main Toad’s voice actor. This character is played by Laila Berzins and was formerly voiced by Samantha Kelly.

The very fabric of puzzling.
Thunderful Publishing and Sad Owl Games have announced that their acclaimed 2023 puzzler, Viewfinder, will be coming to Switch consoles this winter, although they haven’t gone as far as to give us a specific release date.
You can check out the game’s trailer above for a little taste of its exquisite flavours, and we can tell you that this one really is quite the get for Switch fans. It’s currently sitting pretty on a whopping Metacritic score of 86, and is an effort that’s wowed across the board with its clever approach to puzzling and the twisting of its players’ realities.

Just a little longer now…
Whilst we already knew that Pokémon Champions, an upcoming battle-focused game for Switch and mobile platforms, was a thing that is happening, extra details have been fairly thin on the ground this far, including when we’ll actually get our hands on the game.
Now, thanks to a brand new gameplay trailer which was just shown during the latest Pokémon Presents, we have some more info to dig into, most important of which, perhaps, is that the game won’t arrive until 2026. There’s no further info on exactly when we can expect a drop, but this is a little longer than we’d expected, given that we’ve known about the new entry for a little while now.

Now, that’s what I call a backlog.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is one of those games that, even though it isn’t available on any Nintendo consoles – well, not yet anyway – we’ve all likely heard plenty about it thanks to just how widely-acclaimed it’s been since launch earlier in the year. And rightly so!
Indeed, this very writer gave the dazzling RPG a rather nice 10/10 over on our sister site Pure Xbox, so yeah, it’s a proper all-timer. And therefore, it may come as something of a surprise to learn that Charlie Cox, who plays Gustave in Sandfall Interactive’s epic, reckons he hasn’t played a video game since Super Mario 64…which is ages ago.

Please, don’t touch the artwork.
There’s something nostalgic about going back to Monument Valley. Ustwo’s indie hit debuted on mobile in 2014 and helped establish (at least for a mainstream audience) that the mobile space could include the artistry of the wider indie games scene with thoughtful, immaculately presented, perspective-bending puzzlers alongside all the clickers and tappers and match-threes. The striking presentation and Escher-style designs put it squarely in the ‘games as art’ category. And though short, it was sweet enough to linger long after you’d finished. I remember having a wonderful time with it on iOS.
Two sequels eventually came, and now they’re all on PC and consoles. 1 and 2, available separately or as a bundle, are joined by Monument Valley III, previously a Netflix Games exclusive since its December ’24 mobile launch. These console versions expand the canvas to 16:9 and adapt the controls for a gamepad. And it works, just. It’s a shame, though, to see the impeccable presentation let down a little by some odd choices and a glitch or two at launch.
