Roguelink.
Imagine if, after a hard day’s work dispatching Bokoblins, Link returned home and ran a little shop. That was the proposition put forward by Digital Sun and 11 Bit Studios back in 2018’s Moonlighter, and its sequel promises to be more of the same.
Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault launched on other platforms at the end of last year, and the publisher today announced that it’ll be making its way to Switch 2 at some point in 2026.

Kickstarter now live.
BIT.TRIP developer Choice Provisions (once known as Gaijin Games back in the day) has a Kickstarter campaign in progress to bring BIT.TRIP Rerunner to the Switch 2.

There’s a new Pokémon spin-off, for starters, followed by the return of Fatal Frame, the third Monster Hunter Stories game, and Nintendo’s capping off the month with a trip for Mario and co. to Bellabel Park.
