Planning ahead.
With the Nintendo Switch 2 entering development as early as 2019, it might not come as a surprise that the hardware chip may have been finalised as early as 2021. And according to a teardown of a supposed Switch 2 motherboard, that’s exactly what it’s come down to.
Digital Foundry has summarised findings by Geekerwan and Kurnal, who have acquired a Switch 2 motherboard (from an online retailer in China) and performed a complete analysis of the tech. And the pair have suggested that the hardware was finalised four years ago. If that’s true, that means Nintendo has been holding onto the chip since then.

Student lounge around.
It’s been nearly six weeks since the Switch 2 Direct, and we’re now only three-and-a-half more away from the system’s launch. Overall, we were pretty impressed with the hour-long presentation Nintendo assembled to officially pull back the curtain at the start of April. Yes, some mixed messaging and unanswered questions could — and should — have been avoided, but the reveal itself contained loads of great games and a decent look at the hardware. A solid opening salvo after years of speculation.
If we had any notes, we probably wouldn’t have spent five minutes discussing a voice and video chat feature like it was some revolutionary new concept in video game communication. But hey, maybe with some distance from the announcement, we’d understand the angle and appreciate the approach a little more! Several weeks on, though, and we’re still not really sold on or excited about GameChat.

“We don’t feel like we’re fighting the system”.
Nintendo has published a new Creator’s Voice video looking at the upcoming release of Borderlands 4 on the Switch 2.
It’s pretty much what we’ve come to expect from these videos at this point, with Gearbox developers Randy Pitchford and Randy Varnell hyping up the new console and explaining how it’s helped with game development.

“That’s how they were originally intended to be played”.
The Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con controllers include mouse capabilities which opens the new system up to even more games. We’ve already seen how third-party titles like Civilization VII will support this feature when the new device arrives this June, and it seems other developers are just excited.
Speaking to RPG Site recently, Nightdive’s CEO Stephen Kick noted just how big the added mouse feature is as a lot of his studio’s games are obviously “intended to be played” this way:

Forever physical, kind of…
Physical distributor Limited Run Games recently announced a Switch 2 game-key card collector’s edition of the Atlus release RAIDOU Remastered – stating in fine print how this was not part of the company’s “numbered release” line.
We mentioned at the time how it could take a different approach with other releases (including its numbered line) and this has now reportedly been confirmed. Speaking to a Limited Run marketing representative at PAX East 2025, Boss Rush Network was told the following:

I choose you, Sword and Shield.
The Nintendo Music app gave us a Zelda playlist last week, and now it’s back with a new soundtrack. This time it’s the Pokémon Sword and Shield soundtrack – featuring tracks such as Battle! and even some work from the Undertale creator Toby Fox.
All up there are a whopping 138 tracks with a total runtime of 4 hours and 43 minutes. So this more than makes up for the week we missed out on. You can see the full tracklist over on the Nintendo Music app, which can be downloaded on Android and iOS.
