“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.

Room for more.
Just when you thought that the Nintendo Today! app had showcased just about every facet of the Switch 2 that we could possibly hope to see, the Big N pulls out yet another reveal. Today, it’s all about the console’s fancy new charge settings and how they’re working to keep batteries healthy for longer.
As highlighted in the app, Switch 2 will feature a new ‘Stop Charging Around 90%’ option in the system settings. As the name suggests, this feature will slow the console’s charging speed as it approaches 90% and then stop once it hits the figure.

Hands off!
A new video posted to the Nintendo Today! app reveals the the upcoming Switch 2 can be completely locked with a PIN.
In a similar manner to smart phones and tablets, you can apply a PIN to prevent others from waking the console from sleep mode and playing without your permission. It’s not known whether you can adjust the number of digits required, or if it’s just a bog-standard 4-digit PIN, but either way, it’s a neat little security measure.

Touch, I remember touch.
The first Please, Touch The Artwork was a stylish puzzler inspired by Piet Mondrian and De Styjl, the Dutch abstract art movement that reached its height around a century ago. We enjoyed Belgian dev Thomas Waterzooi’s cracking little curio immensely back in 2022, and this follow-up (which has been available elsewhere since February 2024) focuses on Belgian painter James Ensor. It’s a decidedly simpler composition, but one that carries through the first game’s humour and low-stakes, gallery vibes.
Described in the PR blurb as “‘Where’s Waldo’ meets Modern Art”, there’s a touch of Python in the animation and sound effects of this “cosy hidden-object adventure”. Split into six short chapters, you control a well-attired, genteel skeleton risen from the grave to wander Ensor’s paintings collecting items at the behest of the artist’s subjects.

But don’t get your hopes up just yet.
We are rapidly approaching the 11th July release date for Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 on Switch (and its as-yet undated Switch 2 version), but that won’t stop us all from looking to what’s next for the Bird Man as far as remasters are concerned. While nothing is confirmed for the time being, a recent interview with Hawk himself has us wondering whether the Underground games might be the next titles in the (half)pipeline.
This comes from a new Screen Rant interview, where the outlet asked Hawk if he has any hopes to keep the series going with a future remaster for Tony Hawk’s Underground. “I always have aspirations,” the skater responded, ” it’s not up to me generally. I’ll campaign all I can, but I’m working with a much bigger company that’s a lot smarter than me”.

That’s a spiny shell to you, mate.
We love the little GWPs (gifts with purchase) that Lego likes to drop with certain special sets from time to time, and this latest one is an absolute doozy for us Nintendo fans.
If you happen to have your beady eye already on the recently announced LEGO Super Mario: Mario Kart – Mario & Standard Kart‘ set, you may want to keep that same beady eye on alert, as this Lego Blue Shell, or ‘40787 Spiny Shell’ to give it its full sexy Lego label, has been revealed via a Building Instructions Page over at Lego.com (shoutout to Brickfanatics).
