Beyond iconic.
Metroid Prime 2: Echoes has one of the best title screens ever.
It starts off with edge-lit glimpses and silhouettes, a bit like a Bond intro. But instead of naked bodies and wait-was-that-a-nipple, there’s something grotesque and alien and impressively FMV in the darkness.

Limits were meant to be broken.
Disgaea fans know the drill by now. Whenever a new mainline entry in the long-running tactical RPG series breaks onto the scene, it’s only a matter of time before it gets a re-released edition that bundles in the base game’s DLC along with a suite of gameplay tweaks and additions. It’s series tradition at this point, as every single numbered Disgaea game to date has received an expanded version (or even a couple) post-release. Now, with the Western release of Disgaea 7 Complete at hand, the latest title in Nippon Ichi Software’s zany crown jewel of a franchise is ready to join its brethren in the Valhalla of unparalleled game definitiveness.
D7C takes 2023’s Disgaea 7: Vows of the Virtueless and repackages it with a plethora of brand-new additions, like a special bonus campaign episode and a new superboss to conquer. The title doesn’t lie — this is the ultimate version of Disgaea 7 and it completely supersedes the original release as the ideal way to experience the game.

Persona 3 Reload is en route to the Switch 2 later this month, and for anyone wondering about the chances of this remake getting a release on the original Switch, it’s probably not going to happen.
If this wasn’t already clear after the Switch 2 announcement in July, the Persona team has now confirmed this in a recent interview with Japanese outlet 4Gamer, while also providing some reasoning behind the decision.

Crawl through dungeons and learn Japanese in Shujinkou.
2025 has been an absolutely stacked year for video games — Hades II, Hollow Knight: Silksong, Clair Obscur, Donkey Kong Bananza, and Split Fiction are just a few games that have picked up over a 90 average on OpenCritic. But until Hades II arrived, there was a game that stood head and shoulders above the rest, and you might not have even heard of it.
Shujinkou launched on PC via Steam and PS5 earlier this year and the Switch version is out today (2nd October) on the eShop for £26.99 / $29.99 (or your regional equivalent). The port was actually announced about a month ago, but given the craziness of September, it completely slipped by us!

Bugs and UI issues also fixed.

Designs will be shared when it’s finished.
As you’ll likely be aware, LEGO’s fancy Adult range of sets got itself a sweet 1:1 replica of Nintendo’s iconic Game Boy yesterday (look out for a gallery of this writer’s build shortly). However, not happy with the stunning attention to detail, dinky little game carts, and interchangeable screens that the vanilla Lego GB is rocking, one master builder has decided to bring hers to life.
In what’s got to be some sort of record for a mod turnaround, Australian Game Boy modder and self-taught circuit-board designer Natalie the Nerd has got her Lego handheld playing real GB games via real carts with nary a Raspberry Pi or other modern doodah in sight.
