Based on the game’s first trailer, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants Unleashed developer AHeartfulofGames seems to have nailed the Mutant Mayhem visual style.

Disappointingly, Mutants Unleashed only supports two players. It’s out for PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, and PCs on October 18th.

You probably never heard of the Legend of Starfy series, but it’s not your fault — for some reason Nintendo never released the adorable aquatic platforming games outside of Japan. But now you can rectify that, as the first three GBA titles in the series are available for Switch Online subscribers.

That’s according to YouTuber Taki Udon who’s been teasing the mod they’ve created for months and today shared a proof-of-concept video demonstrating a Switch Lite with a much improved OLED display.

There’s no word on availability, but with a confirmed price tag under $50 and an upgrade process that’s described as, “very easy,” we’re very tempted.

Before Games Done Quick became the premier video game speedrunning event, there was the Nintendo World Championship. On July 18th, Nintendo is bringing that countrywide contest to the comfort of our living rooms with the Nintendo World Championship: NES Edition. Players will be able to compete in over 150 brand new speed contests across a ton of Nintendo classics both online and locally.

Nintendo has just released an extremely creepy 15-second trailer for a game called Emio. The trailer features grainy footage of a person in a trenchcoat wearing a paper bag decorated with an unsettling rictus grin. There’s no other information other than the cryptic hashtag #whoisemio. Whoever he is, the creepypasta loving 12-year-olds in your life are gonna love this.

On July 9th, basketball will arrive in Nintendo Switch Sports. The free update will include online and local 2v2 play with motion controls. And for local play, you’ll get a 3-point shoot out mode and a five streak battle game that has you and your friends shoot it out to see who can score five baskets first.

A year after Nintendo Japan announced it would stop repairing the Wii U when its supply of parts ran out, the company confirmed this week its Japanese support teams are no longer able to fix the 12-year-old console, as spotted by Nintendo Life.

After Nintendo shuttered the console’s online play in April, this week’s announcement feels like the Wii U’s final death blow.

Nintendo’s July collection of classic games coming to NES Online includes Golf, programmed by the company’s former CEO, Satoru Iwata, who passed in 2015.

Shortly after the Switch’s debut a copy of Golf was discovered as an Easter Egg on the console, which some assumed to be a tribute to the late CEO, but finding and playing the game is now much easier.

After debuting The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, a game where Princess Zelda finally gets to save Link, Nintendo teased an upcoming Switch Lite with a swanky gold finish.

The back of the console features the Hylian crest, and when released on September 26th, it will include a 12-month Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership.

Nintendo Switch Sports launched with a handful of games you’d kind of expect, like bowling, badminton, and swordplay, but after a free update dropping later this year, you’ll finally be able to shoot some hoops as well.

Finally, at long last, Ace Attorney sickos (including yours truly) will finally get what we’ve been asking for — a rerelease of Ace Attorney Investigations. It’s a spinoff series of the popular Ace Attorney games featuring Miles Edgeworth instead of Phoenix Wright as the protagonist. Crucially with this release, we’re finally getting a Western release of Ace Attorney Investigations 2. I cannot wait till September 6th to play on Switch, PC, PlayStation, and Xbox!

After arriving on PlayStation and Xbox, Stray is slinking its way to the Switch in time for the holidays.

Nintendo’s newest Mario Party game is here. Super Mario Party Jamboree features over 110 new minigames, 20-player online multiplayer, new locations, and new features that will undoubtedly infuriate your friends and family. And best yet, it launches October 17th, just in time for the family holiday get-togethers!

It will be part of four new titles being added to the Nintendo Switch Online service. The GBA classics, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (plus the Four Swords multiplayer expansion) and Metroid Zero Mission, and an additional “Mature 17+” title from the N64: Turok Dinosaur Hunter.

A new collection of Marvel and Capcom crossover arcade games is coming to Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Steam in 2024. Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection Arcade Classics will contain seven titles, including X-Men Children of the Atom and both Sega Dreamcast-era Marvel vs. Capcom 2D fighting games.

It’s about time Marvel vs. Capcom 2 is released from jail and easily available again outside of a pricey Arcade 1Up machine.

It’s been almost 14 years since Donkey Kong Country Returns launched on the Nintendo Wii (followed by a 3DS port in 2012), and next year an HD version of the game is coming to the Nintendo Switch. The game debuts on January 16th.

The game, first announced in 2021, is coming out on November 14th, 2025, and it looks incredible in a new trailer. It’s set to release on Switch, PS5, Xbox Series X / S, Steam, and Windows.

And that’s not all: an HD-2D remake of the first two Dragon Quest games is coming in 2025.

Fantasian is an RPG from Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi featuring composer Nobuo Uematsu that was previously only available on Apple Arcade. It’s coming out this winter.

Nintendo just released a quintet of classic Mega Man games for Switch Online subscribers, covering a five game run of Game Boy titles that launched in the early ‘90s. The platform means the Blue Bomber isn’t, well, blue in these games, but there’s still some very fun action-platforming to be had.

I’m not actually playing Duck Hunt with darts on an OLED screen, of course, but this blaster did shoot that suction tip dart! The free files are designed by Gemeneye, and I’m really digging the inline clip mod that gives it three short dart shots.

It’s now on my wall next to the telescoping Master Sword.
