I've added South Park: The Fractured but Whole to the Compatibility fixes list. It was updated on 17th March 2026, according to Nintendo's Switch 2 compatibility page.

@Haruki_NLI The Nintendo eShop and the physical followed as a NS2 release, but to further clarify - it contains the Switch 2 & Switch 1 versions on one game card.

@LastFootnote There's a hyperlink in there now - it's basically just some items.

For Toad amiibo, you get an Invincibility Mushroom, and other amiibo will give you a 1-Up Mushroom. The Wedding amiibo immediately unlock some mini-courses.

As for Wonder, you'll get some power-ups.

@JGC1200 Just had another look at the listing myself and I've updated the story to make this clearer.

@JohnnyMind Thanks for that! Yeah, the last notable update on this front was December. I've removed that quote.

@rvcolem1 There's a demo on Steam, I think - if it shows up on Switch 2, we'll provide an update.

@Metazoxan Yeah, that's it - the game directly prompts the player about the furnishing requirements. Whereas the video's aim here was to raise awareness about the part before this, that some people might not actually know about.

I spoke to someone who was in the early stages of the game that didn't know how to make a house like this.

I'm not personally doing the guide coverage for this game on the site, but I expect we'll properly flesh out everything over time and go into more detail in each guide.

@Waluigi451 I've updated the story with a mention of the requirements.

We're still busy fleshing out our guides, so I'd expect we'll share a more detailed standalone article/video at some point about home and furnishing requirements (and how exactly the interactions work with Pokémon during this phase).

@MegaVel91 I'm aware of the furniture requirements a Pokémon needs to move in.

To reiterate, the video above isn't specifically about that part, it's focused on the few basic steps it takes to officially register/activate an "empty house" in the game.

We thought beginners might be interested to know about this, if they weren't already aware of it.

@moonblastx We didn't go into the living and furnishing requirements in this video. This is a few simple steps to let beginners know how to activate a house in the game, if they weren't already aware of it.

I'm not sure if we have a guide here on the site detailing the living and furnishing requirements just yet, but I'll make a note of it.

@Tasuki I have updated the post with this. I also added some links confirming the bucket's availability in the UK and Australia.

@JalapenoSpiceLife The demo is live on all platforms.

Good point about Champions, I've made note of it.

@Krlozgod "Legendary cats" is also a thing.

@Porky No, same source claims the IV glitch is still present.

@Anti-Matter They're commonly referred to as the legendary dog trio, but if we're being more formal about it, legendary beasts would be the way to go. I've updated the headline to avoid any upset!

@LastFootnote Missed the cut off, updated!

@Smerd We don't update reviews, but in some cases, we attach a note when a patch has resolved/improved a certain aspect of a game.

This update has only just been released, so expect it to be unpacked in the coming days.

@rjejr Gameloft announced the Switch 2 Edition of Disney Dreamlight the other week (and it's due out in March), so it's basically just the timing of that announcement and this particular release being so close together. We also want to promote our most recent news stories whenever we can.

As for Gear Club, it's out this week, and I'm not sure if it will be getting much coverage here on NL - so this is just a timely reminder when we're already talking about another car game.

I'll keep an eye on the Speedstorm news. I did give the game a go at launch, but didn't really go back to it. Most of my time last year was spent in Mario Kart and Sonic Racing. I've added our most recent Speedstorm story to the 'Related Articles' section.

@PinderSchloss Yeah - it's actually $14.99 for each of those plush figures, according to Walmart.

@Vyacheslav333 It's an exciting announcement in the pinball space (and it's Pokémon's big anniversary), so I think it deserves its own post.

Hey folks, I've updated one segment of this story to clarify fan conversation about the latest game's budget is speculative and based on unconfirmed leaks.

@Jason_Feiner The post is now live: https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2026/02/if-you-like-paper-marios-newest-entry-this-nintendo-music-update-is-for-you

@StorminNorman I've added a link.

@HydroSeptr Oops, looks like it was only available for a limited-time and has since been removed. I've updated the article!

@Tyranexx I've updated it now.

@AussieMcBucket The "motion-based features" are mentioned in the second line. From the PR:

"New Motion-Based Nintendo Switch 2 Features"

"WWE 2K26 on Nintendo Switch 2 will offer several additional features made possible through Nintendo Switch 2's unique hardware, including touchscreen and mouse support, GameShare and GameChat, support for single Joy-Con gameplay, and the ability to use mouse controls in Creation Suite for face and body painting. The Nintendo Switch 2 version of the game will also now support Image Uploader and cross-platform Community Creations."

Nintendo's site also shares some information about this:

"JOY-CON™ 2 MOUSE SUPPORT
WWE 2K26 on Nintendo Switch™ 2 includes mouse support using the JOY-CON™ 2 controllers. Mouse support includes navigation of the menus and for use within Creations."

Hope that helps.

@The-Chosen-one Push Square covered the previous story about fans raising concerns, so I've added this to the related articles section.

Just a note, I've updated the headline here and also this story with Sal's comments.

@EarthboundBenjy I've updated the story with some links to make the history a little clearer.

@timtimtim I was referring to the local opening date for the stores in Australia, but I've updated it now to make it clearer.

Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio's technical director followed up this announcement with the full list of Game Gear titles, so I've updated the post with this information.

@LimitedPower As noted in the story:

"Nintendo has previously mentioned how it will continue to add new Switch games to the voucher program throughout 2026, even though it's ending the sale of vouchers."

This is also mentioned on Nintendo's website, so you should be right.

@Dang_69 Our game page didn't reflect the 'TBD' for some reason, I've updated this and the story now.

@obijuankanoobie Added!

@NFrealinkling I pulled the screenshot from one of our older features, and yeah - it's actually a Wii U Party screenshot. Updated!

I'll admit, I played Wii Sports, Resort, Wii Play, Wii Fit and Wii Music, but I never played Wii Party (or the one on Wii U). I did revisit the Wii Sports games in Wii Sports Club on the U.

@SneakyLink I've updated the story to reflect this. Thanks!

@BaldB3lper78 By the looks of it, we don't have anything planned at the moment.

We'll probably wait and see if there are any other significant updates / if any major upgrades come along.

If we got something big like a Switch 2 upgrade (like what happened with Skyrim recently), we'll likely revisit it.

@Spider-Kev Updated the post with this, cheers.

@Daniel36 Yes, before console, Nitrome did a lot of web browser and mobile games. I remember playing Skywire back in the day after seeing this trailer.

@Olmectron I've updated the headline to make it clearer MK4 is not on the game card. And the subtitle confirms it's available as a download.

@ALinkttPresent Oops, I thought that story said something about it, but I'm not sure we actually covered it in the end.

@PikaPhantom The PR we got today says it's still on the way, but it only mentions pre-orders for Switch 2.

"MIO: Memories In Orbit launches on January 20, 2026 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2.

Pre-orders are now live on Steam, Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 — with a 10% discount available on all platforms (on PS5, the discount is reserved for PS Plus subscribers).

Pre-orders on Nintendo Switch 2 will open on December 22."

Some PR materials published today also show the Switch logo:

@danmonse Good point, I've added that to the story.

@the_beaver True, I've updated the post to reflect this. As for Switch 2 base game pricing, I've checked official Koei Tecmo channels and the eShop and can't seem to find any mention of it just yet. It doesn't seem to be mentioned in the PR materials either, but there are some online retailer listings in certain regions.

@squiddu-real I've updated the post with this information.

Hey folks, apologies for any confusion here - I'm not sure what happened, but there was a mix up with the patch notes. That's quickly been corrected now, so you should see today's notes for 10th November 2025.

@ferryb001 Yeah, that's from the EA patch notes. Each header is D/M/Y format to clarify.

@Aswannsong Nintendo actually has HW:AoI in its "Upcoming First-Party Nintendo Switch 2 Titles" slide (in its latest financial PDF). Along with this is the attached message:

"Note: Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment will be licensed to be released and sold as a Nintendo Product
outside of Japan."

@rjejr Considering AOC's Expansion Pass and the history of the Warriors series, it wouldn't be a surprise if we got DLC for AOI at some point.

@Styledvinny79 Here's our TGS hands on: https://www.nintendolife.com/previews/feature-zelda-layton-mega-man-10-games-we-played-at-tgs-2025-coming-to-switch-1-and-2#hyrule-warriors-age-of-imprisonment-switch-2

Player reports of this in-store demo also sound pretty happy with the game's performance.

@rjejr That's according to Nintendo PR 😅 "The full Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment game is available Nov. 6, only for the Nintendo Switch 2 system."

@HugoGED I've added the message from the Japanese store listing.👍
