@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.👍

To avoid any further confusion here, I've updated the headline.

And just to clarify once more - the demo is a free download and the play time is up to three hours. From Ubisoft.com:

"A free demo for Star Wars Outlaws™ is now available on Nintendo Switch 2. The demo gives players access to a part of the game for up to three hours"

https://news.ubisoft.com/en-ca/article/78gFsQbyjx5lEpdbbYyffs/star-wars-outlaws-free-demo-now-available-on-nintendo-switch-2

Hope that clears it up.

Demo is 12.9 GB, according to my download.

@LastFootnote Ubisoft's words: "A free demo for Star Wars Outlaws™ is now available on Nintendo Switch 2. The demo gives players access to a part of the game for up to three hours"

Some demos are locked behind pre-orders etc nowadays (e.g. certain Activision releases), so some developers like to clarify their demos are free.

@TensuraFan7 Yep, same day:

"Will be released on all platforms (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Windows, PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Steam®, Nintendo Switch™2) on Thursday, October 23rd, the same day the Nintendo Switch™ 2 version is released."

@PeterTomlan86 Yes, just to make it clear - this item will return at some point in the future. Here's the fine print about this from the 'Ranked' section in-game:

"The Mega Stone obtainable as a promotion reward during this season is planned to be redistributed in future seasons."

@Smithicus Unless a score is set to "pending", when a review is published, the score is final.

In some cases, we might add a note to a review about an issue or if a post-launch update addresses a problem. Here's an example of this in our recent Hitman review:

https://www.nintendolife.com/reviews/nintendo-switch-2/hitman-world-of-assassination-signature-edition

If a developer/publisher mentions any problems before launching a game, we may also acknowledge this within a review (and whether or not there are plans for an update).

@Ade117 It's "online-only".

@ShadLink I've added a video, so hopefully that helps.

@Darthmoogle That was direct from Bandai Namco. Updated.

"Dragon Ball DAIMA: Character Pack 2 expands on the game’s roster of 180+ fighters, introducing six new characters, including iconic additions from the Dragon Ball DAIMA anime series: Goku (Mini), Super Saiyan 4; Goku (DAIMA), Super Saiyan 4; Vegeta (DAIMA), Super Saiyan 3; Majin Duu; Third Eye Gomah; and Giant Gomah."

https://www.bandainamcoent.com/news/dragon-ball-sparking-zero-character-pack-2-adds-six-iconic-new-fighters

@Hanabi99 From the DQ website:

"Each version has different graphical specifications based on the hardware's processing capabilities. However, there are no differences in the story, game content, or in which items can be obtained."

@KoiTenchi I did consider covering 'Basketball Classics' and leaving it at that, but as there are seven other games here already confirmed for console platforms, there's a chance at least some of them will end up on the eShop. As mentioned, the Katanaut dev seems to be open to a Nintendo release as well.

Sometimes we also cross-post certain stories on our sibling sites.

Personally, I don't mind the look of HYPERyuki: Snowboard Syndicate - as mentioned by @Bizzyb it's giving off a mix of Jet Set Radio and SSX vibes.

@Azileron Direct quotes from the PR

@JumpingJackson It's our tags at the top of each story and how they're ordered. So anything with a "Pokémon" tag is yellow, stories tagged with "Fire Emblem" and "Metroid" are purple, Kirby / Princess Peach - pink, Yoshi - green, Sonic - blue, Switch and Switch 2 tags are red, etc. And yeah, in most cases, it depends on the order of the tags as to what colour takes priority.

@Hardcore0bject In general, we often get PR announcements/releases like this for one region and other regions follow not long after, but this isn't always the case.

The PR quoted is the only info we've received about the locations of this release so far (keep in mind it's now the weekend as well): "players of the Americas with a Nintendo Switch 2"

Regarding the separate upgrade pack:

https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch/comments/1n2j6vj/comment/nbgz6cd/

@Grim Had a closer look and it does seem to be the same bag, so I've updated the title to reflect this.

@Markatron84 Was definitely having a moment with the title there, updated! 😂

@PikaPhantom At the time of writing, we've had no "official" confirmation. We'll share an update when we hear more.

@mariomaster96 Based on the listing on the official game site, it's lumped under the same release date:

https://trailsfirstchapter.com/product/#switch2

Platforms:
Nintendo Switch™ 2 / Nintendo Switch™, PlayStation®5, Steam®
Release Date:
September 19th, 2025

@Aeralto Formatting error there - updated!

@Alaninho We covered this in the previous story:

https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2025/07/borderlands-4-on-switch-2-will-mostly-run-at-30fps

@The-Chosen-one As quoted in the story above:

"Switch 2 players will have the same exciting Borderlands 4 experience as other platforms minus the split-screen option"

The specific platforms supporting split-screen: "Up to 2 players in splitscreen couch co-op on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S"

https://borderlands.2k.com/borderlands-4/faq/#:~:text=Yes%2C%20you%20can%20play%20co,and%20Xbox%20Series%20X%7CS.

As for previous Borderlands games on the original Switch, The Legendary Collection supported split-screen, but BL3 didn't.

@Gamebits Updated!

@Pillowpants I miss the 3DS Activity Log.

@HammerGalladeBro Looks more promising for NA:

https://x.com/Wario64/status/1955653823634289131

@Gavintendo As mentioned, this is single listing that's only just been discovered, so if we hear anything else, we'll provide an update. For now, I've added some regional tags to the story.

@Cipher36 No prob! Yeah, at this rate, I don't think we'll get them, but at least we have this option.

@canaryfarmer Here it is from Capcom's official website:

Free Title Update (August 6, 2025)

Offline Play, Bug Fix:

Hyper Street Fighter II - Fixed an issue in versus mode where unintended game behavior would occur at the end of matches on certain stages.

https://www.capcom-games.com/cfc/en-us/info/update202508.html

I'll update the story with this info, cheers!

@Cipher36 Just to clarify, there have been "multi-language" versions with English-language support.

@Thomystic Added!

@Retron From the official PR: "Each character blocks can also be used as an amiibo figure of the relevant character in compatible games."

@Friendly "DK is back in his latest outing Donkey Kong Bananza, and apart from new merch and promotions in mobile games like Super Mario Run, he's also getting his very own Tetris 99 event."

Also promoted it in the MK Tour story earlier this month:

https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2025/07/mario-kart-tour-announces-limited-time-mario-kart-world-special-campaign

@SaltySpitoon957 True, I've updated the story with this.

@Zeebor15 I've added a link to last year's teaser trailer.

@Anti-Matter Yep - PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.

@LazyDaisy There's obviously some speculation online, but to clarify, we're definitely not suggesting Pauline's existing VA has been replaced. I've made a slight update to hopefully make this a bit clearer.

As for Jenny Kidd, based on what I've played of DKB - I think she's doing a great job voicing the younger version of Pauline. I've found her lines to be some of the highlights so far.

@Emacster @Yomerodes I've updated the post with this information.

@Tasuki 10 hours from now, so today UK time.

@Synecdoche According to the description on the teaser site:

"Platforms: PlayStation®︎5 / PlayStation®︎4
Nintendo Switch™ 2 / Nintendo Switch™ / Steam®︎
Note: Only available digitally"

@FXFletch He was the OG Gary Oak in the English dub, and went on to voice the others in later seasons.

Update: Added in a 'best of Gary' video and another social post.

@AaronElWhite According to VGP:

"Language - English, Japanese, Korean, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, French, Italian, German, and Spanish"

Updated this story and headline to clarify this is the 'official' documentation of Nintendo Cube's involvement.

@Hero-of-WiiU Definitely had those vibes about it!

@Olmectron Select 8BitDo controllers work, but you'll need to install a firmware update:

https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2025/06/psa-8bitdo-controllers-require-a-firmware-update-to-work-on-switch-2

@invictus4000 From the official FAQ:

Do people who already own Little Nightmares (2017) be able to play the early access of Little Nightmares Enhanced Edition?

"The early access is only accessible throughout Little Nightmares III digital pre-orders. However, at launch, players who own Little Nightmares (2017) on PlayStation, Xbox and PC will receive the upgraded version for free."

Regarding Switch and Switch 2:

Is the upgrade from Little Nightmares to Little Nightmares Enhanced Edition free for Nintendo Switch owners?

"Due to technical constraints, owners of Nintendo Switch consoles and Little Nightmares (2017) won’t be able to get access to Little Nightmares Enhanced Edition. They will need to buy again the game on Nintendo Switch 2. As a reminder, Little Nightmares Enhanced Edition is only playable on Nintendo Switch 2 and not Nintendo Switch."

https://www.bandainamcoent.com/news/little-nightmares-3-q-and-a

@nhSnork According to some PR (via Gematsu):

"Game saves cannot be transferred from Little Nightmares (the base version) to Little Nightmares Enhanced Edition (and vice versa)."

@HammerGalladeBro Yes, the SEGA characters and Hatsune Miku will be guest characters available as free updates.
