@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.
@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:
@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.
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."
@Khwarezm89 @darkswabber To clarify, our game page on NL (at least for now) is simply 'Lego Fortnite' to cover this whole Lego game universe Epic has created - so the following is currently lumped under this:
Lego Fortnite Odyssey
Lego Fortnite Brick Life
Lego Fortnite Expeditions
@Chlocean I gave it a go earlier on - it's definitely a huge step up on the Switch version!
@Fighting_Game_Loser I only tried out the offline mode initially, but now that I've tested the online mode I'm stuck "looking for an opponent". I also tried to get online with Capcom Fighting Collection 2 and got the same result. Offline modes seem to be working.
@John_Deacon As mentioned on EG, Harmony was believed to have been in development during the Wii U era and "all development stopped prior to" work on MP4.
@FragRed Vibrant Visuals (a new graphics upgrade) is now being rolled out on select platforms in this latest update. It's still in the test phase and Switch hasn't received it, so maybe we'll get it on Switch 2.
@vincentgoodwin As noted in the story, this might not be the most surprising news (to everyone), but this is the very 'first' game Ubisoft is releasing on the Switch 2 - so I'd say it is worth highlighting. It's also of general interest to the community as mentioned by @SailorDonut.
@Spider-Kev Not yet, but you can check existing listings on places like Steam and Xbox to get a rough idea.
@ProNerdy This info about the HDMI cable comes from GamesRadar+:
"an alternative accessory compatibility page specifically says you should use the Switch 2 "Ultra High Speed HDMI Cable" that's included in the box. That terminology is typically used to refer to faster HDMI 2.1 cables, but the one you'll be getting with the handheld will be HDMI 2.0 since the system won't be hitting 4K 120Hz like the PS5 or Xbox Series X."
@YunoboCo That's not a mistake, that quote was taken directly from a Nintendo PR (in another part of the world) where the game is coming out in summer 2025.
For the sake of consistency (and to avoid further confusion), I have updated the quote to match the social post included.

"an alternative accessory compatibility page specifically says you should use the Switch 2 "Ultra High Speed HDMI Cable" that's included in the box. That terminology is typically used to refer to faster HDMI 2.1 cables, but the one you'll be getting with the handheld will be HDMI 2.0 since the system won't be hitting 4K 120Hz like the PS5 or Xbox Series X."
