The new Pokémon Pokopia Expansion Pass expansion and the new FREE content update for folks who already own the game are going live today. The previously announced content updates for the Pokémon experience are finally ready for prime time alongside this morning’s Switch 2 console discounts ahead of the upcoming price hike. 

While we are still tracking a host of physical PS5 game deals down below, today we are turning our attention back to Switch 2 after yesterday’s Direct presentation and this morning’s notable price drop on Switch 2 consoles starting at $100+ under the upcoming price increase listing. You’ll find a series of Switch game deals below, but we are highlighting the Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade for Switch 2 down at $29.83 Prime shipped on Amazon. Regularly $40, this is a solid 25% price drop on par with the lowest price we have tracked on Amazon. 

• Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave Nintendo Switch 2 Edition $70 (Reg. $80)
• At Amazon and Walmart

The price increase on Switch 2 is quickly approaching, and Nintendo just warned folks that the offer on the Choose your Game bundle deal is ending soon. If you are looking to land a console before all of that happens, you might want consider the savings opportunities live this month, be it the Choose Your Game Bundle or this “Grade A” refurbished option at Woot for even less – you can grab one right now at $399.99 shipped. 

It is Nintendo Direct day and pre-order deals are still live on Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave. We did just recently highlight this deal, but that was right before Nintendo announced today’s Direct presentation and we wanted to get this offer front and center once again. You can still land an early deal on the physical copy at both Amazon and Walmart, and likely only until the game releases in mid-September. We have seen some of these Switch 2 exclusive pre-orders jump back up in price before release day, so if you know you want a copy for day one now’s a good time to scoop one – the Amazon price guarantee here will ensure you pay the lowest price it drops to between now and launch day no matter what you pay now.

It is Nintendo Direct day folks. While it’s not the big September showcase or the Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time remake blowout we are all waiting, this morning Nintendo is set to go live with dedicated 20-minute broadcast on next month’s big Switch 2 release. 

Two of the biggest launches in recent memory might very well be landing in the same month this year – GTA VI and The end of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake. Grand Theft Auto VI will land on November 19, this we know for sure, but it looks like there now might be good reason to believe Nintendo could go toe-to-toe with the Rockstar behemoth. 

Update 8/3: We knew it wasn’t going to last forever, but Nintendo is now informing folks that the Choose your Game Switch 2 bundle is “‘ENDING SOON’ and quite possibly right before the price hike goes like in September of this year.

There’s only one month left before Nintendo Switch 2 consoles get even more expensive. You could hope to get lucky and land one of those very short-lived discounts we caught at Amazon a couple weeks ago, or you could jump on one of the discounts now while you still can.

Nintendo just officially announced the next Nintendo Direct. Don’t get too excited – it’s not the Ocarina of Time show you’re likely waiting on, but Fire Emblem fans are in for a dedicated show this week to get a better look at Fortune’s Weave ahead of release in mid September. 

While we all await the official announcement for The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time remake (many folks are eyeing early November at this point), the next major Switch 2 launches are Switch Sports Resort later this fall and Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave in mid September. Amazon is now once again offering its pre-order discount on the latter, much like we are tracking over at Walmart, to knock $10 off the proper physical copy with the Game Card in the box. Just about every Switch 2 release over the last several months has been available with the pre-order discount at retail before jumping back to the full MSRP once it launches, if not even sooner. If you’re looking to land a copy of this one for launch day, you’ll want to lock in the discounts while you still can.  

• Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave Nintendo Switch 2 Edition $70 (Reg. $80)
• At Amazon and Walmart
• Switch Sports Resort $50 (Reg. $60) | Walmart

While it has been slow going as of late, Nintendo is finally updating the Switch 2 Nintendo Classics GameCube library again with a new Mario game, and we are going to take an updated look at the lineup for summer 2026. 

While we are still awaiting the official release date for Switch 2’s biggest release of the year – The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake, as well as an official launch for FromSoft’s The Duskbloods, it is time to take stock of the games confirmed to be landing on Switch in 2026. There is a long list of titles already locked down for 2026, from James Bond and brick-built Batman to the new Switch Sports Resort game, the Kingdom Hearts collection, and more. Let’s dive in. 

Switch 2 gamers everywhere are soon to the field of Hyrule as Nintendo ramps up for the launch of what is widely expected to be its biggest holiday launch – The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake. Rumors and leaks have been flying since well before Nintendo made the remake official, and that special edition Zelda Switch 2 console is surfacing again, but it might not be the Ocarina of Time model. 

Update: The officially-licensed Hasbro Legend of Zelda Heroes of Hyrule are now live on Amazon.

Nintendo and Hasbro went official with a new licensed Zelda toy line last week, and today we are getting our first look at the new Hylian figures ahead of pre-orders going live later tonight. 

This year’s big Switch 2 game release, at least for many folks, is the now confirmed The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time remake. Nintendo has said it is coming this year, but it has yet to show us any gameplay or provide a release date. However, GameStop might have just leaked the pre-order date. 

The Zelda Ocarina of Time remake is set for release in 2026, but as we await a proper gameplay reveal and the actual release date, Hasbro and Nintendo have now officially announced a licensing partnership to debut a series of new toys and collectibles based on the beloved Zelda franchise. 

Update 6/15: The Crocs x Super Mario Clogs and Jibbitz are now live for purchase.

The new Crocs x Super Mario collection will be available for purchase today. Earlier this month Nintendo and Crocs made their latest collaboration official, and the new Mushroom Kingdom clogs are now up for grabs on the official Crocs site. 

It appears as though Nintendo could be in the process of developing a new Switch 2 console with an OLED display, according to reports. 

Back in late May Nintendo and LEGO official teased upcoming Donkey Kong sets. At the time it was unclear whether or not this would be some sort of expansion to the existing Super Mario theme or not, but since then it has started to become clear DK is getting his own sets entirely and the first image of the new LEGO Donkey Kong Arcade has leaked online. 

Alongside the return of discounts on a series of new upcoming Switch 2 games, and all of the deals you’ll find in this morning’s roundup, Nintendo is now letting folks play the new Yoshi and the Mysterious Book for FREE. 

Nintendo has had a tough year when it comes to leaks (more like two years at this point), which is to be expected in and around a major new console release. But after having what will almost certainly be its major holiday Switch 2 game leaked months ahead of time, and countless number of others, a new, as of yet un-announced Metroid game has now surfaced online. 

Nintendo is now handing out a FREE month of Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack. While it might not be the new GameCube title announcement you’re waiting on, both new Switch Online members and existing subscriptions can take advantage of this offer. Details below. 

Last week Nintendo made it official – The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake is real, and it is releasing on Switch 2 in 2026. While very little is known about the upcoming release, folks did sleuth out an official description on the game from Nintendo that might give us a better idea of what we are in for. 

Nintendo is continuing to update its popular Switch 2 GameCube library and now that we have moved into 2026 it’s time to take an updated look at the lineup. 

Nintendo hosted its big summer Nintendo Direct presentation this week and it was…good. Not great, but good. I think the bevy of Nintendo leaks that have hit this year dulled the experience significantly for many folks, myself included, Nintendo stock has taken a bit of nose dive because of it, and more importantly, there’s more than a few gamers that walked away from the presentation far less excited than they should have been. So what’s next from Nintendo: Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time limited edition Switch 2 console? A proper influx of major Game Cube titles? Is there one more surprise 2026 game release? 

Here we go! It’s a big day for fans of the Mushroom Kingdom and Hylian heroes everywhere as Nintendo is set to livestream the big summer Nintendo Direct we have all been waiting for, and it all goes live this morning. 

Nintendo went live this morning with its big summer Direct, and even if all you were waiting for was a big Zelda reveal, it did not disappoint. While we still haven’t received the release date for the new Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time remake remake yet (it is coming this year though), Nintendo’s new Star Fox game is definitely releasing in a just couple weeks now, and you can try it for FREE on Switch 2 starting right now. 

Nintendo just wrapped up its big summer Nintendo Direct and just as we hoped, it capped the show off with the official reveal of The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time remake. 

Nintendo has now officially confirmed the leaked June Nintendo Direct and it goes live tomorrow. Does this mean the rest of the game leaks and rumors are also going to come true? Some of them already have and tomorrow could be the big one. 

After waiting, more or less, a full year for Nintendo to host a major Nintendo Direct for Switch 2, the day has finally arrived. Yesterday Nintendo made it official – it is hosting a full-on 2026 summer Nintendo Direct and it goes live today. 

Nintendo just confirmed its big June Nintendo Direct folks. It’s really happening! All the leaks and rumors were true. 

Nintendo historically hosts a big Direct in June, but last year things were seemingly shifted because of the Switch 2 launch and this left expectations up in the air for 2026. However, industry insiders claimed we were getting something along those lines this month, and one of them just doubled down to confirm/leak the date. 

While we are still waiting an official release date on FromSoft’s Switch 2 exclusive, The Duskbloods, ready your swords my fells Tarnished warriors, you will officially be heading back to The Lands Between in just two months time – the release date for Elden Ring Tarnished Edition on Switch 2 has been revealed. 

Just after Nintendo teased all-new official LEGO Donkey Kong sets, Nintendo announced the classic Donkey Kong 64 for Switch Online, and that day is here. The 1999 release is now live and playable in the Nintendo 64 – Nintendo Classics library for Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack members. 

After the launch of the official Animal Crossing collection, and those insanely ridiculous LEGO clogs, Nintendo has announced Crocs are coming to the Mushroom Kingdom. 

Nintendo surprised just about everyone last moth with a dedicated Star Fox Direct showcase out of nowhere. The new Switch 2 cinematic remake of the N64 game is officially set for release on June 25 and Nintendo has just unleashed a new Overview Trailer via the Nintendo Today app. 

Nintendo didn’t just announce the major Nintendo Direct we are waiting for, but most assume it’s coming and several industry insiders are suggesting it’s going to be bigger than World 4 in SMB3. I’m not so certain, but there is a very good chance, based on leaks, rumors, and historical analysis, that something big is coming from the Mario Zelda maker.

Nintendo has officially announced Donkey Kong 64 for the Nintendo 64 Switch Online library. DK, Diddy, Lanky, Tiny, Chunky, and the DK Rap will arrive on Nintendo Classics in one week’s time in glorious 64 bit. 

Remember the days when we used to get some seriously great deals on gaming consoles for holiday events and Black Friday? No? Well, I’m old enough to remember those days, and realistic enough to know they are long gone, at least for now. And that’s why you might want to take Nintendo’s new Switch 2 Choose Your Game bundle offer more seriously.
