Nintendo

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. 

Alongside the ongoing pre-order deals for the new Switch 2 games that debuted at least week’s Direct presentation, a new Atari publisher sale and some SEGA Switch games are also landing in our deal collection this week. Pre-orders for the new Final Fantasy Resonance are now live, but we also spotted Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties on Switch 2 down at $39.99 (33% off) as well as Star Wars: Dark Forces Remaster at the $19.99 Amazon all-time low and Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection on Switch 2 down at the $39.88 Amazon low (34% off).

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. 

The week started with the announcement of Nintendo big summer Direct, and we are finishing it off with another look at the pre-order discounts now live on some of the newest Switch 2 games. Alongside the rare Switch 2 console discounts now live ahead of the upcoming price hike, Amazon and Walmart are both offering $10 off a series of the new games highlighted at this week’s Direct. That means you can land the new Switch Sports Resort Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, among others, down at $49.99 shipped ahead of release later this year – this offer is now live at both Walmart and Amazon. This one is regularly $50 in digital form, but the physical copy we are featuring here today carries a $60 list price and, if it’s like the other discounted Switch 2 pre-orders we have featured, will jump back up in price at launch. 

• Nintendo Switch Sports Resort Nintendo Switch 2 Edition $50 (Reg. $60)
• Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave Nintendo Switch 2 Edition $70 (Reg. $80)
• Orbitals Nintendo Switch 2 Edition $40 (Reg. $50)

The price of Nintendo Switch 2 is going up, this we now know for sure. And if you or anyone you know is looking to land a console before that happens, there are some deals right now. The Choose Your Game bundle and this deal at Woot using code NEW15 at checkout. Details below. 

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. 

Update 5/28: Nintendo’s new Pictonico! Is now live on iOS and Android. 

While some of the big Switch 2 game leaks have now come true, there are still some major rumors still up in the air. One Nintendo game that did not leak ahead of time is the quirky new Pictonico! that was just revealed and is now set for release next week. 

Last week, Nintendo officially announced the new Nintendo Switch 2: Choose Your Game Bundle offer, and it is now available for purchase – this basically the best and only deal on Switch 2.  

We are quickly approaching the 1-year anniversary of the Nintendo Classics GameCube library on Switch 2. While have had a relatively steady stream of titles added since then, it has been two months since Nintendo delivered a new title to the service and it’s time to check in on all of the confirmed titles and what the next Game Cube game will be. 

Just after its official launch in mid February and a couple of new additions for Mario Day a month later, Nintendo has now announced five new titles for Virtual Boy Nintendo Classics. 

Just after the official price increase on Nintendo Switch 2 was announced on the base system, it has now issued a press release to reveal the new Nintendo Switch 2: Choose Your Game Bundle. 

We saw that adorable Nintendo Hello, Mario! Board Book go up for preorder earlier this year (available right now at $12), now it’s Yoshi’s turn. The official My Mario: It’s Yoshi! Board Book pre-order is now live on Amazon at $12.99 Prime shipped. 

Nintendo has just decided to reveal a new updated for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. While not some giant expansion you might be hoping for, the now 3-year old release is getting an epic new amiibo though and some in-game goodies along with it. 

Nintendo had a giant 2025 with the launch of its next-generation console, record-breaking sales, and some top-tier game releases. This year has been a bit of a down turn – as the new Super Mario Galaxy Movie caught fire at the box office, Switch 2 sales have slowed, all of its big announcements for 2026 might have already leaked, and the stock price is dropping. It’s not all bad news though, and it has now confirmed there are still some as of yet (officially) announced first-party titles set to launch this year for its new console. 

Well, as much as as we hoped it wouldn’t, I guess we all sort of knew it was gong to happen eventually – Nintendo has now officially announced price increases on Nintendo Switch 2. 

The leaks at Nintendo have been wild this year. From the now confirmed Star Fox game and a potentially upcoming remake of Zelda Ocarina of Time, not everything has come true just yet, but much of it has, and a Switch 2 version of Hell is Us is one of them. 

Update 5/7: This one is likely not going to last for long – the brand new Star Fox game for Switch 2 is seeing a notable $10 pre-order discount at Walmart right now. Go quick. 

Update 5/7: The new Star Fox game for Switch 2 is now up for pre-order at Amazon.

Nintendo just announced a surprise Star Fox Nintendo Direct and it is set to start any minute now! 

How to get YouTube on Switch 2? Is there a YouTube app for Switch 2 yet? Is there any way to watch YouTube on Switch 2? These are some of the questions that have been floating around for folks looking for some YouTube action on the new Nintendo console, and it turns out there is a way to make it happen. 

Nintendo has officially announced a new Pokémon Pokopia Nintendo Switch 2 console bundle. However, it’s probably not the one you were hoping for, and there’s no word yet if this one is even coming stateside. 

Update 4/29: This posted has been updated with all of the latest leaks.

In case you somehow missed it, there has been a massive leak over at Nintendo. Somebody is stealing all of the Mushroom Kingdom’s biggest secrets and leaking them all over the internet. As exciting as some of this leaked information is, I almost hope it’s all fake and Nintendo completely surprises everyone over the next few months. 

There is definitely a leaky warp pipe somewhere within Nintendo right now, as any avid switch gamer already knows, and a new, albeit quite cryptic, rumor suggests a new 2D Zelda game announcement is all but imminent. 

Not all Switch 2 accessories are made equal, some of them look like an actual Piranha Plant that double as a TV docking station for your Switch 2, charges all sorts of joy-Con pairs at the same time, features glow night lighting, and posable arms. 

This morning Nintendo officially revealed the summer release date for the single-player Splatoon Raiders Switch 2 game. Pre-orders are now live on the Nintendo Store, but, perhaps even better is the price – it looks like digital Switch 2 games will indeed be less expensive than physical boxed copies as we suspected. 

Nintendo has just confirmed the Splatoon Raiders release date. This is the next in the long line of Nintendo leaks and rumors to come true – it releases this summer.

The 2026 Nintendo leaks just keep coming. While not nearly as high-profile as the Zelda Ocarina of Time remake or even the rumored upcoming Star Fox game, it looks like Switch 2 will be getting some Marvel superhero action soon too. 

As part of the new My Mario toy and collectible lineup, Nintendo unleashed a FREE Hello, Mario! App on iOS, Android, and the eShop earlier this year, and now the new Hello, Yoshi! edition is live. 

While we are still waiting to see what Nintendo has next for the Switch 2 Game Cube library, the April 2026 NES Nintendo Classics updates and the companion trailer have arrived. And these ones didn’t leak ahead of time, like everything else Nintendo has on is release schedule this year.
