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.

It was starting to seem like we might not get a reveal until Summer Game Fest, but it is that time of year and Activision has now officially revealed this year’s Call of Duty release, and it is also releasing on Switch 2. 

It was a long wait for Hollow Knight Silksong (to put it lightly), but it did finally arrive late last year and ever since fans of the series have been clamoring for a physical release. And now, according to a rather reliable source, we finally have a release date for the Switch 2, Xbox, and PS5 editions, alongside a re-release of the original game. 

In today’s games roundup, we are continuing our coverage of the 2026 PlayStation Days of Play sale. While we already featured a collection of top-tier titles at up to 60% in physical boxed form, Sony has also launched a giant digital game sale for those who prefer to side step the shipping times. You’ll find over 2,100 games and DLC add-ons at up to 75% off via the PlayStation Store, many of which are matching the prices we are seeing on the physical titles including Ghost of Yōtei at $49.69 (Reg. $70). Check them all out right here and even more down below. 

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. 

A remake of the beloved Ubisoft platformer has leaked online and is expected to see an official announcement as soon as next week. 

While it’s not the release date for The Witcher 4 you might have been waiting for, CD PROJEKT RED has now officially announced a third expansion for the brilliant Witcher 3 to enjoy in the meantime. 

The 2026 PlayStation Days of Play sale has begun and, alongside a host of deals and new all-time lows on official PlayStation hardware, we are tracking up to 60% off top-tier PlayStation games as well. Walmart and Amazon are delivering deep discounts on loads of physical titles including a rare price drop on Sucker Punch’s gorgeous Ghost of Yotei down at $49.99 shipped right now (30% off) – this one might not last for long so jump on it now if you’re looking to land a copy.

Alongside the ongoing Nintendo Switch 2: Choose Your Game Bundle offer, this morning we are circling back to the Star Fox Switch 2 pre-order deal. Now that we have seen how things went with the physical pre-order deal on the new Yoshi game, we want to make sure this deal is front and center for folks as there is a very good chance it jumps back up to full price as soon as it releases. Now set to launch in just under a month’s time, with the Amazon pre-order price guarantee in place you can be assured you’ll pay the lowest price it drops to between now and the release no matter how much you pay right now. And right now it is sitting down at the lowest we have tracked at $49.94 shipped from the regular $60 list price.

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. 

It is that time of year when the big game publishers start to announce their massive summer game showcases, and Sony has just penciled itself in with the next PlayStation State of Play. 

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.  

The barrage of price hikes continue, and just after Nintendo announced the price of Switch 2 was going up, as well as Switch Online in select regions, Sony is now following suite with PlayStation Plus. 

Are GTA VI preorders going live today? When do Grand Auto 6 preorders start? Well, Best Buy said it was today, but Rockstar has been entirely quiet, and a leaked email suggests the wait continues. 

GTA 6 pre-orders are set to start today, according to Best Buy. We are yet to get official word from Rockstar, according to one of the country’s biggest retailers, the latest entry for one of the biggest games of the last decade will go up for pre-order today ahead of the scheduled fall release date – but we will believe it when we see it.

Just hours after images of Microsoft’s alleged upcoming cloud gaming control leaked online, it appears as though we are also getting an early look at the next-generation Xbox Elite 3 Controller. 

We are quickly approaching the 1-year anniversary of the Nintendo Classics GameCube library on Switch 2.

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.

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. 

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. 

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 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. 

Dbrand has just launched its latest Switch 2 accessory – a ratcheting, articulating Joy-Con holder. The new customizable grip focuses on “the one limitation” in all controller holders – fixed ergonomics. It is available now for $19.95.

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. 

April 26th is Alien Day and the dev team at Creative Assembly just dropped a new teaser for the upcoming Alien Isolation sequel.
