Leaker claims Rockstar is readying Grand Theft Auto 6 Switch 2 Edition

Nintendo officially acknowledged the long-rumored Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake and even capped off its big June Direct with a short teaser. We know the game is real, we know it is scheduled to release this year, but we haven’t seen any gameplay or official confirmation on the price from Nintendo. But if a recent leak is indeed the real thing, retailers are already listing the game at a lower price than what I think most folks would expect. 

Alongside a host of ongoing hangover Prime Day deals and some additional Switch 1 and 2 game discounts we spotted yesterday, Amazon is now offering the The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition down at $48.99 in digital form right now. This is a regularly $70 package that includes the enhanced base game alongside the new ZELDA NOTES feature, “voice-assisted navigation to find elusive shrines and Koroks,” and the new Voice Memories – “stories from Princess Zelda that were not in the original game…as you visit certain locations around Hyrule.” It is now 30% off and sitting at a new Amazon all-time low.

Nintendo Direct live today with deep dive look at upcoming Switch 2 exclusive Splatoon Raiders

Leaker claims Rockstar is readying Grand Theft Auto 6 Switch 2 Edition

The next Nintendo Direct goes live this morning with a dedicated look at the upcoming Splatoon Raiders. The Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive takes the ink blasting in a new direction with a single-player focused adventure and we will more than likely get a more in-depth look at what it’s all about this morning before being treated to some livestream gameplay action from the Nintendo Treehouse team. 

The next Nintendo Direct goes live tomorrow morning folks. During the major summer Direct earlier this month, Nintendo announced it would take the virtual stage once again for a dedicated showcase ahead of its next first-party Switch release and that day is quickly approaching. 

The official Prime Day Switch game deals are technically over now, but we are tracking a host of notable hangover deals. Woot has now updated its Summer of Gaming sale with fresh deals on titles like Kirby and the Forgotten Land + Star-Crossed World Switch 2 Edition, Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Party Jamboree, and others, alongside Amazon low pricing on newer Switch 2 releases like Kirby Air Riders and Mario Tennis Fever. But we also wanted to highlight Woot’s new offer on Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 down at $49.99 Prime shipped(carries a $70 list price).

Leaker claims Rockstar is readying Grand Theft Auto 6 Switch 2 Edition

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. 

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)

Nintendo officially reveals Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time remake for Switch 2

Play the tutorial and first campaign mission in the new Star Fox Switch 2 game for FREE now

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.
