"Sams from all over the world are still delivering."

Nintendo has announced Donkey Kong Bananza, a Switch 2 outing that will serve as DK's first 3D platformer in over 25 years.

Not content to watch Samsung take all the glory, Kingston is reportedly working on a new drive that not only matches the Samsung 9100 Pro’s read speed, but beats its write speed, making it the fastest gaming SSD ever. According to a leak, the new Kingston Fury Renegade G5 can hit a sequential write speed of 14,000MB/s, which would make it the new king of this metric. The best gaming SSD title currently belongs to Samsung, at least if you prioritize raw performance above everything else. In our S...

How do you complete the Shattered Veil main quest in BO6? With the Sentinel Artifact securely secured, it’s time for the team to head over to an old mansion that sits secluded in the woods beyond Liberty Falls. There, they’ll meet up with S.A.M, the synthetic AI system based on Maxis, which could be the key to freeing her. Of course, it wouldn't be a Black Ops 6 Zombies experience if linking up with S.A.M was a simple job. BO6 Season 3 will have you explore a new Zombies map, Shattered Veil, whi...

Just look at all those characters! After giving us a full trailer in today's Switch 2 Direct, Nintendo has now revealed the box art for Mario Kart World, and it's pretty darn delightful. The focus of this one is the racers. Mario takes centre stage, with a host of familiar faces spilling out behind him. Looking closely, it seems there will be a bunch of new characters hitting the track in this one, with a Goomba, Pokey, Biddybud, Mole and Penguin all spotted in their own karts on the cover.

It costs just $8, but Dustland Delivery has the depth and complexity of a mainstream, studio-built RPG. You can see the inspirations. The vehicle and crew management feels like it comes from FTL: Faster Than Light, the washed-out, lawless, apocalyptic world is right out of classic Fallout, and the strategy elements and economy systems owe a lot to SimCity and Factorio. But Dustland Delivery stands on its own merits. One of PC’s true unappreciated gems, if you haven’t played it yet, there’s a gia...

You'd better sit down for this... It's official, the Nintendo Switch 2 is launching on 5th June 2025 at a retail price of $449.99 / €469.99 / £395.99. But how much do the actual games cost? Well, it's a bit complicated. Not really, but it ain't simple. As reported by VGC, Mario Kart World will cost $80 / £75 physically, but will actually be cheaper if you opt for a digital copy. We don't have the US price at the time of writing, but a digital copy in the UK will set you back £66.99.

Paramount Plus released a new teaser trailer for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3 today, raising at least one big mystery right off the bat: Hey, wait a second, how did Pike’s Enterprise get their hands on a holodeck? Invented by the writers of Star Trek: The Next Generation, the holodeck is a piece...

You wouldn't expect it to work, but it does.

The Nintendo Switch didn’t make it easy to let you connect with friends and strangers over the internet. The Switch 2, on the other hand, is fully embracing connectivity. To that end, a stand-up camera will be launched alongside the Switch 2 on June 5 that can be used with its GameChat feature. GameChat functionality...

One thing's clear. The Switch 2 is launching into a very complex environment. Just a look at today's Nintendo Direct, or rather the comments scrolling on the side of the IGN feed over on YouTube. Someone wants a proper 3D Donkey Kong game. Someone else wants Waluigi in Smash. Someone wants Jet Set Radio - I promise that one was not me - someone else wants a full-blown sequel to Twilight Princess.

My words, not Ubisoft's.

There are few games I love more than Enter the Gungeon. It’s easily the roguelike I return to the most, and while Hades 2, Dead Cells, and Slay the Spire have all carved out special places in my heart, it’s the bullet-themed bonanza that I just can’t shake. Color me surprised to learn that Enter the Gungeon 2 isn’t just real, then, but it’s also making a pretty big change to the pixel art stylings of the original game.

Mech my day. Marvelous has shown off more footage of Titanic Scion, a new entry in the Daemon X Machina series, during today's Nintendo Direct. Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion sees players taking to battle in their customisable 'Arsenal' mech and engaging in "fast-paced combat" as they "freely explore a deadly and dangerous open world on land or in the air."

Who is Escoffier in Genshin Impact? As the owner of a popular restaurant, Escoffier is used to supporting other people as she cooks up various meals for her customers. This five-star Cryo, Polearm user utilizes her culinary skills in battle to freeze enemies while healing her allies, making her a must-have character for tackling the most challenging Spiral Abyss tiers. Based on what we’ve seen from the Genshin Impact beta leaks, it looks like Escoffier is set to become one of the best characters...

The Thick Red Line. Nintendo has given us our first official look at what the Switch 2 physical game cases will look like with a peek at the Donkey Kong Bananza box art. We've got to admit, it's a beauty. The art shows our HD hero, DK, pounding into the ground, sending cracks of colourful light up around him and his purple rocky pal. It's yet another look at the brand-new Donkey Kong design that we first caught wind of in the Switch 2 reveal trailer back in January — how about those emotive eyeb...

Chronos-triggered! Supergiant Games dropped the Early Access version of Hades 2 back in October of 2024 on PC - we've been playing a whole bunch of it on that platform - and are thusly well-placed to inform you to get it on your radars! Yep, amidst all the very exciting announcements during Nintendo's Switch 2 Direct, we were positively ecstatic to see Hades 2 pop up, as we reckon to could be a killer action game for on-the-go situations. Have we told you how many hundreds of hours we've played ...

Headfirst into the dungeon. Enter the Gungeon is one of our favourite indie games of the past few years, and so we are popping off with excitement at the news that Enter the Gungeon 2 not only exists, but it's launching on Nintendo Switch 2! As part of the latest Nintendo Direct, we got a brand new reveal trailer for the latest from Dodge Roll Games, which you can check out below, and lo-and-behold they've really went with a big old switch on the art style.

My goodness, Nintendo has packed in a lot of news this afternoon, hasn't it.

One of the few original Switch 2 games shown at today's Direct was Drag x Drive, a sports game that utilises the Joy-Con 2's mouse mode.

Priced 49,980 yen, which is around $333 USD. After the Switch 2 Direct wrapped up, Nintendo put out a press release announcing its pricing in different regions, including Japan. However, it appears that Japanese gamers will have an extra, cheaper option if they're happy to have a Japanese-language-only Switch 2. "The Japanese-Language System" is priced at 49,980 yen (approximately $333.87 USD at the time of writing), versus 69,980 yen ($467.48 USD) for the Multi-Language equivalent, which will o...

The Switch 2 Nintendo Direct has officially come and gone, leaving in its wake some big news about the system and its upcoming games. One of arguably the cutest announcements came courtesy of Kirby Air Riders, a new game from Super Smash Bros. director Masahiro Sakurai. So, while there's sadly no new Smash game on the horizon, you can glide around with Kirby and friends.  Kirby Air Riders comes over two decades after Sakurai designed Kirby Air Ride for the GameCube. Yes, you can now take a momen...

The Nintendo Switch 2 launch lineup has been revealed, and while there's no new 3D Mario game, there are plenty of titles to keep you busy.

In the latest MLPerf Inference V5.0 benchmarks, which reflect some of the most challenging inference scenarios, the NVIDIA Blackwell platform set records — and marked NVIDIA’s first MLPerf submission using the NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 system, a rack-scale solution designed for AI reasoning.

Launches alongside the console. Sega's Yakuza 0 is getting a special Director's Cut on Nintendo Switch 2, it has been confirmed. Described as the "definitive edition of the critically acclaimed origin story" will feature new content for this edition.

Keep updated with this guide from the Big N. As we get more and more exciting details in about the Switch 2, in the wake of what must be one of the more loaded Directs in recent memory, one question you might be asking is, what about all my old games?! Happily, the current situation with compatibility, backwards, forwards, and/or from the side, can be checked out in an online guide that will be updated with info from Nintendo as it puts games through their compatibility paces and testing.

The Switch 2 launch games lineup encompasses a bit more than just a new Mario Kart. When Nintendo formally unveiled the long-rumored Switch 2 in January, there was very little idea of what to expect at launch. Now that the June 5 Switch 2 release date is on the horizon, we have a fuller idea...

On Cloud nine. Square Enix has confirmed that it will be launching Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade on the Nintendo Switch 2. Originally released exclusively for the PS5 with a PC release soon after, there's currently no launch date for the game at the time of writing, but this marks a significant step in Square Enix's new approach to multiformat games. Chances are we'll probably also see Rebirth at some point down the road.

Silksong, the long-awaited to sequel to 2017's Hollow Knight, will arrive later this year, according to a brief sizzle reel Nintendo shared during today's Switch 2 Direct. In fact, the snippet was so short you might have missed it if you blinked, and featured the same section of gameplay we first saw during the game's announcement trailer back in 2019.  Of course this being Silksong we're talking about, I wouldn't count on the game's developer, Team Cherry, sticking to that date until we have th...

Welcome to the party. Gosh, well that was... a lot. We have just finished watching the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, and it's fair to say that it was absolutely jam-packed with upcoming goodness. We got to see a slice of everything! There was a rundown of technical specs, new peripherals, third-party friends (Elden Ring, Street Fighter 6, The Duskbloods) and a bunch of first-party newbies (Mario Kart World, Kirby Air Riders, Donkey Kong Bananza) that already have us itching to get our hands on the h...

Switch 2 might be promising exciting new instalments of classic franchises (like, say, that open-world Mario Kart), but Nintendo's now also confirmed it'll be releasing special enhanced editions of original Switch games featuring higher resolutions, improved frame rates, and more.

All the right moves. In a time when people are crying out for originality from big games developers, Capcom, at least, has been serving up the goods with the likes of Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess. This unique blend of action, strategy and tower defense look, sounds and plays beautifully (we may have already played it on another platform) and it'll be interesting to see how it may - or may not - take advantage of any and all of the new features that the Nintendo Switch 2 will be bringing to ...

Nintendo has released pre-order details for its newly announced Switch 2 console, including how it will reward the most dedicated players with the earliest opportunity to pre-order.
