While the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max are not expected to launch for another seven months or so, there are already plenty of rumors about the devices. It was initially reported that iPhone 18 Pro models would have fully under-screen Face ID, with only a front camera visible in the top-left corner of the screen. However, the latest rumors indicate that the devices will have only partially under-screen Face ID, which will result in a narrower Dynamic Island area. Below, we have recapped 12...

What a sight. If you happened to miss the wonderful Paranormasight: The Seven Mysteries of Honjo for the Switch, then now might be time to dive in. It's been announced that the underrated gem will be getting a sequel later this month on 19th February 2026. Titled Paranormasight: The Mermaid's Curse, the game seems to feature similar mechanics to the original in that it's primarily a visual novel but with some neat little twists and turns to keep you on your feet.

Right, any game that looks like you let the artisans from Studio Ghibli or Cowboy Bebop makers Sunrise make a Daft Punk video is immediately going to pique my curiosity. Layer on some puzzle-heavy, playful-looking co-op gameplay, and you've got my attention. Tell me I can play it with my partner, across two Switches, for the entry price of just the one game, and I'm sold. Day one with bells on.

To infinity... After catching our eye at The Game Awards last year, we were delighted to see more of Orbitals in today's Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase, particularly with a 'Summer 2026' window attached to it. In case you missed this one back in December, Orbitals is a co-op-only space adventure from Japanese indie dev Shapefarm and Keplar Interactive. It appears to carry many of the same puzzle platforming head-scratchers as something like It Takes Two, with its split-screen abilities promisi...

The Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase in February 2026 may not have brought insight into what first party games are arriving on the Nintendo Switch 2, but it did give us a great look at what third party games are coming to the console in 2026.

One in a Millennium. It might have one of the most forgettable titles out there, but Square Enix's The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales is still looking gorgeous. What's more, it has finally picked up a Switch 2 release date. The HD-2D adventure cropped up in today's Partner Showcase with an 18th June release date attached — and remember, there's still a free demo on the eShop to check out before then.

Retro PC game sellers GOG have faced criticism recently for using a piece of artwork made using AI tools to promote their store's new year sale. The storerunners have since claimed that this banner was a work-in-progress asset which slipped through onto the store by mistake. Now, the platform's managing director has revealed that the company are "not planning on making absolute statements in either direction" in terms of their future AI use, following the backlash.

We already knew - or at least strongly suspected, thanks to a couple of leaks - Bethesda would have a big presence during Nintendo's latest Partner Direct showcase, but it turns out the studio had a little more up its sleeve than just Fallout and Indiana Jones. It's now confirmed that last year's The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered is coming to Switch 2.

Sweet (roll). Bethesda closed out today's Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase with a trio of announcements, but it was the final surprise that really got us excited.

We don't have a precise release date outside of '2026' just yet, but hey, it's confirmation!
