- [Assassin’s Creed Shadows Nintendo Switch 2 Review](https://www.nintendo-insider.com/assassins-creed-shadows-switch-2-review/): Those who rode the Nintendo Switch roller coaster over the years probably know all about the concept of the so-called "Miracle Port". Basically, they're games making their way over from more powerful hardware that come in well above most expectations. In some important ways, the Nintendo Switch 2 doesn't struggle quite as much as its predecessor did with ports from its more powerful competition. Even so, it's no PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series in terms of power. Thus, it too gets to enjoy the excitement of "Miracle Ports". Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition, Dynasty Warriors: Origins, and Star Wars Outlaws are a few examples on the console of conversions that are punching well above the console's perceived weight. 
- [TCG Card Shop Simulator Out On Nintendo Switch 2 Next Month](https://www.nintendo-insider.com/tcg-card-shop-simulator-out-on-nintendo-switch-2-next-month/): O.P. Neon Games has confirmed a release date for TCG Card Shop Simulator, which is coming to both Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch.

- [Gotta Build ‘Em All – Expanding The LEGO Pokémon SMART Play Sets](https://www.nintendo-insider.com/gotta-build-em-all-expanding-the-lego-pokemon-smart-play-sets/): A few weeks ago, I spent some time with LEGO’s two Pokémon-themed SMART Brick sets, each giving a nice taste of what the company’s newest technological venture would offer to the popular series. Of course, the beauty of the SMART Brick is that it can be used with any compatible sets, with Pokémon receiving ten more in a range of shapes and sizes. So far, I’ve worked my way through five of the ten and thought now might be a good time to evaluate before ploughing on through the remaining half.
- [Riku Appears In Extended Kingdom Hearts 4 Trailer](https://www.nintendo-insider.com/riku-appears-in-extended-kingdom-hearts-4-trailer/): The Walt Disney Company and Square Enix have shared an extended trailer for Kingdom Hearts 4, shown during the Deep Dive Into Kingdom Hearts panel at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event this weekend.

- [Yasmine Gets Street Fighter 6 Year 4 Off To A Decent Start ](https://www.nintendo-insider.com/yasmine-gets-street-fighter-6-year-4-off-to-a-decent-start/): Nintendo Switch 2 owners have had to catch up on a lot when it comes to Street Fighter 6. Arriving alongside the launch of the console, Street Fighter 6 was thankfully made available with a handy pack that included the first two packs of DLC characters. Not long after that, the Year 3 DLC started to roll out. A little over a year later, we now have Year 4 getting going. Serious fans of the game are probably grabbing things as they come out, even if only the character packs. How about for everyone else, though? Does Year 4 look to measure up to past offerings? We don't have much to go on yet as only the initial salvo is upon us, but let's have a look at it anyway.

- [The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered Nintendo Switch 2 Review](https://www.nintendo-insider.com/the-elder-scrolls-iv-oblivion-remastered-nintendo-switch-2-review/): The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion was not the first game in the series to hit home consoles. Morrowind beat it to the punch when it released on the original Xbox in 2002. Oblivion is, however, the game that made the Elder Scrolls series a big deal on consoles, the way it had been for a long time on home computers. Its huge success was dwarfed by its sequel's world-beating run, but there are many players out there whose first port of call in Tamriel was via Oblivion. Last year, the game received a remaster on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and Windows. They've had to wait a little while longer, but Nintendo Switch 2 owners can now have their own adventures in Cyrodiil via this port of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered.

- [Blue Reflection: Quartet Nintendo Switch 2 Review](https://www.nintendo-insider.com/blue-reflection-quartet-nintendo-switch-2-review/): If you're someone who only does their gaming on Nintendo platforms, you would likely only be familiar with Blue Reflection via Blue Reflection: Second Light's release on the original Nintendo Switch. Developed by Gust, the series consists of two full-sized console RPGs, an anime that bridges the story of those two games, and a mobile gacha game that was not exactly a big success. All of the games are built around an all-girls high school setting where high schoolers-turned-magical girls help people deal with their emotional problems by beating up monsterized manifestations of said issues. You know, the usual.

- [Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Review](https://www.nintendo-insider.com/xenoblade-chronicles-2-nintendo-switch-2-edition-review/): Third time's the charm? The quest to release Switch 2 Edition versions of all of the Xenoblade games released on the Switch hits its penultimate effort with Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Nintendo Switch 2 Edition. Of the four Nintendo Switch Xenoblade Chronicles releases, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is the oldest of the lot. Released in the first year of the console's life, it impressed many players with its scale and thrilling story. As a result of its age, it also has the most technical issues of the Xeno-lot. That means it stands to gain the most from this glow-up, at least in terms of performance. 
- [Lies of P: Complete Edition Nintendo Switch 2 Review](https://www.nintendo-insider.com/lies-of-p-complete-edition-switch-2-review/): I’ve been playing Souls games since I was a teenager. It’s been surprising to see it blossom from an experimental niche to a gaming mainstay, especially in the 2020s, where it feels like “Souls-like” is now a genre itself. I’ve been buying every game FromSoftware has released since Dark Souls II came out, but if I’m going to be honest, I’ve never finished them. I’ll get really invested, but always fall off around halfway through for various reasons. I think the closest I’ve ever gotten is Elden Ring, but even then, I just stopped being invested once I hit a wall and had other things to do in life. I’ve always wanted to find one of these games that could get me to hit credits. I think I finally have. Lies of P: Complete Edition is what I’ve been looking for. 
- [How To Unlock The New Pyra And Mythra Costumes In Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Nintendo Switch 2 Edition](https://www.nintendo-insider.com/how-to-unlock-the-new-pyra-and-mythra-costumes-in-xenoblade-chronicles-2-nintendo-switch-2-edition/): Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Nintendo Switch 2 Edition is here, and with it, the chance to unlock new outfits for Pyra and Mythra.

- [How To Unlock MOMO In Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Nintendo Switch 2 Edition](https://www.nintendo-insider.com/how-to-unlock-xenosaga-momo-in-xenoblade-chronicles-2-nintendo-switch-2-edition/): Beyond its performance improvements, new Merc Assault mode and new Pyra and Mythra styles, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Nintendo Switch 2 Edition introduces the chance for you to unlock MOMO from Xenosaga as a new Rare Blade.

- [Heave Ho 2 Nintendo Switch 2 Review](https://www.nintendo-insider.com/heave-ho-2-switch-2-review/): The original Heave Ho was an excellent surprise for me and my family. We often play games together on Sunday nights, and I usually recruit them for any multiplayer game reviews I need to take care of in the week ahead. There are winners and losers in this kind of affair, and it doesn't typically take all that long for each game to reveal which of the two it is. My son's quite good with games and my wife is far more casual, so finding a game that pleases everyone is relatively uncommon. Outside of Overcooked, nothing we have played has generated as much joy for everyone involved as Heave Ho did. Hey, here's a sequel!
- [“We Do Have Plans For It” – Dave The Diver Director Jaeho Hwang On Releasing The Guilty Gear DLC On More Platforms, The State of The Game, The Possibility of Cross Save, Switch Optimization Challenges, Coffee And More](https://www.nintendo-insider.com/dave-the-diver-interview-2026-guilty-gear-strive-dlc-jungle-expansion-switch-1-2-edition/): Following the recent launch of the Dave the Diver In The Jungle expansion, we had a chance to chat with Head of Mintrocket and Dave the Diver Director Jaeho Hwang about the state of the game, why they did an expansion, whether the Guilty Gear Strive DLC will be made available to other platforms, the 50hz Unity engine issue, potentially adding cross save, coffee, and more.

- [Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster Nintendo Switch 2 Review](https://www.nintendo-insider.com/final-fantasy-x-x-2-hd-remaster-switch-2-review/): As I write this review, the original PlayStation 2 release of Final Fantasy X just rang in its 25th anniversary in Japan. This Nintendo Switch 2 version of Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster has obviously been timed to coincide with this momentous milestone, offering an opportunity to help it stand out from other recent Square Enix Switch 2 ports of a similar nature. Still, it's as good an opportunity as any to talk a little about these games and what they meant for a franchise that had been flying high but would soon find itself stalling out. Final Fantasy X, in a lot of ways, is the end of the beginning and the beginning of the end, if you'll allow me to be a little poetic.
- [Splatoon Raiders Review](https://www.nintendo-insider.com/splatoon-raiders-review/): Like many, Splatoon 3 felt to me like a game that was certainly a lot of fun, but at the same time rather familiar. Its campaign was solid, but familiar. Its multiplayer proved to be an easy way to watch a single 3-minute round morph into ten 3-minute rounds, though again, the rounds themselves were very familiar. That isn’t to say that Splatoon 3 was bad – far from it, in fact – but instead was the first time in the series that I’d be left yearning for a new direction. Something different.
- [R-Type Dimensions III Nintendo Switch 2 Review](https://www.nintendo-insider.com/r-type-dimensions-iii-switch-2-review/): What can really be said about the original R-Type that hasn't been said a million times before? It's one of the all-time classics of the shoot 'em up genre, both popular and influential in equal measures. Many games have done their best to walk in the footsteps of the game, but very few have matched it. That, unfortunately, is a statement that also applies to its own sequels. Sometimes you just get it right the first time out. Still, you can generally look forward to a good time with any R-Type game. That should have been the case for R-Type Dimensions III, a remake of the Super NES-born third entry in the franchise.
- [You Can Participate In The Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 Open Beta On Nintendo Switch 2](https://www.nintendo-insider.com/you-can-participate-in-the-call-of-duty-modern-warfare-4-open-beta-on-nintendo-switch-2/): Activision Blizzard has confirmed that you can participate in the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 Open Beta Weekend on Nintendo Switch 2 next month.

- [LEGO Pokémon SMART Play Sets Review](https://www.nintendo-insider.com/lego-pokemon-smart-play-sets-review/): 2026 may as well be named the year of Pokémon when it comes to the world of LEGO, what with a trio of adult-sized sets releasing back in late February and plenty more to arrive later in August. I’ve been lucky enough to go hands-on with the company’s latest and most ambitious venture yet, its SMART Brick. We’ve seen them in action with the Star Wars brand already, but later this summer, builders will get a further dozen, these revolving around Pokémon.

- [Digimon Story Time Stranger Nintendo Switch 2 Review](https://www.nintendo-insider.com/digimon-story-time-stranger-switch-2-review/): I'll confess something right away: I'm not a Digimon fan. I have no strong feelings one way or the other for Digimon. It hit after I had already graduated high school, and all my memories of it come down to catching the cartoon on TV once in a while and the cover of Kids in America that Canadian band Len did for the movie soundtrack. Just a "wrong place, wrong time" situation for me. That applied to the games as well until a friend of mine vigorously recommended a PlayStation Vita game in the series called Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth. Seriously, he was pushing it hard. I hesitantly picked it up and found it to be quite a good game all-around. Maybe there was hope for Digimon and me?

- [Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate Edition Nintendo Switch 2 Review](https://www.nintendo-insider.com/cyberpunk-2077-ultimate-edition-switch-2-review/): Waiting is never a fun thing in and of itself. It's especially hard when it comes to cool-looking games releasing on other platforms that you may or may not own. Now, there are obvious reasons why people who play exclusively on Nintendo hardware had to wait to play Cyberpunk 2077. Back in 2020 when the game debuted, the Switch 2 was but a sparkle in Nintendo engineers' imaginations. The original Switch may have played host to a somewhat miraculous port of The Witcher 3, but there was no reasonable way to bring even a moderately acceptable version of Cyberpunk 2077 to that hardware. No, Cyberpunk 2077 would have to wait until the Nintendo Switch 2 arrived, regardless of anyone's wishes.
