With the Nintendo Switch 2 finally launching in less than a month on June 5, we figured now’s a great time to list off some of the best accessories you can get for the console. We’ve gathered a big list storage, console grips, accessories, controllers, peripherals, games, and more – so if you’re looking to deck out your Switch 2 before you even get it, you’ve come to the right place.
System: Switch
Release date: May 15, 2025
Developer: Out of the Blue Games
Publisher: Raw Fury
What if Walt Disney created the Truman Show? And what if instead of following the life of one man, it chronicled the lives of an entire city? What if the audience could pick and choose which citizens to watch, vote for their favorite “characters,” and create entire social media followings for unassuming victims just living their lives? What if the company running this insulated city could track which of its citizens were the most popular? How far would the company go to maximize their profits, and what might they do to cut costs when certain residents fail to garner any audience attention at all? These questions lay the groundwork for Out of the Blue Games’ American Arcadia.

What makes a ‘good samaritan’? What brings someone to want to help others around them when they already have their own problems that they are dealing with? Galla Games’ brand new title poses the question of: why is kindness so rare? Why are there so few willing to open up and talk about their problems? Despite its characters being largely deceased, Kulebra and the Souls of Limbo is a game full of life with emotional depth that isn’t as paper thin as the inhabitants that roam it’s worlds. Originally a Kickstarter venture that raised an impressive sum of over $24,000, Galla Games had been working on the project for over four years up to that point in 2022, and now, after a lot of passion and hard-work, how has the game turned out?
You might be wondering: isn’t it too early to be thinking about a Xenoblade Chronicles 2 remaster? The answer might surprise you: not really! The original Xenoblade Chronicles released in Japan in 2010, and in America in 2012. It then received a Definitive Edition on Nintendo Switch in 2020. If Xenoblade Chronicles 2 were going to receive a remaster on the same timetable, getting it this year wouldn’t be out of the question. That said, given how Monolith Soft released Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition in March, that clearly isn’t happening. In fact, we think we’ll probably see a Xenoblade Chronicles 4 before a potential Xenoblade Chronicles 2 remaster, but after that, we think it’s possible that the studio will eventually revisit the game. So today, we’re going through a full list of changes we would want to see in a hypothetical Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Definitive Edition on Nintendo Switch 2. There are spoilers ahead, so be warned if you’re still trying to avoid them all these years later.
Nintendo Switch 2 launches on June 5, so we’re less than a month away from release. Compared to other Nintendo console debuts, there will actually be a significant amount of games to choose from immediately.
Nintendo itself will ship Mario Kart World and Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour. There’ll also be the Nintendo Switch 2 Editions of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. Many third-party games will be available, including Cyberpunk 2077, Street Fighter 6, Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster, Split Fiction, Fast Fusion, and more.
Which game – or games – will you be picking up for the Nintendo Switch 2 launch? Maybe you’re someone who’s actually not planning on grabbing anything right away? No matter the case, let us know in the comments.
Previously, we discussed a list of characters we could potentially see in the next Super Smash Bros. game on Nintendo Switch 2. Continuing from that idea, new fighters alone might not be enough to differentiate it from Ultimate, which is part of why we think the next Smash game will be all-new rather than an enhanced port. A new Smash would need to retain Ultimate’s focus on high-quality gameplay and movement options, but it would also have to include plenty of new and returning modes to set itself apart as a wholly different experience from the Nintendo Switch title.
Here are some of the modes and features we’d like to see added to the next Smash Bros. game. While we don’t have an announcement of any sort right now (nor any confirmation that a new game is even in development), one would think that there’ll eventually be an announcement, even if it’s far in the future.

Visual novel fans have been abuzz about The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy.- An impressive list of genre veterans head up the game, with it being written and directed by the creator of Danganronpa, Kazutaka Kodaka, and the creator of Zero Escape, Kotaro Uchikoshi. Originally teased in 2018 as Limit X Despair, it’s been a long seven year wait, but for once, I will not make you wait until the end of this review to tell you what you’ve already been waiting long enough to know: this game is good. Here’s the ‘too long’ part:
A new month started up this week. Now that we’re in May, we want to know what you’ve been playing.
While big releases have slowed a bit as of late, there’s still a ton to play, including on Nintendo Switch. Whether it’s new games, new additions to Nintendo Switch Online, or something else entirely, let us know what you’ve been going through in the comments.
With the release of the Nintendo Switch 2 and Mario Kart World fast approaching, it feels like we know a great deal about the new console and its upcoming launch title. However, what we’re most interested in is what wedon’t know. Has Nintendo revealed the full roster for the game? Or are there a bunch of unlockable characters that won’t be acknowledged until release day? Whichever winds up being the case, we’re here today to look at all the unconfirmed veterans for Mario Kart World. We’ll also be ranking each one based on how likely they are to return.
If you’re deep into the Nintendo discourse sphere online, you might sometimes hear people say “Kirby has no bad games”. And to an extent, that’s definitely true – Kirby’s highs and lows aren’t as far apart compared to other Nintendo franchises. But is it really true that Kirby doesn’t haveanybad games? A “bad game” could mean something different depending on who you talk to. It could mean that the game isn’t fun to play, or it could mean that the game is poor by Kirby standards, but not terrible objectively.
Regardless, today we’re looking at some of the less-loved entries in the Kirby series to see how they hold up today. One thing is true: Kirby doesn’t have any badmain seriesgames. Even Kirby Star Allies, which is regarded as one of the weaker recent titles, isn’t bad – it’s inoffensive at worst. In other words, the Kirby games we’re talking about today aren’t main series games, but the smaller ones that tend to fly under the radar.
