Nintendo announced Tuesday that Switch 2 exclusive Drag x Drive — the company’s wheelchair basketball game that shows off the system’s mouse controls — will arrive on Aug. 14. That’s the same day another kind-of-a-big-deal sports game, Madden NFL 26, lands on Switch 2. The release date of Drag x Drive is also providing a little more color about what’s left for Switch 2 in 2025, and what Nintendo’s release cadence...

Xbox and Meta have teamed up to release the Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition, which the companies say is the first-ever limited-edition Quest headset.

A heat wave is cooking much of the United States this week, bringing high temperatures to millions of people from the Midwest to the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast, and prompting health warnings across multiple states. As record-breaking temps are expected to affect North America and Europe this summer — it may be the second-hottest summer on record — be mindful of playing your Switch 2 (as well as your Steam Deck or other...

For video games, the summer season kicker off with a double-header: the release of the Nintendo Switch 2, smack amid the three-day slew of game reveals that comprise Summer Game Fest (and its surrounding press conferences). But the most exciting games of the summer aren’t all Switch 2 ports or massive studio tentpoles. In fact, it’s the smaller games — the indies and the AA gems — that have captured...

It has been six years since Ring Fit Adventure, the Nintendo Switch fitness game that asked players to defeat monsters (and a sexy dragon) through exercise. The workout game used the Joy-Cons’ accelerometers to measure your movements and translate them into fitness attacks on screen. It’s weird, it’s wacky, but it worked. I played quite a bit of Ring Fit during the COVID-19 lockdown. What can I say: Nintendo kept...

28 Weeks Later Nearly 22 years after Danny Boyle shook up the zombie genre with 28 Days Later, the director makes a return to the saga of the infested with this week’s 28 Years Later.

A lead can prove temporary as the game regales everyone else some of its most powerful items, many of which will be aimed directly at the front of the pack.

It’s been a long, protracted journey for Fortnite’s return to iPhone, as developer Epic Games fought for the right to offer consumers more options on how to spend their money in-game (and make more money in the process). For five years, the world’s biggest game disappeared from its its most popular platform in an unprecedented move that set the stage for one of gaming’s tensest legal battles. Now that it’s...

Since time immemorial, the axiom’s been that you buy a Nintendo console to play Nintendo games. Third-party games made by other publishers are worthwhile, but typically those are the sorts of experiences you can find on other platforms as well.
