The Switch 2 is finally here, and so are its various launch titles. But unlike the launch of the Switch 1 — which saw everyone and their mother eagerly diving into Breath of the Wild — the Switch 2 isn’t launching alongside a massive new RPG from a beloved Nintendo franchise. It is, however, launching alongside a massive RPG: Cyberpunk 2077. Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition is the only non-Nintendo RPG...
Plenty of existing Nintendo games are getting an upgrade for Switch 2, but few of them are benefitting nearly as much as Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. The open-world game released on Switch 1 in a haggard state that defied the capabilities of the technologically challenged console. Now that the Switch 2 is here, things are looking much better, literally. That’s good news for anyone who likes hunting for Pokémon with...
Nintendo Switch 2 is here, and if you’re a Nintendo fan (and, more importantly, a Switch owner), you probably have a bunch of well-used original Switch controllers. After testing controllers using my own Switch 2, the good news is that you can use almost all of your original Switch controller hardware on Switch 2, with a few exceptions. There is some hardware incompatibility, but little that would prevent you from...

Switch 2 launch is upon us, and the moment is unfolding smoother than expected in some areas — and outright chaos in others. On the extreme end of things, some new Switch 2 owners were dismayed to find that their hardware was ruined instantly after purchasing it. Some retailers, like GameStop, saw instances of employees stapling the receipt straight on the box, thereby puncturing the Switch 2 screen. Awful. Some...
IO Interactive showed off the debut trailer for its James Bond game, 007 First Light, during Sony’s State of Play on Wednesday, with a brief outline of the Bond prequel’s story and IOI’s take on the series’ action. The 007 First Light trailer reveal follows IO’s announcement of the James Bond game’s name a few days prior, and comes ahead of the studio’s planned gameplay reveal as part of Summer...
Nintendo Switch 2 will launch with 256 GB of internal storage — eight times the storage size of the original Switch. But some portion of that advertised 256 GB of storage is gobbled up by the Switch 2’s system software, meaning users won’t have access to the entire amount. That’s typical of virtually any device; the software required to run applications like the interface, GameChat, and Nintendo eShop needs storage...
The Revenant’s Remembrance quest in Elden Ring Nightreign might not be as involved as the some of the other quests (like, says, the Duchess‘), but it gives the Revenant some of her best relics. There’s also a fair bit of character lore about how the Revenant came to be a sentient doll with a trio of ghosts for family. You’ll have to challenge and defeat a couple of Nightreign‘s main...
The Raider’s Remembrance quests in Elden Ring Nightreign take on a different form compared to the Recluse‘s and Duchess‘.

There’s a bit less lore in this set of quests, but you get some excellent relics for the Raider. This in-progress Elden Ring Nightreign guide includes a Raider Remembrance quest walkthrough, including how to start...
