Coverage
Latest Nintendo Switch stories, releases and platform updates.
The Legend of Zelda
A new Zelda rumor says Nintendo and Grezzo may be preparing another 2D entry for 2027, and this one could put Ganondorf in the spotlight. The claim is specific enough to get attention, but Nintendo has not announced the project.
Civilization
Firaxis and 2K will release Civilization VII’s free Test of Time update on May 19. The update adds Time-Tested Civs, reworks Victories and replaces Legacy Paths with Triumphs.
Super Smash Bros
A new claim from Kiwi Talkz says another Super Smash Bros. project could arrive within the next two years. Nintendo has not announced a new Smash game, so the 2027 or 2028 window remains firmly in rumour territory.
The Legend of Zelda
The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap now has an experimental native PC build for Windows and Linux. It is playable, but still rough, with missing audio and a player-owned ROM required.
Huntdown
This week's most interesting new releases lean into personality, from a cozy-punk record shop and a chainsaw parkour game to Shiro's co-op RPG, a dice city builder and a crab evolution roguelite. Here are the games worth keeping on your radar from May 4 to May 10, 2026.
Planet of Lana
Story Kitchen is trying to get a Planet of Lana movie going, according to comments from co-founder Mike Goldberg. The adaptation effort appears to be early, not a confirmed greenlit film.
Mega Man

Roundup
This week's new trailer run brings Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 to PS VR2, sets up Warhammer 40,000: Speed Freeks for consoles and gives NBA The Run, Aphelion, Dungeon Clawler and more room to show what they are actually selling.
Apex Legends
Apex Legends Season 29 is adding death box respawns, giving squads a new way to bring teammates back after a fight. The Overclocked update launches May 5 with healing and health bar changes too.
Super Mario
