Nintendo Releases Update for Switch That Adds Data Transfer to Switch 2 April 30, 2025
Posted by Maniac in Game News.add a comment
Nintendo Switch owners lucky enough to get their hands on a preorder for a Switch 2 should power on their OG consoles right now because Nintendo has just released a free update for them. The new system software, version 20.0, adds a bunch of new features but in our opinion the most important new feature is the ability to transfer your Switch’s internal save data to a brand-new Switch 2.
Nintendo is currently offering two methods of performing a Switch to Switch 2 transfer through their new feature. The first would be to do a direct Switch to Switch 2 transfer, the other is to tell your Switch to save all your data to their cloud service for later retrieval on the Switch 2. This second option would be useful for gamers who plan to sell or trade their Nintendo Switch before getting their hands on the new Switch 2. In both cases this process is irreversible, and once concluded your original Switch will reset to factory settings.
This is a much welcome feature, and I’m happy Nintendo is offering it to gamers. While Nintendo has offered system transfer options in the past, including from Wii to Wii U, as well as DSi to 3DS, their offerings for Switch to Switch transfer has been disappointing. It is nice to see this added at the right time so we can be ready for when the new console launches.

We are days away from the release of my most anticipated new fighting game, Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves. Not a lot of you may be familiar with this franchise, as the first games released back in its earliest days required the power of the Neo Geo arcade platform to fully enjoy, but this fighting game has a strong story canon.
Yesterday, as part of a major marketing push which included a preview of the game at WRESTLEMANIA 41, SNK has released this important video on the game’s current backstory! It’s a great refresher for returning players as well as a good introduction to new ones! Check it out!
Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves is coming Thursday to PS4, Xbox Series X/S, PS5 and PC.

Star Wars Jedi Survivor – Cal Kestis Lightsaber Review April 16, 2025
Posted by Maniac in Reviews, Site Videos.add a comment
When Galaxy’s Edge first opened at Disneyland and Walt Disney World, a shop opened which sold high-quality replica lightsabers from the original Star Wars films. Since it opened, multiple polls showed that the most requested NEW lightsaber fans wished to purchase at Galaxy’s Edge was the lightsaber which belonged to the Jedi Cal Kestis from the multiplatform video game Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order.
The original lightsaber of Cal Kestis was pulled from sale within Galaxy’s Edge for some unknown reason, but recently it has gotten a pretty decent re-release bundled with several useful accessories. We were able to find it at Tattooine Traders, the gift shop adjacent to the original Star Tours ride at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
What can this lightsaber do? What does it come with? Is it worth the price of $240US? Take a watch for yourself and judge!
Star Wars: Jedi Survivor is out now for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.

The new update, depending on your device, could weigh in between 250-550MB. At the time of writing, there does not appear to be an Apple Watch update. We have not tested if Vision Pro has gotten an update or not.
