Nintendo has officially released Starfox for the Nintendo Switch 2! This is an official remake of the classic Super Nintendo game based on the legendary Nintendo 64 version featuring superior graphics and gameplay enhanced for the Joy-Con 2 controllers. Personally, I remember spending several wonderful Saturday afternoons playing the N64 game (with rumble) with my close friends, and thought that this game was without a doubt one of the most immersive 3D titles of its time. While I never got a Nintendo 64 of my own, I did own a GameCube, and played through all of the sequel Starfox Adventures. I also played the game on the Wii’s Virtual Console and the 3D version for Nintendo 3DS.
To celebrate the latest Starfox release, Nintendo released this official trailer for the game!
Starfox is out now exclusively for the Nintendo Switch 2.

As is customary, Apple always starts WWDC with a keynote address intended to reveal their biggest new upcoming features, and today was no different.

We know that Microsoft owns a major component of the gaming industry, mostly with their publisher buyouts and acquisitions. However, the Xbox platform has failed to gain traction this generation, and it has been expected that Microsoft may release some of their major titles to third-party platforms such as the PS5 or Switch 2 in order to recoup development costs. That speculation ended yesterday.
Yesterday, Microsoft released their Xbox Games Showcase, where they highlighted a dozen new titles (between new games, previously announced games, and expansion packs for existing titles) that will be coming to the Xbox platform. The most hyped game from this video remains Gears of War E-Day, which will be releasing this fall exclusive on Microsoft’s platforms.
If you’re interested in seeing what is coming to Xbox or want to see an extended preview of the next Gears of War, you need to give this a watch.
All games announced will be coming to the Xbox Series X/S.

Today is a massive anniversary! Forty years ago today, the very first Dragon Quest game was released in Japan for the 8-bit Nintendo console. Created by Yuji Horii with art from A. Toriyama, Dragon Quest set the standard for Japanese (or if you prefer, console) Role Playing Games.
On the anniversary of the release, the team on Square Enix who has been tasked with making the next mainline title in the Dragon Quest series has released this video….alongside a few more goodies! Let’s take a look:
That’s not all! We also got an official announcement that Dragon Quest XI Definitive Edition is coming to the Nintendo Switch 2! Sadly there does not appear to be an upgrade option for current owners of the original Switch version.
Reports are also coming in of exclusive bonuses for players of the new Dragon Quest Smash/Grow mobile game as well!
However you choose to celebrate this momentous day, make sure to enjoy yourselves!
