This week’s episode of All Things Nintendo is all about celebrating the first five years of the Nintendo Switch. The anniversary is right around the corner, so Brian invites Game Informer online content director Ben Reeves back to talk about the biggest milestones of the Switch’s first half-decade, as well as share some stories from the last five years covering the system. Note: Brian is out on assignment this week, so this episode was recorded a week early. If any noteworthy news hit over the last week, All Things Nintendo will cover it next week.

We’re pretty lucky when it comes to Switch and Switch 2 mystery games. Between Capcom rereleasing games in the Ace Attorney series and titles like Blue Prince being playable on the systems, there are a lot of opportunities to solve different sorts of puzzles. Path of Mystery: A Brush with Death is Aksys’ latest visual novel with point-and-click elements, and it’s got the same sort of tone and investigative element as the Phoenix Wright games. It’s interesting and the sort of title more people should be talking about. Path of Mystery: A Brush with Death begins with Doppo Akazawa heading…

Capcom’s been big on game collections lately. Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy, Capcom Fighting Collection, Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection, and Monster Hunter Stories Collection all qualify. Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection is the next preservation effort, this time targeting seven DS games. After a few hours with it, it seems like a similar sort of approach to gathering games together as the Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection.  As a quick refresher, Mega Man Star Force Legacy as a series follows a somewhat similar approach to Mega Man Battle Network, in that we’re using cards/chips to determine…

Image via Idea Factory International While sugoroku JRPG games aren’t exactly common, I’m delighted they’re common enough for us to get multiple localizations of them. Idea Factory International brought Calamity Angels: Special Delivery westward. Unfortunately, the gameplay isn’t fleshed out enough to make it feel as captivating as contemporaries like Dokapon. The idea is fun, but playing it can feel tedious. In the fantasy realm of Orkotris, delivery folks belong to their own guild and deliver letters and packages around the country. The couriers’ parties also consist of actual warriors who help get the job done. Players follow Yuri, a…

Image via The Pokemon Company International February 27, 2026 marks the 30th anniversary of the original Pokemon Red and Green games’ debut in Japan, and the Pokemon Presents stream involved a number of reveals tied games and other projects. We knew Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen would debut on the Switch and Switch 2 today, as an example, but there’s more to the celebrations than that. To help better understand what to expect from the next few months and year, here’s a full roundup of the presentation. To make things easier to digest, here’s a list of every reveal that came…

On this week’s episode of All Things Nintendo, Brian is joined by fellow Game Informer editor John Carson to run down all the latest news in the world of Nintendo – and there is a lot this week! Then, Game Informer’s Kimberley Wallace subs in for the final two segments to give her in-depth thoughts about Triangle Strategy, the new tactical RPG from Square Enix, and her picks for Definitive Ranking and eShop Gem of the Week.

BlazBlue Entropy Effect X is 91Act, Astrolabe, and Arc System Works’ attempt to make the original game a little more digestible and coherent and, while it succeeds in some ways, it still isn’t quite there yet. It’s an interesting roguelike along the lines of Astral Ascent, Dead Cells, or Icey filled with folks from the BlazBlue series as playable avatars. There’s tons to do if you want to max out every character. However, the story is still confounding even if you are familiar with the original fighting game and I suspect the Switch might not be the ideal platform.  One…
