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…

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…

The Virtual Boy Nintendo Classics games for Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack owners who bought one of the two peripherals are live and work about exactly as you expect. You need to go ahead and jam your eyeholes right up against the system to start playing seven launch games. While needing to own one of those peripherals that resemble or function like the original device is a bummer and added expense, what is here right now can sometimes be enlightening, impressive, or some mix of the two. It’s definitely an appreciated move in terms of game preservation. So, let’s go…

Death Howl is one of those unique strategic roguelikes that someone could play for 15 minutes for five hours straight, and it means the Switch version couldn’t come soon enough. I thoroughly enjoyed this brutal game when I played it on the PC. But there’s something about the nature of it that makes the gameplay loop and narrative beats feel highlighted so well here. As a quick refresher, Death Howl is a strategic roguelike with a nearly monochromatic kinds of color palettes and melancholy story. Based on Scandinavian folklore, we follow a grieving mother named Ro searching the other side…
