While we wait for the update for Episodes 2 and 3, Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition is already available, and here’s our video of the first 30 minutes. The game features a number of improvements, such as 4K 60fps in TV mode, as well as 1080p 60fps in handheld mode. We also appreciate the arrival of the Turbo Jet, a new vehicle for exploring the world much more quickly which will be available from Chapter 4, as well as new equipment for each playable character.

It’s been six years since SnowRunner opened the doors to the extreme off-road simulator for the general public thanks to Saber Interactive, and the game is now also available in a dedicated Switch 2 version, which offers greater detail and less noticeable pop-in at no additonal cost if you already own the Switch version. The frame rate remains locked at 30 frames per second though, but given the game’s very slow pace, this isn’t really a problem. We must still point out that, while the visuals in handheld mode are quite pleasing, once the console is docked and displayed on a 4K screen, the experience falls far short of what PC versions were capable of in 2020, with image quality remaining very soft overall, despite of the 1440p output resolution. This does not detract from the game’s many strengths, however, as it also offers lots of content to keep you busy for a while.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is now available on Nintendo Switch 2, so here are the first 30 minutes of the game captured in 4K.

If you're wondering why we're talking about NODE, a game originally released in August 2025, it's because it recently received a free update that now lets you play it as a cinematic platformer. Originally, the game's premise involved selecting a list of commands to move a little robot and make it interact correctly with its environment. The game thus approached the puzzle aspect a bit differently, and the reception on Steam was generally positive. Adding a “platformer” mode was a good idea, especially since the game has a great atmosphere and equally impressive lighting effects and visuals, but since the robot can move across two planes and visibility is far from satisfactory, you end up struggling with the controls too often for it to feel enjoyable and natural. Check out the very beginning of the adventure in this video, here in its PC version.

NBA The Run was released yesterday and it was carrying high hopes for fans nostalgic for NBA JAM and NBA Street. However, for us, it came as a bit of a letdown. For starters, the developers’ decision to offer only online matches is clearly disappointing for anyone who would have liked to play solo or with friends on the same couch. Then there’s the lack of a training mode to learn the basics of team play, since you can only practice with one player only. Finally, from what we’ve seen so far, it doesn't feel that Play By Studios’ title offers enough depth and precision to make us want to dive into it seriously. These are just our very first impressions, of course, but we’d rather warn you that we weren’t all that excited by the the game in its current state.
