Pokémon Day 2026 is set to be a major one and the festivities have already began with a major Nintendo Switch announcement this morning and confirmation of next Friday’s Pokémon Presents showcase.

Now just one week away from the 2026 Pokémon Day festivities, the official anniversary Pokémon Presents show has been announced, and today Nintendo is helping to kick things off early with the announcement that Pokémon FireRed Version and Pokémon LeafGreen Version are releasing on Nintendo Switch very soon.  

Nintendo just revealed the Xenoblade Chronicles X Switch 2 Edition launch trailer on its official YouTube channel and via the Nintendo Today! app. The digital version of the game is available today.

While we are still tracking a host of ongoing Presidents Day Switch game deals at Amazon and elsewhere live down below, Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 has just hit its best price ever on Amazon as of this morning. Regularly $70, you can now land proper U.S. physical copy of this one for Switch library down at $59 shipped – this deal is also live at Walmart now as well. While we have been tracking this same price over at Woot for a U.S. copy, this is the first time we have tracked the game down this low directly on Amazon. Head below for more hangover Presidents Day game deals.

While you might want to just go score the new God of War Sons of Sparta at $29.99 in digital form via the PS Store, there are a host of ongoing deals up for grabs. We are also adding the Meal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Collector’s Edition down at $89.99 Prime shipped (Reg. $200) in celebration of the MGS Collection Vol. 2 reveal and even more down below. 

PlayStation State of Play: God of War Remake Trilogy, John Wick game, Castlevania, Metal Gear, much more

Alongside a new John Wick game, Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse, the new Metal Gear Solid Collection Vol. 2, and more, Sony also has some God of War news for us (finally). Not only has it officially confirmed a new God of War Greek trilogy remake is in development, but it also revealed and released the new God of War Sons of Sparta. 

Earlier this week Sony officially announced when its first major State of Play showcase of 2026 would be, and that day has arrived. Throughout the year we get our fair share of these things, some far less special than others, and while we aren’t sure exactly what’s on the slate this afternoon, all signs point to this being a serious showcase. 

We were lucky enough to attend a private hands-on Nintendo event to try out the new Mario Tennis Fever, among other things. You can scope out the details in our video coverage below, but Nintendo has also just released the game’s opening cinematic to get you hyped to hit the court later this week. 

Sony has now taken to the official PlayStation Blog to officially announce the next State of Play game showcase, and it sounds like it’s going to be a big one. 

Happy Nintendo Direct day folks. Nintendo is set to host its first Partner Showcase of the year to give folks a solid 30 minutes of upcoming Switch and Switch 2 games this morning and to celebrate we are highlighting a host of notable Switch 1 and 2 game deals live at Amazon, Woot, and elsewhere. Head below for a closer look.

Nintendo officially confirmed this week’s Nintendo Direct showcases yesterday, and it is set to go live this morning. Rumors and predictions pointed at an official livestream hitting the airwaves in the first week of February and that it very much is, with a full 30-minutes of updates on upcoming Switch and Switch 2 games. 

Rumor had it we would be getting the next Nintendo Direct this week, and Nintendo has now confirmed as much. The next Nintendo Direct will go live tomorrow at the usual time. Details below. 

While we await the next title to land in the coveted GameCube library, and just after getting a chance to get an early hands-on look at the new Virtual Boy, Nintendo has just officially revealed a Switch Online February 2026 update with a pair of new additions to the Game Boy library. 

Sony is finally ready to give us our first look at MLB The Show 26 gameplay today, and pre-orders are now live ahead of release on on March 17. It has also announced that you can “receive 10% off your Digital Deluxe Edition pre-order if you have purchased any digital version of MLB The Show that’s been released since MLB The Show 21.” Details below.

We were recently lucky enough to attend a private Nintendo event in NYC to try out some the latest releases landing on Switch/Switch 2 this year, and we filmed it all for you. From the new Virtual Boy Nintendo Classics platform and its accompanying hardware through to the upcoming Mario Tennis Fever release and more, hit the jump to watch us go hands-on with Nintendo’s latest. 

Today we are featuring a couple of notable third-party Switch 2 games with Yakuza 0: Director’s Cut back down at the $29.83 Prime shipped Amazon all-time low and a solid discount on Cronos down at $35.63 shipped. Regularly $60, this “brutal third-person survival horror,” is now roughly $10 under our previous mention and within a few bucks of the best it has ever been offered for on Amazon. Hit the jump or more ongoing Switch game deals. 

Nintendo debuts new Virtual Boy overview trailer, launch date/game lineup 

Nintendo’s new Talking Flower now available via Amazon at $35 Prime shipped

Alongside the holiday PlayStation 5 Flowering Chaos Bundles with $100 in savings still rolling, Sony has now taken to the official PlayStation Blog to reveal next month’s PlayStation Plus monthly FREE games. 

Alongside a host of ongoing Switch deals in the Woot Mega Game sale, it has also brought back a pair of its first-party discounts on some Switch 2 titles. If you’re somehow still looking for a copy of Mario Kart World it is seeing a nearly 15% price drop right now at $69while the enhanced Switch 2 Edition of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is also now over 15% off at$59 – shipping is free on both for Prime members (a $6 delivery fee will apply otherwise). While these deals don’t seem all that deep, price drops on these two Switch 2 editions have been hard to come by. And for some party fun, scope out this deal on Everybody 1-2 Switch! while it’s down at just $9.99 Prime shipped. You’ll find everything else down below.

Nintendo’s new Talking Flower now available via Amazon at $35 Prime shipped

Here we go! Check out the new Super Mario Galaxy Movie trailer

While this weekend was all about the Super Mario Galaxy Movie Nintendo Direct and getting our first look at Yoshi, not to mention the new Talking Flower going up for pre-order via Amazon at $35, this week it’s Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream. Nintendo has announced the next Direct livestream and it is set to go live in a few day’s time. 

If you are, for some reason, one of the only folks out there with a Switch 2 that doesn’t have a copy of Animal Crossing: New Horizons, you might want to consider this deal. Nintendo just recently released the Switch 2 Edition alongside some additional content for the game, but the Switch 2 Edition will run you $65. That’s almost certainly worth it, but you could also scoop up the Switch 1 edition on sale for $44.99 Prime shipped at Woot and then grab the $6.99 upgrade pack from Nintendo to land the same package for $52. Chances are it’s going to be a long while before we see the proper Switch 2 edition down at a price like that. “Animal Crossing: New Horizons – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition features enhanced resolution, mouse control support for faster and easier decorating, a megaphone for calling your animal residents that uses the system microphone, and more.”
