Why There Aren’t Many Ports of Games on Switch 2… Yet

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-11-25 02:22:40

Nintendo wants all the games coming to its Switch 2 to emphasize the features that make it distinct from the original Switch. After all, why else would consumers drop $450 on a new handheld when many are still holding onto their 8-year-old device? If you were twiddling your thumbs waiting for developers to port your favorite games to the Switch 2, know that they may be coming, but only after developers can show they’ll emphasize the new system’s best—or at least distinctive—qualities.

Fortnite is coming back to iOS in Australia after legal win against Apple

Epic has spent the last five years fighting Apple's in-app purchase policies. Now, after half a decade, the Epic Games Store and Fortnite will once again be available on iOS in Australia.

Dhruv Bhutani / Android Authority Call me a boomer, but for me, mobile gaming peaked in the early 2010s. Phones were getting powerful enough to run console-like experiences, but the industry hadn’t yet drowned in gatcha tactics, ads after every level, or endless battle passes. Instead, developers focused on compelling single-player experiences, short but addictive gameplay loops, and just the right balance of challenge and accessibility.

In the months since, he’s been vague about what to expect from the film, and his newest teases are slightly more concrete in terms of telling us his game plan for Capcom’s zombie franchise. Talking to Inverse, Cregger called himself “the biggest worshipper of the games, so I’m telling a story that’s a love letter to the games and follows the rules of the games.” No
