You’re gonna have a bigger backlog.

Limited Run Games has announced a very exciting enhanced version of 1987’s NES “classic”, Jaws – and they’ve got their signature offering of flashy physical editions ready to devour and everything.

These new physical editions of the game come complete with the 8-bit original, now with modern conveniences such as quick save. But, of course, the star turn is a “massively expanded” Jaws Enhanced Edition that embiggens the adventure to incorporate aspects from four (!) of the Jaws movies, rather than just the good one.

Rayman 2 has now been confirmed.

Earlier this year, a Switch Online + Expansion Pack trailer supposedly teased some upcoming releases for the N64 library. One of these games was Forsaken 64, which was released in September, and another title spotted was Rayman 2: The Great Escape, and that’s now returning next week.

So, what else might be on the way? In case you missed it, or just need another reminder, three other titles seemingly identified in this video footage include Donkey Kong 64, Super Smash Bros. and the original Glover release, which also got an eShop version earlier this year.

Getting dark.

Hot off the back of yesterday’s Switch and Switch 2 system update, Nintendo has today released a patch for its Parental Controls app, bumping things up to ver. 2.3.0.

The big addition this time around is a new Dark Mode, which will turn on automatically according to your phone’s settings — so no more glaring white light in the gloomy winter evenings. There are also more options on the ‘Extend Daily Play-Time Limit’ menu, bonus bedtime settings and more.

Where art thou, Wesker?

Warning: this article contains scenes of explicit spoilers.

Resident Evil Requiem launches on the Switch 2 in just under three months, but even now, the game is heavily shrouded in mystery (well, a little less so after the accidental reveal of Leon).

“We haven’t built that into our deal model”.

Hm, we’re sure that we won’t be looking back on this quote with a suspicious eye down the line. Following Netflix’s $82.7 billion acquisition agreement with Warner Bros. Discovery (later challenged by a separate offer from Paramount), Netflix co-CEO, president and director Gregory Peters has said WB Games didn’t really factor into the company’s decision (thanks for the heads up, Pocket Gamer).

That’s according to a recent earnings call, where Peters and Theodore Sarandos — the other co-CEO — were asked if Warner Bros. assets would “enhance or accelerate” success in Netflix’s gaming plans. “While they definitely have been doing some great work in the game space,” Peters responded, “we actually didn’t attribute any value to that from the get-go because they’re relatively minor compared to the grand scheme of things”.

Puzzle platformer Planet of Lana launched on Switch last year, and we were particularly enamoured by it. Developer Wishfully quickly followed it up with the announcement of a sequel, ‘Children of the Leaf‘, and the latest gameplay trailer promises it will be every bit as cute as we’d hope.

Revealed during yesterday’s Unity Awards Showcase, the ‘Say hello to the Roller‘ trailer introduces us to one of the many cute creatures you’ll encounter on Lana and Mui’s journey, one that possesses a particularly sticky set of skills.

We’re just days out from The Game Awards, and one marketing stunt that’s got a lot of attention in the lead up to the show is a mysterious statue located in the middle of the Mojave Desert.

It’s ignited plenty of speculation online, and now a trio of Divinity trademarks, which were filed in Europe on 9th December 2025, appear to confirm it’s an announcement related to Larian’s popular role-playing series. As you can see below, the symbols match the statue:

“Our strategy going forward is changing”.

As we wait for something to come of the 10-year deal between Microsoft and Nintendo, the Call of Duty team at Activision has today announced its strategy “going forward” is changing.

From here on out, the team will “no longer do back-to-back releases” of Modern Warfare or Black Ops games. The aim is to provide a truly “unique experience” in each entry and “drive innovation that is meaningful, not incremental”.
