Nintendo has announced that the next game to be added to the ever expanding Nintendo Switch Online library will be Donkey Kong 64 (1999). The classic Rare-developed 3D platformer launches for Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 on 4th June 2026 via the “Nintendo 64 – Nintendo Classics” app. As always, the app can be downloaded from the Nintendo eShop for anyone with an active Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscription.
The cat is out of the bag as the logo for the Rayman Legends remake which we now know is called Rayman Legends Retold was circulating around social media thanks to a known Ubisoft leaker. While we know that the game is titled Rayman Legends Retold, insider NateDrake has informed posters on the Reset Era forums that Rayman Legends Retold is 2.5D with some 3D sections hence the Retold subtitle.
The original game was a fantastic 2D platformer which graced numerous platforms, but as some have said, it seems a little early for a full on remake. Still, the game is apparently set to be unveiled next week presumably during Summer Game Fest or a Ubisoft event, so we can see what changes have been implemented in Retold.
Thanks to Graystripe2000 for sending in the news tip!
The Rayman Legends remake which has been in development at Ubisoft appears to be titled Rayman Legends Retold. The logo leaked online for what was once referred to as Project Steambot internally at Ubisoft. We know from information posted by video game journalist Tom Henderson that the remake of the game, which some may say doesn’t necessarily need the remake treatment, is in development along with a brand new Rayman adventure. The leaker says he has a “bunch more screenshots, skins & concept arts but i heard an announcement is near so i won’t post.”
Insider Gaming understands that the reveal of Rayman Legends: Retold, AKA Project Steambot, is expected within the next week and that the game is scheduled to release on October 1, 2026
Microsoft has been listening to their customers as of late and it has been seen as a positive move by many. The company recently opened up its Xbox Players Voice site where you can suggest things that you want with the No.1 request being that Xbox move back to exclusives. The most requested game by Xbox players isn’t a new Halo or Gears of War game, but is instead a request for a new Banjo-Kazooie game. The last Banjo-Kazooie game was Nuts and Bolts on the Xbox 360, which is thankfully still playable thanks to backwards compatibility. Who would actually work on a new Banjo-Kazooie game remains to be seen, but with all the acquisitions there must be someone.
Resident Evil fan channel Residence of Evil has stated that they believe that the long-rumoured Resident Evil: Code Veronica Remake could finally be revealed by Capcom during the Summer Game Fest which takes place next month.

Known retail leaker Billbil-kun has posted some more information on the currently unannounced Sonic Frontiers Definitive Edition for the Nintendo Switch 2. The Definitive Edition features all updates, DLC, and gameplay improvements that were released since the original launch in 2022. Nintendo Switch 2 owners can naturally expect improved performance, better graphics and reduced loading times. Billbil-kun thinks that there could be some sort of surprise with the Deluxe Edition. Sonic Frontiers Definitive Edition will retail for $50, though he says he’s not sure when the game will actually release.
Immediately following the announcement that Dragon Quest XII has restarted development, Square Enix also revealed that another Dragon Quest Monsters is on the way. Information regarding Dragon Quest Monsters: The Withered World is vague at the moment, as we were only given a brief teaser, but the spin-off is “coming soon” to Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2.
Square Enix has given fans a look at Dragon Quest XII today. The company says that it has had a number of problems while in development and that the team has rebooted the game from scratch. The game is now called Dragon Quest XII: Beyond Dreams and Square Enix says it is still a way off from release. However, the team revealed the first trailer for Dragon Quest XII: Beyond Dreams which you can watch down below.
Update: This isn’t a Nintendo Switch 2 Edition as it doesn’t feature save transfers or an upgrade path.
After being leaked last month by the Taiwan Ratings Board, Square Enix has now officially announced the release of Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age – Definitive Edition on Nintendo Switch 2. Set for launch on 24th September, the Switch 2 version arrives just a few days before the 7th anniversary of the original Switch 1 version, adding new graphics/performance optimization modes. A physical release has also been announced, but it will unfortunately be a Game-Key Card, presumably due to the game’s larger file size. Square Enix also said that save data from the original Nintendo Switch version will not transfer over.
Capcom has revealed that a demo for the highly regarded Resident Evil Requiem is now available on the Nintendo Switch 2.
