Nintendo Might Change The Switch 2 Feature Players Complain About MostA sizeable portion of Nintendo Switch 2 players have been very vocal about their opposition to Game-Key Cards that allow players to digitally download a game rather than including it on a cartridge. But there's at least one publisher that's taken this criticism to heart by switching gears from This may be a welcome development for Nintendo Switch 2 players who hate Game-Key Cards back to cartridges, thanks to the new size options offered by Nintendo. Inin Games shared the news that its upcoming US and European run of R-Type Dimensions III is going to be released on a physical cartridge instead of a Game-Key Cards. The company also cited a recalculation of the production prices as a reason for the change. Apparently it's cheaper to release a game on Game-Key Cards, but the rumored measures taken by Nintendo apparently lowered the price for cartridges as well. Game-Key Cards have been in physical Nintendo Switch 2 game boxes, but those cards don't actually include any game data. Instead, the Game-Key Cards allow the console to download the game from the internet. Nintendo hasn't issued any statement about this yet, but the rumors suggest that smaller cartridges are being offered in 16GB and 32GB sizes, both of which are cheaper than the standard 64GB cartridge. Publishers who wanted to sell Switch 2 games on physical cartridges were previously stuck paying for and using Nintendo's 64GB cartridge. The publishers who released larger games were also forced to use Game-Key Cards because their titles couldn't fit on a single cartridge. There's currently no indication that Nintendo is planning any cartridges bigger than 64GB to accommodate those larger games. If those were available, they might mitigate the need for Game-Key Cards. The one bit of bad news from R-Type Dimensions III is that the game will be a little more expensive now that Inin Games is going for the physical cartridge. Regardless, Inin pledged to honor the original price for anyone who preordered the game before the change was made. "We'd like to sincerely thank the community for the passionate discussion, the feedback, and the patience over the past days," reads a statement by Inin Games . "Your enthusiasm for physical games and for R-Type in particular made this solution possible, and we're very happy to be able to deliver a true cartridge release." Last month, it was revealed that Pokemon Pokopia will be the first game published by Nintendo itself that will only be given a physical release as a Key Card .

Starfield's Second DLC Reportedly Pushed Back Because Of GTA 6 DelayIt's lonely out in space, especially if you're a Starfield player waiting for any word about the next major update coming to the game. Bethesda's space-based game will receive an additional story DLC , it's just a matter of when. Now, a new report suggests that the delay of Grand Theft Auto 6 played a role in Bethesda's decision to push back its next Starfield chapter. According to Windows Central , Bethesda "felt more comfortable" about pushing Starfield's second DLC to the first half of 2026 because Microsoft already had a "busy holiday period" for 2025 without it. More intriguingly, the same report indicates that Bethesda has already been showing off the new update and DLC behind closed doors to a select group of players. One of the rumored changes is a revamp of the game's space flight systems that will actually make travel feel like a journey instead of a series of loading screens. Other aspects of space travel and exploration are also said to be improved in the new update, and the Creation Engine will reportedly include "large technical improvements ... that will also carry forward to future games." However, a separate report about the Starfield showcase from IGN seemingly walks back the scope of some of those changes and adds that fans shouldn't expect a "Cyberpunk 2.0-scale update." Until the embargo from the event is lifted, further details probably won't be available. Former Bethesda developer Bruce Nesmith recently stated that he felt Starfield fell short of Fallout and Elder Scrolls , despite liking the game himself. There are rumors that Starfield will come to PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2 in the future , but Bethesda has yet to confirm the game for either of those systems.

Some Resident Evil fans are convinced this deader-than-dead villain is somehow coming back in Requiem, but I’m not sold We're a bit over two months away from Resident Evil Requiem , and fans of the survival horror franchise are already spinning their wheels on theories of what to expect thanks to last week's reveal trailer. The newest look at RE9 that unveiled grizzled series veteran Leon S. Kennedy as the game's second playable character also had some big secrets within, or so some gamers are convinced. The new theory making the rounds online is that a returning villain was teased in plain sight. Image via Capcom At one point in the trailer (as seen in the image above), Leon can be seen looking at images on a computer screen that show some sort of virus or affliction that appears to be rotting people's skin or turning it black. The same condition can be seen in some images creeping up the side of Leon's neck, so he may not be doing so well in his 50s when the game takes place. Also seen on the screen, however, is the lower half of somebody's face. And that somebody is—brace yourselves—none other than big bad Albert Wesker. Or, that's what people are thinking, anyway. The former S.T.A.R.S. captain and Umbrella agent has not been seen in the canon since the events of Resident Evil 5. As cool as it would be, I'm not sold on it. The last time we saw Wesker, he was mutated by the Uroboros virus and fighting Chris Redfield and Sheva Alomar in a volcano. The duo even shot two rockets at him to seal the deal to try and drive home the point that he was dead dead. Gamers have been theorizing since 2009 that Wesker somehow survived the events of RE5 , but I've never bought into that. They blasted him with RPGs and lava. How could he survive it? Of course, it's Resident Evil , so weirder things have happened, but I'm not buying the idea. If it truly is Wesker in the picture on the computer screen, then maybe Leon is just looking up some research on his own affliction. That doesn't mean Wesker has somehow returned (like Emperor Palpatine, oh god), but I wouldn't count out his inclusion or relevance to RE9 , even if he has no real connection to Leon at all (he was tied directly to Chris, Jill Valentine, and other S.T.A.R.S. members, so if one of them shows up, then maybe I'll change my tune). Then again, if this truly is the "requiem" for the Umbrella era of the series before Resident Evil moves on to something new, then having Wesker as a plot point would make sense. He's responsible for a lot of what Umbrella did and was capable of from the beginning, and is arguably the most overarching main villain of the franchise. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVZVo2J53TM&pp=ygUQcmU1IHdlc2tlciBkZWF0aA%3D%3D To add further fuel to the rumor, the trailer also includes a shot of what looks like some sort of sarcophagus or coffin with the Umbrella logo emblazoned on. Is Wesker in there, waiting to rise like Dracula? We'll see when Requiem drops on Feb. 27, 2026, but for now, I'm keeping my Albert expectations tempered.

Star Wars Fate Of The Old Republic Director Says The Game Will Launch Within The Next 1,477 DaysStar Wars: Fate of the Old Republic was one of the big highlights of The Game Awards last week, but will it launch before 2030 ? Game director Casey Hudson has stepped in to address these reports-- which may stem from Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier's speculation about when the game will be released -- confirming that the spiritual successor to Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic will arrive before the current decade is up. "Don't worry about the 'not till 2030' rumors," Hudson wrote online . "Game will be out before then. I'm not getting any younger!" There's no concrete release date yet for Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic, and it's still very early days for the project. The reveal trailer at The Game Awards was a CGI teaser for the game-- similar to how Quantic Dreams revealed Star Wars Eclipse at The Game Awards 2021 --and the developer behind Fate of the Old Republic is Arcanaut Studios, a company founded by Hudson and his partners in July. While it's not impossible, properly staffing a new studio and developing a game expected to be a AAA Star Wars experience will be challenging. Continue Reading at GameSpot
