Nintendo (video games, publishers and studios): all 3 Bunker Geek stories, sourced and checked. Latest: “Metroid Ravenous: Samus returns in 2D on 28 January 2027 on Switch 2”.
On 9 September, Nintendo presented the sequel to Metroid Dread: a hunt on an alien moon, built around the theme of “eat or be eaten”. Samus, clearly, has no intention of ending up on the menu.
On 9 September, Nintendo announced Kirby and the World Beyond, a 3D adventure in which Kirby freely explores vast environments, expected in spring 2027 exclusively on Switch 2. It will be the series’ second major 3D entry, in the year of its 35th anniversary: a respectable age for a pink ball that still swallows everything in its path.
A free update to Star Fox on Switch 2 will, from 30 September in France (29 September in North America), let up to four players battle it out on a single console and add three arenas, while Star Fox Adventures joined Nintendo’s GameCube catalogue on Nintendo Classics on 9 September. Battle Mode, until now playable online only, is therefore coming back to the living room, for anyone who would rather see the face of the friend they have just shot down.
