Preorder at Amazon

After nearly a decade, Nintendo's Star Fox series is making a big comeback next month on Switch 2. Preorders are now live for Star Fox--a remake of the classic N64 game Star Fox 64--and it'll be available either as a $60 physical edition or a $50 digital version. It looks like Walmart will have the best deal, as it's price-matching the physical edition with the $50 digital version, saving you $10 in the process.

Star Fox (Physical Edition) $60 | Releases June 25

A space combat game featuring Fox McCloud--who made a memorable cameo in the recent Super Mario Galaxy Movie--and his allies Falco, Slippy, and Peppy, Star Fox sees players leap into an Arwing fighter jet and defend the Lylat system from invading forces. Nintendo has described the remake as a modernized adventure that features a complete visual overhaul, and the game is also enhanced with all-new cinematic cutscenes, new and returning game modes, additional Switch 2-specific features, and more.

Like most Nintendo first-party releases, the complete Star Fox game will be included on the game cart.

This isn't the first time that Star Fox 64 has been remade, as Star Fox Zero reimagined the classic game for the Wii U console back in 2016. Like the N64 original, the new remake is a rail shooter game where you'll get to pilot the Arwing jet, unleash laser fire, and do a good ol' barrel roll to evade danger. The new Switch 2 features include added mouse controls, and a second player can hop into the Arwing gunner seat while you focus on flying.

One of the other additions to the game is a Battle Mode for head-to-head action against other players who take control of Star Wolf, challenge modes for an extra layer of replayability, and support for GameShare. Star Fox is one of several Nintendo first-party games on the way, as Yoshi and the Mysterious Book arrives on May 21 and Splatoon Raiders will be released on July 23.

Later this month, Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is going to mash-up aspects of the iconic hero's comic book, TV, and movie incarnations into a single story. Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy is also heavily referenced in the game, including a callback to the first film by Michael Caine, the actor who portrayed Alfred Pennyworth.

In 2024, Caine shared a Tweet that quoted Alfred's line from Batman Begins: "Why do we fall, sir? So we can learn to pick ourselves up." However, Caine mistakenly typed "Batman Begin" as the name of his film, and inadvertently created a meme. Both the quote and the typo have been retained for Legacy of the Dark Knight in a line spoken by Alfred himself.

DC comic book artist Marcelo Millicay was among the first to notice the in-game Easter egg for Caine's now-famous typo. Part of the game's story will actually explore Batman Begins' version of Bruce Wayne's origin, in which he was trained by the League of Shadows before ultimately rejecting their ways and becoming Batman.

Stranger than Heaven has been garnering plenty of interest since its debut at 2024's The Game Awards as Project Century. While other short teaser trailers have been shown since, today we got our first look at the broader game in the Xbox Presents: A Special Look at Stranger than Heaven presentation. We now have a more concrete look at what Stranger than Heaven is, how it plays, what sort of story it tells, and how it potentially leads into the greater Yakuza/Like A Dragon series.

That last bit's not really a spoiler, either, considering that Yakuza's Tojo Clan is mentioned in the very first scene we saw.

Stranger than Heaven follows the life of Makoto Daito (voiced and modeled after actor Yu Shirota), a youth born to an American father and a Japanese mother. When his father passes away, he finds himself an outcast in early-1915 America. Makoto stows away aboard a vessel in a San Francisco harbor bound for Japan, where he believes he may be able to be accepted--beginning a saga that spans 50 years and five distinct periods in Japan's history.

As part of a surprise Direct presentation aired on May 6, Nintendo officially confirmed a Star Fox game for Switch 2. Appropriately enough, it's called … Star Fox, and if you feel like you've played it before, you're not entirely wrong.

The Nintendo Switch 2 Star Fox is based on Star Fox 64, as was the Wii U's Star Fox Zero. The visuals have been completely overhauled, and the classic team of Fox, Slippy, Falco, and Peppy all make a return. The stage layouts are just as you remember from Star Fox 64, and though the dialogue between characters is a little different than the original version, it should be recognizable to longtime players.

While the Nintendo 64 version had very limited cinematics, there will be many additional cutscenes in this new version, including new mission briefings. During combat, you'll be right at home with the Arwing, which is capable of firing lasers and charged shots, as well as performing somersaults and the classic barrel roll. If you want a more PC-like experience, you can use the mouse controls on the Switch 2, and you can also hand a second player a Joy-Con 2 controller to act as the gunner while you fly the Arwing. Oh, and if you want a really classic experience, the game even supports the Nintendo 64 controller.

Sunset Visitor's upcoming game Prove You're Human bears an ominous title. Its debut trailer is just as provocative as its name lets on, and introduces us to Mesa, a seemingly rogue AI who has dreamt of her body and needs irrefutable proof that she is not human. The upcoming title from the developer behind 2024's critically acclaimed sci-fi narrative 1000xResist purports to address a growing anxiety around the notion of human performance and things that try to pass for us.

Elsewhere, a late-night worker at a gas station must check IDs and reference a database filled with the specific characteristics that make each customer who walks through its doors an individual. A person. As the only clerk on the midnight shift, they are tasked with distinguishing friend from foe, person from nonperson. And when the time comes to defend themself, they are encouraged to blast anything that would harm them or impersonate any real human. At least, that's the way of the world in the upcoming game Shift at Midnight, which has become a viral hit before it's even released thanks to a spate of demos and glowing coverage from popular gaming personalities, like Iron Lung director Mark "Markiplier" Fishbach.

Shift at Midnight features creepy skinwalkers that stalk the gas station.

I don't think Prove You're Human will suddenly become a guns-blazing first-person shooter, nor will Shift at Midnight begin waxing philosophically. Yet despite taking different tacts and centering distinct forms of mimicry, these titles are in conversation and represent the future, both near and far, of a trend I've noticed: the sounding of an alarm.

Borderlands 4 on Switch 2 has been delayed indefinitely after developer Gearbox announced that it had paused development on the game. But a pause is all it is, claims Take-Two boss Strauss Zelnick. Fans fearing that the Switch 2 edition has been canceled can seemingly breathe a sigh of relief.

Zelnick told Game File that the decision to pause development on the Switch 2 came down to Gearbox wanting to first address the issues with Borderlands 4 on PC.

"We've been addressing those challenges, and we want to make sure that we've fully addressed Borderlands 4 from a consumer's point of view before we bring it to more platforms," he said.
