Monster Hunter Stories Twisted Reflection

Capcom started off with a new Monster Hunter Stories for Switch 2 for 2026. This is a turn based RPG spinoff set in the Monster Hunter universe. There is not a lot of information on this game. Though seems to be going for a darker story and better graphics then previous Stories games. Notable is that they seem to be graphics inspired by Monster Hunter 4 or World which is a pleasant surprise.

Katamari Damacy: Once Upon a Katamari

Katamari is returning I haven’t seen much from the series aside from a few remakes. New and exsisting tracks to go along with the goal of just destroy everything to save the world. I have always seen the games as rather repetitive, but fun for a few hours of destruction. Once Upon a Katamari will release on Switch on October 24.

Just Dance 2026

The Just Dance series is a long running set of dance games created by Ubisoft. How long will this game live I wonder? Of course they will have to contend with the EU and Stop Killing Games. Just Dance 2026 will be releasing on Switch only.

After they announced Dragonball Z Sparking Zero releasing on Switch and Switch 2 I don’t have a lot to say. Despite being a anime fan I haven’t watched or seen anything Dragonball since i was a kid and even then have vague memories. It seems to be an arena based fighter so if you are a fan of the series or that kind of game then it may be worth it for you. Releasing November 14 of this year.

Plants vs Zombies

Coming to Switch and Switch 2 the tower defense title is coming to switch with a new coat of paint and local co-op and PVP. Releasing October 23 this year.

After some EA sports game, a remake of Pac Man world 2 similar to the remake of the first game was annoucned, Final Fantasy Tactics finally makes a return after several years and some quaility of life changes. Persona 3 has a remake in october, Hyrule Warriors has another entry Age of Imprisonment, another sports game by EA for Switch 2. A very boring looking campfire simulator is coming to Switch 2, Apex Legends is coming to Switch 2, Hela a game about a mouse is coming to Switch 2, Star Wars Outlaws is coming to Switch 2

After all that there was an announcement for EA’s next sports game this time soccer/football. It doesn’t look interesting but I am not a sports fan I will however be waiting for the glitches compilation these games are notorious for. It’s releasing September 26 2025.

Pac-Man World 2 Re Pac

A remake of Pac Man World was released and I suppose people wanted the sequel released too. I never played either of these and while they look interesting have no invested interest in, but if you want a platformer staring Pac Man I guess it works.

Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles

The series that brought the Tactics genre to the west and hasn’t had a release since has finally announced their newest title. Final Fantasy Tactics was a Game Boy Advance game that had unique gameplay and amazing mechanics for any RPG. Similar gameplay was later also introduced in Fire Emblem and Nobunaga’s Ambition (which predates it, but was introuced to the west at around the same time.) Paving the Tactics genre to what it is today and you can look up the sales for any Fire Emblem game to know the impact. The new game will be releasing September 30.

Persona 3 Reload

Another remake of a Persona game. I’m not mad we are getting Persona 3 again just disapointed because I was hoping for something different. This company has been milking Persona 5 for years now and I want to see a followup to the game and mechanics. Or at least a new Shin Magami Tensei which also hasn’t had a new release. If you are interested in this Persona 3 Reload is releasing October 23rd.

Hyrule Warriors Age of Imprisonment

Another Hyrule Warriors game. Honestly I recommend playing only one from the series, because that is all you will really need. Gameplay is repetitive and the games don’t have a lot to differentiate them. I understand that this is something that is wrong with Warriors games to begin with they reuse plots and characters multiple times in Dynasty Warriors so this isn’t something uncommon with that genre. Hyrule Warrior has no release yet but more information is coming in winter.

The remaining games were for Switch 2 and seeing as I refuse to get one or pay $80 for games as I don’t plan on supporting any of the games from here, but here we go.

Another sports game from EA was announced this time Football/ Rugby this releases August 14. After was a rather boring looking Campfire Simulator, Chilling by the Fire. Apex Legends coming to Switch 2 considering the difficulty and frame problems stick to PC with this one. Hela a mouse is sent on a journey to gather ingredients for an illness with a magical backpack and that is all we know about it there is no release date other than sometime next year. Star Wars Outlaws is coming to Switch 2 Ubisoft is still trying to push this game, but remember this is the same game whose release is already $120 so I think I’ll pass, Chronos the New Dawn seems to be a horror game inspired by Dead Space and Resident Evil not much known about it, but it is available September 5th.

Yakuza Kizami 2 is coming to switch 2 I know very little about this franchise and didn’t understand a word of the announcement. Releasing is November 13 alongside its prequel.

Goodnight Universe releases November 11, NBA Bounce releases September 26, a sequel to Hello Kitty Island Adventure with no release date is coming this Fall/Autumn, Romancing Saga 2 Revenge of the Seven already out, Shinobi Art of Vengence releases August 29th, and last in their rapid fire of games Borderlands 4 releases October 3rd.

The Adventures of Elliot: The Millenium Tales

A square RPG that is using Pixel graphics not much is known and it seems a demo is available along with 7 weapon types it has no release for next year

Octopath Traveler 0

Another in a series I tried and honestly never hooked me I played the first Octopath Traveler and it looked and played fine, but that was all it was just fine an okay game but nothing exciting. I enjoyed the game for what it was, but there was nothing bringing me back. If you enjoy this series and have a Switch 2 it’s available December 4th.

INDIE WORLD

Mina the Hollower a Zelda inspired game from the creators of Shovel Knight is releasing. The pixel style and characters look amazing and if you played Shovel Knight you know the developers make quality and fun games easily surpassing triple A publishers. Mina the Hollower releases October 31st this year and the demo is out now.

The developers of Top Hat studios creators of Crypt Custodians and Islets returns with a rather unerving and oddly interesting Horror looking game. With Well Dweller it looks like a game that sort of reminds me of a mix between a metroidvania like Bloodstained or Metroid and Happy Game.

Neverway

A Life sim farming simulator mixed with adventure style gameplay. Not a bad looking game and seems more story driven than others. No concrete release date yet though projected for next year.

Herdling

A game that reminds me of Journey less about the destination and more about the travel. The envioments look good and for this genre that is important while we don’t know much seems like you need to guide a herd of animals somewhere. Herdling releases August 21.

Is This Seat Taken?

Something not Horror related was finally announced? You pick the seating in a puzzle game for this game seems like a time waster doesn’t seem bad, but also looks average. Already Released

Little Kitty Big City

Little Kitty got a update seems to be focusing on customization and photo modes. Releases this year.

Content Warning

A co-op survival game that releases next year about trying to go viral while filming huantings.

Ball Pit

A rouge like that looks like at least fun the ramdomizing dungeon and drops makin new combination weapons. Comes to switch October 15 and switch 2 sometime in the Fall.

Ultimate Chicken Raccoon

Even by that title you can guess Ultimate Chicken Horse is getting a sequel. This time rather than make a difficult platforming level modifying the same space this time its a race mixed with the level editing to make it easier or harder and if you are me adding as many death traps as possible. 8 players and cross platform releases Winter this year.

Glaciered

You play as a bird in an underwater enviorment and much like Subnatica have to survive against a hostile place underwater gathering stuff. Luanches as a timed exclusive Christmas.

Next was a rapid fire of games most of which had no release dates. Winter Burrow a mouse themed survival game releases Winter. Undusted Letters from the Past a puzzle game where you seem to clean and restore things releases in October, Tiny Bookshop already available a game that seems to be about recommending and selling old classic literature most of which are read in schools already released, Caves of Qud not entirely sure what this games about releases Winter, Strange Antiques a game about an antique store and some mystery I think Releases September 17th with preorders available today, Opus prism peak don’t know anything about this game either available Fall of this year, Go Go town a customize game where the player seems to do everything at a speed available Spring 2026, UFO 50 already available.

Okay so final thoughts I liked the Indie games better than AAA. Mina the Hollower looks amazing and I am deffinitely getting it. I liked how Herding looked too. I didn’t enjoy the partner presents and that is okay I enjoy Indie games more most of the time.
