The new Switch Sports installment is coming to the Switch 2 on October 22nd and is available for preorder now. But this is the clearest look we’ve gotten at gameplay of the new sports like skateboarding, boxing, archery, power cruising, prop plane flying, and — the weirdest one by far — thumb wrestling.
Some of the earliest gamepads with analog thumbsticks were beefy devices (I’m looking at you, Duke) with quirky designs. Modder ChaosBench pushes the limits of what can be considered a playable gamepad with a supersized version of the N64 controller that requires heavy-duty springs to get its giant buttons to pop back up after being pressed.
Sony, which acquired Crunchyroll in 2021, is launching a hub for the anime streaming service on the PS5 in spring 2027, as reported earlier by Variety. It’s still not exactly clear what this hub will look like, but Sony says it will allow players to explore anime series and games, as well as access the Crunchyroll app.
Nintendo describes it as an “NFC Reader Writer,” and I found a vague diagram in one of the files. Maybe it’s something for amiibo? An update to the old Nintendo 3DS NFC Reader/Writer accessory, for some reason?
What do you think? Here are the files, if you want to dig through them yourself.
You’ll need to bring your own PS4 game files, according to the GitHub page, but it looks like a great way to play Hideo Kojima’s infamous, delisted horror demo.
“I made this on my own, in my spare time, because P.T. deserved to keep existing somewhere other than on consoles that still have it installed,” the developer says on GitHub.

The change means that Paramount Games Studio, which was established this year, will be combined with WBD teams like Rocksteady Studios and Hogwarts Legacy developer Avalanche Software, Variety reports.
The streamer has been pivoting to TV-based games of late, but some new app store listings — as spotted by RPG Site — show that a mobile version of Monster Hunter Rise is on its way to the service. The timing is particularly interesting as the mobile-focused MonHun spinoff Outlanders is also launching at the end of October.
Ahead of its third season of games launching tomorrow, Playdate is emailing users a reminder to update their handhelds with older versions of Playdate OS to more recent versions. (3.0.5 or later.) The secure certificate used in older versions of the OS will expire on October 15th preventing access to Playdate’s servers and necessitating a more complicated manual update after that date to get connected again.
I reported last month that Microsoft was planning to delay the release of Forza Horizon 6 on PS5 to early 2027. Dealabs now reports that the game will release on January 26th, a date I’ve also been hearing from sources. It’s not yet clear if there will be early access to Forza Horizon 6 on PS5 through a premium edition of the game.
