Switch Online subscribers can now access more than 200 new tracks from NES and Famicom games via the Nintendo Music app, including Mario Bros., Duck Hunt, Wrecking Crew, and a handful of Donkey Kong titles. That gives you some retro tunes to listen to while playing Donkey Kong Bananza.
Ever see concept art and immediately say: “I would play the LIVING HECK out of that”?
Yeah. This is by Castpixel, and her portfolio is filled with fantastic pixel art (and more). She’s done work on Minecraft and Space Jam: A New Legacy and was sole artist on this $8 love letter to Bomberman. “If you can get Nintendo to hire me, it could be playable in 16 months or so,” she says of Chibi Metroid.
The playtest, which will be a test of the “same service” as the one in October, will accept up to 40,000 on a first-come, first-served basis. You can apply here, though you’ll need to have been a Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscriber as of last Thursday as 6PM ET to be eligible.

CD Projekt Red had expected today’s Update 2.3 to hit Switch 2 at “a later date,” but now it’s rolling out “as we speak.“
Version 20.2.0 was released yesterday, and while the patch notes didn’t include much, following the update, Portal 2 and Crypt of the NecroDancer: Nintendo Switch Edition are now supported on the Switch 2, Eurogamer reports.
Now I have NecroDancer music stuck in my head.
Just a reminder: preorders for physical copies of Pokémon Legends: Z-A start on July 23rd, and on July 22nd, there’s going to be a new Pokémon Presents stream that’s probably going to reveal a bit more information about the game.
