🍄 Nintendo Switch, Multi-platformSeptember Somehow Gets Even Busier With Fire Emblem, A Great-Looking Co-Op Game, And More
If you weren't already overwhelmed by the choice of game releases coming this September(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/september-2026-is-packed-with-games-trying-to-avoid-gta-6/), the latest Nintendo Direct(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/nintendo-direct-june-2026-all-the-biggest-announcements-and-games/) has just confirmed that Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave and Orbitals will be releasing in the busiest month in the gaming calendar. The new entry in the turn-based tactical RPG series, with an Ancient Roman-like theme, releases September 17. The retro-anime co-op adventure releases on September 3. Also confirmed to come to Switch 2 in the Nintendo Direct is Onimusha: Way of the Sword, releasing on September 25. This means, as with Capcom's other new releases in 2026--Resident Evil Requiem and Pragmata--it will be launch simultaneously with other announced platforms. This adds to an exceptionally busy month for new releases, which already include The Blood of Dawnwalker, Halloween, Marvel's Wolverine, Dune Awakening, Silent Hill: Townfall, and more. It's also a month that sees more ports coming to Switch 2, including Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight and Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age.
🍄 Nintendo Switch, Multi-platformFire Emblem: Fortune's Weave Has Four Playable Protagonists And A September Release Date
!Game Informer News(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/06/09/29643071/fireemblem04.jpg.webp) Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave, the next game in Nintendo's tactical RPG series, was revealed last September(https://www.gameinformer.com/nintendo-direct/2025/09/12/fire-emblem-fortunes-weave-comes-to-switch-2-in-2026), but we haven't seen any official updates until today. A brand new trailer during Nintendo's big summer Direct(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PvUPDSDZg1k) showed off more units, detailed the game's structure, and a release date. Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave will launch September 17 on Switch 2. This new trailer gives us a refresher on the game's world. It follows a series of warriors as they compete in the Heroic Games, a combat tournament held in a Roman-inspired coliseum, though it seems each competitor has unique motivations to win. Cai (who rides an Emu-like bird called an Ornius) is fighting to save his father from imprisonment, while Theodora wants to prove she has the strength to lead her people, performer Leda desperately wants revenge on someone, and Dietrich find a foe worthy of his blade, Answerer. You can pick which of the four is your protagonist, and see how each of them... wait for it... weaves their fortune into reality. Whoever wins the tournament will have a wish granted by the ruler, and given that the titular Fire Emblem is often a wish-granting artifact, it's likely to come into play. We also saw more of the game's free time structure, a staple in recent Fire Emblem entries. You can recruit units, travel outside the city walls to train against other foes, or level up your skills in the training arena. We also got a glimpse of a woman "rejoicing" about "the advent of the Underworld," which I think is fair to assume is a villain, and the return of Sothis, a character in Fire Emblem: Three Houses. !Game Informer News(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/06/09/3728a81a/nintendodirect6.9.2026nintendotreehouselivejune202646-31screenshot.jpg.webp)(https://gameinformer.com/href) Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave is coming to Switch 2 on September 17, and will have a special collector's edition available that same day.

🍄 Nintendo Switch, Multi-platformFire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave Features Four Different Storylines
Nintendo and Intelligent Systems showed more of Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave during the latest Nintendo Direct, ensuring turn-based-tactics fans will continue having an absolutely grand time when it launches on as a Switch 2 exclusive on September 17. Players will be able to choose between four different main characters, each with a unique storyline. Each hero will be seeking to win The Heroic Games for their own reasons, as whoever emerges victorious will be granted one wish. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rl5C4sc5zk The latest trailer highlighted each hero. Kai, a young boy, seeks to win the games in order to save his father. Meanwhile, Dietrich, a mysterious swordsman, joins the games in search of strong opponents. Theodora is a queen of an entire kingdom, and seeks to fulfill her homeland's dream. Leda, a muscian, joins the games seeking revenge. Each hero will have their own special techinques to deploy, and ones that are said to be capable of turning the tide of battle. Between official Heroic Games matches, players will have free time to spend. That time can be spent gearing up and improving their forces through training, recruiting new warriors, and venturing outside of the main city's walls to battle monsters and gain XP. The Fire Emblem series has been extremely active on Nintendo Switch, including two mainline games and multiple spin-offs. The latest game, Fire Emblem Engage, offered a more streamlined story than its predecessor Three Houses, with a return to classic Fire Emblem combat and a simpler story. We will continue to wait for Nintendo to do the right thing and bring the Radiant games to Switch.

🍄 Nintendo Switch, Multi-platformPokémon Pokopia Gets New Bubbly Basin Biome This August Alongside Free Underwater Dive Update
!Pokemon Pokopia Expansion Pass Bubbly Basin(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/06/09/3ebe4b55/pokopia01.jpg.webp) Pokémon Pokopia(https://www.gameinformer.com/product/pokemon-pokopia) launched earlier this year on March 5, exclusively on Nintendo Switch 2, and now, we know when the game's Expansion Pass content begins. During today's Nintendo Direct, we learned that the new Bubbly Basin town will be added to the game this August, and that same month, all players will get the underwater Dive ability in a free software update. Bubbly Basin kickstarts the Expansion Pass content, which will expand with "additional features" in late 2026 and a brand new town in 2027. As the name Bubbly Basin might imply, the new biome is completely underwater – you'll need to use the new Dive ability, which can only be acquired after raising the environmental level in the Bleak Beach town, to build the biome for all manner of underwater pocket monsters. Check it out in the Bubbly Basin trailer below: Bubbly Basin hits Pokémon Pokopia sometime this August.

!Game Informer News(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/06/09/6104d7d8/onepiece01.jpg.webp) One Piece: Grand Gourmet is a little different from the typical One Piece game as there is less punching and yelling, but it does fall in line with the larger One Piece Universe. In the game, you will manage a restaurant, which is character Sanji's whole deal. You will cook food and serve it to 400 characters from the anime and manga. One Piece: Grand Gourmet is coming to Switch and Switch 2 on October 23. !Game Informer News(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/06/09/9081e248/onepiece02.jpg.webp)
🎮 PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, Multi-platformNintendo Direct June 2026: All the news and trailers
After a week of video game news and trailers from PlayStation, Xbox, and most of the major publishers, Nintendo decided to follow things up with its next Nintendo Direct. And it came at an important moment for the company: the Switch 2 is getting a price hike, and at the same time, the console&8217;s lineup &8230;
🖥 Nintendo Switch, PC, Multi-platformFinal Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster Hits Nintendo Switch 2 Next Month With High-Speed Mode, No Random Encounters Toggle, And More
!Final Fantasy X-2 HD Remaster Nintendo Switch 2 July 23 Release Date Trailer(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/06/09/35f5d971/ffx3.jpg.webp) Square Enix has revealed that Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster(https://www.gameinformer.com/product/final-fantasy-xx-2-hd-remaster) is coming to Nintendo Switch 2. When it hits the console next month on July 23, it will bring with it both classic Final Fantasy adventures alongside brand new Switch 2 features, including a highly requested high-speed mode, a toggle for random encounters, and additional quality of life features. While these features are available on the PC version of this remaster, this is the first time they'll be in a console port. The developer-publisher released a new trailer today for the HD Remaster Switch 2 port, highlighting the full HD characters, monsters, and background visuals present in the HD Remaster, which first launched in the U.S. in 2014. Though fans of these games debate whether the HD character models, in particular, are better (nothing beats the original PS2 game, in my opinion), you can't argue that features like high-speed mode and encounter toggles aren't welcome additions. Check it out in the Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster Nintendo Switch 2 release date trailer below: This HD Remaster also features fully remastered and arranged music, and additional elements from Final Fantasy X/Final Fantasy X-2 International Version are fully recreated here. It's an excellent remaster, all things considered, and if you haven't played these games before, I can't recommend them enough – the Final Fantasy X saga is arguably the best in the entire franchise (plus, if more people play these games, maybe Square Enix will finally make Final Fantasy X-3). Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster launches on Nintendo Switch 2 on July 23. In the meantime, read Game Informer's Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster review(https://gameinformer.com/games/finalfantasyxx-2hdremaster/b/ps3/archive/2014/03/18/final-fantasy-x-x-2-hd-remaster-review.aspx), and then check out Game Informer's ranking of every mainline Final Fantasy game(https://www.gameinformer.com/2023/11/23/ranking-every-mainline-final-fantasy-game).
