Content Continues Below   As per a new report from Kotaku, it seems as if Nintendo has started to ban Switch 2 consoles from users utilizing the MIG Switch cartridge on them. For those out of the loop, the MIG Switch cartridge is a type of flashcart that allows users to load up ROMs on their console and play them without swapping out games.

As has been tradition for many Nintendo games at this point, Mario Kart World has a hidden easter egg containing “Totaka’s Song.” As discovered by some users on Reddit, the various characters in Mario Kart World will start to hum if you leave your cursor over them for an extended period of time. Naturally, this led people to staying on Yoshi for an extended bit, and low and behold, there was “Totaka’s Song.” It’s hard to hear over the background music, but Yoshi is very clearly humming it.

With how long the original Nintendo Switch managed to last on store shelves, it should come as no surprise that some of the earliest Switch 2 games were originally designed for the Switch 1. One such is the upcoming Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, the third installment of Koei Tecmo’s Hyrule Warriors spinoff and a prequel, of sorts, to The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

The folks over at Digital Foundry have taken a look at what many consider an impossible port for the Nintendo Switch 2, Cyberpunk 2077. Announced as one of the premiere third-party launch titles for the system (and one of the only third-party games with the full game on a cartridge), it’s kind of astonishing to see a game as dense and as detailed as this running on a portable device.

Since the Nintendo Switch 2 is the hot new thing in gaming right now, it only makes sense that other companies would be worried about the device eating into their sales. As one of Nintendo’s two main rivals for the past 30 years, Sony has gone head-to-head with Nintendo’s consoles with its PlayStation brand, and while it often comes out on top, times are changing.

The launch week for the Switch 2 has seen Nintendo’s latest device put up some incredible numbers by any measure. With the device becoming the fastest-selling console of all time and even launching in Japan to nearly one million units (which might be higher if we take My Nintendo Store sales into account), it seems the device is off to an incredible start.

Content Continues Below   With the Nintendo Switch 2 becoming the fastest-selling console of all-time in just one weekend, it should be no surprise that its marquee game, Mario Kart World, has also been lighting up the sales charts. While we don’t have concrete global numbers, Famitsu recently published the Japanese sales charts for the week of June 2nd-8th, 2025, and it shows Mario and friends up on top.

Despite having just launched the Switch 2, Nintendo news is pretty dry at the moment. With the summer almost upon us, it seems Nintendo is letting its already massive library of Switch 1 titles do the heavy lifting while it prepares more next-generation experiences. That’s what makes this 16-second teaser for the “Splatoon 3 North American League” so bizarre. It basically announces the event and then… nothing else.

In an interview posted by WCCFTech on Wild Hearts S, Koei Tecmo producer Takuto Edagawa stated that he believes the Nintendo Switch 2 is closer in power to the Xbox Series S than the PlayStation 4. While he didn’t elaborate on how or why he thinks that, having just developed a port of Wild Hearts for the Switch 2 is probably one reason for his thoughts. The game originally released in February of 2023 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series platforms with no last-generation version available.
