At last, the weekend. It’s been a surprisingly busy week, hasn’t it? Let’s start with some good news…<\/p>\n

In case you missed it, Fox McCloud is back! Star Fox<\/a>, a new reimagining of Star Fox 64<\/a>, is coming to Switch 2<\/a> this June with AR avatar filters<\/a>, new character designs<\/a>, online dogfights<\/a>, and more. Sticking with anthropomorphic animals, Mina the Hollower finally got a release date<\/a>. Capcom’s had a good week too, as Resident Evil Requiem<\/a> got a free minigame<\/a> and Pragmata<\/a> has now sold over 2 million copies<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It was also Nintendo’s financial results this week, and the disappointing but not unexpected headline there is that the Switch 2 is getting a price increase<\/a> worldwide. Pok\u00e9mon Pokopia<\/a>, FireRed & LeafGreen<\/a>, and Tomodachi Life<\/a> have all sold<\/a> well<\/a>, while the Switch 2 has sold just shy of 20 million units<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In reviews, we’ve got a nice slice of variety for you, with R-Type DX: Music Encore<\/a>, TetherGeist<\/a>, Outbound<\/a>, and Mixtape<\/a> \u2014 which is being raved about by multiple outlets, including us<\/a>.<\/p>\n
