New 🆕 Nintendo Switch Titles and Deals for Amazon Prime Day

I absolutely love the new Nintendo Switch game, Endless Ocean Luminous. The game is very relaxing. It’s one of those games that you can play without pressures of finishing levels; there are some timed missions, but it’s all really chill. 

Deep sea dive and discover through the Veiled Sea, and bring back stability and calm throughout the sea. There, you’ll discover 500 species of marine life. You can snap photos of sea animals, complete missions with fellow divers, or just leisurely explore the beautiful ocean.  I love this view game! Check out my videos on YouTube. 

 

Princess Peach: Showtime rocked the gaming world with the fun stunts, professions, and adorable storyline. My kids and I fight over this game, because we each love playing it so much. Each level is a lot of funo

Earlier this spring, Princess Peach took the spotlight in her very first game on Nintendo Switch,   Princess Peach: Showtime. The wicked Grape and the Sour Bunch have gone off-script to hijack the stag and it’s up to Peach and Stella, the theater’s guardian, to save the day. Peach must take the stage of each show, transforming to match each performance – becoming a swordfighter, detective, mermaid, patissiere and more! – changing up the action at every turn.

 

Up next is Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, a revamp of the classic RPG that features Mario and a whole bunch of other heroic (and sometimes odd!) characters. Releasing on May 23, the game has been shined up since the original release on the Nintendo GameCube system—check out the trailer to learn more.

 

Finally, later this summer (June 27), Luigi will take the spotlight once again in Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD. In this spooky fun adventure, players explore multiple haunted mansions with Luigi and his ghost-hunting Poltergust 5000. Suck up ghosts (and window curtains!) and blow air to such every nook and cranny in the chilling-yet charming mansions!

Pre-order Pokémon Legends: ZA for Nintendo Switch & Switch 2 – Release Date & TCG Details

Your Urban Pokémon Adventure Arrives! Pokémon Legends: ZA Launches October 16th for Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2!

Thank you Nintendo of America! My sons are SO LUCKY!!! So am I!

The wait is almost over, trainers! The most anticipated Pokémon title of the year, Pokémon Legends: ZA, is officially set for a worldwide release on October 16, 2025. This groundbreaking new installment promises to redefine the Pokémon experience, and you'll be able to play it on both your Nintendo Switch and the next-generation Nintendo Switch 2. 

We got a huge sneak peek of gameplay from Nintendo where we experienced day and night gameplay. 

As an original fan of Pokémon, I must say that the evolution of this game and hobby has truly MEGA evolved! The gameplay for Pokémon Legends: ZA outdoes its predecessors (okay, maybe except Blue and Yellow - it was a FEELING that could never be replicated!). We are now embarking on new territory, and I feel like the future of Pokémon video games will be changed once fans get their hands on the new Pokémon Legends: ZA. 

I would also like to thank Nintendo of America and Pokémon for giving my sons and I the opportunity to see the game a full month before release. 

We have kept quiet for too long, now here's all of the info I have to share-- from the triumphant return of MEGA Evolutions to the game's revolutionary real-time gameplay. And with the release date so close, we’ve included all the information on how you can pre-order and secure your copy or the special console bundle below!

Fully customizable player skins!

A Return to Kalos with a Grand Vision: Project Z.A.

Pokémon Legends: ZA takes us on an unforgettable journey through a massive urban redevelopment plan for Lumiose City, codenamed "Project Z.A." This isn't your typical Pokémon adventure across a sprawling region; instead, you'll be exploring a meticulously crafted cityscape, with bustling streets, verdant parks, and hidden corners waiting to be discovered. This unique setting provides a fresh new challenge and a vibrant world that feels more alive than ever before.

The Triumphant Return of MEGA Evolutions!

One of the most thrilling announcements for long-time fans is the official, full-fledged return of MEGA Evolutions! This powerful transformation mechanic, which debuted in the original Pokémon X and Y, will be a central part of the gameplay in Pokémon Legends: ZA. Imagine your favorite Pokémon unleashing a temporary, more powerful form in the heat of battle, adding immense strategic depth to your team composition and tactics. The stunning visuals of these transformations will be truly breathtaking on the Nintendo Switch 2's enhanced hardware.

Real-Time Battles and Dynamic Encounters

Building on the foundation of its predecessor, Pokémon Legends: ZA features real-time battles that seamlessly blend with exploration. You can engage with wild Pokémon directly in the overworld, giving you a sense of freedom and immersion never before seen in a main-series Pokémon game. This dynamic system makes every encounter feel more immediate and exciting, requiring quick thinking and strategic positioning as you navigate the city's terrain. The urban environment of Lumiose City provides a fantastic new playground for these action-oriented battles.

A World That Evolves with the Sun and Moon: Day and Night Cycles

Just like in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, a robust day and night cycle will have a significant impact on your journey. As the in-game clock progresses, the world of Lumiose City will change. Certain Pokémon species might only appear at specific times, and the entire atmosphere of the city will transform as day turns to night. You'll need to adapt to the changing environment and plan your exploration and battles accordingly.

A Perfect Pairing: Pokémon Legends: ZA and the Pokémon TCG

Gift Idea! Pair the Pokémon Mega Evolutions TCG with the new Pokémon Legends: ZA for the holidays!

The excitement doesn't stop with the video game! The release of Pokémon Legends: ZA is perfectly complemented by the brand-new Pokémon Trading Card Game expansion, Mega Evolution. This new set brings the powerful Mega Evolution mechanic to the TCG in a big way, with stunning new "Mega Pokémon ex" cards. Whether you're a video game player, a TCG collector, or both, the two releases work hand-in-hand.
