Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 is officially coming to Nintendo Switch 2 on October 23, 2026, launching the same day as PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. This marks the first new Call of Duty game on Nintendo hardware in years, and it could be one of the biggest third-party tests for Switch 2 yet.

Tonight, we’re breaking down what Modern Warfare 4 on Switch 2 means, why day-one support matters, how crossplay could change the conversation, and whether this is the start of a real third-party shift for Nintendo. Activision says Modern Warfare 4 is being built for current-gen hardware, with the campaign centered on a conflict on the Korean Peninsula and a new version of DMZ included.

Yoshi and the Mysterious Book is here on Nintendo Switch 2, and the reviews are painting a pretty clear picture. This is not a traditional challenge-focused platformer. Reviewers are describing it as a cozy, creative, discovery-driven Yoshi game built around exploration, experimentation, and charm.

Some outlets are praising it as one of the most refreshing Yoshi games in years, while others feel it may be too gentle or lack the ambition players expect from a full Nintendo release. Today we’re breaking down the review roundup, what critics are saying, and whether Yoshi and the Mysterious Book is being judged for what it actually is, or what fans expected it to be.

Yoshi and the Mysterious Book launched for Nintendo Switch 2 on May 21, 2026.

Nintendo’s new app Pictonico launches May 28, and it lets players turn their own photos into quick mini games that look similar to WarioWare.

From companion apps to party games, photo tools, Nintendo Account features, and mobile experiences that actually support Switch and Switch 2, there is a lot Nintendo could do without trying to turn every phone app into a traditional game.

Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa has apologized for the Switch 2 price increase, while also saying the new pricing does not fully cover all cost increases. At the same time, Nintendo says it is preparing a “robust software lineup” to strengthen the value of the system.

With Splatoon Raiders, Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, Star Fox, and rumors of a Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake, the Switch 2 lineup is starting to take shape. The real question is whether Nintendo has enough coming to keep momentum strong after the price increase.
