Mario Kart World was originally designed for Switch 1 reveals Nintendo

Mario Kart World was originally designed for Switch 1 reveals Nintendo

Mario Kart World only works on Switch 2The new Mario Kart for the Switch 2 was not originally designed for the console, as Nintendo reveals how and when the game came to be.
The launch of a new console is always an exciting time but the first few years of a new format’s existence can be frustrating, when it’s obvious that most of the games were actually designed as titles for the previous generation of hardware.
This has been exacerbated on the PlayStation 5, where Sony continued to release cross-gen games for much longer than usual. It was equally obvious with the Switch 1, given launch title Zelda: Breath Of The Wild was released simultaneously on Wii U and many of the other first party titles were also Wii U ports.
The only similar situation so far for the Switch 2 is Metroid Prime 4, which is primarily a Switch 1 title, but Nintendo has revealed that Mario Kart World was originally designed for the earlier console, until they realised it was never going to work on the older hardware.
Nintendo has revealed that they first started thinking about the new game way back in March 2017, when the Switch 1 was originally released. That’s not too surprising, as Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is a Wii U port and technically there’s never been a new Mario Kart made for the Switch 1.
‘I felt that in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, we were able to perfect the formula that we’d been following in the series up to that point, where players race on individual courses,’ says Mario Kart World producer Kosuke Yabuki in a new interview.
‘That’s why, this time, we wanted the gameplay to involve players driving around a large world, and we began creating a world map like this.’
The idea that Mario Kart 8 takes the original idea as far as it can go has been echoed by many, with Mario Kart World appearing to be the series’ Breath Of The Wild moment, where it radically changes the franchise’s approach.
No previous Mario Kart game has had an open world environment but according to programming director Kenta Sato, the current Switch 1 couldn’t handle the ideas they wanted to include.
‘We discussed things like toning down the visuals, lowering the resolution, and we even considered dropping the frame rate to 30 fps in some cases. It was a tough situation,’ he admitted.
‘Once we decided to release this game on Switch 2, we expected our worries to evaporate all at once. I remember being overjoyed when I discovered we could express even more than we’d originally set out to.’
According to Sato, the decision to move the game to the Switch 2 took place ‘around 2020’, which enabled the team to expand their plans and ensure the game would still run at 60fps.

‘Back then, we already had an idea of the next console’s expected specs, but it wasn’t until a bit later that we actually received working development units. Until then, we just had to proceed with development based on provisional estimates,’ says Sato.
‘Once we decided to release this game on Switch 2, we expected our worries to evaporate all at once. I remember being overjoyed when I discovered we could express even more than we’d originally set out to.’
The whole four part interview is well worth a read on Nintendo’s website, with a lot of insight on both the game and how Nintendo prepares for the launch of a new console.
Mario Kart World will launch alongside the console itself on June 5. Controversially, the game is £75 for the physical edition and £67 for a digital download. However, the game is effectively half price if bought along with the console, as part of the official hardware bundle.

Random: Some Switch Fans Are Convinced Mario Paint Is Returning

Image: Nintendo
Nintendo has released a new batch of Switch Online icons and the theme is focused on the 'Nintendo Classics' libraries available on Switch and coming soon to the Switch 2. Now, while it might not seem like a big deal, there's one icon that has got some fans very excited.
As you can see in the graphic below, in Wave 3, there's a mouse...a Super Nintendo mouse. There's been mounting evidence about support for games including this feature being added to the service, and now Nintendo is just casually showing off the accessory as part of this library.
Admittedly, it's not the first time Nintendo has highlighted other devices and accessories from its extensive history as icons, but many fans are still hopeful.
"Mario Paint...actually gonna be a thing on this service," said one response on social media. Another Nintendo fan simply typed "Mario Paint confirmed" in all caps alongside an image of the game's box art, while many others were generally in disbelief Nintendo had acknowledged this particular accessory.

Of course, adding to this is the fact the Switch 2's Joy-Con 2 controllers now also have mouse capabilities - allowing you to play games with mouse-like controls. You can even swap on the fly in games like Metroid Prime 4: Beyond from normal Joy-Con controls to Joy-Con mouse movement.
Mario Paint was originally released on the Super Nintendo in 1992 and although it appears to be the fan favourite mouse title, various other games on the same system also included support for this unique SNES accessory.

Now, while it might not seem like a big deal, there's one icon that has got some fans very excited. As you can see in the graphic below, in Wave 3, there's a mouse...a Super Nintendo mouse. There's been mounting evidence about support for games including this feature being added to the service, and now Nintendo is just casually showing off the accessory as part of this library. Admittedly, it's not the first time Nintendo has highlighted other devices and accessories from its extensive history as icons, but many fans are still hopeful. "Mario Paint...actually gonna be a thing on this service," said one response on social media. Another Nintendo fan simply typed "Mario Paint confirmed" in all caps alongside an image of the game's box art, while many others were generally in disbelief Nintendo had acknowledged this particular accessory. Image: Nintendo Of course, adding to this is the fact the Switch 2's Joy-Con 2 controllers now also have mouse capabilities - allowing you to play games with mouse-like controls. You can even swap on the fly in games like Metroid Prime 4: Beyond from normal Joy-Con controls to Joy-Con mouse movement. Mario Paint was originally released on the Super Nintendo in 1992 and although it appears to be the fan favourite mouse title, various other games on the same system also included support for this unique SNES accessory.

Two Samus Figures Based On Metroid: Other M Are Making A Return In 2026

Image: The Good Smile Company
Good Smile Company has announced it will be bringing back a pair of Metroid: Other M figures, which were originally released in 2012 and 2016.
This includes figma of 'Samus Aran' and 'Samus Aran: Zero Suit ver'. These listings are only for Japan at the moment and are due to ship early next year in 2026. Here's a look, along with a description of both:
Image: The Good Smile Company

From 'METROID Other M' comes a rerelease of figma Samus Aran!
・Using the smooth yet poseable joints of figma, you can act out a variety of different scenes.
・A flexible plastic is used which allows proportions to be kept without compromising posability.
・Various extras including the popular 'Morph Ball', two beam effects, and a part to pose her shooting missiles are included.
・Five alternate left hand parts are included, such as an open hand, a gripped hand and the classic 'thumbs-up' hand
・A poseable figma stand is included, which allows various poses to be taken.Image: The Good Smile Company

From the popular action game 'Metroid: Other M' comes a figma of the main character with her power suit removed - Samus Aran: Zero Suit ver.
・Using the smooth yet posable joints of figma, you can act out a variety of different scenes.
・A flexible plastic is used for important areas, allowing proportions to be kept without compromising posability.
・She comes with both a calm and collected glaring expression and a gentle smiling expression.
・A variety of interchangeable hand parts including the 'Samus thumbs up' are included.
・Her handgun and Adam's helmet are included as accessories to display with her.
・An alternate head part with short hair is also included, allowing you to display the younger Samus.
・An articulated figma stand is included, which allows various poses to be taken.
If we hear any updates about a local re-release, we'll let you know. This follows Nintendo renewing a few Metroid video game trademarks recently.

But don't get your hopes up

Would you be interested in either or both of these figures? Do you already have them? Let us know in the comments.Related Games

Published on May 20, 2025

Nintendo will be present at Gamescom 2025, having skipped the event last year.
The company confirmed it would be returning to the annual German event, which is the highest attended gaming convention in the world, in a post on social media.
"Mark your calendar in red: Nintendo will be back at @gamescom in 2025," Nintendo's German X account announced, adding it is "forward to welcoming you to Cologne from August 20th to 24th!"

Nintendo Switch 2 Hands-On Preview: Mario Kart World Impressions & More! Watch on YouTube
Yes, Gamescom will be held in August, which - as I'm sure you're aware - is after Nintendo Switch 2 releases. So, with that in mind, what can those attending the convention expect to see from the Mario maker?
Well, Nintendo hasn't shared specifics. However, two of Nintendo's biggest first party games Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza will have already been released by the time Gamescom comes around, though it seems likely these will be available for players to demo while in Cologne.
"Yes, everyone might have been expecting Mario, but Bananza's brawny obliteration is far better suited to his one-time enemy," our former EIC Tom Phillips wrote after going hands-on with Donkey Kong Bananza.

Meanwhile, other games coming to the Switch successor have also been available to try out at other events including Metroid Prime 4, so it again seems fair to assume it will be playable at Nintendo's Gamescom booth. Maybe we will hear a firm release date around then, as well.
Our Ed called Metroid Prime 4 "the best example of Switch 2's varied control capabilities" when he took the upcoming release for a spin earlier this year, though for now he isn't totally convinced by the mouse.
"I played Metroid Prime 4 with each Joy-Con 2 placed on my thighs. This worked surprisingly well, with the controls still responsive despite being on an uneven surface. Nintendo told me the sensitivity can be tweaked too, allowing for smaller movements," he wrote in Eurogamer's Metroid Prime 4 demo preview.
"Still, how usable this method is will likely depend on the size of your thighs: if you don't have enough real estate to move the controller around, you'll be moving based on quick adjustments rather than smooth, sweeping motions."We will keep you posted with any more news regarding Gamescom 2025, and of course Switch 2, as and when we hear more. In the meantime, you can check out our handy guide to all Nintendo Switch 2 launch games here.

Image credit: Nintendo News by Victoria Kennedy News Reporter Published on May 20, 2025 Nintendo will be present at Gamescom 2025, having skipped the event last year. The company confirmed it would be returning to the annual German event, which is the highest attended gaming convention in the world, in a post on social media. "Mark your calendar in red: Nintendo will be back at @gamescom in 2025," Nintendo's German X account announced, adding it is "[looking] forward to welcoming you to Cologne from August 20th to 24th!" Nintendo Switch 2 Hands-On Preview: Mario Kart World Impressions & More! Watch on YouTube Yes, Gamescom will be held in August, which - as I'm sure you're aware - is after Nintendo Switch 2 releases. So, with that in mind, what can those attending the convention expect to see from the Mario maker? Well, Nintendo hasn't shared specifics. However, two of Nintendo's biggest first party games Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza will have already been released by the time Gamescom comes around, though it seems likely these will be available for players to demo while in Cologne. "Yes, everyone might have been expecting Mario, but Bananza's brawny obliteration is far better suited to his one-time enemy," our former EIC Tom Phillips wrote after going hands-on with Donkey Kong Bananza. To see this content please enable targeting cookies. Meanwhile, other games coming to the Switch successor have also been available to try out at other events including Metroid Prime 4, so it again seems fair to assume it will be playable at Nintendo's Gamescom booth. Maybe we will hear a firm release date around then, as well. Our Ed called Metroid Prime 4 "the best example of Switch 2's varied control capabilities" when he took the upcoming release for a spin earlier this year, though for now he isn't totally convinced by the mouse (as a reminder, the Switch 2 Joy-Con will boast mouse functionality on the console's release). "I played Metroid Prime 4 with each Joy-Con 2 placed on my thighs. This worked surprisingly well, with the controls still responsive despite being on an uneven surface. Nintendo told me the sensitivity can be tweaked too, allowing for smaller movements," he wrote in Eurogamer's Metroid Prime 4 demo preview. "Still, how usable this method is will likely depend on the size of your thighs: if you don't have enough real estate to move the controller around, you'll be moving based on quick adjustments rather than smooth, sweeping motions." (Personally, I have quite generous thigh real estate.) We will keep you posted with any more news regarding Gamescom 2025, and of course Switch 2, as and when we hear more. In the meantime, you can check out our handy guide to all Nintendo Switch 2 launch games here.

Anima Flux: How to Survive the Dystopia – Top Tips for Playing Solo or in Co-op

SummaryAnima Flux is now available on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One.Play solo or team up in two-player co-op.Check out our survival tips to get the most out of your first run.

The mutant apocalypse has arrived — and Anima Flux drops you right in the middle of it. Now available on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One, this action-packed dystopian adventure invites players to step into the roles of Roy and Eileen, genetically enhanced soldiers of a failing theocratic regime. Their mission? Fight through waves of bio-mutants and uncover the haunting truths behind the collapse of humanity’s last space city.

Whether you’re taking on this brutal world solo or with a partner in two-player co-op, survival will depend on how well you understand your characters’ strengths — and how you adapt your strategy to the challenges ahead.

Playing in Co-op Mode: Roy and Eileen as a Team

In Anima Flux, the heart of co-op play lies in the synergy between Roy and Eileen. Roy is your melee powerhouse — a close-range combatant who can take hits and dish them out. Eileen, in contrast, is an agile archer, delivering devastating damage from a distance while offering cover and tactical flexibility.

Key Tips for Co-op Success

Stick together, but play your roles. Roy should lead the charge and draw enemy attention, while Eileen positions herself to snipe from behind cover.

Use Eileen’s mobility to kite or flank. Her ranged attacks can soften enemies before they reach Roy, and she’s great for clearing out flying enemy clusters from safe spots.

Revive wisely. If one of you goes down, you can bring them back to life, but make sure the path is clear before attempting a revive.

Stay united. Co-op is key — some obstacles, like pressure plates and locked lifts, can only be bypassed through teamwork.

Playing Solo: One Mind, Two Warriors

If you’re braving Anima Flux on your own, don’t worry — the solo experience has been carefully tuned to be just as rewarding. You’ll be able to swap between Roy and Eileen on the fly, using their abilities to respond to whatever horrors the game throws your way.

Top Strategies for Solo Play

Switch strategically. Roy is perfect for crowd control and absorbing damage, while Eileen excels at taking down priority targets from afar. Use the right character for each scenario.

Learn enemy patterns. Managing two characters means efficiency is everything. Knowing when and where enemies spawn gives you the edge to position both characters effectively.

Use the AI to your advantage. While controlling one character, the other will act based on your positioning — try leading enemies into ambush zones or using one character to distract while the other unleashes abilities.

Keep moving. Especially early on, when dash abilities are limited, positioning is critical. Jump-dodging and terrain awareness can help you avoid incoming damage.

A World That Doesn’t Forgive — But Rewards Mastery

At its core, Anima Flux isn’t just about hacking and slashing through mutants. It’s about mastering rhythm and strategy — learning how to survive in a world that’s falling apart. Whether you’re playing with a friend or taking it on alone, every choice matters, every encounter is dangerous, and every victory feels earned.

This is a world where death is always looming — but that just makes survival sweeter.

Ready to Fight?

Anima Flux is available now on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One. Download it today and step into a world of tactical combat, haunting beauty, and unforgiving odds. Roy and Eileen are waiting — will you survive?

Co-Op Metroidvania
The unusual spin of the genre, turns the classic metroidvania into a fun, couch co-op adventure. Both characters develop differently as the game goes on.

Search for the truth and prepare for incredible twists and turns.

Unique visual style

You can play Switch 2 at Gamescom 2025 as Nintendo confirms attendance

The Switch 2 will be at Gamescom this yearAfter skipping last year’s event, Nintendo has confirmed it will be attending Gamescom 2025, just two months after the Switch 2’s launch.
Now that E3 is no more, Gamescom is the world’s biggest gaming event, based on its size and visitor numbers, but one company was notably absent last year.
Nintendo skipped last year’s event, held annually in Cologne, Germany, and while no explicit reason was given at the time, it was presumably so the company could prepare for the Switch 2’s launch.
Nintendo has now confirmed it will return for Gamescom 2025, which takes place from August 20 until August 24.
The news was announced on Nintendo’s German account on X. ‘Mark your calendar in red,’ the post reads. ‘Nintendo will be back at Gamescom in 2025. We look forward to welcoming you to Cologne from August 20th to 24th!’
There are no details on what Nintendo will show, but it will likely focus on the Switch 2 line-up beyond its initial launch on June 5, 2025.

Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza will both be released by the time Gamescom 2025 rolls around, so it might be the place to showcase Metroid Prime 4: Beyond and Pokémon Legends Z-A, which are both slated for later this year, albeit without exact release dates.

More Trending

Drag x Drive, aka the wheelchair basketball game, is also set to launch at some point in the summer, while Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Imprisonment and Kirby Air Riders both have vague 2025 release dates, so it’s possible they could be playable too.
Neither Microsoft or Sony have announced whether they’re attending Gamescom 2025, but the latter has skipped for the last several years. With Marathon and Ghost of Yōtei on the horizon though, it’s possible Sony could make an appearance.
As usual, Gamescom 2025 will be preceded by Opening Night Live, hosted by Geoff Keighley, which serves as a starting presentation for the event with game announcements.
Before Gamescom, Keighley is set to host Summer Game Fest on Friday June 6, which will be followed by an Xbox showcase on Sunday, June 8.

Physint Requires “5 or 6 Years” to Develop, Says Hideo Kojima

Physint Requires “5 or 6 Years” to Develop, Says Hideo Kojima
After that, the director of Death Stranding 2 may "finally decide to make a film," especially since he's "getting on in years."

Posted By Ravi Sinha | On 18th, May. 2025

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is shaping up to be one of 2025’s biggest games and a strong follow-up to the original. However, Kojima Productions has two other projects – the horror-focused OD published by Xbox Game Studios and Physint, a new stealth action IP with Sony.
Director Hideo Kojima noted how both titles faced development hurdles due to the SAG-AFTRA Strike, but he’s seemingly provided a window for Physint’s release. And it’s a ways off.
On Twitter, Ayako Terashima, Kojima’s assistant, posted a short clip of him flipping through Le Film français to a recent interview. Resetera’s Red Kong XIX extracted the text from the section in question and translated it through DeepL, where Kojima discusses Physint taking “another five or six years.”
When asked if he’d like to direct a film someday, Kojima responded, “Yes, I would! I had many offers after I left Konami, with serious conditions for developing games in my independent studio. Alongside Death Stranding 2, there’s Physint in development. It will take me another five or six years.
“But maybe after that, I’ll finally decide to make a film. I grew up with cinema. Directing would be a kind of tribute to it. What’s more, I’m getting on in years, and I’d rather do it while I’m still young!”
If Physint launches by 2030 or 2031, it could be on the PlayStation 6. Regardless, there’s plenty of time to learn more, including its final name, story, and mechanics.
In the meantime, head here to learn about how Kojima considers Death Stranding 2: On the Beach an updated version of Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain. The PS5 exclusive launches on June 26th.

Physint Requires “5 or 6 Years” to Develop, Says Hideo Kojima

News Physint Requires “5 or 6 Years” to Develop, Says Hideo Kojima After that, the director of Death Stranding 2 may "finally decide to make a film," especially since he's "getting on in years." Posted By Ravi Sinha | On 18th, May. 2025 Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is shaping up to be one of 2025’s biggest games and a strong follow-up to the original. However, Kojima Productions has two other projects – the horror-focused OD published by Xbox Game Studios and Physint, a new stealth action IP with Sony. Director Hideo Kojima noted how both titles faced development hurdles due to the SAG-AFTRA Strike, but he’s seemingly provided a window for Physint’s release. And it’s a ways off. On Twitter, Ayako Terashima, Kojima’s assistant, posted a short clip of him flipping through Le Film français to a recent interview. Resetera’s Red Kong XIX extracted the text from the section in question and translated it through DeepL, where Kojima discusses Physint taking “another five or six years.” When asked if he’d like to direct a film someday, Kojima responded, “Yes, I would! I had many offers after I left Konami, with serious conditions for developing games in my independent studio. Alongside Death Stranding 2, there’s Physint in development. It will take me another five or six years. “But maybe after that, I’ll finally decide to make a film. I grew up with cinema. Directing would be a kind of tribute to it. What’s more, I’m getting on in years, and I’d rather do it while I’m still young!” If Physint launches by 2030 or 2031, it could be on the PlayStation 6 (for which rumors have been circulating). Regardless, there’s plenty of time to learn more, including its final name, story, and mechanics.
