The latest Professor Layton brings a steampunk vibe, and it boasts “the biggest collection of puzzles in series history.” It launches on the Switch 2 on December 10th.

We knew that Part 2 of the Pokopia DLC would feature wearable accessories and add Snubbull, but now we’ve seen more of the new pokémon that will be added, including Skitty, Braixen, and Doduo. Skitty in particular is the perfect candidate for playing dress-up.

If you ever wondered what Fox McCloud gets up to outside of his ship, well, that’s what the GameCube classic Star Fox Adventures is for. The game is coming to the Switch 2 for NSO subscribers later today, while a free update is also coming to the new Star Fox remake later this month.

It was briefly shown during Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Direct today, but Hori’s website now has a listing for its $49.99 electronic ocarina. You can play your own songs by pushing buttons, play one of 12 pre-programmed songs from the games, use it with the Ocarina of Time remake’s sound recognition feature, or connect headphones for a private jam session.

During its The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Direct today, Nintendo briefly shared a teaser for its next collaboration with Lego.

Jsaux has launched the Elite Extender, a $39.99 accessory for the original Nintendo Switch Pro controller that reminds me a bit of Sony’s Back Button Attachment for the PS4.

Jsaux is launching the S1 Pro, a small $49.99 wireless controller that can wake the Switch 2, and connect to various other platforms via Bluetooth, 2.4GHz, or USB-C. It features Switch-like TMR sticks, gyro controls, and adjustable trigger throw distances.

Nintendo announced two Switch 2 bundles arriving this fall, following the $50 price increase for the console starting September 1st. One’s familiar (a $549.99 Mario Kart World bundle that also includes three months of Nintendo Switch Online) and one’s new (containing Switch Sports Resort and the Switch Online trial for $529.99).

It’s been nearly six years since Nintendo stopped making the 3DS but that hasn’t preevnted the console from learning new tricks.
