This week on the Pure Nintendo Podcast, Jemma, Kirk, and Trev discuss the latest news, including a major update for the Switch 2 that allows Switch games to be played in a higher resolution in handheld mode.
On last week’s show, we discussed the wonderful new Pokémon Pokopia. This week, the Pokémon discussion continues with the release of Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, the latest GameCube title to hit the Switch 2 Online Classics. What do Trev and Jemma think?
We also discuss battery accessibility – will there be a new Switch 2 version with better access? Plus, we talk Nintendo Music, play a fun octopus-themed demo, revisit a classic game in Kirk’s Corner, and go through the games we’re playing. We end with a look at how and when to review games a perfect score.
Phew! Enjoy the show!
It’s an exciting time for Nintendo fans, with this being the first full year of the Switch 2. There’s plenty to look forward to – and we certainly look forward to reporting on all things Nintendo each and every week in 2026.
