Nashville, TN – Aug 11, 2026 – Star Fox on Nintendo Switch 2 has received acclaim from critics and fans alike. Have you played it yet? Our cover story has a detailed review of the game, along with some beautiful screenshots and fun facts.
Koopalings who’ve yet to upgrade to Switch 2 needn’t worry. This issue covers plenty of games you can still play on the original hardware. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate is a good game and has an inexpensive Upgrade Pack for when you eventually move to the new hardware. Check out our interview. Add in high-scoring reviews for games like Constance and Tomodachi Life, and original Switch players are still quite busy.
Our film-themed Let’s Talk is inspired by The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, 2026’s first billion-dollar box office blockbuster. The PNM team imagines which games we’d like to see Nintendo “movify” next.
