This week on Nintendo Pow Block
Edward Varnell and Corey Dirrig discuss the classic Nintendo question: will Switch 2 be a strong home for third-party games? This time, it feels promising.
Star Wars Outlaws on Switch 2 impresses with smooth performance, steady framerate, and even ray tracing—better than the Xbox Series S port in many ways.
Marvel Cosmic Invasion adds Black Panther and Cosmic Ghost Rider to the hero roster, while Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 return with upgraded graphics, assist options, amiibo support, and extra storybook content. Nickelodeon Splat Pack revives classic SNES and Genesis games with modern features like rewind and save/load, available for pre-order Sept. 19–Oct. 19.
CLOVERS, Hideki Kamiya and Kento Koyama’s new studio, is developing Okami 2 with Capcom, focusing on creativity and staff protection, while leaks hint at an Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag remake in March 2026, adding pirate content and RPG elements.
