This week on Nintendo Pow Block
This week on Nintendo Pow Block, Edward Varnell flies solo to talk about some of the bigger news stories for Nintendo Switch 2.
Nintendo is shaking things up in a big way! The company is officially expanding its first-party music offerings, teaming up with Laced Records to release The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild soundtrack on vinyl for the first time ever. Launching June 19, 2026, fans can choose between a 2LP set ($49) with 34 tracks or a massive 8LP box set ($195) featuring 130 tracks.
Meanwhile, Capcom is going all in for the Switch 2 with the Resident Evil Generation Pack, bundling Biohazard, Village, and Requiem on game-key cards for $89.99, plus a new RE Requiem Pro Controller and Grace Ashcroft Amiibo dropping later this summer.
Nintendo’s week wasn’t without drama—winning a piracy lawsuit against streamer Jessie Keighin ($17,500 in damages), but losing a monster-catching patent case in Japan.
Finally, Animal Crossing: New Horizons is getting a major Switch 2 re-release on January 15, 2026, boasting upgraded graphics, 12-player multiplayer, mouse mode, and more! Existing players can upgrade for just $4.99.
