Wario World is now available as part of the GameCube games you can play with a Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscription. Nintendo’s trailer for the release has hilariously dramatic music that I’m guessing will rival anything shown at tomorrow’s Game Awards.
You can try to get one on Nintendo’s website, as spotted by Wario64, though it’s only available for paid Nintendo Switch Online members. Good luck snagging one.

Alongside today’s Metroid Prime 4: Beyond release for the Switch and Switch 2 consoles, music from the game is also available on the Nintendo Music app. Judging by our review and AMA responses, you might need those tunes to keep you entertained while exploring the vast in-game desert.
But first, you gotta ask ‘em. My colleague Andrew Webster and I will host a Metroid Prime 4 AMA at 1PM ET for Verge subscribers here. Get your questions in now but please, nothing spoilery. I don’t want Samus coming after me on her cool bike...or do I?
The latest Metroid nails the mood and action, but its new additions often feel out of place.
While, the latest trailer for Pokémon Legends: Z-A’s upcoming Mega Dimension expansion introduces a new kind of Mega Lucario, the real surprise is that Mewtwo has been added to the game as part of a new side quest that you can play starting today.
For Cyber Monday, Walmart has knocked a cool $50 off the Switch 2 console bundle that includes a copy of Mario Kart World. Instead of paying $499 (already a savings of $30 compared to buying the $79 game separately), you now get the game for free at $449. This likely won’t last long.
If you need an alternative to quality family time over the next few days, Battletoads and Ninja Gaiden 2 have been added to the Switch’s NES app, while Bionic Commando and Kid Icarus are now in the Game Boy app. Both apps now also let you remap your controller using the in-game menu.
I’m deeply regretting skipping preorders for Analogue’s reimagined N64 console now that 8BitDo has updated its 64 Bluetooth controller with a new retro gray color scheme. At $45 it’s more expensive than the $40 black and white versions, but those colored buttons are hitting all my nostalgia buttons.
The mythical pokémon Zeraora has been almost impossible to obtain in the mainline games since it was first introduced in Ultra Sun / Ultra Moon. But that’s probably going to change next month when the monster’s new Mega Evolved form debuts in Pokémon Legends: Z-A’s Mega Dimension DLC.
0Aspyr has shadow dropped Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition on both Nintendo Switch consoles. For the first time, you’ll be able to play the 2013 game that rebooted the Tomb Raider franchise on the Nintendo Switch family of systems.
But if modern Lara with her modern video game conventions aren’t your thing, Aspyr has also released remastered versions of the classic Tomb Raider games as well.
0The company behind the Analogue Pocket is back with its latest game console, which plays N64 games in 4K.
Apropos of it being Monday, Nintendo has just shared a handful of new photos from its upcoming live-action The Legend of Zelda movie starring Bo Bragason and Benjamin Evan. The pics don’t tell us much about the movie’s story, but Zelda’s blue outfit suggests it’ll involve elements from the Breath of the Wild timeline.
Nintendo shared an overview video today for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, which comes out on December 4th on Switch and Switch 2. A lot of it looks like classic Metroid Prime, but the chatty companions worry me (and I’m not the only one).
A report from Kotaku notes that a recent Switch 2 update is causing problems. The 21.0.0 update adds some quality of life tweaks, but according to multiple posts on Reddit and elsewhere, the update has also apparently made some third-party docks stop working that even a full restart won’t fix. It’s unknown whether Nintendo intended the update brick users’ docks or if it was simply an accident.

There’s a new extended trailer for Pokémon Pokopia showing off more of the monsters you’ll encounter on your cozy island like Professor Tangrowth, Peakychu, and Smearguru. It’s all very cute, but the trailer also makes it clear that these pokémon are living in the wake of some kind of wild catastrophe.
Pokémon Pokopia is a Minecraft-like cozy game in which you play as a “Ditto that has taken the appearance of a human,” learning to build homes, farm crops, and other activities you wouldn’t expect a Ditto to do. If that sounds like your kinda game, it’ll be available on the Switch 2 next year.
Nintendo is going to release the first proper trailer for Super Mario Galaxy — the movie, not the game — on Wednesday at 9AM ET. You can probably expect to see an appearance from Yoshi.
