Here’s an overview, along with the reveal trailer:

Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave: The Heroic Games have begun. The newest entry in the Fire Emblem series is set to enter the arena.

Dragon Quest VII Reimagined

Square Enix has confirmed that Dragon Quest VII Reimagined will release for Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and Microsoft Store on February 5, 2026. The initial reveal was made during today’s Nintendo Direct, where the game was confirmed for Nintendo Switch 2.

Alongside this announcement, a Collector’s Edition of the game was revealed, featuring a Ship in a Bottle figure, Slime Plush, Steelbook, and more. You can take a look at this new edition below:

In addition to the base game and Collector’s Edition, a Digital Deluxe Edition featuring 48 hours of early access, a unique costume for playable character Ruff and three paid DLC packs will be available. Purchase any edition of the game early to receive the Early Bird Bonus, which will give players a Dragon Quest VIII costume for the Hero and three Seeds of Proficiency. Digital purchases include a Slime Shield specific to each platform.

A message from Producer Takeshi Ichikawa was also shared:

DRAGON QUEST VII Reimagined is a new version of DRAGON QUEST VII that has been rebuilt from the ground up for modern audiences.

When we decided to remake DRAGON QUEST VII, we thought deeply about the visual direction. We wanted audiences worldwide, not just in Japan, to grow fond of the charming characters designed by Akira Toriyama.

So, in order to depict the depth and feel of DRAGON QUEST VII’s story more vividly, we took on a new challenge for the DRAGON QUEST series: employing a hand-crafted art style and developing in-game environments that resembles dioramas.

DRAGON QUEST VII Reimagined not only “reimagines” the visual and emotional portrayal of its characters, but also makes the game’s story significantly more approachable and accessible.

So, whether you enjoyed DRAGON QUEST VII on its original release, struggled to collect all the tablets, or are just experiencing the DRAGON QUEST series for the first time, we believe this game will provide a satisfying experience.

We hope you all enjoy it!

Koei Tecmo has announced during today’s Nintendo Direct that Dynasty Warriors: Origins is set to launch for Nintendo Switch 2 on January 22, 2026. A new paid “large-scale” DLC is also set to release alongside the Switch 2 version.

In our 4/5 review, we wrote, “Dynasty Warriors: Origins is a great time, acting as an excellent entry point for newcomers and a treat for series veterans as well. There’s an interesting story told across five meaty chapters, with plenty of content to see and discover. If you’ve yet to experience a non-spinoff in the series, Origins is the perfect place to start.”

Donkey Kong Bananza ‘DK Island & Emerald Rush’ DLC Revealed, Out Today

Donkey Kong Bananza DK Island and Emerald Rush

Nintendo has announced the new “DK Island & Emerald Rush” DLC for Donkey Kong Bananza on Nintendo Switch 2, available today in the Nintendo eShop. The DK Island & Emerald Rush adds a new explorable area and new challenges for existing layers in Donkey Kong Bananza.

In Donkey Kong Bananza, Donkey Kong has several abilities to challenge the Void Company and get to the center of the planet. For example, he can dive punch, hand slap, surf, and perform many maneuvers while destroying and traversing obstacles in the way. Additionally, Donkey Kong Bananza has several modes. This includes co-op play that you can do via GameShare or locally. The mode allows one player to play as Pauline and unleash projectiles of destruction using the mouse functionality, and you can also carve items from stone in the DK Artist mode. 

Final Weapon reviewed Donkey Kong Bananza and gave it a 4.5 out of 5 score, stating that the game is “an immaculate return to 3D for DK. Bananza offers creativity seen in very few games in our industry have achieved. Each Layer is expertly crafted, Donkey Kong is endlessly fun to control, and the narrative is surprisingly great. While the general lack of difficulty, especially with bosses, leaves a bit to be desired, Donkey Kong Bananza is one of my favorite Nintendo games of the last decade. Let’s just hope this marks a new era of consistent Donkey Kong games.
