Nintendo Switch 2 gains more native software as Minecraft gets an ESRB rating

Nintendo Switch 2’s software lineup is expanding again, with Minecraft appearing in the ESRB classification database as a separate Switch 2 entry. The listing suggests a native version is on the way rather than just the backward-compatible Switch edition already playable on the system. The report says a Switch 2 version could improve performance, image quality, and stability. nintendoeverything.com

Another major release is also landing on the console this week: Square Enix has prepared a launch trailer for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth on Nintendo Switch 2. The coverage frames it as a follow-up to Final Fantasy 7 Remake and another big RPG arriving for the platform. nintendoeverything.com

Beyond those game additions, Nintendo’s broader momentum continues to show in related cross-media success and wider third-party support. The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is described as the highest-grossing title of 2026, while Hakuoki Memoirs: Drifting Clouds is set for its first English release in North America and Europe in 2027 on Nintendo Switch. Together, the items point to a busy pipeline around Nintendo’s hardware and brands. automaton-media.com nintendoeverything.com

Common questions on Nintendo, surfaced from across the indexed web.

How Much Will Pokemon Winds and Waves Cost?

An Amazon listing in Germany has Pokemon Winds and Waves priced at €79.99. That suggests the games could cost players in the U.S. $79.99, which is the same price as Mario Kart World. Nintendo has suggested that other games will be priced similarly, with the company weighing different factors to decide how much to charge. The suggestion seems to be that games that are expected to have long lifespans will cost more money, so the next Animal Crossing, Smash Bros., and numbered Splatoon game could all be a little pricier.
