Prowell Asia Holdings hints at a Switch 2 release for It Takes Two, while other games make headlines in the Nintendo world.
In recent news, it appears that the acclaimed co-op game It Takes Two might be coming to the Nintendo Switch 2, thanks to a hint from Prowell Asia Holdings, a Chinese games distributor. This information, reported by My Nintendo News, includes a release date set for 15th October, along with details of a physical edition. While there’s no official confirmation from Hazelight Studios or Nintendo yet, the listing suggests another popular title making its way to the next-gen console, representing a continued trend of expanding the Switch 2’s library with well-loved games.
Notable New Releases and Sales
Among other updates, Nintendo Everything reports that Big Walk, a co-op adventure game developed by Panic and House House, has surpassed one million units sold across all platforms just six days post-launch. This promising milestone reflects the game’s appeal and could signal further success in the coming weeks.
Also hitting the shelves is Montabi, a creature-collector roguelike deckbuilder that’s now available on both the Nintendo Switch 2 and the original Switch. Published by Akupara Games and developed by Mankibo, the game combines deck building with a roguelike format, offering a fresh entry into the increasingly popular genre.
Meanwhile, Village in the Shade is preparing for its release on October 27 for both Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch, following its recent debut in Japan as Hono Gurashi no Niwa. The release timing and platform availability might position it well for a strong entry into the global market.
Hardware and Fan Projects
On the hardware side, accessory maker Genki is launching a notable new controller called the Manta. As detailed by Nintendo Life, this controller stands out with its built-in 2.79-inch screen for on-device customisation, haptic feedback, and even a headphone jack. It is an intriguing entry into the accessory market, particularly for those who love personalising their gaming setup.
Finally, a fan project is drawing attention in the Metroid community: a 2D demake of Metroid Prime, titled Metroid Prime Origins. As reported by Nintendo Life, this project from Lv.4 GAMES turns the 3D game into an NES-style 2D adventure, complete with new sprites, sounds, and music, highlighting the ongoing enthusiasm and creativity within the fan community despite the limitations of unofficial projects.
While not every story this week is monumental, each adds a layer to the evolving landscape of Nintendo gaming, from new releases and hardware innovations to intriguing developments on the fan frontier.
