Warner Bros Games confirms the LEGO Harry Potter Collection release on the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 this October.
This week’s Nintendo updates bring a mix of game announcements, reviews, and an intriguing industry tidbit. Most noteworthy is the confirmation of the LEGO Harry Potter Collection for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, which is set to release on 16th October for $49.99. While the news isn’t entirely unforeseen, it solidifies Warner Bros Games’ support for Nintendo’s latest console. Details from My Nintendo News confirm the port is by Warner Bros Games and TT Games, maintaining the beloved charm of the original.
Nintendo Switch 2 Releases and Successes
Nintendo Switch 2 continues to gain traction with its lineup. CD Projekt Red is reportedly very happy with the sales of the ‘Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition,’ a title that was part of the console’s launch lineup in 2025. Remarkably, it has shed its initial notorious reputation, now hailed as a technical marvel on the Switch 2.
The recently reviewed ‘Onimusha: Way of the Sword’ is a revival of a classic Capcom franchise. While its samurai action might seem passé given the current market saturated with similar titles, reviews indicate some skepticism about its relevance today (Nintendo Everything).
Moreover, the Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 has hit the platform, bringing with it a well-rounded compilation of stealth game sequels. For fans of this genre, it’s another chance to revisit Hideo Kojima’s acclaimed works.
New Game Announcements
Among upcoming releases, The Royal Writ is a freshly announced tactical card game from Yogscast Games and Save Sloth Studio. Slated for release on 10th September on the Nintendo Switch, the game features a storybook art style that may appeal to enthusiasts of both card games and unique visual aesthetics.
Warrior Cats: Clans of the Forest, initially unveiled only last month, is aiming for an October 23 release on both the current Switch and the Switch 2. This turn-based RPG follows a whimsical theme that might attract a diverse audience interested in strategy and animal-themed narratives.
Industry Tidbits
An interesting nugget comes from famed composer Grant Kirkhope, who hints at the struggles for a new Banjo-Kazooie title. According to My Nintendo News, he reveals three studios pitched to Microsoft and Xbox Game Studios but were apparently turned down. This suggests continued interest yet significant barriers in reviving this nostalgic IP.
Regular Updates
The ongoing support for Sonic Racing Crossworlds with new content, such as the introduction of Samba de Amigo, highlights Sega’s commitment to keeping their games lively and engaging a year post-launch, as noted by My Nintendo News. An anniversary surprise may further spark interest among the fan base.
In summary, Nintendo and third-party developers continue to enrich the Switch 2 ecosystem with a mix of revived classics, new entries, and ongoing support for existing titles. The marketplace remains vibrant, appealing to both nostalgic players and new audiences alike.
