The release of Diablo IV: Age of Hatred Collection on the Nintendo Switch 2 is just around the corner, launching this Wednesday, September 16. According to a My Nintendo News report, the collection bundles the base game with the Vessel of Hatred and Lord of Hatred DLCs, and will cost $69.99. Offering retail and eShop availability, this release is poised to leverage the capabilities of Nintendo’s latest hardware by including HDR and touchscreen support, as reported by Nintendo Everything. This marks a significant step as Blizzard continues to cement its presence on Nintendo platforms.
In tandem with the release of Diablo IV, Blizzard also provided a first look at Diablo V during their recent BlizzCon event. Both My Nintendo News and Nintendo Life reported on the eerie cinematic teaser, which hints at a 2029 release. While specific platforms have not been confirmed, the announcement continues to build anticipation for the future of the Diablo series.
Meanwhile, in related sales news, My Nintendo News revealed that US retailer Target will feature select first-party Nintendo games in an upcoming Customer Appreciation Sale. Titles like the Super Mario Galaxy Collection and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe will be included, although Nintendo itself has yet to officially announce the complete list of discounted games.
Additionally, Super Mario Bros. continues to surprise players decades after its initial release. An article from Nintendo Everything discusses a recently discovered Easter egg, reminding us that there are always new things to learn about classic games.
Furthermore, the sentiment around Nintendo’s hardware is echoed by Naoki Hamaguchi, director of the Final Fantasy 7 remake series. In an interview with Nintendo Everything, Hamaguchi expressed a sense of “fate” in returning to Nintendo systems, acknowledging the historical significance of the Final Fantasy series on earlier Nintendo consoles. His comments highlight the enduring brand strength and consumer loyalty that continue to drive Nintendo’s appeal, especially with new hardware like the Switch 2.
