This week in the Nintendo realm, while there hasn’t been any earth-shattering news, there are a couple of developments worth noting. These include a lineup of new pre-orders for Switch 2 games and products, as well as announcements related to upcoming system maintenance.
Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-orders Open for Various Titles
Nintendo fans can look forward to a flurry of new pre-orders becoming available for the Switch 2. According to Nintendo Everything, upcoming games like ‘Minecraft Dungeons 2’, slated for release on September 29, and ‘Xenoblade Chronicles 2 – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition’, available from October 1, are among the highlights for the U.S. market. The offering also includes ‘Lies of P: Complete Edition’ on October 2, which indicates that Nintendo continues its strategy of building a rich library for the Switch 2, banking on popular and diversely appealing titles.
Additionally, new LEGO Super Mario sets are among the various products that can now be pre-ordered.

Upcoming Nintendo Maintenance
Nintendo has also published its maintenance schedule for the coming weeks, which is particularly important for active users relying on online services. As reported by Nintendo Everything, this schedule includes multiple sessions, with the noticeable impact beginning in mid-October. During this time, services associated with Nintendo Switch Online, save data and system transfers, as well as eShop functionalities, will experience downtime.
This kind of maintenance is routine, but crucial in maintaining the integrity and performance of Nintendo’s online services. It underscores Nintendo’s commitment to ensuring a stable and secure user experience, particularly as the company continues expanding its digital offerings. This preparation is likely in response to the growing demands on Nintendo’s infrastructure as more players engage with the evolving ecosystem of the Switch 2.
