eFootball Kick-Off!

Switch 2·Sports·Konami Digital Entertainment·2026

Nintendo Life Staff · Jun 3, 2026

“You seen one football game, you've seen Yamal. In a sense, the arrival of eFootball on Switch 2 is something of a homecoming for Konami, whose long-running football series started off as a Nintendo exclusive decades ago. Whether you want to start the timeline with NES game…”

“007 First Light is built on the bones of IO Interactive’s Hitman, and makes no effort to hide that fact. But it’s far from just Agent 47 in a wig and doing his best posh English boarding school accent. The section that properly convinced me of this, ironically, is…”

“Anything but a hollow experience. Over a decade since Yacht Club Games made its mark on the indie scene with Shovel Knight, the studio is finally back with its next big nod to retro games, Mina the Hollower. Instead of going the 2D platformer route again, Mina the Hollower lives…”

“Here is a game that feels like an adventure. And it feels like it was an adventure to make, too. Mina the Hollower took six years to design and build, six years that took it from what sounds like a kind of coding doodle to a panoramic journey across a richly imagined island,…”

“Mechanicus 2 is a decent strategy game, but the original was a vibe, as the kids say-if the kids spent a lot of time playing turn-based tactics games where cybernetic zealots fought robot mummies.”

“Yacht Club Games has successfully made the leap from Mario-inspired side-on platforming to Zelda-style adventure, delivering another retro-styled masterpiece. Mina the Hollower is an intricate, challenging yet accessible adventure packed with content, set against a gorgeous 8-bit gothic backdrop.”
