    Gameloft's Bluey's Happy Snaps is out on Switch 2, tasking players with photographing specific objects and creatures across the Heeler house, beach, park and more, collecting at least 15 stickers to unlock each new area. The game runs at 60fps with three special photo minigames per location, and every menu option features voiceovers from Bandit and Chilli's voice actors. Touchscreen support is included but doesn't work properly, though analogue stick controls function well.

    Nintendo executive confirms company has "no plans to ditch physical games"

    Nintendo of Latin America VP and general manager Bill van Zyll said in an interview with YouTuber Coelho no Japão that the company has no plans to ditch physical games and will keep investing in physical media for the foreseeable future. He said Nintendo has historically been "agnostic" and goes off what the consumer prefers, noting the Switch 2 is barely over a year into its life and supports both digital and physical.

    Modder finds cheat codes to unlock F-Zero GX's five golden cars

    Japanese modder BTEST4HE found that F-Zero GX's five golden cars were always unlockable through cheat codes, though they require four players to input simultaneously with a 10-frame window. The cars were previously given out only at Japanese events, and players have confirmed the codes work on all versions, including the Switch 2 GameCube library. The five cars are Thunderstorm, El Dorado, Chrono Symphony, Bahamut and Gladiator, with CGN estimating only 256 people obtained El Dorado through official channels.

    Grand Theft Ocarina Could Be Gaming's Barbenheimer

    Nintendo is releasing its Ocarina of Time remake in November, making it the only publisher bold enough to bring a major new release to retail in the same month as Grand Theft Auto 6. A Saturday Night Live sketch framed the two games as a gaming Barbenheimer, though their release dates are actually two weeks apart and the Ocarina remake is a dramatically smaller production. If the culture-clash event catches on, Ocarina of Time could ride GTA 6's slipstream to wider awareness.
