Great morning representing Fextralife at Nintendo’s 2026 Holiday Showcase in New York! 
Nintendo really leaned into what it does best: bringing families together through games, characters, toys, movies, experiences, and now theme parks.
We got hands-on time with a number of upcoming games and updates, including Nintendo Switch Sports Resort, Pokémon Pokopia, Minecraft on Nintendo Switch 2, Minecraft Dungeons II, Monster Hunter Wilds, Star Fox, and more.
A few personal highlights:
• The new four-player couch co-op update for Star Fox brought back some serious Star Fox 64 nostalgia.
• Nintendo Switch Sports Resort was a lot of fun. I’m officially recommending the thumb wrestling.
• A special thanks to the Call of Duty team for letting us jump into a competitive match while playing the MW4 beta. That was a lot of fun, and getting to experience Call of Duty on Switch 2 firsthand was definitely a highlight.
Beyond the games, Nintendo built the entire space around its franchises, with themed food stations, photo opportunities, toys, home goods, books, music, and experiences for the whole family.
It was a great reminder of just how far Nintendo’s franchises extend beyond the games themselves.
Thanks to Nintendo of America for having Fextralife out, and another special thanks to the Call of Duty team for the competitive match!

When asked about the size of the new Fable map, Ralph Fulton said they created a map where the goal is to reward the player for exploring, not just for its size.

They want the map to grab the player's attention and reward them for it — it's packed with quests, secrets, and rewards.

He said Playground Games are experts at creating open-world maps with the Forza series, and with Fable they used that expertise to create something that is always rewarding and always catching the player's eye.

A map full of detail and dense with content.

A colossal shadow fell across the land from above the clouds, as if an ancient being were gazing down upon the wilderness.” “Then, something began to descend, its radiance swallowing the sky.” “It was... another sun!” Monster Hunter Outlanders will appear at gamescom Opening Night Live on August 25. IMHO, the shape in the image looks like it could be a monster reveal. “All will be revealed” also has me wondering if we might finally get a release window, though that part is just me guessing.

🩸 On PC, the game will release in each region at midnight CEST (UTC+2, Warsaw time).

🩸 On consoles, the game will release in each region at midnight local time – with the exception of Australia, Indonesia, and other countries with multiple time zones releasing at midnight of its capital city time; and North and South America releasing at midnight EDT (UTC-4, New York time).
