Games Inbox: Will Nintendo Switch 2 have motion controls? Motion to includeNow a few weeks have passed, it’s kind of surprising how little we’ve really learned about the Nintendo Switch 2. So I just wanted to ask one question I haven’t seen mentioned anywhere else and that’s whether the Switch 2 will have motion controls? Watching the reveal trailer, they go out of their way to show the Joy-Cons working in terms of pressing buttons and moving the analogue stick, plus the new mouse feature, but they never show them using motion controls.

Ninja Gaiden 4 by makers of Bayonetta out in 2025 – Ninja Gaiden 2 Black out now The mystery game in the Xbox Developer Direct was not quite such a mystery after all, as it’s revealed to be Ninja Gaiden 4 for Xbox and PS5. Despite Microsoft making a promise of a surprise new game reveal, during its Developer Direct on Thursday evening, the rumours quickly narrowed down what it was to either an Ecco The Dolphin reboot or a new Ninja Gaiden. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it’s the latter which turned out to be right, although the annoucement that Ninja Gaiden…

The Traitors ‘blindsided’ star Minah reveals fate-sealing mistake – and it’s not Charlotte Few could have predicted Charlotte’s machiavellian streak on The Traitors; least of all her recruiter, Minah, who was committed to the sisterhood.

Developer Direct round-up: the big questions about Xbox’s 2025 line-up GameCentral gives an overview of the latest Xbox Developer Direct and is impressed by the quality of the games and the density of Microsoft’s release schedule. They may be a tad overproduced, with that tinge of insincerity that seems to permeate most Microsoft events, but the Xbox Developer Directs are now firmly established as something to genuinely look forward to. Nintendo Directs are still the gold standard for such showcases, with their usually endless stream of reveals and a minimum of blather, but Microsoft’s equivalents are far more consistent than…
