Nintendo Switch 2 & Pokémon GO 10-Year Fest

Overview

Capcom’s Devil May Cry 5: Devil Hunter Edition launched on the Nintendo Switch 2 on 23 June 2026, running a stable 60 fps with optional 120 fps in handheld mode. Reviewers noted the console’s lack of docked variable-refresh-rate (VRR) despite strong handheld performance, a shortcoming highlighted alongside Bandai Namco’s Tekken arcade port, which supports VRR but is limited to local multiplayer. Nintendo’s Switch 2 schedule continued with Playstack’s roguelike RACCOIN (autumn) and Soft Source & Glory Jam’s Grim Trials (20 August). Niantic’s Pokémon GO marked its 10-year anniversary with a series of events. A week-long celebration (29 June–5 July) introduced new colour variants of Squawkabilly, shadow forms, and a super-rare Gimmighoul coin. A Latin-America-only “Ponte la #10” event (30 June–10 July) boosted spawns of starter Pokémon. Global festivities featured exclusive attack moves for Kanto starters, a rebrand of the development team to Scopely Explore, and a surprise Times Square raid on 9–10 July where over 1,000 trainers battled Mega Mewtwo Y. Following community feedback, developers confirmed that the rare Mewtwo with the Times Square background would be made available again. A global Timed Research event running until 6 September 2026 offered a guaranteed encounter with a 100% IV Mewtwo and a special commemorative background. Anniversary activities continued in late August. A PokémonXP panel broadcast on Twitch during the 2026 Pokémon World Championships weekend offered limited-time research for a Pikachu wearing a Cosmog space suit. On 27 August, a Spotlight Hour featured Mankey with double catch candy and the exclusive move ‘Fury Swipes’. Leading into Pokémon GO Fest 2026: Mega Finale (5–6 September), the Mega Ascension event provided access to Mega Starmie and Mega Raichu (X and Y) raids.
