Nintendo will soon let you gift games on Switch and Switch 2.

You’ll only be able to gift digital games to people that you’re in a family group with, but still, it’s nice to see that this feature will exist at all. It’s set to roll out on November 16th, Nintendo says. [Image: https://platform.theverge.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/11/4._Gift_on_HOME_screen_English.jpeg?quality=90&strip=all]

Nintendo’s latest Zelda remake is a smash hit.

More than 5.2 million copies of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time were sold in the first four days following its launch on November 5th. That’s the blockbuster hit the Switch 2 console has been waiting for, and a thematically appropriate throwback to the boost that The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild gave to the original Switch.

Nintendo’s game sales offset weaker Switch 2 demand.

Nintendo’s Switch 2 sales decreased by 37.4 percent year-over-year to 6.49 million units in the recent two quarters. That all adds up to just over 26 million total Switch 2 sales since its launch last year. Despite the year-over-year dip, Nintendo sold 24.49 million Switch 2 games during the first half of the year, up 19 percent compared to the same period last year.
