'Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade' Lands Nintendo Switch 2 Release
Announced via Nintendo's latest Creator's Voice episode, Hamaguchi revealed that it was possible to bring the game to the handheld platform due to the improvements of the Switch 2 over its predecessor, stating that 'With the power of the Switch 2, we can now recreate Midgar with full specs.'
The game will also incorporate the console's GameChat feature, allowing players to share their screens and talk to friends in real time while playing. 'Being able to play this game on the Switch 2 in handheld mode means you can play it on the train while commuting to work,' Hamaguchi added, 'I'm very excited to see this game playable on a portable system [and] I have high hopes that we can build a strong partnership between Nintendo and the Final Fantasy brand.'
Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is the enhanced PS5 version of the original 2020 remake on the PS4, which not only improved the title's graphical fidelity and framerate, but also included its Intermission DLC, which featured the Materia Hunter Yuffie Kisaragi. The game greatly expanded upon Square Enix's classic 1997 RPG Final Fantasy VII , offering the definitive way to relive the Midgar experience.
Although only Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade has been confirmed for Nintendo's latest console so far, Hamaguchi did suggest that the other games in the trilogy, 2024's Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and its upcoming final entry, will head to the Switch 2 sometime in the future, as he ended the video by saying: 'I hope players are looking forward to the Final Fantasy VII Remake series on Switch 2.'
Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade's Switch 2 version doesn't have a firm release date yet, but more is sure to be revealed as the upcoming console approaches its release on 5 June 2025. The game is currently available on the PS5 and PC.

'Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle' Shatters Record For Fastest Film To Hit ¥10 Billion In Japan
Nothing can stand in the way of the Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Infinity Castle , as it continues to take the Japanese box office by storm. Following a record-breaking opening haul at the domestic box office, the anime pic has grossed 12.8 billion yen (US$87.1 million) in its first 10 days, becoming the fastest film to cross 10 billion yen (US$67.4 million) in the country. The previous record holder was held by 2020's Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba the Movie –Infinity Train , which is also currently the top-grossing film of all time in Japan after 73 days at the box office. Of a listed total earnings of 40.43 billion yen (US$273 million) domestically, 4.6 billion yen (US$43.85 million at the time) came from its first three days, including 1.2 billion yen (US$12.03 million at the time) from the opening day alone. In comparison, Infinity Castle earned 5.5 billion (US$37.38 million) yen in its first three days and racked up 7.3 billion yen (US$49.50 million) over a four-day long weekend. It's a very strong start for the first film in a planned trilogy, with its opening week soaring way past expectations, but the success was already mapped out since the beginning. The trailer debut registered more than 40 million views within 24 hours on official social media platforms, and Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Infinity Castle now holds three major all-time records: the highest opening performance, the biggest first-day earnings, and the strongest single-day box office in Japanese film history. Releasing on 14 August in Singapore, it picks up after the finale of the fourth anime season, when Muzan Kibutsuji (Toshihiko Seki / Greg Chun) traps Tanjiro Kamado (Natsuki Hanae / Zach Aguliar) and his companions of the Demon Slayer Corps inside his fortress, the Infinity Castle, where a decisive battle between the Demon Slayers and Muzan's subordinates, the Upper Moons, kicks off. Infinity Train 's Haruo Sotozaki is directing the movie at returning studio ufotable, with Aimer and LiSA performing the songs 'Taiyō ga Noboranai Sekai' ('A World Where the Sun Never Rises') and 'Zankoku no Yoru ni Kagayake' ('Shine in the Cruel Night'), respectively. It will screen in IMAX and both Japanese with English subtitles, as well as in English dub. The fourth movie in the lineup serves more as a feature-length multi-film adaptation like Mugen Train instead of the Swordsmith Village and Hashira Training compilation films, and is set to adapt the first part of the final arc of Koyoharu Gotoge's manga. It opens in theatres on 14 August. Si Jia is a casual geek at heart – or as casual as someone with Sephiroth's theme on her Spotify playlist can get.
