Starbites aims for a retro, turn-based mech RPG on Switch, pairing accessible combat and likable characters with a world-building premise, but the port is rough: poor visuals, frequent frame drops, numerous bugs, and a tangled narrative sink the experience, making it a middle-of-the-road game at best (4/10).
NIS America has delayed the Nintendo Switch 2 version of Starbites, with no new date announced; the Switch 1 release still goes ahead on May 21, 2026, and upgrading to Switch 2 will cost $4.99 when it arrives. The delay follows negative early impressions of the Switch 1 build—fuzzy visuals, frame-rate issues, and various bugs—and a previously planned Switch 2 Game-Key Card release was scrapped. Backwards compatibility means Switch 1 players can dive in now and wait for the Switch 2 edition to land.
This week in Japan, notable game releases include Pokemon Legends: Z-A for Switch 2, STARBITES for PS5, Xbox Series, and Switch, along with several other titles across various platforms, highlighting a busy week for gaming enthusiasts.
