Nintendo Direct 9.9.2026: Watch It Live Tonight at 10PM SGT

Leave a comment

Set your alarm now. Nintendo’s general September Direct airs tonight, 9 September 2026, at 10:00 PM Singapore time (SGT), and at roughly 45 minutes long it’s the biggest Switch 2 showcase since June. If you missed last night’s Zelda 40th Anniversary Direct, that’s already up on-demand — but tonight is a different show, focused squarely on winter 2026 launches and beyond.

Nintendo Direct September 2026 Singapore Time and How to Watch

The stream goes live at 10:00 PM SGT on 9 September 2026 — midnight for our friends in Sydney, 11PM in Manila and KL. Nintendo streams for free on the Nintendo of America YouTube channel with no account or subscription needed. The Nintendo Today! app also carries the broadcast, and a replay is posted immediately after so you can catch up if you doze off. Expect around 45 minutes of rapid-fire trailers.

Switch 2 Games Confirmed or Expected

Nintendo has been more explicit than usual about what this Direct covers: Switch 2 games landing this winter. Several titles are already date-stamped and will likely get a final spotlight:

  • Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave — launches 17 September 2026, just eight days away. Expect a lengthy final trailer or a character showcase.
  • Nintendo Switch Sports Resort — 22 October 2026. The Switch 2 exclusive spiritual successor is confirmed; tonight may reveal more activities and pricing.
  • Minecraft Switch 2 Edition with Vibrant Visuals — arrives 27 October 2026 with native Switch 2 performance.
  • Dragon Quest Monsters: The Withered World and Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Switch 2 Edition — both targeting December; anticipate release-date locks tonight.

Beyond the confirmed lineup, Nintendo has been sitting on several rumoured first-party titles — including a new 2D Metroid (Ravenous), The Duskbloods, and a potential Mario Sluggers revival. Whether any of those arrive tonight is the real question mark keeping Switch 2 owners awake.

After the Direct: Nintendo Treehouse Live

Once the main show wraps around 10:45 PM SGT, Nintendo Treehouse Live kicks in with extended gameplay deep-dives of select announced titles. If you want to see an actual match of Switch Sports Resort or twenty minutes of Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave combat, Treehouse is the place to be — it runs until late and the VOD stays up. Check the Nintendo of America YouTube channel for both streams.

Singapore’s Switch 2 library is growing fast — browse our latest game news to catch up on what’s already been announced, and check back here after tonight’s show for a full recap of every announcement.

Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty Complete Edition Lands on Switch 2

Leave a comment

Team NINJA’s dark Three Kingdoms action RPG is finally available on Nintendo’s hybrid console — Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty Complete Edition launched today, 3 September 2026, bringing the full game plus every piece of DLC to Nintendo Switch 2 for the first time.

Everything in the Switch 2 Complete Edition

The package bundles the base game with all three major story DLC scenarios: Battle of Zhongyuan, Conqueror of Jiangdong, and Upheaval in Jingxiang, along with the Thousand-Mile Journey endgame challenge content. Post-launch weapons — cestuses, long swords, and whips — are in, as is all collaborative DLC gear from Nioh 2, NARAKA: BLADEPOINT, and Lies of P. The franchise has crossed five million players across all platforms, so you’re getting a well-supported, content-complete experience.

Switch 2 owners get one exclusive perk: the Xuanwu Armor set as a commemorative bonus, claimable from now until 30 September 2026. If you plan to buy physical, be aware the box contains a Game-Key Card rather than a traditional cartridge — the download comes in at 39.1 GB, so an SD Express card is worth having ready before launch day.

Watch the Launch Trailer

Wo Long 2: Wings of Ember Is Already on the Way

If you’re jumping into the series for the first time, there’s extra incentive to catch up quickly: KOEI TECMO and Team NINJA have already announced Wo Long 2: Wings of Ember for early 2027, launching on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC. It will be available from day one on Xbox Game Pass. The sequel expands on the original’s Morale combat system, adding defensive martial arts and a reworked deflect mechanic.

Pricing and What Singapore Switch 2 Owners Should Know

Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty originally launched in early 2023 on PC and PlayStation — Switch 2 players are getting the definitive, fully patched version of a game that’s had over two years of post-launch support. The US Nintendo eShop price is USD $59.99; SGD pricing on the Singapore eShop has not been confirmed at time of writing. Based on typical Switch 2 conversion rates for that tier, expect a figure in the S$79–S$89 range, but check the local eShop before purchasing.

The soulslike genre is well-represented on Switch 2 this autumn, and Wo Long’s Morale system — which rewards aggression rather than punishing it — makes the combat feel distinctly different from FromSoftware’s catalogue. For Singapore players who missed it on PS5 or PC, the Complete Edition is a good starting point before Wings of Ember arrives. See our Game News section for more Switch 2 titles landing this September.

ANOMALITH: Demo Out Now on Steam, Full Release October 29

Leave a comment

If you’re looking for something creepy to play this weekend, FuRyu has you covered: a free demo for their upcoming survival horror ANOMALITH is live on Steam right now. The full game drops October 29, 2026 on PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2 and PC — and the creative team behind it is turning heads.

ANOMALITH gameplay screenshot — exploring a distorted Otherworld

Spatial Anomalies and a Ten-Year Coma

ANOMALITH is set in an alternate version of Japan — timestamped simply as “19**” — where spatial distortions called Otherworlds have started tearing holes in reality across the country. You play as Reona Minazuki, an investigator who wakes from a decade-long coma inside one of these zones (known as the Sarcophagus) with a newly awakened ability to sense and move through these warped spaces.

The driving motivation is personal: Reona’s searching for a friend who went missing inside an Otherworld. The story is penned by Romeo Tanaka — best known internationally as the creator of Humanity Has Declined — lending the script a darkly absurdist flavour that fits the premise well.

ANOMALITH – Announcement Trailer — via Game Channel by フリュー on YouTube

The Elden Ring Composer Is Writing the Music

The headline name for many Singapore gamers will be Yuka Kitamura, the composer responsible for some of the most memorable boss themes in Elden Ring, Sekiro, Bloodborne and Dark Souls III. Her presence here signals genuine production ambition — not the kind of game you casually drop her on.

Rounding out the team: character designs are handled by MON (whose work appeared in NisiOisin’s Legends series), while development sits with Winning Entertainment Group, the studio formerly known as Natsume Atari.

ANOMALITH — inside a twisted Otherworld zone

Survival TPS in Liminal Spaces

Gameplay mixes third-person shooting and melee combat with survival-focused resource management. The visual setting leans into Showa-era retro aesthetics — think cramped corridors, flickering fluorescent lights and architecture that shouldn’t be able to exist — filtered through the uncanny geometry of liminal spaces. It’s a look that should appeal to anyone who bounced between Silent Hill and Signalis and wished there were more games living in that headspace.

The free Steam demo is available now and gives you a direct taste before committing. It’s the fastest way to find out whether ANOMALITH’s atmosphere clicks with you.

Release Date, Platforms and Price

ANOMALITH launches October 29, 2026 on PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2 and PC via Steam — all three platforms that see strong use in Singapore. Pricing on the international Steam store is USD 49.99 for the Standard Edition and USD 69.99 for Digital Deluxe; check your regional storefront for the SGD equivalent.

NIS America has also announced a physical Launch Edition for those who prefer a disc or cartridge — useful to know if you’re planning to grab it from a local game retailer or import. No confirmation on SG retail allocation yet, so check with your preferred games shop as the launch date approaches.

Stellar Blade Complete Edition Playable at TGS 2026 — Nintendo Switch 2 Demo Confirmed

Leave a comment

Shift Up and Nintendo have confirmed that Stellar Blade Complete Edition will be playable on the Tokyo Game Show 2026 show floor — giving Switch 2 players their first hands-on opportunity with Eve’s full adventure before the title’s release. TGS 2026 runs from 25–28 September in Makuhari Messe, Chiba. The demo news follows the action trailer that dropped earlier this month, which we covered on 24 August.

What the Complete Edition Brings

Stellar Blade Complete Edition bundles the base game with all released DLC — including the NieR:Automata crossover costumes and Orcal Village content — in a single package optimised for Nintendo Switch 2. Shift Up has confirmed the port carries full HD rumble and gyroscopic aiming support, taking advantage of Switch 2’s Joy-Con 2 controllers.

The “Dance of Blades” marketing push has leaned hard into Eve’s expanded move set, which gets an additional showcase in the TGS build. Shift Up has described the Switch 2 port as a chance to introduce Eve to an entirely new audience — a line that underscores how much the developer sees this as a genuine platform expansion rather than a stop-gap release.

Playable Demo at TGS 2026

The TGS demo will be available on the Nintendo booth across all four public and business days. Based on the preview footage, the demo appears to cover an early-game section that showcases both combat and traversal — a smart choice for a first-time Switch 2 audience who may not have played the PS5 original. No appointment system has been announced; it will run as an open queue at the Nintendo stand.

Singapore Release Window

Stellar Blade Complete Edition is scheduled for release on Nintendo Switch 2 this year, with a firm date not yet confirmed. Singapore pricing has not been announced, but the Complete Edition is expected to carry a standard new-release price point. The game will be available both physically and digitally via the Nintendo eShop. Keep an eye on the Game News section for any release date announcement coming out of TGS.

Stellar Blade Complete Edition Gets Its First Switch 2 Gameplay Trailer

Leave a comment

SHIFT UP dropped a brand-new gameplay trailer for Stellar Blade Complete Edition on Nintendo Switch 2 today — and it is the most detailed look yet at how Eve’s action-heavy adventure translates to Nintendo’s handheld-home console hybrid. The UNCUT Action Trailer shows extended combat and new key art, confirming the Switch 2 port is being treated as a first-class release, not a scaled-down companion version.

What the UNCUT Action Trailer Shows

The new trailer runs on Switch 2 hardware and puts Eve’s parry-and-counter combat system front and centre — players will recognise the tight timing windows, aerial combos, and the skill-tree-driven gear progression that made the PS5 original a standout action game when it launched in 2024. SHIFT UP confirmed that certain non-combat activities will make use of Joy-Con 2 motion controls, adding a tactile layer the original PlayStation version never had.

New Eve key art released alongside the trailer gives the Switch 2 edition a distinct visual identity, and based on what the trailer shows, the port appears to be targeting a solid frame rate rather than any meaningful visual downgrade.

Everything Included in the Complete Edition

Switch 2 players won’t need to buy anything extra — the Complete Edition bundles everything under one package:

  • The full Stellar Blade base game
  • The Twin Expansion Pack, which covers the NieR: Automata collaboration DLC and the Goddess of Victory: NIKKE collaboration DLC
  • A NIKKE in-game cosmetics CD-key for bonus content in the mobile game

That means arriving players get the complete run of Eve’s story and all post-launch content from day one. For anyone who skipped Stellar Blade on PS5 or held off waiting for a better platform fit, this is the definitive edition.

What Singapore Fans Need to Know

Stellar Blade Complete Edition is targeting a 2026 release on Nintendo Switch 2. A specific launch date and SGD pricing have not been announced yet — expect those details as the window tightens.

Singapore fans are well-positioned. The Nintendo Switch 2 has been available locally since its launch and is readily available through major electronics chains and game retailers. When pricing drops, the Nintendo eShop and local stores will be the places to watch for pre-orders.

One more thing worth noting: SHIFT UP has also announced a full standalone sequel, Stellar Blade: BLOOD RAIN, unveiled at Summer Game Fest 2026. It follows a new protagonist named Evie and is a separate story from Eve’s campaign. No release window has been confirmed yet — but it’s clearly a sign that SHIFT UP is treating Stellar Blade as a long-term franchise, and Switch 2 owners will have plenty to look forward to.

Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave Manga Starts 4 September

Leave a comment

Nintendo’s dedicated showcase for Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave packed in nearly 20 minutes of game news on 4 August — and at the very last slide, a bonus announcement slipped in that fans of the Engage manga will want to hear about: the new Switch 2 game is getting its own manga serialisation, and the opening chapter lands before the game itself does.

Announced via @FireEmblemJP at the close of the Direct

At the very end of the Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave Direct on 4 August, Nintendo’s official Japanese Fire Emblem account confirmed that a manga adaptation of the upcoming game has been greenlit. The series will run in Saikyo Jump (published by Shueisha) and simultaneously on the Shonen Jump+ digital app. Chapter 0 — the prologue — appears in the October 2026 issue of Saikyo Jump, which publishes in Japan on 4 September 2026, nearly two weeks before the Switch 2 game launches.

No English localisation has been announced. The Fire Emblem Engage manga’s multi-year run was never officially translated, and the same is likely for Fortune’s Weave — at least at launch. That said, Shonen Jump+ is accessible in Singapore and across most of Southeast Asia, so fans comfortable reading in Japanese can follow from Chapter 0 onwards. Search for ファイアーエムブレム 万紫千紅 on the app from 4 September.

Kazurou Kyou returns for round two

The artist behind the pen is Kazurou Kyou, who handled the Fire Emblem Engage manga from March 2023 all the way through to its final volume — Volume 8 — which shipped in Japan just last month, wrapping a run of roughly three years. Kyou is wasting no time: the Engage manga barely had time to cool before the Fortune’s Weave adaptation was announced at the same Direct that unveiled the new game’s full story details.

The teaser illustration Kyou unveiled for Fortune’s Weave already looks striking. The hooded protagonist — the Saviour whose fate ties the whole story together — looms at the top, while Sothis, the goddess returning from Three Houses, holds court at centre. The four Heroic Games competitors (Cai, Dietrich, Leda and Theodora) flank them, with antagonists creeping in at the edges. It reads less like a promotional sketch and more like an opening chapter spread.

If the Engage manga is any guide, the adaptation will follow the game’s storyline while taking creative liberties — Kyou’s previous run was genuinely interesting as a companion read rather than a strict retelling, and longtime Fire Emblem fans appreciated the extra character work it added.

When and where to read

Chapter 0 (prologue): 4 September 2026, in the October 2026 issue of Saikyo Jump and on Shonen Jump+
Ongoing serialisation: Monthly in Saikyo Jump (print) and Shonen Jump+ (digital)
Languages: Japanese only at launch — no English release confirmed
Shonen Jump+: Available in Singapore — the app supports Singapore accounts

Fire Emblem Fortune's Weave Dagdan Collection special edition — artbook, character cards, Dagdan world map, steelbook and game card

The game hits Switch 2 on 17 September

Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave launches on Nintendo Switch 2 on 17 September 2026 worldwide. The standard edition is priced at US$69.99 digitally; the physical Dagdan Collection (pictured above) adds an artbook, character art cards, a large Dagdan world map and a steelbook case. Singapore eShop pricing has not been confirmed — check the local eShop closer to launch for the SGD figure.

We covered the full Fortune’s Weave Direct recap here if you want the deep dive on gameplay, classes and the time-manipulation Fortuna’s Blessing system. The manga gives lore fans another way in — and with Chapter 0 arriving before you can even play the game, there has never been a better excuse to finally set up that Shonen Jump+ subscription. Follow our manga and anime coverage as we track both the serialisation and the 17 September launch.

Kingdom Hearts 4 Gets a Late 2027 Window — Coco World Revealed and KH Anime Coming to Disney+

Leave a comment

Square Enix dropped its biggest Kingdom Hearts news in four years at D23 in Anaheim overnight: Kingdom Hearts 4 has a late 2027 release window, its first confirmed Disney world is Pixar’s Coco, and a brand new Kingdom Hearts anime series is heading to Disney+ and Disney Channel. Following this morning’s Kingdom Hearts 25th anniversary deep-dive preview, here is everything revealed at the Disney Entertainment Showcase.

Kingdom Hearts 4 – Official Coco Showcase Trailer | D23 2026 — via IGN on YouTube

Sora Steps Into the Land of the Dead

The Land of the Dead is Kingdom Hearts 4’s first confirmed Disney world, and in a notable first for the franchise, the trailer establishes that this world follows the plot of the 2017 Pixar film rather than telling a separate side story. Papa Hector opens the sequence by explaining the concept of The Final Death to Miguel: those forgotten by the living eventually fade from existence entirely in the afterlife. Miguel is then shown performing for a crowd as Heartless materialise around him, and Sora arrives to deal with them.

Sora appears dressed in Día de los Muertos face paint and Coco-appropriate clothing, blending naturally into the world’s visual language. The Land of the Dead is rendered in vivid, layered detail — the city’s tiered architecture lit up in gold and violet across the cable car sequences — making it one of the most visually striking worlds the series has ever shown.

The Guitar Keyblade and a Fight Alongside Papa Hector

Each world in Kingdom Hearts hands Sora a Keyblade that reflects its aesthetic. The Coco world’s version takes the form of a guitar decorated with sugar skull motifs, marigold flowers and warm-toned light — immediately one of the most striking Keyblade designs in the series’ history. The trailer shows Sora fighting alongside Papa Hector, confirming the skeleton musician as a party ally.

The trailer also shows Strelitzia and Sigurd — characters from the mobile game Kingdom Hearts Union χ — appearing in Quadratum alongside Sora. Their presence is a clear signal that the Union χ storyline threads are being woven into the main game, which will matter enormously to fans who stuck with that game through its ending.

Mickey, Donald and Goofy Are Searching — Through Hades

On the other side of the story, King Mickey, Donald Duck and Goofy are shown visiting what appears to be the underworld from Hercules. Dialogue from Hades confirms they have consulted him to track Sora’s location in Quadratum. Donald and Goofy appear as glowing outlines from Sora’s perspective, suggesting the two sides of the story connect across dimensions rather than crossing over directly — a neat way to reintroduce the classic trio without pulling Sora out of Quadratum.

Taken together, the trailer does a great deal in under 90 seconds: new world, Coco-specific Keyblade, returning friends, and enough Union χ fan service to reward players who completed the mobile game’s storyline.

Kingdom Hearts: The Series — On Disney+ Singapore

Beyond the game, Disney announced Kingdom Hearts: The Series — an original anime following a new character (not Sora) set within the Kingdom Hearts universe. It will air on Disney Channel and stream on Disney+, meaning Disney+ Singapore subscribers will have access once it launches. No specific date was given, with the announcement card simply reading “Coming Soon.”

Ayo Davis, president of Disney Kids & Family, stated the project is designed to “expand on the universe of Kingdom Hearts while celebrating the characters that have captured the hearts of millions of fans.” Kingdom Hearts series director Tetsuya Nomura is confirmed to be working closely with the creative team at Square Enix on the production.

Late 2027 on Switch 2, PS5, Xbox Series X and PC

Kingdom Hearts 4 is confirmed for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store — all platforms simultaneously, with a “late 2027” window. For Switch 2 owners in Singapore, that simultaneous release is the key detail: there is no longer any ambiguity about a Switch version. As we covered earlier today, the franchise recently crossed the one-billion-dollar revenue milestone, giving Square Enix considerable commercial momentum going into this launch.

No specific date or price has been announced. Follow our Game News section for any further Kingdom Hearts updates from D23 or Gamescom later this month.

FFXIV Moonfire Faire 2026: How to Get the Inflatable Mograft Mount

Leave a comment

FFXIV’s annual summer festival is back — Moonfire Faire 2026 runs from Tuesday, 12 August to Wednesday, 26 August, and this year’s headline reward is one of the game’s most adorable mounts yet: the Inflatable Mograft, a giant Moogle-shaped pool float you can actually ride. Here is everything you need to know before the event goes live.

What Is FFXIV Moonfire Faire 2026?

Moonfire Faire is FFXIV’s recurring summer seasonal event, set at the sun-soaked shores of Costa del Sol in La Noscea. This year’s theme is “Summer Blues? Ride a Pleasure Cruise!” — a celebration of beach life and water activities, with limited-time rewards you can only earn during the event window. Miss it and you’ll need to wait for items to appear on the FFXIV Online Store after the event closes.

Moonfire Faire 2026 Start Date, End Date, and Access Requirements

The event runs from 12 August 2026 (Tuesday) through 26 August 2026 (Wednesday). For Singapore players it launches in the early morning of 12 August SGT and wraps up on the evening of 26 August SGT.

You need a character of at least Level 30 to participate. Free Trial players on any platform — including the newly launched Switch 2 version — can access Moonfire Faire as long as they have met that level threshold. Note that free trial accounts have some restrictions on group content and in-game chat, but the seasonal quests themselves should be accessible.

How to Start the Moonfire Faire 2026 Quests

Head to Limsa Lominsa Upper Decks and find a Lalafell NPC called Mayaru Moyaru at coordinates X:11.5, Y:13.8. She hands out the first quest, “Earning Your Water Wings”, which takes around 30 minutes to clear. A second quest, “Whoever Floats Your Raft”, becomes available once you’ve finished the first. Both are short narrative quests with no gear or combat wall beyond the level requirement.

All Moonfire Faire 2026 Rewards

This year’s limited-time haul includes a new mount and a full set of summer furnishings:

  • Inflatable Mograft (Mount) — the standout new reward, a giant Moogle-shaped inflatable raft
  • Lawn Mograft (Outdoor furnishing)
  • Lawn Chocobo Raft (Outdoor furnishing)
  • Lawn Bomb Raft (Outdoor furnishing)
  • Moonfire Faire MMXXV Advertisement (Wall-mounted decoration)
  • Moonfire Faire MMXVII Advertisement (Wall-mounted decoration)
  • Tabletop Moonfire Faire MMXXV Advertisement (Tabletop decoration)

Past glamours and emotes from previous Moonfire Faire events are not available from the in-event vendor — those items are sold separately on the FFXIV Online Store after the event ends.

What Switch 2 Players Need to Know

FFXIV launched on Nintendo Switch 2 on 4 August 2026, meaning Moonfire Faire 2026 is the first FFXIV seasonal event playable on Switch 2. If you have been holding off on picking up the game on Switch 2, timing is in your favour: Square Enix has the Complete Edition 30% off on the Nintendo eShop until 13 August 2026 — one day after the event starts, so you can dive straight into the summer festivities.

A few Switch 2-specific points:

  • A Nintendo Switch Online subscription is not required — FFXIV uses its own subscription, paid via FFXIV Coins on the eShop
  • Players who already subscribe on PC or PS5 get the Switch 2 subscription at 50% off
  • The Free Trial is available on Switch 2 and covers all content through Shadowbringers, with no time limit

Full event details are on the official FFXIV Lodestone Moonfire Faire page. For more game news and guides, keep checking GameTrader.SG.

Mario Kart World x Uniqlo UT: 12 Designs Land This Month — Singapore, Check Your Stores

Leave a comment

The whole world is a racetrack on Nintendo Switch 2 — and now it can be on your back too. Uniqlo’s UT graphic-tee line has teamed up with Nintendo for an officially licensed Mario Kart World collection dropping from mid-August 2026, covering four adult tees, four kids’ tees, and four kids’ sweatshirts due in September. All designs carry official Nintendo artwork, and with Uniqlo Singapore consistently stocking Nintendo gaming UT drops — the Pokémon UT Wave 2 landed locally on 24 July — Singapore fans should be checking their nearest store very soon.

Adult Tees — Four Designs, Three Colourways

The men’s line runs across white, black, and dark green, each built around a different facet of the game’s chaotic racing energy:

  • White — racing nostalgia: A black-and-white high-speed action print with an orange “MARIO KART WORLD” stripe slashing across the chest. Feels like a motorsport photo from the archives.
  • Black — character chaos: A full-colour cartoon pile-up of Bowser, Mario, Peach, Toad, Donkey Kong and the rest of the cast tumbling mid-race. Maximum cast, maximum energy.
  • Dark green — badge board (back print): The subtlest tee in the lineup. The back is covered in circular in-game brand badges — “1-Up Fuel”, “Bowser Motors”, “Banana Natural Oil”, “Thwomp”, “Fuzzy Batteries” — with “MARIO KART WORLD” scripted along the hem.
  • White — newspaper spread: A “WORLD-CLASS GRAND PRIX HIGHLIGHTS” mock newspaper clipping, complete with a photo-realistic Mario tearing through desert canyon scenery.

Japan pricing is ¥1,990 per piece (roughly S$18 at current rates). Uniqlo Singapore pricing will be set locally.

Kids’ Tees — Knockout Colours

The children’s line is louder and more immediate. Yellow puts DK and Toad nose-to-nose in a four-wheel skirmish; orange screams “KNOCKOUT TOUR” as Mario and Bowser trade shells mid-air; black goes full travel scrapbook with Yoshi screenshots stacked like Polaroids and “Here we go!” and “STINGBY” stamped across them; white delivers a wide-angle panorama with almost the full roster on track. Kids’ tees are ¥990 each in Japan, available from ages 3-4 up through early teens.

Kids’ Sweatshirts — Dropping in September

Four hooded sweatshirts round out the collection, arriving in mid-September in navy, off-white, dark green, and light grey. Off-white leads with a bold “DRIFT TO VICTORY!” graphic. Navy keeps it low-key with a row of five helmet icons and “Which one will you choose?”. Dark green echoes the adult badge-board print. Light grey grounds everything with a photorealistic full-field race render. Japan pricing is ¥1,990 per piece, kids’ sizing only.

Where to Find Them in Singapore

Uniqlo has not announced specific Singapore dates for this collection at time of publishing, but local availability for Nintendo gaming UT lines has become reliable. If you’re after the adult tees, aim for mid-August at Uniqlo Singapore’s flagship stores and the Uniqlo Singapore online store — the same channels that carried the Pokemon and Chiikawa collab tees earlier this year. Kids’ sweatshirts will follow roughly a month later. For other gaming merchandise drops, keep an eye on GameTrader.SG.
