Kamiwaza: Way of the Thief trailer

The stealth action game Kamiwaza: Way of the Thief – returning from the PS2 era – is celebrating its launch on Switch with a new trailer. NIS America has started to release the game today.

Here’s an overview of the title:

Pokemon Scarlet Violet October 12

The Pokemon Company has confirmed that more news for Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet is incoming, with the next information drop planned for tomorrow, October 12. We should at the very least be seeing a new trailer at 6 AM PT / 9 AM ET / 2 PM in the UK / 3 PM in Europe.

Updates surrounding Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet are starting to come fast and furious with the games releasing in about a month. Last week, a 14-minute gameplay trailer was shared and it included the reveal of Farigiraf. The week prior, Wiglett was revealed as another new creature. September provided its own new trailer plus the reveals of Armarouge, Ceruledge, and Klawf.

Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet launch for Switch on November 19, 2022. Let us know if you have any guesses about what will be shown tomorrow in the comments.

Switch controller update 15.0.0

Switch received its new 15.0.0 firmware update last night, and tying in with that, there’s a controller-specific update as well. Seemingly this is just for the Pro Controller – there does not appear to be anything new with the Joy-Con.

When Nintendo provides a controller update, it typically doesn’t say what it includes. However, those that have dug into version 15.0.0 have found that the Pro Controller Bluetooth firmware was updated.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Nopon Archsage

Nintendo and Monolith Soft have introduced the Nopon Archsage, who will be featured in Wave 2 of the Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Expansion Pass and ties into Challenge Battles.

Challenge Battles are accessible by walking up to a portal located in Llyn Nyddwr. This can be found in the Fornis Region, specifically Ribbi Flats. After entering the portal, you’ll end up in the Land of Challenges. The Nopon Archsage is here and there’s more to him than meets the eye. He’s voiced by Akio Ootsuka in the Japanese version – that’s actually the same person who voiced Consul Z.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba - The Hinokami Chronicles Daki release date

A final release date is in for the latest DLC character in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Hinokami Chronicles, which is Daki. SEGA, Aniplex, and CyberConnect2 will have the content ready to go on October 13, 2022.

Entertainment District Tanjiro Kamado, Zenitsu Agatsuma, and Inosuke Hashibira were previously added as DLC characters last month. We also saw Nezuko Kamado (Advanced Demon Form) in August.

Switch update 15.0.0

Nintendo is now offering the latest firmware update for Switch, version 15.0.0.

Despite being a main number change, this one seems relatively insignificant in nature. At the same time, there’s more here than simple stability improvements – though of course that’s also included.

Sonic Frontiers Monster Hunter DLC

Original: Monster Hunter DLC has been announced for Sonic Frontiers, with SEGA just making the announcement moments ago.

Unfortunately, we’re mostly lacking information at present. SEGA says that the DLC is going live on November 14 at 5 PM PT / 8 PM ET for free.

The DioField Chronicle characters

Nintendo Everything has created a characters guide for The DioField Chronicle detailing the best party members to use at each point in the game, covering recommended skills, adjutants, and general tactics to ensure victory.

Bayonetta 3 pre-order bonus

Five years after it was first announced, Bayonetta 3 isn’t too far away from its launch on Switch, and we’re starting up our pre-order guide which will include any bonuses if they’re announced. Nintendo and PlatinumGames will be continuing the hardcore action series that first began in 2009.

Bayonetta 3 has confirmed a few story elements, including that the bioweapons known as Homunculi are invading and there’ll be a few “a virtual coven of Bayonettas”. We also know that you’ll be able to play as Viola, “a feisty witch in training who fights with a sword and a capricious companion, the demon Cheshire.” Other than that, the game will include Demon Masquerade, “a new ability that channels the demon linked to her weapon allowing for some exciting action options, not to mention some hair-raising combos.” Bayonetta can also summon certain demonic creatures like Gomorrah, Malphas, and Phantasmaraneae during battle. PlatinumGames recently confirmed that a Naive Angel Mode will be available to make things a little less risqué.

Into the Breach update 1.2.77

Subset Games has started distribution of another Into the Breach update, with the game moving up to version 1.2.77 on Switch.

Some additions, improvements, and fixes are included here. The team added a couple of new music tracks, enhanced the save file backup system, and more.

The full patch notes are as follows:
