Earlier in the month, an interview was published with Nintendo Labo director Tsubasa Sakaguchi, Switch director / Nintendo Labo producer Kouichi Kawamoto, and Nintendo Labo hardware lead Mr. Ogasawara. The developers had plenty to say about the new initiative for Switch during that discussion.

20XX

A Switch version of 20XX could be in the cards. The game was rated by PEGI earlier in the week, hinting at an upcoming announcement.

20XX, a roguelike action platformer, takes plenty of inspiration from Mega Man, but has its own set of features to stand apart. Full co-op is supported via both local and online play. With its roguelike features, each time you play, the stages will be new.

Here’s an overview of 20XX from its Steam listing, along with a trailer:

Exquisite Gaming is preparing a new type of accessory, and it’s quite a bit different from the norm. The “XL Crash Bandicoot Cable Guy” lets the famous gaming character hold your Switch for you – or even a tablet, PlayStation and Xbox controllers.

The model stands at 12″ tall in case you’re wondering. It also claims to be officially licensed, so that’s encouraging.

You can pre-order the XL Crash Bandicoot Cable Guy on Amazon here. It’s slated for June 15.


A number of new deals have started today on the North American Switch and 3DS eShops. Highlights include Nine Parchments for 40% off, Persona Q for 25% off, and more.
