The Pinball Arcade returns to the Switch eShop
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
Update (5/21): In addition to North America, The Pinball Arcade can also now be downloaded from the European eShop.
Original (5/11): The Pinball Arcade originally appeared on the Switch eShop last month. The thing is, it was only up for an incredibly short period. FarSight Studios had it removed due to a licensing issue.
A month later, The Pinball Arcade is back up on the eShop – presumably for good. It’s free to download, with a bunch of table packs that can be purchased separately.

Resident Evil 7 Cloud Version announced for Switch, launches this coming week
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
Update: Resident Evil 7 Cloud Version now has a listing on the Japanese eShop, and it’s confirmed that English will not be included. Only Japanese is supported. It’s unclear what that means for any possible release in other territories.
Original: Resident Evil 7 Cloud Version is coming to Switch, Capcom has announced.
As the name implies, Resident Evil 7 will not be launching on Nintendo’s console in the traditional sense. Everything runs through the cloud (the “download” is just 45MB), so you won’t actually be purchasing the full game that can be played offline. You’ll need a stable internet connection while accessing the title.

Also at the very end, fans were treated to a teaser of what we pretty much know is some sort of Sonic racing game.
SEGA has been keeping quiet on that mystery project since that initial teaser. But during an official live stream this week, fans were given an indication that news is coming soon.
