Forever Entertainment has been announcing a whole bunch of Switch games lately. Violett, Prodigy, Frederic: Resurrection of Music, and Hollow are among the games coming to the eShop.

If that wasn’t enough, Forever also confirmed Sparkle 2 Evo for Switch today. It will be out sometime this fall.

Though Sonic Mania only just debuted today, some folks have already completed the game. If you’d like to see the final boss and ending, you can watch the video below.

Frozenbyte put out a new Nine Parchments video today showing off the cast of playable characters in Nine Parchments. It includes a special appearance by Amadeus, a character from the Trine series.

Those who stop by Gamescom at the Indie Arena Booth or PAX West at the Indie Megabooth can play Nine Parchments on Switch for the first time. It will include four player co-op and a boss battle against a dangerous, firebreathing Treasure Mantis. The Japanese version will be playable at Tokyo Game Show in September, by the way.

Shiny Pikachu began to appear in Pokemon GO last week as part of the Japanese Pikachu Outbreak event. Reports are beginning to surface that the same variant is being spotted in other countries as well.

Shiny Pikachu is a slightly darker version of the regular Pokemon. On its Pokedex page, you’ll see sparkles confirming the special catch.

Dark Screen Games has been seeking funding on Fig to develop Bounty Battle, a new 4-player fighter featuring a slew of indie characters. That goal was recently reached with over a week remaining. Having raised $30,000, Bounty Battle will be created for Switch.

Bounty Battle has a huge lineup of indie characters. Guacamelee, Axiom Verge, Battle Chasers: Nightwar, and Owlboy are just a few of the games represented. Along with twenty indie characters, players can also choose from ten unique fighters, “each with their own unique playstyles and combat abilities.”

Bounty Battle isn’t just about the characters. Levels will also be included from their respective indie games.

Watch a trailer for Bounty Battle below. You can also find the Fig page here for more information.
