Two new characters have joined Mighty Gunvolt Burst. Call from Mighty No. 9 as well as Joule from Azure Striker Gunvolt are now being distributed in Japan. Each piece of DLC is priced at 200 yen.

Both characters should be going up in North America and Europe tomorrow as well. We’re unable to check the 3DS eShop, but we assume Call and Joule are also available in that version.

Image & Form indicated last week that SteamWorld Dig 2 was off to a fast start on Switch after only having been available for a couple of days. Today, the company shared more on the game’s strong debut.

Image & Form says that SteamWorld Dig 2 is the biggest launch in SteamWorld history. It has sold faster than any other game the team has made previously. Specifically on Switch, SteamWorld Dig 2 is “topping the charts in as good as every country.”

What’s most encouraging of all is that Image & Form has “already earned back most of the game’s total development budget.” That bodes well for the studio going forward.

At least for now, Bandai Namco has no plans to bring Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet to Switch. Producer Yosuke Futami recently explained why.

According to Futami, the team targeted all high-end consoles to reach as many players as possible. Currently there are no plans for a Switch version, which is in large part because the console didn’t exist when development started three years ago. Futami did say that if many fans request a Switch version, it could be considered.
