Nintendo released a new video today showcasing a few European digital game highlights from April 2017. You can watch it below.

A few months ago, Rebellion announced a remaster of its 2006 shooter Rogue Trooper, now called Rogue Trooper Redux. It will be heading to Switch in the near future.

A new “Who is Rogue Trooper?” video feature was published for the game today, detailing Rogue. The clip covers the blue-skinned soldier’s origins and offers a glimpse at his new remastered, in-game character model.

Below is the video:

And an overview of Rogue:

“Rogue is one of the Genetic Infantrymen (‘GIs’), an army of bio-engineered soldiers, created by Southers to fight their all out war against the colonial Nort regime. Not only can GIs survive the poisonous surface of Nu Earth unharmed, but their enhanced abilities make them a phenomenal force.

And yet, Rogue is the last GI standing following a devastating massacre that all but wipes out his kind. Carrying the consciousnesses of three fallen comrades as biochips implanted in his equipment, enhancing his powers further, Rogue transforms from super soldier into a one-man squad of death and destruction. He knows no allegiance but to his own mission, and he is hell-bent on completing it. That mission is REVENGE.”

Nintendo UK recently held a Twitter poll to determine the best track in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. It was ultimately Rainbow Road which was selected first, followed by Hyrule Circuit, Mount Wario, and Bowser’s Castle.

Following the results, Nintendo UK spoke with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe producer Kosuke Yabuki. The developer talked about how the team went about creation the course,

First, when asked about what he’s most proud about in terms of the design, Yabuki said:

Elliot Quest landed on Wii U quite a long time ago, but now it’s coming to new platforms – including 3DS. A new “console” trailer was prepared to promote the upcoming release. Check it out below.

Update: We’ve received an official announcement from Drool now. It’s looking like May 18 will apply to both North America and Europe.


Original: The European Switch eShop has updated with a listing for another significant title. It seems that Thumper is just around the corner, as it’s listed for May 18. The game will cost €19.99 / £15.99.

Here’s an overview:

“Thumper is rhythm violence: classic rhythm-action, blistering speed, and brutal physicality. You are a space beetle. Brave the hellish void and confront a maniacal giant head from the future.

Scream down the endless track and crash through punishing obstacles with simple, airtight controls. Hurtle forward, master new moves, reach overwhelming velocities, and survive epic boss battles. Every crushing impact is interwoven with a pounding original soundtrack. To reach synthetic bliss, you must conquer rhythm hell.”

Most games tend to hit the North American and European Switch eShops at the same time. We don’t have a confirmed release date for the states currently, but a May 18 launch is likely as well.

First up is the lovely piece of art attached above. Slightly less exciting is the very brief clip below, but is still worth giving a look in any case.
