Level-5 previously confirmed Layton’s Mystery Journey: Katrielle and the Millionaires’ Conspiracy for the west following the original announcement of Lady Layton last year. Today, the company announced that it will launch on 3DS this fall in overseas territories.

To clarify, Layton’s Mystery Journey will first be seeing a worldwide release on iOS and Android on July 20 with support for eight languages. Japan is also receiving the 3DS version on the same day, but other territories will need to wait a bit longer.

Here’s an overview of the game:

Ancient posted a couple of tweets today showing some interest in a Switch version of Gotta Protectors. The game last released on 3DS as a hybrid of action and real-time strategy gameplay.

If Gotta Protectors were to come to Switch, the company wondered how the screen design would look like, so the team tried making a very rough design. Ancient thought what four-player split-screen would look like, but the individual screen for each player would be too small. The pixels are currently twice the usual size. If it was changed to about 1.3 times, it should be able to fit quite well, but the pixels would look off.

Note that Ancient doesn’t have Gotta Protectors running on Switch or anything along those lines. They are just testing things to fit on a 16:9 screen.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe comes packed with all DLC from the original game. The additional characters, cups, and vehicles are all here. In case you’re wondering, that seems to include the Mercedes-Benz DLC. One of Nintendo’s latest trailers for the game shows the GLA Tires originally offered Wii U.

The one thing we’re hearing is that the Mercedes-Benz DLC isn’t unlocked by default. That’s a bit strange, as almost everything is immediately available. We’ll keep you updated if we see anything else about the situation.

Mouldy Toof Studios and Team17 pulled back the curtain on a new prison in The Escapists 2. The two sides are introducing Rattlesnake Springs, located in the Old West.

“Sneak around the sheriffs, make friends with the compound’s horses and explore the dark mine below the prison in the wildest lockup yet,” Team17 says about the prison. Players can team up with three friends to break out of Rattlesnake Springs with online or local play later this year.

Here’s a new trailer for The Escapists 2:
