THQ Nordic announced Battle Chasers: Nightwar for Switch this week. It’s a new game from Airship Syndicate, a team compromised of former developers from Darksiders developer Vigil. Battle Chasers is packing in RPG features, dungeons, and turn-based combat.

One piece of information shared during the Nintendo Direct announcement was that Battle Chasers: Nightwar would be on Switch first. However, that’s not actually true. Airship Syndicate took to Twitter and clarified that all platforms will have Battle Chasers at the same time, so it’s not a timed exclusive after all.


Battle Chasers: Nightwar doesn’t have a set release date just yet. Look for the game sometime this summer.

Nintendo unveiled a bunch of new amiibo this week. New figures in the Zelda, Smash Bros., and Splatoon line are slated for the summer.

On its various Twitter accounts, Nintendo has been posting photos of the amiibo showing them in greater detail. We’ve rounded them up below.

Team Kirby Clash Deluxe was a surprise release on the 3DS eShop this week. Nintendo made the title known during its Nintendo Direct a couple of days ago, and brought it out right after the presentation.

An update for Team Kirby Clash Deluxe is already available. Let me know if you’ve heard of these patch notes before: “Adjustments have been made to make for a better gaming experience.”

Even though Nintendo isn’t being upfront about the update on its website, the company’s Japanese Twitter page gives us a better idea. There were issues buying Gem Apples, though that should be fixed with today’s update.

The Snack World details

Level-5 first announced The Snack World back in 2015. During this week’s Nintendo Direct, it was finally given a Japanese release date of July 13. More details about the game are shared on the official website.

The basic gist of The Snack World is to find rare items slumbering deep inside dungeons. The protagonist is the player’s avatar whose looks can be customized.

This game will have an original scenario that’s different from the anime. However, anime characters like Chap, Mayone, and Peperon will also appear.

Nintendo sent out its weekly newsletter to subscribers today. In it, it shows a special bonus for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe purchases at Target. You’ll receive the puzzle cube pictured above when you pick up the racer.
