Cypronia’s sandbox title Cube Life: Island Survival is being revitalized on new platforms. Originally made for the Wii U eShop, the company announced today that the game is now heading to Switch and other non-Nintendo systems.

Cypronia hasn’t said how the new version of Cube Life: Island Survival will play. The indie developer is only calling it an “HD version” – despite the fact that it did originally output in HD on Wii U.

View the first screenshots from Cube Life: Island Survival HD below.

During its latest financial results briefing, Nintendo teased a major update planned for Miitomo. President Tatsumi Kimishima mentioned that the patch “will introduce a unique message feature that lets you use your Mii character’s facial expressions and voice to send any message you want in expressive one-on-one communication.”

The Japanese Miitomo Twitter account made its first mention of the new update a little while ago, teasing more features to come. Along with the messaging functionality, you’ll also be able to customize your room’s floor and wallpaper.

It’s unclear when exactly the Miitomo update is releasing. However, it’ll be arriving sometime soon.
