Here’s the full roundup:

The latest Japanese hardware sales from Famitsu are as follows:

Transformers Earthspark - Expedition

Today, publisher Outright Games and developer Tessera Studios announced Transformers: Earthspark – Expedition. Switch will be getting it later in 2023.

Transformers: Earthspark – Expedition is the first game inspired by the original animated series that debuted late last year. It’s an action packed, single player experience that has players taking control of Bumblebee who’s seeking to put an end to a threat from Dr. Meridian.

Dr. Fetus' Mean Meat Machine trailer

Thunderful and Headup have issued a launch trailer for Dr. Fetus’ Mean Meat Machine. The explosive match-4 puzzler, which is set right after Super Meat Boy Forever, lands on Switch today.

Additional information is included in the following overview:

Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 physical download

Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 will indeed be receiving a physical release – which isn’t surprising since Konami has pretty much always done that for the series – but collectors won’t be happy to hear that much of it requires a download.

Almost nothing appears to be included on the actual cartridge. It does contain 2.4GB of data, but it sounds like players will essentially need to download most of the actual content. The site mentions 24.1GB that’s needed, and then if you’re interested in the bonus videos, that’s another 30GB.

Pikmin 1 + 2 gameplay

New gameplay is available showing both Pikmin 1 and Pikmin 2 on Switch. Both titles were not only announced for the system today, but released as well.

Here’s an official overview from the eShop listing:

Super Mario RPG graphics comparison

Super Mario RPG will be returning later this year with a remake fit for the game’s well-regarded reputation, and a new comparison video shows how much the graphics have been updated. GameXplain put together a video showing the Switch and SNES versions side by side.

Super Mario RPG seems to have new cutscenes, but that doesn’t mean the actual gameplay has been left by the wayside. There are plenty of improvements on that front as well, from completely redone character models to full environment overhauls. Super Mario RPG did come out on the SNES close to thirty years ago, so this sort of evolution is to be expected.

We have the official boxart for WarioWare: Move It, which we’ve attached above. Additionally, a new set of screenshots is available.
