Block'Em

The block-building party game Block’Em will be appearing on Switch, publisher Curve Games and Swedish studio Cat Shawl Games announced today. It will initially be available this September for PC, with the Switch version following later.

Block’Em is an action-filled block-building party game for 2 to 4 players. In it, players must be the first to reach the goal or be the last Block standing, though the arena will be chaotic and has obstacles like fireballs. Both online and local multiplayer are supported.

Signalis physical

Signalis is expected on Switch later this year, but a physical version hadn’t been announced – until now that is.

In Japan, Playism has confirmed that it picked up the game for publishing. And as part of that, the company intends to make a physical version available in the region. The survival horror title will also fully support English, so any Switch owner can import the survival horror title and play it.

Melty Blood: Type Lumina Neco-Arc and Mash Kyrielight

Original (7/31): Neco-Arc and Mash Kyrielight are joining Melty Blood: Type Lumina as new DLC characters, Project Lumina and French-Bread announced today. Both will be available this summer with new character stories and battle stages at no extra cost.

Demon Slayer Kimetsu no Yaiba - The Hinokami Chronicles Nezuko Kamado (Advanced Demon Form)

Original (7/21): According to the latest issue of Weekly Jump, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Hinokami Chronicles will be receiving its Nezuko Kamado (Advanced Demon Form) Character Pack DLC in mid-August.

Specifics have yet to emerge from the Japanese magazine. However, leaks says that Nezuko Kamado (Advanced Demon Form) looks the same as she appears in the anime and manga.

Bandai Namco had recently announced Doraemon Story of Seasons: Friends of the Great Kingdom as a new game making its way to Switch later this year. They’ve now given a more detailed release date for the game, at least in Japan, with the title now set to drop on November 2 in the region.

Although this is specifically the game’s release date in Japan, the game was originally revealed with a worldwide 2022 release window. As such, we can probably expect a similar Western release date to be unveiled soon.

A season pass and Digital Deluxe Edition were also announced for the game. The Season Pass will offer three packs of content, each featuring new clothing, furniture, and short scenarios, while the Digital Deluxe Edition will include the Season Pass, two special in-game seed sets and an 80-song digital soundtrack. As before, these have only been announced for Japan, but there’s not much reason for these not to release internationally either.
