Kirby and the Forgotten Land

This week’s expanded Japanese software sales are as follows:

Astebros

Astebros, a 16-bit roguelite with platforming elements, has been confirmed for Switch after receiving full funding on Kickstarter. Neofid Studios managed to raise over €50,000 and the campaign still has several days remaining. It’s worth noting that the project will be appearing on the SEGA Genesis as well.

Astebros lets players control three heroes (knight, ranger, and mage) as they explore a new continent with randomly generated dungeons in a variety of environments. The game loop involves exploring and collecting materials to upgrade equipment. Multiplayer is also fully supported, and the difficulty automatically adjusts when playing with a friend.

Nintendo’s Switch My Way commercial series continues on with two more adverts. This time around, we have videos for Nintendo Switch Sports and Kirby and the Forgotten Land.

He’s also mentioned that he will host a live Kickoff show occurring at the start of the event. As expected, the presentation will feature new announcements and first looks at various gaming properties. Details regarding the event will be available on the official website here, with more information set to be released in the coming weeks.

Original: E3 2022 has already suffered some setbacks, transitioning from what was supposed to be a physical event into a purely digital one. However, it seems like E3 2022 might now be cancelled in its entirety. Several industry members have been reporting that this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo will no longer proceed and is officially cancelled.

This particular account comes from Will Powers, current PR Lead at Razer Inc. and former employee at DeepSilver, PlayStation and Tencent Games. Supposedly, official emails have started being sent out to various companies informing them of the official cancellation of the event. This was corroborated by another well-known industry member, Jeff Grubb, who’s shared his thoughts in the past on E3 2022 being cancelled in its entirety.
