Slime Rancher: Plortable Edition

Not only was Slime Rancher: Plortable Edition announced for Switch during the Indie World Showcase last week, but it also released that same day. That shadowdrop release worked out well for Monomi Park as the game is off to a fast start on the eShop.

According to Monomi Park co-founder and CEO Nick Popovich, Slime Rancher’s Switch launch “was the best sales day in its history.” That’s despite the fact that the game has been around for several years.

Monomi Park is currently developing Slime Rancher 2, which was revealed earlier this year. There’s no word on a Switch release currently, but given the success of the original game on the console, perhaps a port will happen down the road.

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity takes place 100 years before The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Since it’s set well behind in the past, we’re able to see what the world was like before a good part of it was left in ruins.

This presented an interesting challenge to the Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity developers. The team had to go back to the drawing board and imagine what the world would have been originally like.

Producers Yosuke Hayashi and Masaki Furusawa, along with director Ryota Matsushita, noted the following about the design process while speaking with Japanese outlet Dengeki Online:
