The Infectious Madness of Doctor Dekker

Wales Interactive published Late Shift on Switch last month. Another FMV title, The Infectious Madness of Doctor Dekker, will soon be available as well.

The North American eShop shows that The Infectious Madness of Doctor Dekker is due out digitally on June 5. Pricing is set at $12.99.

The rumor mill has been swirling today with speculation about Star Fox: Grand Prix. Supposedly, Retro Studios is working on this new project for Switch, which is drawing comparisons to Diddy Kong Racing. Among what’s speculated to be included in the game is a story mode and boss battles.

Star Fox: Grand Prix apparently wasn’t the only title Retro had been working on since Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, though it may never see the light of day. Kotaku reports that “Retro had a separate project that went through a rocky development cycle and may in fact be canceled.”

According to listings on Amazon, two new stands are due out for Switch next week. HORI is preparing Compact PlayStands based on Zelda and Mario designs.

The stands are officially licensed for Nintendo, and allow for play in Tabletop Mode while charging. They also have an adjustable angle and fold up for portability.

Both of these stands should be out on May 22 for $12.99 each.
