Yesterday, an update for the Switch version of 2064: Read Only Memories Integral was shared in a Kickstarter update. The current plan is to have it ready in February or so. At the moment, the port “is about 85% done.”

On Switch, 2064: Read Only Memories Integral will feature several extras including trailers, art, music, and more in a special bonus “zome”. Fans can expect pricing to be set at $20.64.

Also mentioned is that a physical release could happen. Limited Run Games could help make that happen.

Bandai Namco is continuing its trend of bringing some of its older titles to Switch. Following Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 and One Piece: Unlimited World Red Deluxe Edition, One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3 Deluxe Edition has been announced for the console.

One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3 Deluxe Edition, which originally came out in 2015, mashes Koei Tecmo’s Warriors series with the famous manga IP. The new Switch version will come with 42 pieces of DLC. This includes challenge episodes and costumes. Online co-op from the PlayStation versions is missing, but local two-player co-op is supported with two sets of Joy-Con or Pro Controllers.

A number of new items have been added to Miitomo. Among the selection you’ll find in the app, the following are now available:

– Rose eyepatch
– Devil’s horns
– Night robe

These items can be obtained by using Miitomo coins in Miitomo Shop.

Game Freak has a delicate balance going on at the moment. The studio is currently wrapping up Pokemon Ultra Sun and Pokemon Ultra Moon for 3DS. But as we found out at E3, Game Freak is also shifting towards Switch with its very first Switch project.

On the bright side, handling two big projects doesn’t seem to be an issue for the company. In an interview with GameSpot, Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon producer Shigeru Ohmori noted how the latest 3DS games can be thought of “mainly as a project for our younger staff to work on and grow and develop their skills, while perhaps the more veteran, established members of the company can work on the upcoming [Switch] project.”
