Azure Striker Gunvolt 3 recently released on Switch to pretty positive reception. Unfortunately, a bug capable of corrupting save data has been found in the game.

The bug does seem relatively uncommon at least. For it to trigger, you’d need to delete a save file from the file select screen, then change your settings or language options from the title screen. Then, starting a new game in that deleted slot and either saving manually or auto-saving will corrupt that save slot.

Thankfully, Inti Creates is aware of this issue and is working to resolve it. Here is a statement from them detailing the issue and how to avoid it:

This week’s Famitsu review scores are as follows:

Nintendo PlayStation Xbox controller

Accessibility has become a more prominent topic in the gaming industry, and we’ve seen Microsoft in particular make a push with initiatives like its adaptive controller. Interestingly, there were plans – at least at one point – for a new kind of controller that would work across Nintendo, Xbox, and PlayStation hardware.

Former Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime shared that news in an interview with Inverse. He said the Xbox adaptive controller was being used “as a jumping-off point to create something that would be platform-agnostic and adaptable by any consumer.” The Nintendo / Xbox / PlayStation controller was happening three years ago, though Reggie isn’t sure if it’s still in development.

Nintendo has updated the Japanese release schedule on its platforms for the week of August 25, 2022. Here’s a look at the upcoming digital download schedule:
