Splatoon 2

Nintendo has confirmed that the next Splatoon 2 update will be going live later today. Version 5.3.0 includes a number of weapon adjustments.

Below are the full patch notes:

Update (8/17): The listing has now been pulled from Amazon UK. What that means at present is unclear.


Original (8/16): Could The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword be coming to Switch? Amazon UK at least seems to think it could be happening. A listing for the game has now popped up on the retailer’s website.

Here’s a look:

Runestone Keeper

New footage is in for the roguelike / roguelite dungeon crawler Runestone Keeper, which arrives on Switch this week. View the gameplay below.

Runestone Keeper launches as a Switch eShop download on August 20.

Civilization VI

A new August 2020 update has been announced for Civilization VI, which will be available to all players. It features the Natural Wonder picker (customize which Natural Wonders will/won’t show up), a Tech and Civics Shuffle mode that randomizes your path forward on the Tech and Civics trees, and more.

Here’s a video introducing the update:

Sports Story

Sports Story, the next game from Golf Story developer Sidebar Games, has been delayed.

Sports Story was originally expected in Switch in mid 2020. However, there was some concern about the project’s status after a listing on Nintendo’s website changed the release window to “TBD”.

Helheim Hassle

Helheim Hassle, a narrative adventure game with puzzle platforming elements, lands on Switch tomorrow. View some footage in the video below.

Helheim Hassle will launch for Switch via the eShop on August 18.

The broadcast will go live at the following times:
