Skully is a 3D platformer that struggles to get the ball rolling on Switch. It might remind Nintendo fans of early N64 platformers that experimented with what the genre could be. Skully keeps things simple but introduces a few new ideas that make it stand out from the platforming crowd. Unfortunately for Switch players, it looks like it belongs on the N64, too. Skully is a perfectly enjoyable little game with appealing art direction and some inventive mechanics, but it’s let down by an extremely lackluster Switch port.

The Platinum Showcase started Aug. 3, 11 PM PT. A wind-attuned 5★ adventurer is guaranteed to appear as the tenth summon in your tenfold summon. It is worth noting that like always, this Platinum Showcase will require paid currency to summon on, and has a maximum of two pulls per player.

Additionally, The Wind Focus summon showcase also began this evening. Only wind-attuned adventurers and dragons will appear in this summon showcase. This is the perfect time to chase after any wind-attuned team members you haven’t obtained yet.

Nowhere Prophet

The deck-building card game Nowhere Prophet made it to consoles last week. We don’t have a full breakdown of the game’s sales currently, but it seems to be doing fairly well on Switch.

According to Mike Rose from publisher No More Robots, the opening weekend sales for Nowhere Prophet were 95 percent higher on Switch than PS4. Rose later said that when it comes to Sony’s console, they are “not even close to the sales we’re achieving on Switch and Xbox”.

Nowhere Prophet launched for Switch on July 30. It’s out now on the eShop.

Zelda: Breath of the Wild dev test

Back in 2017, Nintendo held a CEDEC session that delved into the development of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Although that took place a few years ago, some of the images shared during the presentation are making the rounds today.

What fans may not know is that during the presentation – which was not open the public – Nintendo offered a look at early footage from the game. It unfortunately seems that we won’t be able to see that footage, though we at least have a few off-screen screenshots.
