Nintendo Switch

Nintendo is quickly running out of games to release on Switch in terms of what’s been announced. After Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition drops this month followed by Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics in early June, there’s not much on the docket with an official release date. That doesn’t mean Nintendo doesn’t have anything in the pipeline, however.

We know that Nintendo has games that are longer out such as Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 and Metroid Prime 4. As far as titles releasing sooner than that though, president Shuntaro Furukawa stated during an investor call Q&A this week that the company has “games that are scheduled to release during this period other than what’s been announced.” He was quick to caution that the current work situation, where employees are now at home, has the potential to impact plans.

Furukawa’s full words (as translated by our own Oni Dino):

Update: GungHo now tells us that a second beta test is currently unconfirmed. Stay tuned for additional information.


Original: Due to the coronavirus, Ninjala has been delayed by about a month. GungHo Online Entertainment is hoping to make the wait a little bit easier by holding a second beta test. We don’t have all of the details yet, but more information should be coming very soon.

As for the delay, GungHo president and CEO Kazuki Morishita explained:

Bethesda and id Software today published the first official screenshots from Doom Eternal’s campaign DLC. We have them attached to this post.

Doom Eternal was originally slated to launch on Switch alongside all other versions in March, but was delayed. Bethesda has yet to announce a new release window.
