Igrasil Studio just opened a new Kickstarter campaign for War of Ashird, which has already achieved full funding. Backers have raised over $30,000, and there’s still a full month to go to contribute.

War of Ashird is a strategic turn-based fantasy RPG that has players commanding soldiers and conquering enemy kingdoms’ territories. More than 20 playable characters will be included.

We have the following overview and trailer for War of Ashird:

Publisher Crunching Koalas and developer Studio Gauntlet today announced that Bonkies, a couch co-op construction builder, is in the works for Switch. The game will be seeing a release on Nintendo’s console sometime this summer.

Ion Fury

The old-school first-person shooter launches for Switch on May 14, but we have an early look at the game in action. View some footage in the video below.

Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition

It’s pretty clear that Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition uses the voice work from the original Wii title. However, we also know that the game features Future Connected, an entirely new epilogue created specifically for the Switch release. Thankfully, fans can rest easy knowing that all of the original cast returned, including Jenna Coleman – who originally voiced Melia.

When we first heard about Future Connected, it was more or less confirmed that Adam Howden would reprise his role as Shulk, though there was some uncertainty as to who would play Melia. Coleman has had some notable roles in other media since Xenoblade Chronicles launched a decade ago such as Clara Oswald on Doctor Who, so it was anybody’s guess if Nintendo would be able to bring her back. In a preview video with RogersBase, a Nintendo Threehouse representative confirmed that Coleman did in fact return, and that goes for the whole voice cast as well.

You can see that video and a whole bunch of other footage in our roundup here.

Colors Live

The well-received 3DS app Colors! 3D is returning on Switch as Colors Live, developer Collecting Smiles has announced.

New to this version of the drawing program is pressure sensitivity, complete with a pen that allows for “a natural painting experience”. Another addition is Colors Quest mode, in which “you complete a challenge every day by painting something on a set theme and various rules and make your way across the map.” The Colors Gallery will also be supported so that creations can be shared online.

Here’s a trailer for Colors Live:
