Chasm

Bit Kid has announced that Chasm will be getting a big update on Switch soon. The developer is working with an outside porting studio to put the latest additions on Nintendo’s console.

Thus far, Bit Kid has only mentioned a few elements about the update. Players can look forward to new room variations for all areas, unique and legendary item drops as well as bonus stats, and customizable gamepad controls.

Chasm is currently available digitally on the Switch eShop. A release date for the update has not yet been announced.

Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 was updated on most platforms this week with a new Photo Mode. Unfortunately, Switch players will have to wait a bit longer. Bandai Namco says that the feature will be added “later this year” on Nintendo’s console.

As the name implies, Photo Mode lets player take all sorts of unique screenshots in-game. Various filters can be used as well.

SEGA shared a new batch of screenshots that give us a good look at the Frozen Junkyard stage. Have a look at the various images in the gallery below.

Team Sonic Racing will be out for Switch on May 21.

3D Realms is currently planning its first-person shooter Wrath: Aeon of Ruin for Switch. Schreiber, recently speaking with GameRevolution, indicated that getting mature titles approved by Nintendo is relatively simple.

Schreiber says that the Big N would only take issues with games that would fall under the Adults-Only-rated ESRB category – meaning “straight-up nudity and violence.” Other than that, “it’s pretty straightforward.”

Professor Layton and the Curious Village

Could Professor Layton and the Curious Village be coming to Switch? A listing from G4F Localization certainly gives some hope in that area.

The website for G4F Localization has a page up for Professor Layton and the Curious Village for Switch, which was just added this month. It states that that the company worked on “additional translation for the Nintendo Switch version, in French by G4F & Italian, German and Spanish by Native Prime.” A 2018 date is also mentioned, but that could just be when localization was done.

Shadow Blade: Reload

According to a listing on the eShop, Shadow Blade: Reload will be appearing on Switch next month. The action-platformer is due for release on April 3.

Here’s an overview of the game, along with a trailer:

Back in February, fans datamined Realm Royale and found a line of text pointing to a possible Switch version. Given that Hi-Rez Studios already has Paladins and Smite on the eShop, the news about Realm Royale also likely releasing on the system wasn’t a huge surprise. It also wasn’t surprising since Paladins and Smite were both leaked for Switch through datamining.

Nearly two months later, Realm Royale has been datamined again and there’s even more evidence of an upcoming Switch version. Not only has a new alpha pack been spotted, but an unfinished “Nintendo Switch Chicken” has also been found.

Atlus announced Persona 5: The Royal earlier today. Unfortunately, it has only been confirmed for PlayStation 4 (at least for now) even though there were rumors of a Switch version also happening. Yet despite that news, the game may have a connectioon to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

The InkyPen app received a notable update this week. Version 1.1.0 is now available, which includes a selection of free comics and more.

Below are the full patch notes:

Nintendo has shared a new interview with Jared Moldenhauer, the co-creator of Cuphead. Moldenhauer weighed in on what inspired the making of the game, the well-known art style, and more.
