Titan Quest will cost $40 when it comes to Switch next year. If you’re an Amazon Prime member, pre-orders are supposed to be 20% off, making it $32. However, some sort of error is currently in place discounting it even further to $24.

During the GBA era, Soliani says he and artist Fabio Pagetti “almost convinced our managing director to let us produce a demo for a GBA version of Wind Waker.” Unfortunately, it didn’t get very far. There is also no working demo sadly.
Soliani shared the following on Twitter:

DSiWare title GO Series 10 Second Run returns as a Switch game
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
Many years ago, GO Series 10 Second Run hit the DSi Shop. That same game is back on Switch in the form of 10 Second Run Returns, and it’s out now on the Japanese eShop.
Below is an overview of the original game:
“Run like the wind in this unique twist on the classic platform game. Take control of a stick man and run for your life across an obstacle course to reach the goal within 10 seconds. Dash across platforms and avoid various hazards, desperately trying to reach the exit in time. Ten seconds is all you’ve got. Go flat out over 50 stages and three game modes. Do you have what it takes to reach the finish line?”
10 Second Run Returns seems to be very similar to the DSi game. However, split-screen multiplayer is supported for up to four players.
Here’s a trailer:
