Bandai Namco has prepared a commercial for Pro Yakyuu Famista Climax, which is releasing in Japan on April 20. You can see it below.

It’s time for the latest Famitsu‘s most wanted games chart. Zelda: Breath of the Wild on Switch is now in the top five, Splatoon 2 and Fire Emblem Echoes move up several spots, and Dragon Quest XI for Switch plus Xenoblade Chronicles 2 make their first appearances.

Head past the break for the full chart. All votes were cast between February 2 and February 8.

Arc System Works has two games lined up for the Japanese Switch eShop launch. On March 3, the company will release Othello and Frontier Days. Japanese magazine Nintendo Dream provides an early look at both in this month’s issue.

In Othello, you can battle against 16 different levels of CPU opponents. You can also take advantage of wait / undo and hint functions. Of course, two players are supported as well. Othello will cost 500 yen on Switch.

Arc System Works’ other Switch title is New Frontier Days: Founding Pioneers. Nintendo Dream doesn’t say much, but confirms that more modes are included compared to the 3DS version and it features HD visuals. A price point is not listed.

New Frontier Days: Founding Pioneers should be coming west, and perhaps sooner rather than later. Arc System Works already has a teaser site open here.

The latest episode from the “Teens React” series has various people sharing their thoughts about Switch while watching various trailers, including games. The system itself, Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and Super Mario Odyssey are featured. Check out the full video below.
