Nintendo has given a bit of heads up regarding its future maintenance plans. There’s not a whole lot that’s scheduled, but we do know of three different periods lined up leading into the start of August.

Here’s what we know of at the moment:

One of the highlights from EA Play Live was the reveal of Lost in Random. The new game, made by Stick it to the Man, Flipping Death, and FE, was announced for Switch and other platforms.

As neat as the debut trailer was, it didn’t paint the best picture of what Lost in Random actually is, and some fans may have the wrong impression regarding what the game will be like. Directors Klaus Lyngeled and Olov Redmalm have since shared a bunch of new information with IGN that should start filling in the blanks.

Here’s a roundup of the latest details:

Kill It With Fire, “a first-person action game about hunting spiders and causing collateral damage”, may have a shot at landing on Switch. Publisher tinyBuild posted a video this week showing a technical test for the game running on the platform in portable mode. Before now, there hadn’t been any discussion regarding a potential Switch port.

We’ll keep an eye out for a possible announcement in the future of Kill It With Fire coming to Switch. For now, learn more about the game with an official overview and Switch video below.

Gamer Girl

Wales Interactive and FMV Future announced Gamer Girl this week. But after it received a significant amount of backlash on social media, the announcement was pulled, and Wales Interactive has now shared a statement.

Those who have criticized Gamer Girl feel that it perpetuates some of the issues that female streamers are forced to tackle like sexual harassment. The multi-branching FMV title has players taking on the role of a moderator for a streamer, “who’s back online after the mysterious disappearance of her friend Becky.” Wales Interactive’s announcement mentioned that you “control the stream, level up mod powers, guide Abi’s choices and uncover the threat she faces by an anonymous predator who hides in the stream’s chat.”
