Case in point, this handsome devil…

A pair of new Switch-related campaigns have opened on Kickstarter. You can put down pledges for both Hex Gambit and Demoniaca. For Demoniaca, Switch is a stretch goal at $100,000.

Here’s the rundown on Hex Gambit:

In a world called Agon, the sharpest strategic minds command squads of expendable automatons in an explosive arena sport called the Hex Gambit.

Hex Gambit is a unique turn-based strategy game coming to Steam and the Nintendo Switch console, from the makers of the cult classic Outwitters (view our entire catalog of games here). It’s designed to get to the fun part fast: Drag and drop minions onto your side of the map on Turn 1; start hitting stuff on Turn 2! Games typically last 10-30 minutes (depending how fast you think), with the action always intensifying in the late game for an epic conclusion.

Our vision is to create something deceptively simple, focusing on a limited number of character abilities that have lots of creative uses and combinations. That makes it easy for you and your friends to learn the basics and start exploring your own strategies. You won’t need a seminar to get started!

And Demoniaca:

In DEMONIACA you will accompany the main character along her bloody journey of vengeance. DEMONIACA is a dark, gothic pixel art action platformer that combines Castlevania’s concept with classic Fighting Game combat mechanics, like “the King of Fighters”. In fact it is the first existing prototype of Kofvania.

Hex Gambit is planned for April 2018 on Switch. Demoniaca is targeted for sometime in 2018.

Infinite Minigolf is out today as a downloadable title on the Switch eShop. Zen Studios published the official launch trailer, available below.

Two games on the European Switch originally listed for this week have since had their release dates updates.

First up, Retro City Rampage DX received a new release date of August 3. Vblank originally hoped to have the game ready on Thursday, but had also mentioned that next week was a possibility.

Phantom Trigger never had an officially-announced release date, so the change here isn’t surprising. It’s now listed as “TBD”.

Ironcast is releasing for Switch on August 10, developer Dreadbit and Ripstone Publishing announced today. The game will be priced at £12.99 / $12.99 / €14.99.

Ironcast on Switch is the complete Ironcast collection and includes all available Commanders and Mechs. It can be played with the console docked, in tabletop mode with the Pro Controller, and on the go in handheld mode using either the Joy-Con controllers or by using the touch screen functionality. HD Rumble support is also in.

Here’s an overview of Ironcast:

Penguin Wars was originally made as an arcade title in 1985 before reaching additional platforms, including Game Boy. A remake of the title is now in development for Switch, according to the latest issue of Famitsu.

Penguin Wars has two players facing off against each other. Both participants start out with five balls on their side of the table. Ultimately, all ten balls need to end up on one side of the table to declare a winner.

A new patch for Minecraft on Switch releasing soon contains one pretty significant change: the game now allows for a resolution of 1080p to be output when the Switch is docked. Previously, the limit, even when docked, was 720p.

Below are the full patch notes for Minecraft’s latest update on Switch:
