Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 2 Comments
After making a few titles for 3DS, Abylight is now shifting its attention to Switch. The studio announced Qbics Paint for the system today.
Qbics Paint uses Switch’s touchscreen for 3D modeling and painting. You’ll be able to customize Qbics with a 24-color palette. There’s a “Creation Mode to sculpt and paint freestyle your own Qbics – or let your imagination run wild editing those you already unlocked, and combine it with the Image mode using a wide range of stock images to get you inspired”.
Here’s a rundown of features:
⦁ Release your stress with its relaxing gameplay while you train your creative skills and your spatial vision
⦁ Anyone can sculpt and paint in 3D by using its user-friendly interface
⦁ The touch screen of the Nintendo Switch makes a great canvas to create artwork that can be shared at Social Media through the Capture Button
⦁ 4 game modes: Sculpt, Paint, Creation, and Image
⦁ More than 50 models to unlock and 50 empty spaces to create your own figures
Qbics Paint will be available this year on the eShop. Abylight will share a final release date “shortly.”

WayForward recently announced that Shantae: Half-Genie Hero is coming to Switch this summer. Even though the news was only just shared a few weeks ago, it looks like we won’t be waiting much longer for the release.
According to a listing on the eShop, Shantae: Half-Genie Hero is heading to Switch in Europe next week – June 8. It will cost £15.99. We’d also not be surprised to see North America getting the game on the same day.
Below are some screenshots from the eShop listing (presumably from the Switch version):
And an overview:
Shantae embarks on her first full HD adventure! When a mysterious crime wave sweeps Seguin Land, it’s up to Half-Genie Hero Shantae to save the day!
