Switch eShop

MixedBag Games, known for developing forma.8, have recently revealed on Twitter that they are working on Switch. It’s not really a surprise, since they already mentioned in the past that they hope to port forma.8 to Switch someday.

For now, MixedBag Games don’t have any game to announce, so we’ll have to stay tuned to what they have to offer in the future.

Yesterday we reported that Dark Witch Music: Rudymical, a rhythm mini-game that’s already out on 3DS, was coming to Switch and it was listed for May 11 on the official Nintendo UK’s website.

Now CIRCLE Ent.’s official Twitter account has confirmed that Dark Witch Music Episode: Rudymical will be coming to the North American Switch eShop on the same date, May 11, for a price of $7.99.

Here’s an English trailer:

The Switch eShop added in the ability to save credit card information last night. As it turns out, this wasn’t the only change.

The “Recent Releases” now features a “View All” button at the end of the page. Clicking on it presents all games sorted from new to old. You can also set the price range, view the best sellers, and arrange things from old to new.

What’s interesting about this is that it’s not entirely new. You could actually do it before, but the issue was that not many Switch owners knew about it. Basically, by going to the search area and then clicking “Search Filters”, the same page as the “View All” page pops up. So it may be somewhat of a minor addition, but something that will definitely go a long way.

Thanks to Jes T for the tip.

Flyhigh Works is readying Dark Witch Music Episode: Rudymical for Switch. Attached below, you can watch an official trailer for the game.

Gamer.ne.jp recently conducted an interview with Kenichiro Takaki, the producer of the Senran Kagura series, and a famous Japanese video game collector known as Sakekan. Among other things, they talked about their experience with the Switch so far, playing it in public places as well as the upcoming Switch title Shinobi Refle: Senran Kagura. The folks at Siliconera translated the interview; below are a few choice quotes:

Our video coverage of NBA Playgrounds is mostly coming to a close, but we’re ending things with a ton of gameplay. Check out over two hours of footage below.

We published an interview with Saber Interactive about NBA Playgrounds this past weekend. For those of you that missed it, it’s up on the site here.

One complaint some Switch users have had is the system’s inability to store credit card information on the eShop. Each time something is purchased, you’ve needed to reenter the details. But following some maintenance tonight, this changed.

When buying a digital download, you’ll now have the option to save your credit card information. You’ll see this information under your user profile when it’s stored. Users also have the option to enable / disable password entry for purchases when credit card information has been saved.

Below are a few photos showing the new credit card settings:

Nintendo appears set on improving the Switch eShop and making it more convienent to use, which isn’t too surprising. Last month, the company added in a best sellers chart.

NIS America, the publisher behind Disgaea 5 Complete, posted an image of the game’s cartridge on Twitter, which you can get a look at below. Additionally, you can make out some eye-catching artwork inside the case for the game in the background.


 

More details and screenshots have emerged regarding the recently announced Plantera DX for Switch, including a confirmation of a western release. Ratalaika Games will bring Plantera DX to the west “later down the line,” possibly as late as the 2017 holiday season. This version of the game is supposedly around three times larger than the 3DS version of the title. New content is included in this version of the game as well, such as new animals and characters, improved graphics and new music.

While the original wording was a bit vague, it seems that Plantera DX will only have limited support for the Switch in TV mode, as the focus on touch screen controls is still present in this version. The content added in Plantera DX is exclusive to the Switch version of the game, and will not be added to the 3DS or Wii U versions of the game.

While Plantera DX isn’t expected to release until the “holiday season” outside of Japan, the Japanese version of the game includes an English translation. If you don’t feel like waiting, you should have little trouble picking it up from the Japanese eShop when it’s released.

You can find new screenshots of the game in the gallery below.
