Switch eShop

Hamster kept up with its string of NeoGeo games on Switch this week. On Thursday, Arcade Archives hit the eShop. View an official trailer for it below.

Vblank Entertainment put out a new video today containing footage from one of the areas in Shakedown: Hawaii. Get a look at the Meat House Gym with the promo below.

Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn

Shaq-Fu: A Legend Reborn is in development for Switch. That’s according to Saber Interactive CEO Matthew Karch, who revealed this information to Nintendo Everything in a recent interview.

Shaq-Fu: A Legend Reborn was originally funded on Indiegogo in 2014. At the time, it seemed like a Wii U version had been secured. We’re unsure if Shaq-Fu: A Legend Reborn is still planned for Wii U, but now that Switch has arrived, it wouldn’t be surprising to hear about its cancellation.

On its Twitter page, Udon Entertainment shared a preview of Shovel Knight: Official Design Works. A couple of pages from the upcoming book were posted.

Shovel Knight: Official Design Works ships at the end of August. It features key art, character concepts, enemy designs, sprite sheets, unused ideas, and a tribute art gallery. Pre-orders are currently $9 off on Amazon.

Charles Martinet – otherwise known as the voice of Mario – voiced several lines in Runner2. For Runner3, he reprised his role as The Narrator. Martinet’s work just wrapped up this week.

Speaking about Martinet’s involvement and the story in Runner3, Choice Provisions writes on its blog:

“As you may already know, Charles Martinet very graciously agreed to return for his role of The Narrator. What you don’t know, however, is that he has quite a few more lines this time around! Like, way more!

The story of Runner3 is going to be a little more substantial than what you’ve seen in the previous Runner games. We won’t let it obstruct the gameplay, certainly, but if you’re the kind of player who’s interested in learning a little more about the wacky world of Runner3, that option will be there for you. I don’t want to tell you how to play your video game, of course, but I do highly recommend you seek out the story we’ve woven throughout the game. We’ll do a blog post soon about what that kind of pursuit would look like.”

Choice Provisions also has a preview of Martinet’s voice in Runner3. Listen to it here.

During the last Nindies Showcase, SteamWorld Dig 2 devs Image & Form announced their latest game and, among other things, they specified that this new iteration will use Switch’s HD Rumble feature.

Nothing more was said about it until now. In a recent interview posted on the official Nintendo UK site, Julius Guldblog, Community Manager at Image & Form, talked more about how exactly are they planning to implement HD Rumble when playing SteamWorld Dig 2:

“I quite like what we’ve been able to pull off with HD Rumble. One thing is recreating the sensation of digging into certain materials. There’s so many cool things you can do. HD rumble will be a fabulous feature of SteamWorld Dig 2.”

He hints that we’ll be able to feel with our Joy-Con different materials when digging them, but that’s probably just an example and there will be more uses for this feature.
