Game Builder Garage

Nintendo has new programming software coming out on Switch next month. Just a few days ago, Game Builder Garage was unveiled for Switch.

Game Builder Garage will be offered physically in North America and Japan. In Europe though, it’s another story. This went a bit under the radar, but Nintendo’s release schedule from this week confirms that Game Builder Garage is digital-only in Europe. It’s currently unclear why that is.

Game Builder Garage is due out for Switch in June 11. Those in Europe that are interested in owning the title physically will need to import from another region.

In an interview with IGN, nWay’s Rose Silvestre explained how the collaboration came to be. He told the site:

The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV

Falcom hasn’t had much of a presence on Nintendo platforms, but that has really started to change with Switch. The company’s biggest franchises – Ys and The Legend of Heroes – are now starting to be made more widely available on the platform.

Nippon Ichi Software has largely been responsible for bringing Falcom’s games to Switch (with Engine Software handling porting). Ys VIII, Ys IX, The Legend of Heroes Trails of Cold Steel III, and The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV are all on the console thanks to their support. Meanwhile, Clouded Leopard Entertainment are helping to put other entries in The Legend of Heroes series on the system, though they’ve only been announced for Japan and Asia at present.

In a recent issue of Famitsu, Falcom president Toshihiro Kondo spoke with the Japanese magazine about the company’s Switch support. He was joined by Nippon Ichi Software boss Sohei Niikawa with the two also discussing the recently-released Switch version of The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV.

It’s been two decades after the original release of Pokemon Snap on Nintendo 64, and since then fans have been both nostalgic and petitioning for a worthy successor. Despite its failure, when the Wii U was Nintendo’s current console on the market, many were certain that a new entry would materialize as the GamePad seemed like the perfect controller for a truly next generation Pokemon Snap experience. New Pokemon Snap now finally sees the long awaited and almost mythical release of a sequel on Switch, and brings a slew of new features, replayability, and stunning graphics that lets us look at Pokemon in a way we’ve never seen them before. It lets players get up close and personal with their trusty cameras once again to take wondrous shots, all in the comfort of their own home or on the go instead of a Blockbuster.

Clannad Side Stories

Clannad Side Stories is coming to Switch this month. The title is confirmed to be supporting English, and will be getting a worldwide release. However, only Japan will be receiving a physical version.

Fortunately, much like the digital edition, Clannad Side Stories will also support English at retail. Fans of the game can import a boxed copy and play through the entire experience in English.

Clannad Side Stories launches for Switch on May 20. Pre-order the physical version on Play-Asia here.
