Nintendo Switch

Rumors of a new Switch revision escalated again this week. It’s thought that Nintendo may unveil the system before E3, which essentially means that we could be hearing something within the next two weeks. The device is also rumored to launch in September or October.

Vandal, a Spanish website that has apparently been correct regarding other topics, now claims to have a few additional tidbits from an Asian accessories manufacturer. The site shares the following:

Streets of Rage 4 - Shiva

Streets of Rage 4 has received a new trailer that provides a first look at Shiva, who will be added to the game as part of the Mr. X Nightmare DLC.

Here’s a brief introduction to the character:

The UK My Nintendo Store has a new Mario Golf: Super Rush pre-order bonus up for grabs. By reserving the game, you’ll receive the water bottle pictured above.

Mario Golf: Super Rush launches for Switch on June 25. Pre-orders are open on the store here.

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night

A sequel to Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is apparently in development. That’s according to an official financial document from Digital Bros., the parent company of publisher 505 Games.

The document mentions that a “second version” is in the works. Digital Bros. has used that exact term to refer to other games that have a planned sequel.

Here’s a look at the relevant page:

As part of yesterday’s Sonic Central presentation, SEGA confirmed that the next Sonic game is in the works for Switch. But aside from platforms and a 2022 release window, not much else has been said about the project. We weren’t even provided with an official name as part of the reveal.

However, it’s possible that the upcoming game will be titled “Sonic Rangers”. That news actually comes directly from SEGA itself. In a press release going around, this blurb has been spotted:

Nippon Ichi Software has dropped a new trailer for Ys IX: Monstrum NOX, which highlights the Switch version. This over 4 minute video takes a look at several different characters, their gameplay, and even makes mention of the DLC included in the deluxe edition (Japan only). 

The entire trailer is in Japanese but the gameplay can be enjoyed by anyone interested in the game. Check out the full video below!

Ys IX: Monstrum Nox launches for Switch on July 6, 2021. 

Nintendo Switch

The news will not stop coming for Nintendo’s rumored upgraded Switch model, and now an Amazon listing has appeared for the product. The listing is for a “New Nintendo Switch Pro” and it is being sold by the official Nintendo Amazon account.

 

This appears to be a placeholder page for the product, so there is no release date but the model number is listed as “dummyasin-nnsw-2021-014.” Whether or not this is a real listing will only be seen in time, but it is safe to say the rumors for the upgraded Switch model are in full swing now.

This listing was first spotted by Twitter user @Alphabeat_g.

More than a decade after Sonic Colors first appeared on Wii, the game is seeing new life on Switch as Sonic Colors: Ultimate. GameXplain has now put together a video comparing the two versions.

Here’s the full video:
