Switch

When The Art of Shantae was announced in 2017, it was on track for a 2018 release. That ultimately didn’t happen, and the book essentially fell of the radar. After a few years, it has finally resurfaced with a possible 2020 arrival.

A listing for The Art of Shantae has popped up on Amazon, which shows a December 1, 2020 release date. It also contains the following description of the 224-page book:

To celebrate today’s release of Skully, Modus Games and Finish Line Games have prepared a launch trailer. We have the video below.

Dokapon Up! Mugen no Roulette is in development for Switch, Aquaplus has announced. It’ll be a new Utawarerumono game that acts as a crossover between the Dokapon series, board games with RPG elements, and Aquaplus’ flagship series.

System: Switch
Release date: August 4, 2020
Developer: Finish Line Games
Publisher: Modus Games


Skully is a 3D platformer that struggles to get the ball rolling on Switch. It might remind Nintendo fans of early N64 platformers that experimented with what the genre could be. Skully keeps things simple but introduces a few new ideas that make it stand out from the platforming crowd. Unfortunately for Switch players, it looks like it belongs on the N64, too. Skully is a perfectly enjoyable little game with appealing art direction and some inventive mechanics, but it’s let down by an extremely lackluster Switch port.

What fans may not know is that during the presentation – which was not open the public – Nintendo offered a look at early footage from the game. It unfortunately seems that we won’t be able to see that footage, though we at least have a few off-screen screenshots.
