Pro Yakyuu Famitsa 2020

Bandai Namco has provided a firm release date for Pro Yakyuu Famista 2020. In Japan, the game will be out for Switch on September 17.

Today’s news was accompanied by an official anime opening. We’ve included that video below.

Pro Yakyuu Famista 2020 was announced for Switch back in March. We have more on the game here.

Ahead of tomorrow’s release, EA has shared a launch trailer for Burnout Paradise Remastered on Switch. Have a look at the video below.

EA announced today that it will be bringing FIFA 21 Legacy Edition to Switch. Unfortunately, like the most recent entry in the series, players on Nintendo’s console are getting the short end of the stick.

FIFA 21 Legacy Edition comes with the latest kits and squad updates for the upcoming season as well as an updated presentation, relating to in-game menus and broadcast overlays. However, there will be no new game modes or gameplay innovations.

FIFA 21 launches worldwide on October 9, which is when we should be seeing the Switch version.

Lost in Random

EA and Zoink today announced Lost in Random, a gothic fairytale action-adventure title. A release is scheduled for 2021.

Update: EA has since announced Lost in Random and FIFA 21 Legacy Edition for Switch. Presumably these were two of the titles being referred to.
