Black Friday 2020 technically won’t begin for another few days, but a number of major retailers have already kicked off their sales. If you’re a Switch owner, there are quite a few deals to take advantage of.

Here are some of the highlights:

Monster Hunter Stories

Capcom has not one, but two Monster Hunter games for Switch. Along with Monster Hunter Rise, fans can also look forward to Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin.

Right now, the only way to play Monster Hunter Stories on a dedicated system is on 3DS. Some fans were hoping that Capcom might consider porting over the original title before playing the new entry. Unfortunately though, that won’t be happening.

Capcom’s Ryozo Tsujimoto told Gamereactor:

Unruly Heroes, a platformer that originally launched for Switch in January 2019, is now receiving the physical treatment. Pix’n Love Publishing will be handling distribution.

The physical version of Unruly Heroes will come in two forms. Standard copies will be available, in addition to a collector’s edition. The collector’s edition features some extras like a hardcover art book and soundtrack CD.

Pre-orders for Unruly Heroes are now open through Pix’n Love Publishing here.

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity

This week’s issue of Famitsu contains an interview with key members of the Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity team. Producer Yosuke Hayashi and director Ryouta Matsushita as well as Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma answered a few questions about the new Switch game.

Famitsu asked about a few topics, including why a new Hyrule Warriors game was made themed after Breath of the Wild and whether Aonuma had any specific requests for the project. The magazine also asked about whether certain elements had already been established when it came to the characters and story.

Here’s our full translation:

What should be Nintendo’s big game for the holiday arrived yesterday. Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity is now available worldwide.

Although the game has only been out for about a day or so, it’s likely that many Switch owners have made a purchase and have played through a fair amount so far. It also helps that a demo was released a couple of weeks ago which contains a good chunk to experience.
