The Silver Case

During an online version of MomoCon today, Suda51 appeared during a live stream. The No More Heroes director ended up answering a number of questions regarding his career both past and present.

At one point, Suda51 was asked about the possibility of some of his previous games landing on Switch. It sounds like there’s a decent chance of The Silver Case finding its way to the system since discussions have been held. As for Killer7 and Killer is Dead, that’d be up to Capcom and Kadokawa Games respectively.

Suda51’s translator relayed the following:

Civilization VI

Civilization VI received its Maya & Gran Colombia Pack this week, which can be obtained through the New Frontier Pass or individually. A bunch of content was added and there’s also a pretty significant update for all players – even without having purchased the DLC.

Here’s the full rundown as to everything that’s new and updated:

Animal Crossing: New Horizons

Nintendo updated Animal Crossing: New Horizons a couple of days ago to version 1.2.1. Although the official patch notes only made mention of bug fixes, there’s more to that beyond the surface.

Based on player reports, Nintendo has patched out some well-known duplication glitches. These include exploits using the table and mailbox. With the mailbox glitch, players could manipulate the auto-save feature, but this is no longer possible.

2K Games Switch

2K has a number of big ports lined up for Switch next week. BioShock: The Collection, Borderlands Legendary Collection, and XCOM 2 Collection are all slated for May 29.

Back in March, 2K announced the ports in a Nintendo Direct Mini. The news was put together in a neat little video with the message that “2K ♡ Switch”. In an interview with Famitsu, 2K chief creative Sami Thessman spoke more about the campaign and Switch support.

Animal Crossing Gyroids

Gyroid items do not exist in Animal Crossing: New Horizons – at least as things stand now. But speculation continues to mount that the feature could be returning at some point in the future.

The latest update comes from the official Animal Crossing: New Horizons guide. In it, there’s a small blurb that contains the following:

If everything is still going according to plan, Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield will have its first major DLC within the next few weeks. Nintendo, The Pokemon Company, and Game Freak previously announced that the debut expansion will arrive by the end of June.

Ahead of the upcoming DLC, Pokemon Home was updated on mobile yesterday. Fans have since datamined the latest files and have found the names of 21 new moves.

The full list is as follows:

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night has been updated on Switch to version 1.10. Zangetsu has been added as a playable character, and the new Randomizer mode can be accessed.

Here’s a full rundown of both features:
