Rival Megagun

Spacewave Software today announced a major update for its competitive split-screen vertical shoot ’em up Rival Megagun. It’ll come with new features and updates “designed to rebalance, enhance, and just in general make this deep-space battle royale a little more intense for all parties involved.”

Here’s a full rundown of what’s in store:

Apex Legends

EA has previously indicated that it intends to give Switch additional support this year. At least in one way, that could manifest by porting the free-to-play battle royale title Apex Legends to Switch.

The speculation has come about thanks to a new article from VentureBeat. Editor Jeff Grubb, who has recently reported accurate Nintendo rumors, has suggested that an announcement regarding Apex Legends for Switch could be made during the EA Play 2020 event, which will be held tomorrow. Grub labels his piece as “informed speculation.”

The official Twitter account for Apex Legends has confirmed that it will have a news update during the presentation. However, that could be for additional content planned for the game, and there’s no official confirmation at this time.

Street Power Soccer

SFL Interactive and Maximum Games have confirmed the latest set of ambassadors for its sports title Street Power Soccer.

The lineup includes:

Reports emerged earlier this week that Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield would feature level scaling in The Isle of Armor. It would allow for players to experience the DLC no matter whether they just started the games or complete them long ago. By scaling, the level of your Pokemon would more closely match the level of creatures you battle in the DLC.

Unfortunately, level scaling doesn’t appear to be in place after all. This has been confirmed by initial datamining led by Twitter user Sciresm as well as player reports.

The Isle of Armor DLC has launched for Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield, and we’re starting to learn new things about it.

Interestingly, the first Pokemon in your party can actually follow you across the various new environments. This will happen after reaching a certain point.

Here’s a look:

Cloudpunk

The cyberpunk narrative driven adventure Cloudpunk is getting a physical release on Switch, Merge Games has announced.

Cloudpunk will have both a standard version and Signature Edition. The latter release includes:

Pokemon Sword/Shield

Coinciding with today’s launch of The Isle of Armor for Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield, the Switch games have been updated. Version 1.2.0 is live worldwide.

Aside from adding in the new DLC, additional Pokemon can now appear, Link Codes are now 8-digits long, and more.

Below are the full patch notes:
