Ring Fit Adventure

Due to the continued success and demand for Ring Fit Adventure, Nintendo is continuing to promote the Switch title. A new round of commercials were shared online today for the Japanese market. We have the full set below.

Gods & Monsters

At E3 2019, Ubisoft revealed Gods & Monsters. The open-world action-adventure game, which has drawn a few comparisons to Zelda: Breath of the Wild, is currently experiencing extended development after being delayed well beyond its planned February 2020 launch. It’s been a year since the original announcement and we’ve yet to see much of the project, but a new leak has given us a look at the title in action. 

Today’s leak came about in a very unexpected way. It appears that an early development build briefly appeared on Google Stadia and a few users were actually able to get their hands on it. Clips show a big world to explore, a stamina meter like Breath of the Wild, combat, and more. However, it should be stressed that since this is a dev build, not all assets/elements are final, and there will be changes for the final release.

Nickelodeon Kart Racers 2: Grand Prix

GameMill Entertainment has announced Nickelodeon Kart Racers 2: Grand Prix, a follow-up to the 2018 game. A release is planned for October.

The Escapist Indie Showcase is beginning now. Today’s presentation kicks off at 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET / 5 PM in the UK / 6 PM in Europe.

We’ll be getting a look at over 70 games, so presumably there’ll be at least a few things here relevant to Switch owners. Viewers can expect new reveals and gameplay, along with developer diaries. We’ll report back with any notable Nintendo news.

Ninjala

Ninjala fans will be able to purchase the game’s story mode when it launches later this month, the latest issue of CoroCoro confirms.

Based on a previous datamine, the story move involves fending off the attacks of invading space ninja. If what was found in the files holds true, you’ll be playing as Van, who has a mentor called Master Gramps. CoroCoro says there will be battles, characters, and stories that can only be accessed through this mode.

In Japan, the story mode will be offered as DLC for 1,100 yen. However, it’ll have a discount and will be sold for 495 yen for a limited time.
