Ittle Dew 2+ dev on the game’s return to the Switch eShop and Nicalis

Months after it was taken down, Ittle Dew 2+ finally returns to the Switch eShop next week. Developer Ludosity is now able to release the game directly rather than having to go through Nicalis, the company that originally published its game.
The original issues came about last September after Ludosity terminated Nicalis’ publishing license six months prior due to breach of contract. Though Nicalis said it would transfer the game back to the studio on consoles, CEO Joel Nyström said Nicalis never followed through, and the title was simply taken down entirely.
Interestingly, according to Nyström, Nicalis apparently tried to re-publish Ittle Dew 2+ consoles despite having lost the rights. Nyström commented on the situation on Twitter and while speaking with GamesIndustry, writing:

Switch owners in China will soon have access to a pair of additional Switch titles. Super Mario Odyssey, in addition to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, are both launching on March 16.
A physical release isn’t planned – at least not initially. Instead, the games will be offered as download cards and on the eShop, limiting things to a digital release.

Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition now has an eShop page on the European eShop
Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Today, Nintendo added in a listing for Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition on the European (and Australian) Switch eShop. It contains the same brief information, trailer, and screenshots we’ve already seen, but it’s interesting that the page has only just now appeared, seemingly at a random time. Perhaps we’ll hear more about it soon.
Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition was announced during the last general Nintendo Direct in September 2019. Nintendo hasn’t shared any new information about the remake since then.
Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition was rated in South Korea last month, hinting that a release may not be too far away.
