Grounded physical

Grounded, the next Xbox-published game coming to Switch, is now confirmed for physical release. As was the case with Pentiment, Limited Run Games is handling distribution.

Grounded will have a standard version and collector’s edition. With the latter, in addition to a copy of the game, you’ll get a special box, 4×6 frame that includes ten swappable art cards, a USB cassette tape soundtrack, a CD soundtrack, dice set, stickers, art book, Mant minitures, and Hopes sweatbands.

A police officer in his 40s at Japan’s Tenri Police Station has been reprimanded after playing Switch while on duty. Aside from receiving a warning from the director of the Nara prefectural police department, his pay will be deducted as well.

According to a report from The Japan News, the officer used a Switch ten times for a total of seventeen hours between November 2023 and February 2024. Again, this was while he was on duty. Police say that work was neglected when he connected his system to a TV in the break room at the police box.


Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream

February 21: As part of today’s Nintendo Direct, Bandai Namco announced Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream for Switch. The game is scheduled for a 2024 release.

Here’s the first tidbit shared thus far:

Yoko Shimomura Super Mario RPG interview

Yoko Shimomura played a key role in Super Mario RPG as back in the day, she was the game’s composer. Music is one of a few reasons why the title is beloved today.

Shimomura came back for the new remake and updated the tracks for the modern era. However, players can switch to the original music if they prefer.

In a previous feature on Daion, Shimomura shared a few words about her work. She mentions feeling pressure living up to the Super Mario name while also feeling “incredibly lucky”. We also get to hear about wanting the Switch version’s music to remain faithful to the original.

Kingdom Come Deliverance Switch port interview

Even though Switch has been around for over seven years, “miracle” ports for the system are always a topic of conversation. Many games that may have been thought impossible for the console have made their way over, ranging from The Witcher 3 to Doom Eternal.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance is now the latest port to have arrived on Switch. Despite being a game that can be taxing on even more powerful consoles, Warhorse Studios – in partnership with Saber Interactive – managed to make a version for Nintendo’s platform that is overall pretty admirable. We recently spoke with lead programmer Anton Vasilev to talk about what the development process was actually like.

Splatoon 3 Splatfest instrument

February 29: Nintendo has announced the latest Splatfest for Splatoon 3, which will carry a musical theme. Players will be asked to choose between three instruments that they’d prefer to play: drums, guitar, or keyboard.

The new Splatfest will kick off on March 22 in North America / March 23 in Europe. It will last until March 24 / March 25. As usual, we’ll share the results shortly after.
