Switch

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games 2020 is just a few weeks away from debuting on Switch, and we now have gameplay from the story mode. Check out the first 15 minutes of action below.

When Atelier Ryza was announced, fans quickly noticed that the game looked quite different from past entries. This time around, Gust is employing a more realistic look. We recently spoke with Atelier Ryza producer Junzo Hosoi to learn more about that decision.

Since Atelier Ryza is a landmark title given how it’s an entirely new entry in the franchise free of past connections, the team felt that making an adjustment with the visuals would make sense. The developers “really looked at the lighting and the shadows and the graphical elements.” It’s also the first major change since the Arland series.

Hosoi’s full words:

The Witcher 3 was once thought to be impossible on Switch, and yet the game will be arriving on Nintendo’s console in just a few days. Given how a demanding title like that managed to hit the system, some may wonder if Cyberpunk 2077 – CD Projekt Red’s latest effort – could end up there as well.

CD Projekt Red’s John Mamais addressed the possibility at PAX Australia this week. Mamais gave a bit of a wishy-washy answer, first pointing out the surprising port of The Witcher 3 before going on to say that it’s unlikely.

Ninjala

The action game Ninjala was announced for Switch at E3 2018 with plans for release in Spring 2019. It was eventually delayed by a full year with GungHo now planning on releasing the title in Spring 2020.

In an interview with Noisy Pixel, GungHo Online Entertainment CEO Kazuki Morishita discussed why Ninjala was pushed back as well as recent improvements that have been implemented. Morishita explained:

A new gameplay video has emerged for Pokemon Sword/Shield via the Secret Member’s Club in Japan showing off the first town in Galar. Have a look at the footage below.

New sales data is in from the UK for the month of September.

FIFA 20 topped the charts, with the Switch version seeing a slight increase year-over-year. Zelda: Link’s Awakening comes in at #3 as another new entry. It’s worth noting that Switch accounted for 18.7 percent of all physical games sold in the UK last month, which is actually the lowest it’s been since November 2018.

After Capcom offered demos for Resident Evil 5 and Resident Evil 6 on Switch this week, Digital Foundry examined the two games in greater detail. The bottom line is that they seem to be a bit of a mixed bag if you’re considering the technical side of things.
