Game Informer posted a new clip from Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order showing off a boss fight in action. Check out a battle against Venom and Electro below.

If you were hoping for a physical version of Oninaki in the west, you might be out of luck. Square Enix has said that there will be no such option in North America and Europe.

Oninaki will have a physical release in Japan, and Play-Asia is already taking pre-orders here. The good news is that anyone can import a copy and play it on their system regardless of region. However, keep in mind that English support for the Japanese physical release is not yet confirmed. It’s likely given what happened with I Am Setsuna, though we do need to mention that regardless.

I Am Setsuna never had a physical version on Switch overseas. Square Enix did offer one for Lost Sphear, though only through its online store.

Spike Chunsoft just announced a short while ago that it will release YU-NO: A Girl Who Chants Love at the Bound of this World in the west. However, a couple of changes are being implemented in order to make the overseas launch possible.

In a blog post, Spike Chunsoft detailed how YU-NO: A Girl Who Chants Love at the Bound of this World will differ in the west compared to its Japanese counterpart. Here’s what players can expect:

YU-NO: A Girl Who Chants Love at the Bound of this World was recently rated by the ESRB, suggesting that the Switch version would be coming west. Spike Chunsoft has now officially confirmed the news.

Spike Chunsoft will publish YU-NO: A Girl Who Chants Love at the Bound of this World in North America on October 1 – news about Europe should follow in the near future. A “Day 1 Edition” will be offered that includes a voucher code for 8-bit YU-NO’s Great Adventure – “an action game set in classic 8-bit style featuring the characters from YU-NO”.

IGN has published a new video for Samurai Shodown focusing on Yashamaru. Have a look at his character trailer below.

Sumo Digital created an opening movie for Team Sonic Racing, which can be seen when booting up the game… except when playing on Switch. For whatever reason, the video is missing in action. No one has an official reason as to why at present.

Could it have something to do with the game’s file size? Team Sonic Racing weighs in at about 7GB, but if the opening movie was included, it may not be able to fit on an 8GB Switch cartridge. Seeing as larger carts cost more money for publishers to produce, perhaps SEGA decided not to include it.

For many, may years, Game Freak has been strongly attached to the Pokemon franchise. However, we’ve seen the studio branch out as of late with the likes of HarmoKnight, Pocket Card, Jockey, and Giga Wrecker Alt.

Giga Wrecker Alt. stems from a second production team at Game Freak that works on original titles. And according to programmer and director Masayuki Onoue, the Gear Project team is being prioritized – even “more than Pokemon in general.”
