System: Switch
Release date: July 26, 2019
Developer: MachineGames / Arkane Studios / Panic Button
Publisher: Bethesda
If you’ve already had the pleasure of experiencing Wolfenstein: The New Colossus on Switch then you’re familiar with how the series has managed to distill the FPS formula down to perfection. In an era dominated by damp fetch quests and morally ambiguous “makes you think” villains, both MachineGames’ Wolfenstein and id Software’s Doom reboot have felt like a breath of fresh air for those of us who get misty-eyed over 90’s shooters. For the uninitiated, here’s a brief rundown: Entrench your mind in a Tetris-like zen state, and skittishly zip around maps that are designed less like real places and more like skateparks. You have two goals: Use gun and give death. Despite the immense praise both Wolfenstein and Doom have garnered over the course of this console generation, there may be a feeling over at Bethesda that change is now needed to differentiate these two franchises going forward, and this is exactly the impression I get from playing Wolfenstein: Youngblood.

Last week, Nintendo announced a unique Disney Tsum Tsum Festival Switch hardware bundle for Japan. The dock, Joy-Con, and system itself have all been specially designed. Of course, a copy of Disney Tsum Tsum Festival is included.
Play-Asia has now opened pre-orders for the bundle here. This appears to be Japanese-exclusive given the lack of western announcements. However, the system can be imported and played in any country thanks to Switch being region-free.

Ubisoft has pulled back the curtain on an entirely new Rabbids game for Switch, which could end up being a region exclusive. The game takes some inspiration from Journey to the West, and actually sees the Rabbids winding up in China.
Here’s the first trailer:
The new Rabbids title for Switch will be playable between August 2 and August 5 at ChinaJoy. Given the Chinese influence, it may not release in other territories. Regardless, it’s a savvy move on Ubisoft’s part as Nintendo is working with Tencent to bring Switch to China.

EA comments on Switch support, says most players also own a PS4/Xbox One and often play the publisher’s games on those platforms

Switch continues to sell, but as far as EA support goes, we haven’t seen a whole lot. So far, the FIFA series has ended up along on the platform along with Fe from Zoink and a port of Unravel Two. During a financial call this week, EA commented on its thinking behind Switch support.
According to CEO Andrew Wilson, EA’s internal data indicates “a great many Switch owners also own a PlayStation 4 or an Xbox One or a PC and very often choose to play the games that we make on those platforms even though they have a Switch and they enjoy a lot of great content on the Switch.”
