Alien: Isolation

We now have the official announcement for Alien: Isolation on Switch. It confirms that Feral Interactive is working on the game, and that a couple of features will be included: gyroscopic aiming and HD Rumble.

Here’s the full press release:

At E3 yesterday, Gamespot had the chance to go hands-on with the Link’s Awakening remake. Joined by JC from Nintendo Treehouse, they recorded about 15 minutes of footage, including parts of the first dungeon of the game:

Back in March, the Wall Street Journal reported that Nintendo is planning to two new Switch models this year. The publication has now followed this up with another report on the subject. The WSJ reporter in question is Takashi Mochizuki, who has a pretty good track record when it comes to Nintendo; nonetheless, we’ve tagged this as a rumor – as always, take reports like this with a grain of salt.

Mochizuki says that Nintendo has started shifting part of its Nintendo Switch production from China to Southeast Asia. The reason for that lies in the current trade conflict between China and the US, and by moving production to other countries, Nintendo hopes to limit the impact of possible US tariffs on electronics manufactured in China. Mochizuki’s sources are “people who work on Nintendo’s supply chain”. Those same people are also saying that, other than the current model, production for the two rumored Switch revisions has started in Southeast Asia, suggesting that Nintendo is planning to announce them soon. No specific numbers were given, but supposedly Nintendo plans to produce enough units to sell them in the US.

As for the two new Switch models themselves, Mochizuki reiterated that “one is set to look similar to the current model with beefed-up components, while the other is expected to be a less-expensive model with a new look.”

The upcoming Japanese Splatfest in Splatoon 2, which takes place this weekend, will be food-themed – the question is sweet-and-sour pork with pineapple vs. without pineapple. As always, Nintendo has released a special piece of artwork for the Splatfest featuring Pearl and Marina, which you can see above.
