FIFA 20 coming to Switch as a “Legacy Edition”
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
EA officially announced FIFA 20 today, the latest entry in its long-running sports franchise. The game will indeed be coming to Switch, but with a bit of a caveat.
According to EA’s website, Switch will be getting a “Legacy Edition” of FIFA 20. What this means exactly is unclear. One possible guess is that this will be a much more modest version of FIFA 20 compared to the main game on other platforms. Rather than packing in all of the new features functionality from the primary version, the Switch release might be closer to a roster update. In any case, we’ll need EA to clarify the details.
FIFA 20 Legacy Edition launches for Switch on September 27.

Amazon UK has opened pre-orders for the Kill la Kill: IF Collector’s Edition. If interested, you can reserve it here.
Arc System Works has been a bit quiet regarding if and how it will distribute the collector’s edition in North America. However, you should be able to place an order on Amazon UK even if you’re from the US despite what the listing says. We were able to add it to our cart and place an order successfully.
The Kill la Kill: IF Collector’s Edition includes the game, an original art book, soundtrack with 21 songs, and Mak-Roquette Squeezie ball-chain.
Suda51 interested in possible No More Heroes and Killer7 crossover, as well as a “Suda-universe”
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Switch | 0 comments
Suda51 recently stopped by MomoCon and hosted an hour-long panel. Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes was discussed in-depth, and it was announced that the game is making its way to new platforms – although that isn’t really relevant here.
What is relevant is that Suda51 also touched on an interesting topic during the panel. We won’t discuss this in-depth here in case we’re encroaching on territory that some feel would be spoiler-related, but something happens in Travis Strikes Again that will be of interest to Killer7 fans. And according to Suda51, what was shown in that game is canon.
