Following up on today’s debut trailer, we also have a bunch of details and screenshots from Nippon Ichi’s new Switch game Murder Detective: Jack the Ripper. We’ve rounded up everything below, courtesy of Gematsu.

New sales data is in from the UK for the month of January 2019.

New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, a new entrant, charted at #4. While one month sales were up 17% compared to the original Wii U game, Switch had a much higher install base at the time.

Nintendo Switch

Update (2/1): Nintendo also has other unannounced titles for Switch including “one that is a nice fit to the online program.” Further information was not provided.


Original (1/31): During Nintendo’s financial results briefing tonight, the company shared a bit of an interesting tease. The company says it’s preparing at least one unannounced title for Switch that “fans would be delighted to know.” This is planned for the next fiscal year, meaning we won’t be seeing it until April at the earliest.

It goes without saying that there isn’t a whole lot to go on here. Still, it’s interesting that Nintendo would even mention something along those lines. If you’d like to hazard a guess, feel free to do so in the comments below.

It seems like we are finally getting close to the release of Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. Koji Igarashi’s spiritual successor to the Castlevania series has recently been rated by the ESRB. Usually, this means that a game is at least somewhat close to being released as a near-final build had to have been submitted to the ratings board. Bloodstained has received a “T” rating for “Blood, Partial Nudity and Violence”. Here’s the ESRB’s rating summary:

This is an action role-playing game in which players assume the role of Miriam, a cursed orphan who must battle her way through a demon-infested castle. As players traverse side-scrolling environments, they use swords, spears, pistols, and whips to battle fantastical creatures (e.g., harpies; spiked armor; demon-like birds, rodents, dogs) in melee-style combat. In one sequence, players encounter a boss character emerging from a bathtub full of blood; her magic attacks can cause blood to rain down on players and stain the walls and ceilings. Another sequence depicts an impaled corpse, with blood flowing heavily into a large fountain pool. The game also depicts a topless female boss creature (no discernible nipples).

Officially, the current release date for Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is a vague “2019”. In late December last year, Igarashi said that the game’s development “has reached its peak”. Hopefully, a final release date announcement isn’t too far off now.

In last September, we launched Nintendo Switch Online, a paid service that expands the online functionality of Nintendo Switch. Nintendo Switch Online has had a good start, with the number of subscribers surpassing 8 million accounts not including free trials. In keeping with our goal of providing Nintendo Switch owners with “More Games. More Features. More Fun,” we are working on continuing to expand the service offerings.
