Switch

Dies irae: Amantes amentes is heading to Switch. The announcement was shared during a recent Niconico live stream with Light and Campus last week. An official site also opened today with a September 27 release date.

A popular visual novel, Dies irae has also been given the anime treatment. It finally received an English release last year following a successful Kickstarter campaign.

Octopath Traveler

It’ll be a few days until we have a truly good idea as to how Octopath Traveler is selling in Japan. When Media Create publishes its next report on Wednesday, first week data for the RPG will be revealed.

We do at least have one encouraging tidbit from Square Enix directly. On the official Twitter account, an apology was posted for the game selling out, which is happening during a three-day weekend. Square Enix recommends considering the digital version to fans who are looking for a copy.

Two new clips have arrived for Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu / Eevee. Videos showing a trainer battle and wild encounter can be found below.

Go Vacation

Nintendo opened the official North American website for Go Vacation on Switch this week. You can access it here.

Like most of Nintendo’s sites, there’s plenty of content to take a look at. It houses a trailer, plenty of gameplay details, and more. 

Thanks to Ben C for the tip.

In the game, players will travel across time and space between three different worlds. These include the worlds of Nathan Adams, Natsume Amano, and Shin Shimomachi. Shin is featured in the Yo-kai Watch: Forever Friends movie, which debuts in Japan on December 14.

Yo-kai Watch 4 launches on Switch this winter in Japan.

Kirby Star Allies is getting its next major update on July 27. Daroach, Dark Meta Knight, and the recently-revealed Adeleine & Ribbon will all be added as new Dream Friends.

Level design director Yuki Endo has shared a few words about the inclusion of Adeleine & Ribbon. His comments touch on the characters’ long-awaited return, their abilities, and more. Endo also confirms that Kirby 64 stages will be available after completing the main story with Adeleine & Ribbon, including “a very memorable map at the end which fans may remember”. Endo adds that the update “introduces plenty of new game elements.”

Two new games launched today in the form of Octopath Traveler and the Switch / 3DS versions of Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker. Their respective teams created some special art to celebrate, which we’ve attached above.
