Switch

Today, Psyonix issued the latest update for Rocket League. The studio is officially calling it version 1.56, but it will display at version 1.1.4 on Switch. 

The full patch notes are as follows:

Gear.Club Unlimited 2

You may recall that Gear.Club Unlimited received new content and features after its launch last year. Its sequel looks to be following a similar path.

Microids has confirmed that additional functionality will be added to the multiplayer mode “in the upcoming weeks.” This includes synchronous races.

We’ll bring you more news about future updates for Gear.Club Unlimited 2 when we have them.

NeoBards Entertainment announced today that it is collaborating with Capcom on the new release of Onimusha: Warlords. The company has been brought in to handle the port.

Onimusha: Warlords on Switch will include high-definition graphics, widescreen support, a new control scheme designed for analog sticks, a new soundtrack, and a “readily available” easy mode option. It will also have new Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese language options.

NeoBards Entertainment previously teamed up with Capcom on Devil May Cry HD Collection.

World of Final Fantasy Maxima

World of Final Fantasy Maxima never received a physical release on Switch – not even in Japan. But early next year, that will be changing.

It’s been confirmed that World of Final Fantasy Maxima will be going physical on Switch over in Asia. Supported languages include English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, French, Italian, German, Spanish.

As we know, Switch is completely region-free. That means importing shouldn’t be an issue. Play-Asia is already taking pre-orders here.

Gear.Club Unlimited 2

Microids has published a launch trailer for Gear.Club Unlimited 2. Have a look at the new video below.

Gear.Club Unlimited 2 launches for Switch tomorrow – December 4.

Here’s a little interesting tidbit about Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu and Pokemon: Let’s Go, Eevee. The two games make use of Yebis 3, post-effects middleware technology created by Silicon Studio.

Silicon Studio says Yebis “is the only post-effects middleware technology in the world that allows you to utilize various effects (such as glare, depth of field, color correction, anti-aliasing, etc.) in post process with live action video or CG real-time visuals.” Meanwhile, Yebis 3 features blur simulation, lens aberration and correction simulation, higher quality depth of field effects, lens dirt, and screen space ambient occlusion.

After it was announced that Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu and Pokemon: Let’s Go, Eevee use the engine, Silicon Studio’s stock rose 17.72% in a single day.

Update (12/3): A number of these games have now “sold out,” but a few titles like New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe and Super Neptunia RPG are even lower than what we listed yesterday.


Original (12/2): A slew of games have been given pre-order discounts over on Amazon. Bayonetta 3, New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, Tales of Vesperia, and Final Fantasy are among the eligible titles.

Below are some of the highlights:

Much like what has recently been sold in North America, Nintendo is now selling a Switch bundle featuring Mario Kart 8 Deluxe in Europe. It includes the console, Neon Red/Neon Blue controllers, and a free full game download code for the game.

Various retailers are selling the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Switch bundle, including the Nintendo UK store. It can be purchased there for £279.99, a saving of £49.99 if purchased separately.
