Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino recently stated that all future main games from the company would be released for the Nintendo Switch – and it seems like he wasn’t kidding. Yo-kai Watch 4 has been announced in the latest edition of Famitsu, and it will be released exclusively for the Switch. There aren’t a whole lot of details available right now as we don’t have any scans from the actual magazine yet. However, we do know that it’ll be released in 2018 in Japan, and that it will feature characters from the Yo-kai Watch Shadowside anime series.
We will have more info once we get our hands on the actual copy of Famitsu magazine later this week.

Hearthstone for Switch is a topic that seems to come up every so often. Over the past year or so, Blizzard has been asked about the possibility a few times. The responses have varied slightly, but ultimately the answer given is that there aren’t any plans.
Hearthstone game director Ben Brode reiterated as such during an interview at PAX East 2018 this past weekend. After acknowledging that it’s “possible,” Brode quickly added that the team doesn’t “have any plans to do that.” He indicated that fans can play on mobile or tablets despite being a “big fan” of Switch himself.

Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Splatoon 2: Octo Expansion launches sometime this summer. When will it happen exactly? Currently Nintendo has yet to say. However, the German Facebook page for Splatoon may have let the cat out of the bag early.
For a brief while, an image appeared on the Facebook page showing a release date of July 13. Nintendo took down the image shortly after fans took notice.
The question is, was this a mistake or an accidental announcement? We do know that the new Pearl and Marina amiibo are due for July 13, so having the Octo Expansion ready on the same day might make sense. Note that nothing is officially confirmed at this time.
