As we know, Runbow is heading to another console next year. 13AM Games’ Wii U classic will be on Switch towards the start of 2018.

A listing on Amazon Spain indicates that we’ll be seeing a physical version of Runbow courtesy of Merge Games. The page states that the Satura’s Space Adventure DLC, a pack of four suits, and soundtrack volumes 1 and 2 will be included.

Runbow’s physical version is listed for a March 31 release, but that’s just tentative.

Super Mario Odyssey is all about jumping. Yet despite that, one person has managed to complete the experience without that action – at least according to what the game classifies as such.

Super Mario Odyssey has an interesting definition of jumping. Capturing the necessary enemies for completion and then using any of the “jumping” actions doesn’t actually increase the official counter. Likewise, Super Mario Odyssey only classifies some actions as jumps, such as standard jumps, double jumps, and triple jumps. Everything required for the “Y” button is legal, for example, and going up in the air by bouncing off of Cappy’s hat is fine.

Based on what Super Mario Odyssey says is and isn’t a jump, Gamechamp3000 set out on a mission to see if you could complete the game. The results: it’s possible to finish without jumping, technically. There were bumps along the way, but Gamechamp3000 managed to do it. You can see how it all played out in the video below.

The Count Lucanor landed on Switch a few months ago. However, the game has only been sold digitally on the eShop.

Those who have expressed interest in a physical copy of The Count Lucanor may soon have their voices heard. Over on Amazon Spain, a listing for the game has popped up. You’ll receive a cartridge and an “exclusive” manual with a purchase.

Amazon Spain lists a tentative January 31 release date for The Count Lucanor’s physical Switch version.

Thanks to Axel for the tip.

Last week, Nintendo surprised everyone at The Game Awards with a trio of Bayonetta announcements. The original two games are bound for Switch, along with the entirely new Bayonetta 3.

Amazon Japan shows tentative the file size for Bayonetta 2. The game apparently takes up about 12.4GB, which would be a little bit smaller than Wii U’s 14GB. If this size changes, we’ll let you know.

Thanks to m_t for the tip.

Update: And it’s already gone! This has indeed been selling out quickly.

Original: Amazon France has opened pre-orders for the Bayonetta 2 Special Edition. You can reserve it here. Note that this sold out on Amazon UK rather quickly, so keep that in mind.

Also, you should be able to place an order from the US despite the page saying otherwise. It worked for us at the very least.

Thanks to Axel for the tip.

Square Enix has been one of the strongest supporters of Switch in the console’s early lifecycle. Between what’s already out and what’s on the way, the company has a whole lot of love for the platform. Project Octopath Traveler, Dragon Quest XI, Dragon Quest Builders 1 and 2, and Lost Sphear are just a few of the highlights.

There’s a reason why Square Enix is supporting Switch in this way so far. Speaking with MCV, CEO Yosuke Matsuda said that the system “is a very attractive and platform for us.” He also said that Switch is “a unique piece of hardware.”

Square Enix isn’t just about producing new games. The company has expressed interest in revisiting other titles and putting them on the latest consoles, including Switch.

In an interview with MCV, Square Enix CEO Yosuke Matsuda commented on this subject. Instead of merely porting these older games as they were back then, they need to be modernized.
