Don’t expect Minecraft: Bedrock Edition on Switch anytime soon
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Usually when a developer announces that something has been submitted to Nintendo, that tends to mean it’s close to release. Unfortunately, that isn’t the case with the Bedrock Edition for Minecraft on Switch.
It was recently mentioned during an official live stream on Twitch that Bedrock Edition had been submitted to Nintendo. But during another stream a few days ago, it was clarified that Bedrock is “not done” on Nintendo’s console and the team has “quite a ways to go”. Bedrock is also not in final certification.
Switch was originally supposed to receive the new features and content from Bedrock Edition last year. It’s intended to unite all versions of Minecraft, including support for cross-platform play.

BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle is a fighting mashup of four different franchises. BlazBlue, Persona 4 (Arena), Under Night In-Birth, and RWBY are all represented here.
When Cross Tag Battle was initially announced, RWBY’s inclusion was arguably the most surprising inclusion. Producer Toshimichi Mori explained how the collaboration came to be in an interview with GamerHubTV.

SEGA likely teasing some sort of Sonic-related racing game
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
SEGA made several announcements during its Sonic panel at SXSW today. To close out the event, the company teased an entirely different project.
Aside from the teaser below, we don’t have anything to go on. But intuition would tell you that it’s some sort of Sonic-related racing game – especially given past rumors over the past couple of months.
No name or anything else for this one. SEGA only said that it isn’t a sequel to any of the Sonic games released thus far. Hopefully we’ll hear more in the near future.

When Harvest Moon: Light of Hope makes its way to Switch in May, it will do so as the “Special Edition”. But thus far, Natsume has yet to really clarify what makes this version “special”.
We do at least know about one new element. Soleil, revealed this week, will be a new character in Harvest Moon: Light of Hope Special Edition. The actual specifics behind Soleil’s origin are currently unknown.
Natsume should be sharing more on Harvest Moon: Light of Hope Special Edition in the weeks ahead.
