Soulcalibur VI not currently in development for Switch, but its producer is interested in the system
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 109 Comments
Before Soulcalibur VI was revealed, there were (perhaps unfounded) rumors about a Switch version. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look to be happening. Some had hoped that Bandai Namco could be saving news about a Switch version for January’s Nintendo Direct, but that doesn’t appear to be the case either.
Producer Motohiro Okubo told Metro that Soulcalibur VI isn’t in development for Switch. That’s partially because the project started over three years ago, well before the console existed.

Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 23 Comments
Panic Button has already worked with Bethesda to bring Doom to Switch. Unsurprisingly, the company has been brought back to help out Wolfenstein II on the console as well.
Senior game designer Andreas Öjerfors confirmed the news to Gamereactor. Öjerfors said that Panic Button is now a Switch expert, and given how Doom turned out, Wolfenstein II should end up being a great experience on Nintendo’s console as well.
My Hero Academia: One’s Justice: first English trailer
Posted on 7 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in Switch, Videos | 14 Comments
Following the news that My Hero Academia: One’s Justice is getting a Western release, Bandai Namco UK has released a first English trailer for the game. That said, the trailer still uses Japanese voice acting. We don’t know yet if this is reflective of the full game, or if it’ll feature the English dub, or perhaps if dual audio will be an option. Also, it seems like Bandai Namco hasn’t quite decided on a name for the localized version yet – the trailer calls the game “My Hero Game Project”. We wouldn’t be surprised if the game was called My Hero Academia: One’s Justice in the West anyway though – especially since it was trademarked under that name in Europe.
