Battle Chasers: Nightwar dev made “significant breakthroughs” with Switch, getting closer to release
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 7 Comments
Battle Chasers: Nightwar has been out on a number of platforms for quite some time. Unfortunately, the Switch version has been missing in action. Airship Syndicate had some issues with Unity that have taken awhile to address.
A new Kickstarter post provides an update on the situation, and thankfully, we have good news to report. The team “made some significant breakthroughs” and believes a build will be submitted to Nintendo “very soon.” The actual release will still take a number of weeks though since even after Nintendo has approved it, THQ Nordic’s manufacturing could take six weeks.
Here’s the full update on the status of Battle Chasers: Nightwar for Switch:

Nintendo hosting Zelda: Breath of the Wild live stream on NicoNico on December 12th
Posted on 7 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Switch | 5 Comments
Nintendo has announced that they will be holding a The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild live stream on Japanese video service NicoNico on December 12th at 9PM JST. The main purpose of this stream seems to be a segment called “Player’s Voice”, during which experiences, stories and adventures by players from their time with Breath of the Wild will be shared. Of course, given the timing of this stream, it’s also possible that this will be the first time we get to see the upcoming Champions’ Ballad DLC, which at the moment still has a fairly vague release window of “December”. It’s not a certainty by any means that this live stream will talk about the DLC in any way, but if they do, you will hear about it from us.
