Arc System Works has released some information on Cube Creator X for the Switch via their Japanese website; the folks at Gematsu have kindly translated this new info:

Gameplay modes

Essentially, there will be three distinct modes in the game: Adventure Mode, which features a variety of gameplay elements including exploration, combat and communication, Creative Mode, where you can build up an original world at your own pace and Stage Builder Mode, in which you can use gimmick cubes to create unique stages.

Home World

Home World is a new addition to Adventure Mode in this game. It is a sort of hub world from which you can travel to other worlds. There are no enemies here, so you freely customize it, have conversations with citizens, buy items and more.

Evolved Systems

There are three times as many cube types in this game compared to Cube Creator 3D. Also, systems such as height, weight, heat and weather have been added.

Avatar Customization

Avatar customization has been improved and offers more options than ever before, so you can easily create an avatar that suits you.

Finally, there’s also a first gameplay video to be found on the game’s website, sadly without sound though:

SteamWorld Dig 2

SteamWorld Dig 2 could be getting a physical release soon. The game was rated by the USK last month, and the new classification was just added this week.

Rising Star Games is listed as SteamWorld Dig’s 2’s publisher. That tells us that a physical release is likely in the cards. A little over a year ago, Rising Star brought the SteamWorld Collection to Wii U at retail. Image & Form has also previously said that SteamWorld Dig 2 could be offered physically.

When the first two Bayonetta games were announced for Switch at The Game Awards, we heard that some new features are planned for Bayonetta 2. Tag Climax will now let you play locally (in addition to online), and amiibo will be supported.

Nintendo UK’s website reveals how amiibo functionality will be incorporated into Bayonetta 2. Tapping a compatible amiibo will “instantly unlock a number of Nintendo-themed costumes for Bayonetta to wear, weapons to use and more”. Costumes can still be unlocked normally as you progress through the game.

PlatinumGames originally created these Nintendo costumes for the Wii U release. You can unlock outfits based on Link, Princess Peach, Daisy, Samus, and Fox McCloud.

Thanks to Christopher for the tip.
