German retailer CoolShop is listing 88 Heroes for Switch – (blurry) boxart included. A similar listing has also popped up on Amazon France with a tentative September 29 release date.
88 Heroes was created by Bitmap Bureau and published by Rising Star Games earlier this year. It’s “a chaotic 2D platformer that is as fun to watch as it is to play, where each level completed or untimely death brings a new uniquely skilled hero into the action.” You’ll have only 88 minutes to complete all 88 levels.
Additional details and a trailer for 88 Heroes are below.

Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 15 Comments
Most versions of Minecraft are getting the big “Better Together” update later this year, including Switch. One of the main highlights is that players on different platforms will be able to join up together online. That means, for example, someone on Switch could play with another person using an Xbox One.
An in-depth FAQ was posted to the Minecraft site today explaining the update in detail. It really covers everything you need to know about what’s to come. Head past the break for the various questions and answers.
Rumor: Sonic Forces Day One Edition to feature avatar costumes from Jet Set Radio, NiGHTS, more
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Switch | 18 Comments
A pair of interesting retailer listings have been spotted that may point to a possible “Day One Edition” for Sonic Forces.
Amazon Spain and XtraLife both list the release, though there’s an important caveat here. Neither store has the Sonic Forces Day One Edition for Switch – only PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. However, we did come across a listing from Game Mania in the Netherlands that does list it for Nintendo’s console.

Splatoon 2: New “Twilight Zone” stage to be available only during the Splatfest
Posted on 6 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Switch | 3 Comments
Update: Name for this new stage in English is “Shifty Station”.
Original: Splatoon 2’s first Splatfest is this weekend and it seems like it’ll be something special: a new stage called “Twilight Zone” will be available during it, alongside some of the regular stages. At the moment, it seems like this stage will only be playable while the Splatfest lasts and won’t be added to the regular map rotation afterwards.

Limited Run says its Switch releases are on hold due to success of other games and reprints
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 43 Comments
Limited Run Games puts out physical versions of smaller games that normally wouldn’t receive a retail release. Digital games, niche titles, and others along those lines are given an opportunity to be purchased by collectors.
Originally, Limited Run wanted to have its first Switch release ready sometime this summer. But those plans changed after Nintendo decided to focus on publishers involved with bigger print runs.
