It’s been awhile since we last heard about Telltale’s plans for Switch. Minecraft: Story Mode – The Complete Adventure came out last August, followed by Batman – The Telltale Series in November.
Looking forward to the future, it seems like Minecraft: Story Mode – Season Two will also be making its way to Switch. Though we don’t have an official announcement yet, it was rated for Nintendo’s console by the USK earlier this month. An announcement could be coming soon.
Telltale previously hinted that Minecraft: Story Mode – Season Two would be possible on Switch. Guardians of the Galaxy is also something that we thought would end up on the system, but we don’t have any news on that front just yet.

During a 24-hour live stream today, Arc System Works announced a new project. Wizard’s Symphony is coming to Switch as well as the PlayStation 4 – assuming this isn’t an elaborate April Fools’ Day joke.
Wizard’s Symphony is a dungeon RPG. It’s set in the same world as Wizard’s Harmony, a series that started in 1995 on the SEGA Saturn and PlayStation and featured adventure / simulation elements. More information about Wizard’s Symphony will be included in the April 12 issue of Dengeki PlayStation.

April Fools’ Day can be a tricky thing. Sometimes you aren’t quite sure what is and what isn’t true, but a new announcement made by Nintendo today is apparently being considered the real deal. We’ll let you know if we hear otherwise.
For Splatoon 2, a collaboration with the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC) has been announced. As one part of this, a new Splatfest will be held on April 21. Players will be asked: “Which makes you feel the most wonder? Unknown/undiscovered creatures vs. advanced technology”.

A look at some Pauline concept art in Super Mario Odyssey
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
A soundtrack for Super Mario Odyssey was recently offered in Japan. Aside from including several discs and stickers, it also contained a special booklet with concept art focused on Pauline – see below. We’re also able to get insight into Nintendo’s thinking for the character.
Mayor Pauline usually wears a pants suit. But when she is singing Jump Up, Super Star!, she wears a gorgeous dress which excites the usually cool New Donkers. Pauline is a character with history, so while keeping her original traits intact, Nintendo made a new design for her which fits the world setting of Super Mario Odyssey. The team solidified her image by drawing rough sketches of her various costumes, although they don’t appear in the game.
