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.

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.

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.

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.
