Switch

This week’s issue of Famitsu confirmed that Steins;Gate Elite is coming to Switch. Following up on that, the magazine posted an interview with Chiyomaru Shikura from 5pb.

At one point, Switch was brought up. Shikura didn’t have much to say about this version for one simple reason. 5pb. doesn’t intend to make any version different, meaning Steins;Gate Elite on Switch will be exactly the same as the PlayStation releases. All versions will be equal across Switch, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation Vita.

XSEED Games has provided new details about the physical version of Shantae: Half-Genie Hero coming to Switch.

First, the recently-released Pirate Queen’s Quest DLC will be included. It’s here where you can play as Risky Boots in a brand new storyline.

We’ve already posted file sizes for two Switch games today, so let’s throw another one into the mix. According to Nintendo’s UK website, FIFA 18 is 14301.53MB. In other words, it’s just over 14GB.

Comparing that amount to NBA 2K18, another recent sports game for Switch, the initial download was 6.8GB. However, an additional software update for 2K Sports’ game takes up 16.1GB. NBA 2K18 save files also eat up 5GB.

Currently we’re only aware of the single, initial download for FIFA 18, which is the aforementioned 14GB. If we hear anything else, we’ll let you know.

The big Together Update has started to roll out across various platforms today. However, the wait for its release on Switch will be a bit longer. Right now, the plan is to have it ready this winter.

Mojang wrote in a blog post:

We’re still working on getting this new version of Minecraft ready for players on Nintendo Switch. We want to make sure that everything is ready to bring this platform onboard, and there’s a lot of work to do to make that happen. After all, no one has ever done anything like this before in the history of gaming. We expect to be ready with the free Better Together Update on Switch this winter.

The Better Together update lets players experience Minecraft together regardless of the platform you’re playing on. You can also access user-made content on Marketplace, adds new content, and more.

Below is a trailer for the Better Together update for Minecraft:
