A pair of new Switch games appear to be bound for Switch from CokeM Interactive. Both could be out in October.
GameFly and GameStop both list Cartoon Network: Battle Crashers, which previously came to other platforms such as 3DS. The two retailers also suggest that Monster Jam Crush It is planned for Switch.
GameFly often tends to be accurate with its listings, so we’re inclined to believe these are accurate.

Warner Bros. has announced The LEGO Ninjago Movie Video Game, and it’s planned for Switch.
Here’s what we know:
In the game, players battle their way through waves of enemies with honor and skill as their favorite ninjas Lloyd, Nya, Jay, Kai, Cole, Zane and Master Wu to defend their home island of Ninjago from the evil Lord Garmadon and his Shark Army. To do so, they must master the art of Ninjagility which allows them to traverse Ninjago by wall-running, high-jumping and battling the foes of Ninjago to rank up and upgrade the ninja’s combat skills. Players can harness the power of Spinjitzu combat to defend Ninjago together.
The game features eight large, action-packed locations based on the story of The LEGO NINJAGO Movie. Each location includes its own unique Challenge Dojo where players can put their combat skills to the test and battle with increasingly tougher enemies. And with Battle Maps, players can go up against their friends and family in four different game modes, with competitive split-screen local gameplay for up to four players.
The LEGO Ninjago Movie Video Game launches on September 22 in North America and October 6 in Europe. Watch a trailer below.

Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 11 Comments
Nights of Azure 2: Bride of the New Moon will launch in the west this October, Koei Tecmo announced today. The game was originally announced for Japan and is set to arrive on August 31.
Here’s an overview:
Nights of Azure 2: Bride of the New Moon takes place in a fictional, demon-ridden Western European city towards the end of the 19th century. The story focuses on a knight protector named Alushe and her two childhood friends – Liliana, a kind-hearted priestess, and Ruhenheid, a holy knight of the Lourdes Order. While guarding Liliana, Alushe is ambushed and killed only to later awaken as an artificial half-demon at the hands of the New Curia, a religious organization with dark ties. In the company of a variety of unlikely allies with their own pasts and agendas, Alushe’s strong desire to save Liliana gives her the strength to scatter the shadows shrouding the world and motivation to uncover the shocking truth behind the mysterious Queen of the Moon.
And a trailer:

Posted on 6 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Switch | 4 Comments
The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+ on Switch has somewhat of a troubled history with regards to its European release, which has suffered several delays. Back in April, publisher Headup Games announced that the game would launch in Europe (and Australia) in Q2 2017 – but since Q2 is ending tomorrow, that clearly isn’t happening. However, it seems like we may finally have a concrete release date now – Just For Games, who are involved with the distribution of the game in Europe, sent out a tweet announcing that manufacturing of the physical version has started and that the game would launch on September 14th.

The penultimate blog post from Nintendo counting down to the release of DLC Pack 1 for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is now live. This post talks about how Majora’s Mask was added to DLC Pack 1 and what the mask does in game when Link has it equipped.
Hello, I’m Aonuma, producer of The Legend of Zelda™: Breath of the Wild.
DLC pack 1, The Master Trials will finally be released tomorrow, and today, I’m going to introduce you the final piece of equipment, Majora’s Mask. (This DLC is available only through the purchase of the Expansion Pass. Full version of the game is required to use this DLC.)
The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask was originally released for Nintendo 64™, and the remake was released for Nintendo 3DS™. Majora’s Mask is the scary, cursed mask mentioned in the game’s title.
When the development team started discussing including armor items associated with previous The Legend of Zelda games, I was the first one to speak up: “Please add Majora’s Mask!”
