Natsume has announced that the Switch version of Harvest Moon: Light of Hope is planned for early 2018 on Switch. The game will cost $30 on Steam, so we’re expecting a somewhat similar price on Nintendo’s console. Also, a physical version is once again confirmed.

Find some additional information about Harvest Moon: Light of Hope below. We have new screenshots in the gallery as well.

A number of outlets were recently able to go hands-on with Gear.Club Unlimited, including IGN. Find some details from their report below.

Update (10/25): Koizumi relayed many of the same points made to Famitsu as he did with 4Gamer. Also mentioned is that we can look forward to more than just Nintendo’s traditional IPs on Switch.


Original (10/23): 4Gamer published a new interview today with Super Mario Odyssey producer Yoshiaki Koizumi. It was mainly about that game as you would expect, but the piece also contained some talk about the Switch in general. It’s worth noting that Koizumi was the overall general producer of the Switch hardware.

Towards the end of its interview, 4Gamer brought up how Switch is getting a number of big games at a steady pace in its first year. The site almost feels like Nintendo compressed a five-year console cycle into just one year.

Famitsu has posted the first screenshots and art of World End Syndrome, the new love adventure game from Arc System Works and Toybox Games. View the images below.
