Early information out of this week’s Famitsu reveals a Japanese release date for Resident Evil Revelations and Resident Evil Revelations 2 on Switch. Both are slated for November 30.
In the west, Capcom will likely be offering Resident Evil Revelations 1 and 2 at around the same time. The company intends to publish both games at retail under the name Resident Evil Revelations Collection. The first game will be included on a cartridge, but Resident Evil Revelations 2 is a digital download.

Update: As some of you on Twitter have pointed out, you can also see Male Corrin in the bottom right. Thanks for the heads-up!
Original: The next playable character in Fire Emblem Warriors has been revealed via Famitsu, and it’s the final one of the royal siblings from Fire Emblem Fates, Sakura. Her main weapon is a bow, which she could use in Fates if she promoted into a Priestess.
We only have a small preview image of the Famitsu article at the moment, so there aren’t a whole lot of details. Stay tuned for tomorrow, which is when we’ll get our hands on the full issue of Famitsu.
Rhythm game Garu Metal announced for Switch
Posted on 7 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Switch | 2 Comments
The latest issue of Famitsu has announced a new rhythm game coming to Switch: Garu Metal. Combining elements of both music and adventure games, it’s described as “sci-fi, yet juveline” and features “hardcore metal” high school girls”.
Further details are sparse at the moment, but the staff involved in this are worth mentioning. The game’s scenario and supervision comes from Shuuhou Inai, who previously worked on the Tokyo Majin Gakuen series and Mato Kurenai Yuugekitai. The character design is being done by Toshinao Aoki, who has worked on some anime projects like the recent Kimi no Koe wa Todoketai and also did illustrations for some Pokemon TCG cards in the past. The game’s executive producer is the legendary Tak Fujii, who we haven’t heard a whole lot from ever since he left Konami in 2014.
The game will be on display at Tokyo Game Show this year, so expect further details then.

It should go without saying that this information will have some gameplay spoilers so dodge the info below and the video if you want a pure Splatoon 2 experience. However, there is also some information on some scrapped content from the game as well, which could be interesting for those of you that want to know what may have been potentially cut out (but at the same time this stuff could also come back later through another update).
GameXplain has compiled a video of recent dataminers’ findings on Splatoon 2, which you can check out below. Or if you’d like a quick synopsis you can read it below the video.

Nintendo shows the “Hip Drop Jump” move in Super Mario Odyssey
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 10 Comments
Mario can perform all sorts of moves in Super Mario Odyssey. In a new tweet posted on the official Twitter account, Nintendo shows one of these in action. We have a look at the “Hip Drop Jump” move below.
Hip Drop Jump lets you jump into the air after you’ve performed a Ground Pound. Doing so allows you to use momentum to rise higher than you normally can with a standard jump.
Here’s a look at Hip Drop Jump:
