Sonic Forces

New Sonic Forces footage was shown during Twitch’s Pre Pre Show at E3 2017. We’re able to get a look at the Classic and Modern Sonic sections as well as custom character. View the recording below.

Last night, Nicalis unveiled a new Switch fighter from developer Studio Saizensen called Blade Strangers. We now have the full announcement about the game that mashes up characters from Code of Princess, Cave Story, and Umihara Kawase, including the confirmation of a Q4 2017 launch. Read it below.

Nicalis’ E3 2017 lineup is in. Believe it or not, everything the publisher intends to showcase is lined up for Switch.

The newly-revealed Blade Strangers will be present, along with The End is Night, and Ittle Dew 2+. We also now know that Tiny Barbarian DX is on the way to Switch.

Tiny Barbarian DX is a mix of 2D platforming action and combo-based hack-and-slash combat with a retro-style pixel art style. Two-player co-op, unlockable game modes, and homages to classic 8- and 16-bit games are included.

We’ve included a trailer for Tiny Barbarian DX below. You can also find the full rundown on Nicalis’ E3 lineup after the break.

With E3 2017 taking place this week, many are counting on more Fire Emblem Warriors news to be unveiled within the next few days. The game’s Japanese Twitter account confirms as much.

A brief message posted today notes that there’s more to share on Fire Emblem Warriors this week. That includes new information about the included heroes.

Fire Emblem Warriors should be appearing in the Nintendo Spotlight: E3 2017 video presentation. Famitsu may have early coverage as well.

Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2

The first bit of Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 footage on Switch was shown during a Nico Nico live stream (hence the lowish quality) hosted by V Jump today. We’ve got the relevant recording below, including a look at motion controls in action.

Thanks to n128 for the tip.
