Hakoniwa Bokujou Hitsuji Mura

Today, Success Corporation announced that it’s developing Hakoniwa Bokujou Hitsuji Mura for Switch. A release is planned for November 10, 2022 in Japan.

Cursed to Golf trailer

Thunderful and Chuhai Labs have prepared a launch trailer for Cursed to Golf, their new golf-like adventure title. The game lands on Switch today.

Labyrinth of Zangetsu English

Original (8/16): According to various retailer listings, Labyrinth of Zangetsu will be receiving an English release in the west. PQube will be localizing the game and it will launch in North America and Europe in Q1 2023.

Labyrinth of Zangetsu was first announced for Switch in January 2021. The game will make its debut this September in Japan. 

Nintendo intends to make the Switch box size smaller by 20 percent, the company has confirmed.

The change will take place starting with production this month, and is targeted at the original model that first launched in 2017. In doing so, Nintendo hopes to improve transportation efficiency and increase supply for the year-end sales season, just in time for the holidays. Nintendo will also be taking advantage more of air freight.

With Nintendo reducing the size of the Switch box, packaging materials will also be cut down by 15 percent. The move also aims to appeal to consumers who are highly conscious of preserving the environment.
