Nintendo Switch Sports gameplay

New gameplay from Nintendo Switch Sports has surfaced ahead of its release later this month. GameXplain shows off the footage with Soccer Shoot-Out, a full round of 4-on-4 soccer, a round of volleyball, tennis doubles, and more.

For those that haven’t been keeping up with Nintendo Switch Sports, here’s what you need to know about the title:

Metal Max Xeno: Reborn release date

Nearly a year after Metal Max Xeno: Reborn was confirmed for the west, the game has a final release date. PQube announced today that the title will be available in North America and Europe on June 10, 2022.

Metal Max Xeno: Reborn was first announced for Switch in 2019. It then debuted in Japan back in September 2020.

Bayonetta 3

It’s time for the latest Famitsu’s most wanted games chart. This week, Bayonetta 3 is still the top Switch title, but Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is now right behind.

Head past the break for the full chart. All votes were cast between March 24 and March 30.

A new version 1.0.19 update for Prison Architect recently went live on Switch, which is known as The Roundhouse. Two new pre-made prisons have been added: The Lost Prison and Jungle Retreat.

Below are details about each:

Hello Neighbor 2

Although there hasn’t been an official announcement, it’s looking like we’ll be seeing Hello Neighbor 2 on Switch.

A couple of retailer listings popped up this week suggesting that the title will be appearing on Nintendo’s console. Amazon and GameFly both have pages for Switch now.

Live A Live HD-2D

Following the announcement of Live A Live’s HD-2D remake, Japanese magazine Famitsu sat down with original director Takashi Tokita, to talk about the game’s development.

The new Switch version served as the perfect opportunity to re-release the game, something the team tried to do many times over the years. Tokita dove into a number of other topics as well including why the team settled on the HD-2D art style.

Here’s our translation of the excerpt from Famitsu:

advance wars 1 2 reboot camp early access

There’s a bit of an interesting situation taking place with Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp, with one person apparently managing to gain early access.

Those that have been keeping up with the game that the most recent release date was April 8. However, Nintendo ended up pushing the title back indefinitely due to the invasion of Ukraine that has been impacting the world as of late.

The Expansion Pass tier for Nintendo Switch Online kicked off a few months ago, and we’ve seen a number of classic N64 games added to the service since then. Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask, Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, and Banjo-Kazooie are among the included titles. Mario Golf is also following next week.

Nintendo should continue adding more N64 titles to Switch Online throughout 2022. With that said, what would you like to see on there? Let us know in the comments below.
