Beyblade X: XONE gets surprise English release on Nintendo Switch
Posted on 4 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
There was a bit of a surprise surrounding Beyblade X: XONE this week, as the game ended up seeing a worldwide release with full English support.
FuRyu originally unveiled the Nintendo Switch game back in May. However, that reveal only indicated that a Japanese launch was happening. So it certainly came as a surprise that as we were browsing the Nintendo eShop, we happened to notice an English version of Beyblade X: XONE. The game can be purchased in both North America and Europe.

Marvelous and Edelweiss just unveiled Sakuna Chronicles: Kokorowa and the Gears of Creation, a new game tying in with Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin. As of now there’s no word on a release window or supported platforms. That said, given the success of Sakuna on Switch, we should be expecting Nintendo support here.
Not much has been said of the project as of now. According to Marvelous, it “is an all-new spin-off story focused on the brilliant Princess Kokorowa, Sakuna’s close friend, who is a high-ranking goddess presiding over wheels and inventions from her heavenly home.” Further details will follow later.

While Xbox did this previously, 2024 marked the year when the company made its biggest push yet regarding releasing its games on other platforms. Nintendo Switch benefited from the approach in the form of Grounded and Pentiment on the console.
Xbox boss Phil Spencer has now briefly weighed in on Microsoft’s approach going forward. In an interview with Bloomberg, while discussing bringing more games to Nintendo and PlayStation, he said that there are no “red lines in our portfolio that say ‘thou must not.'” He added that no decisions have been made about the next Halo given how early in development that game is.
