Very little is known about the next mainline Sonic the Hedgehog game, which was teased during a Sonic Central broadcast in May. It showed the Blue Blur running in a forest – and that’s pretty much it. We don’t even have a confirmed title at present.

When asked about the new project in an interview with Game Informer, Sonic Team boss Takashi Iizuka said:

Clouded Leopard Entertainment has released a trailer for the new Switch versions of The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel I and II. Find today’s video below.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel I launches in Japan and Asia on July 8, followed by The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II on August 5. There are currently no plans for an English release.

Nintendo Switch

Right before E3, the rumor mill was swirling with the possibility of Nintendo potentially announcing an upgraded Switch model. Bloomberg in particular has published a few reports regarding a 7-inch OLED device that is capable of a 4K docked resolution. The site has reason to believe that it will be out later this year.

In an interview with The Washington Post, Nintendo of America president Doug Bowser weighed in on the company’s approach to releasing new hardware. As part of that, he indicated that announcements will be made only when the time is right.

Bowser said:

Below are the official patch notes:

Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow

During the Game Boy Advance era, Konami released a few different mainline Castlevania games. Circle of the Moon, Harmony of Dissonance, and Aria of Sorrow all debuted on the portable.

Could these titles be returning, potentially? A rating in Australia at least hints at the possibility.

Today, an official classification for Castlevania Advance Collection surfaced:

Koei Tecmo is letting fans try out Samurai Warriors 5 with a new demo. The trial went up on the Japanese Switch eShop, and will likely be made available in the west in the near future.

Here’s some footage:

Bayonetta 3

We’re quickly closing in on the four year anniversary of Bayonetta 3’s announcement. The game was announced at The Game Awards 2017, but we haven’t seen it since. While PlatinumGames has regularly assured fans of the project’s continued development, that hasn’t stopped fans from speculating about its status.

Nintendo did at least provide a brief update this week. In an interview with GameSpot, Nintendo Treehouse’s Nate Bihldorff said that Bayonetta 3 “still exists.” Bill Trinen of Nintendo Treehouse added, “I will even go one further and say not only does it exist, but it’s progressing well.”
