All sorts of crazy shenanigans can happen in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Tristan Cooper captured one such amazing moment, in which a Guardian and Stone Talus duke it out. As you’ll see below, the Guardian couldn’t stand up to its foe in the end.

The team behind Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night has made it official: the game is heading to Switch. Additionally, plans for the Wii U version have been cancelled. News about a Switch version of Bloodstained first emerged earlier this month.

In a Kickstarter update, it’s noted that “the situation has drastically changed after the release of Nintendo Switch.” It made sense to include Wii U during the campaign as Switch wasn’t in the picture at all, but that’s no longer so. “This change made it difficult to receive the necessary support from the hardware maker, which has led us to drop the Wii U development and shift the development to Nintendo Switch,” the Kickstarter update reads.

Those who supported Bloodstained on Kickstarter can change their backer survey platform from Wii U to Switch or any other version. A refund should also be possible under most circumstances.

Read the full Kickstarter notice about Bloodstained on Switch below.

Piggyback prepared three guides for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Two launched alongside the game, but the extra special one – the Deluxe Edition – was last planned for release at the end of next week. Unfortunately, it’s now been delayed slightly.

Piggyback wrote on Twitter that fans have been showing an “extraordinary” response to the final guide. The first print run has been doubled and a second printing is planned, resulting in a delay. April 11 is the new date.

A statement Piggyback shared on Twitter reads:

“A sincere thank you everyone who ordered the deluxe edition to the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild guide. The response from fans has been so extraordinary, we have doubled our first print run! Because these books are handcrafted, the increase will slightly delay production. To ensure every fan around the world gets to enjoy it at the same time, it was necessary to push back the release date slightly to 11 April. If you missed out on this first round, don’t worry! We have already begun planning a second printing of the deluxe edition. We can’t wait to share this beautifully crafted book with you and know you will find it an invaluable companion on your journey through Hyrule!”
