Switch

In May 2018, Nintendo filed a patent for a standalone Switch Joy-Con, which features images of an updated controller design. It was then officially registered in April 2020.

As pointed out by VGC, the Joy-Con from the patent doesn’t have connectors to attach the controller to the Switch console. The patent describes this as a “new design”.

It’s unclear what Nintendo’s plans are for the Joy-Con patent. The company could choose to produce an actual product in the future, though only time will tell if that actually happens.

Super Mario 3D All-Stars

Super Mario 3D All-Stars appears to be a hot commodity. Even though the collection isn’t actually out yet, it’s already the second best-selling game on Amazon. Only Animal Crossing: New Horizons has sold more.

Here’s a look at the top ten:

This month’s EDGE review scores are as follows:

Streets of Rage 4

Dotemu, Lizardcube, and Guard Crush Games have announced a massive new patch for Streets of Rage 4. It includes “almost 80 updates, bug fixes and balance changes to the game, all of which were tested by the community itself.”

Below are the full patch notes:

A Japanese TV commercial has been released by Nintendo for the Super Mario Bros. 35th Anniversary. This 30-second commercial shows many of the games already released on the Switch, such as Mario Kart 8, Mario Odyssey, and New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe. 

Check out the full TV commercial below.

Pikmin 3 Deluxe

It’s time for the latest Famitsu’s most wanted games chart. This week, Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 moves down a spot, but Bravely Default II and Bayonetta 3 are back in the top five. Pikmin 3 Deluxe also makes its first appearance.

Head past the break for the full chart. All votes were cast between August 20 and August 26.

Blade Runner: Enhanced Edition

The point-and-click adventure game Blade Runner is making a comeback on Switch with an Enhanced Edition, and Nightdive Studios just issued a new trailer showing how the cinematics have been updated. View it below.

Blade Runner: Enhanced Edition was last said to be on track for a 2020 launch.

Ion Fury

3D Realms and Voidpoint aren’t finished with the first-person shooter Ion Fury. Today, it was announced that a new expansion is in the works.

We unfortunately don’t have much in the way of information at present. A 2021 launch is confirmed, and not much else.

Here’s a trailer accompanying the news:

Jump Force Deluxe Edition

System: Switch
Release date: August 28, 2020
Developer: Spike Chunsoft
Publisher: Bandai Namco


Having initially released in 2019 on other platforms, Jump Force would have been one of Bandai Namco’s last games that I figured would get ported to the Switch. Given its massive and almost realistic approach to anime characters that had conflicting art styles, when it was announced one had to wonder how a game with the graphics, intensity, and speed would even be able to properly run. Jump Force also initially felt like a step back from the previous celebration of iconic anime franchises in J-Stars Victory VS, as Jump Force not only had a smaller roster at launch, but from fewer franchises represented. Despite this, however, over a year and a half later, Jump Force Deluxe Edition on Switch brings with it the entire character roster including plenty of DLC for one unified package.
