Switch

Bandai Namco has confirmed new details surrounding Super Robot Wars V’s release — including that the game will launch on October 3rd in Southeast Asia as well.

This will be the same day as the Japanese release, however, it has been confirmed that the game will also feature English subtitles. Previous DLC present on other versions of the game will come already installed on the new Switch version.

New screenshots for the game can be viewed below.

Another development blog has been added to PlatinumGames’ website, this time focusing on the game’s music. Satoshi Igarashi has been introduced as the game’s lead composer, and we have confirmation that three vocal tracks will be included.

Here’s the full blog:

As mentioned earlier today, Disney Tsum Tsum Festival is due out in Japan on October 10. Alongside the game’s launch, a special Switch bundle will be offered.

The package includes a Switch system in addition to a copy of Disney Tsum Tsum Festival plus a code for DLC costumes in the actual game. Both the dock and Joy-Con have been specially-made (the home button is even stylized after Mickey Mouse), and the Switch itself will have a design on the back. Note that this will be the updated model with the longer battery life.

Raw Fury has shared a new trailer for the Bad North: Jotunn Edition update, which is coming soon to Switch. View it below.

Nintendo has shared anew Dragon Quest Builders 2 video with producers Noriyoshi Fujimoto and Takuma Shiraishi. Below, the two developers touch on three things you might not have known.

Yesterday we heard that Nintendo would start to offer free repairs for faulty Joy-Con. This all came about after numerous complaints regarding drifting controllers, in which they would sent input to the console on their own. A lawsuit was also filed. Unfortunately, the free Joy-Con replacement policy doesn’t appear to be in effect worldwide – at least not yet.

The first example of this is in France. Numerama attempted to reach out to Nintendo’s customer service, and they denied having adopted a free Joy-Con replacement policy. French support claims it will still cost a customer €45 to replace a controller out of warranty.

Like other Fire Emblem games, Three Houses will include a few different difficulty levels and settings. Lunatic won’t be available right away, but it’s confirmed that it’ll be coming later on.

Genki Yokota, the director for Fire Emblem: Three Houses at Nintendo, shared the news in an interview with Famitsu this week. Players will be able to access the Lunatic difficulty following a free patch shortly after launch. This will provide an extra challenge for experienced players. He said, “please wait just a little bit [for the update].”

We’re currently working on a full translation of Famitsu’s interview, so stay tuned.
