Team Sonic Racing looks very visually similar on Switch compared to other versions of the game, Digital Foundry reports. There are some differences though, such as how the opening intro is missing on Nintendo’s console – which we mentioned previously.

In the latest episode of the Game Informer show, Marvel Games VP and creative director Bill Rosemann explained the approach to deciding the roster in Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order. Rosemann mentioned a few factors, but emphasized the importance of having characters that fit the gameplay and story.
He explained:

Fans have many dream characters they’d like to see in Super Smash Bros. across all sorts of franchises and mediums. Now that Marvel is getting heavily involved with gaming and even has an exclusive Switch title coming out in the very near future, could we see one of their characters in Nintendo’s fighter?
Game Informer posed that question to Marvel Games’ VP and creative director Bill Rosemann in its podcast last week. Rosemann seemed somewhat interested in idea, but was quick to note that such a decision would not fall in his hands.

GameStop’s internal system adds 21 untitled Switch SKUs
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
With E3 just over a week away, retailers are almost certainly getting their systems prepped for upcoming announcements. Usually once a conference ends and official reveals are made, stores take pre-orders not too long after.
With that in mind, GameStop seems to have given us a (very) rough idea regarding the number of announcements Switch will be seeing within the next few days – from Nintendo and third-parties. 21 SKUs have been added to the retailer’s internal system without names, meaning they will likely be filled in properly around E3. Most are $60, but there are a few oddities like a mystery $200 listing.

Bandai Namco has started bringing over more of its games to Switch, but one Code Vein is one title that’s missing. The post-apocalyptic action-RPG hasn’t been announced for Nintendo’s console as of yet. That doesn’t mean it’s entirely out of the question, however.
In an interview with GameSpot, Code Vein producer Keita Iizuka mentioned that “there might be a possibility down the line” of a Switch port. He told the site:

Minecraft: Story Mode won’t be supported after June 25, players have until then to download the episodes

Since Telltale Games is no more, that puts Minecraft: Story Mode in an unfortunate position. It’s been announced that support for the game is ending after June 25. Moreover, players are advised to download all episodes by that date. Both Switch and Wii U will be impacted.
The messaging is slightly unclear, but it potentially sounds like even if you purchased either season of Minecraft: Story Mode previously, you may be unable to access episodes once the deadline passes. That means the episodes could be permanently removed for everyone later this month.
Here’s the full announcement:
