Bandai Namco has finally provided an update on Dark Souls: Remastered. The game, along with the Solaire of Astora amiibo, will now launch October 19.
Dark Souls: Remastered was originally scheduled to hit Switch on May 25. That didn’t happen, and Bandai Namco said we’d be seeing it this summer instead. It goes without saying that this new window was unfortunately not met, as Dark Souls: Remastered will now release this fall.

Posted on 7 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Octopath Traveler has been a huge success for Square Enix and Nintendo around the world, selling over one million copies despite facing continuing stock issues. Famitsu Magazine has done something rather unusual today – the prestigious Japanese gaming publication has put up a questionnaire about the game on their website – in English. They specifically want to hear from overseas fans about their experience with the game. The questions are about your party composition, how you liked each individual story and so on. Select answers will be featured in a future article in Famitsu. You can find the questionnaire here.

Amazon UK listing a bunch of Switch placeholders
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Amazon UK is listing several placeholders for Switch – though it’s unclear how long they’ve been present on the retailer’s website.
A quick search of the placeholders can be found here. Some are a bit questionable, as a couple have the Pokemon logo while another features the Smash Bros. Ultimate boxart.
Often these placeholders point to an upcoming event like a Nintendo Direct, but we’re not entirely sure if that’s the case here. Again, no one has been able to pinpoint how long they’ve been on Amazon UK thus far. There are a couple of possible errors as well with the Pokemon and Smash Bros. pages. Still, Gamescom is just on the horizon, and you never know when a Nintendo Direct will be taking place.
Thanks to Jake for the tip.
