Back in January, Neo Atlas 1469 was announced for Switch. We heard that Artdink would be releasing the simulation and exploration title in Japan on April 19.

Fortunately, Neo Atlas 1469 will be distributed in other regions as well. A listing on the European eShop reveals that a western release is planned. It’s likely digital-only, but the overseas launch appears to also be on track for April 19.

Here’s the first English trailer and an overview:

Best Buy has a significant discount on Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle this week. The game started out at $59.99, but is now down to $29.99. If you’re a Gamers Club Unlocked member, the price further drops to $23.99. Place an order here if interested.

Saber Interactive finally provided an update on Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn last month. The game is scheduled for this spring, and will be receiving a physical version from Wired Productions.

Shaq Fu will continue the tradition of Switch versions costing $10 more than its console counterparts. If you plan on picking up a copy at retail on Nintendo’s console, it’ll cost $39.99, according to Amazon’s listing (pre-orders are now open here by the way). The PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions are listed for $29.99.

The latest Japanese Splatfest in Splatoon 2 is over. After a day of battles, Nintendo has posted the results.

The new Splatfest had flowers going up against dangos (a Japanese dumpling). You can read about the significance of this in Japan here.

We’ve seen many close Splatfests in the past, and that was once again the case here. Despite losing in popularity, Team Flower squeaked by with a 2-1 win thanks to wins in solo and team battles.
