Nintendo revealing a new way to play with Switch later today
Posted on 7 years ago by Joshua in News, Switch | 134 Comments
You can see here that Nintendo’s Japanese website has posted something strange.
With the combined power of Google Translate and common sense, below is a translation of the page’s message:
2018.1.18 7:00
On January 18, 2018 [Thursday] we will introduce “New play” using Nintendo Switch at 7:00 on this page.
This was cryptic indeed, until Nintendo UK threw their hats in too. They have a similar page, and it says the following:
10PM UK time
Tune in to discover a new interactive experience for Nintendo Switch that’s specifically crafted for kids and those who are kids at heart.
It seems from the UK’s message that news on the rumored Nintendo Direct is out of the picture. However, something is coming in the next twelve hours. Stay tuned, as we will keep you updated if more information arrives.

The Gal*Gun series is… an interesting one. For those of you who don’t know, you control a male protagonist who has somehow become incredibly popular with every anime girl in sight. Of course, you’re looking for your one true love, so you have to fend off these hordes of women through giving them euphoria by shooting them with your… pheromone gun.
Yep!
Anyway, below is a newly released video for the Switch version. It’s headed to the Switch in spring 2018 for North America and Europe. Enjoy!

Ubisoft will have some Nintendo-related news to share soon. That’s based on a new tweet from one of the company’s employees at the company’s Montreal studio.
Here’s the tweet in question:
Something will happen in some days… please be sure to be ready for that #Nintendo

What’s being teased here could be one of many things. One possibility is some news on Steep, which we assume is still in the works given that Ubisoft hasn’t said anything about a cancellation. This same Ubisoft staffer had said in August that Steep was still happening on Switch.
