Crossbell was once a sleepy little town, but coming back from three years abroad, Lloyd Bannings finds it to be filled with the hustle and bustle more befitting of a larger city. Taking on a new special assignment at the local police department, he finds that a lot has changed since he left to become a detective. With Crossbell growing at a huge pace and the peoples’ faith in the police at an all time low, Lloyd’s assignment at the Special Support Section (SSS for short) couldn’t have come at a more pivotal time. Saving kids from sewers, finding lost pets, and walking old folks home may not be the most lucrative work, but with the media tearing the department down with every news article and many others desperate to see the SSS team fail, one kind of wonders what all is going on behind the scenes, and why people are so keen to see it fall…

As a reminder, Ultra Kaiju Monster Rancher will be digital-only in the west. However, a physical version is planned for Asia that supports English. We have more information about that including pre-orders here.
Rocko was previously announced for Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl, but it turns out that the new DLC character has just been released. Everyone on Switch can claim the content now.

Both will be limited to 6,000 units and will be available as standard and steelbook editions. All copies come with all the current content on their cart, a full-color manual, interior artwork, an exclusive sticker, and trading cards.
Thanks to Digital Foundry, we have a closer look at the technical side of NieR: Automata on Switch that delves into details like frame rate and resolution. Port studio Virtuos, while making some cuts and adjustments, seems to have done an admirable job bringing the title over to Nintendo’s console.
