Nintendo UK has opted not to live stream tomorrow’s Nintendo Direct due to “period of national mourning”, the company has said.
Last week, Queen Elizabeth II passed away, and the news has quickly become a worldwide news event. However, it has had the biggest impact in the UK.
XSEED Games announced today that it intends to localize Loop8: Summer of Gods for English fans in the west. In North America and Europe, the game will be launching in Spring 2023.
Loop8: Summer of Gods is a time-travel RPG and a coming-of-age adventure. Read more about it below.
A new Nintendo Direct will air tomorrow, September 13, Nintendo just announced. The presentation will be held at 7 AM PT / 10 AM ET / 3 PM in the UK / 4 PM in Europe.
Nintendo says that the Nintendo Direct will mainly focus on Switch games launching this winter. It’ll be about 40 minutes long.
Back when we published our Sonic Frontiers hands-on preview a few months ago, we noted that the title would include a fishing mini-game. An off-screen video has now surfaced that provides a bit of footage, including a look at Big the Cat who we haven’t seen until now.
It’s assumed that the video was recorded at Gamescom 2022 last month. Sonic Frontiers was playable at an expo for the first time, giving many fans a hands-on opportunity.
This week’s UK software sales are in, with Splatoon 3 topping the chart in its first week.
This marks the first game in the series to hit that mark. Splatoon and Splatoon 2 both debuted at #2. Launch sales for Splatoon 3 actually saw a 9 percent dip compared to the previous title, but keep in mind that digital sales are not factored in here. Splatoon 3 is the 21st best week one on Switch when it comes to games sold (as opposed to revenue), just behind Splatoon 2.
Here’s the latest UK sales chart:

Here is an overview of the character:
Splatoon 3 domestic sales have surpassed 3.45 million units in its first three days on the market, Nintendo has announced. That’s the highest domestic sales level for any Switch game within that timeframe.
Nintendo’s announcement seems to be based on Japanese sales only, so Splatoon 3’s total should be higher than this amount worldwide.
Today’s news is based on Nintendo’s own internal numbers. It includes both packaged and downloadable versions.
It’s time for the latest Famitsu’s most wanted games chart. This week, Tactics Ogre: Reborn makes its first appearance.
Head past the break for the full chart. All votes were cast between August 25 and August 31.
