Gunvolt developer Inti Creates today announced Grim Guardians: Demon Purge, a new gothic horror 2D action platformer. We know that it will be appearing on Switch, but a release window hasn’t been announced.
Here’s what we know thus far:
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe fans may have uncovered specific tracks that are planned as future DLC courses thanks to a new datamine.
In the latest update released for the game which brought about the second wave of courses in the Booster Course Pass, fans noticed that Nintendo left song prefetches to many future DLC courses. Nintendo deleted the full songs of unreleased tracks from the ROM, but accidentally left some of the prefetch files, which are stored separately. Music preview files are used since it can take some time to load a full music file from the ROM and this is played while the full file is being loaded, as pointed out by Twitter user OatmealDome.

Spike Chunsoft has released more details about Made in Abyss: Binary Star Falling into Darkness, this time focusing on the game’s Notebook. This logs information on the original characters, relics, primeval creatures, and more.
Here’s the full rundown:
Premium Edition Games is preparing a physical release for Rack N Ruin on Switch, the company has announced.
The title originally debuted in February 2020. Up until now though, it has only been sold as a digital download on the Switch eShop. This marks for the first time it will be offered physically.
Here Comes Niko! was announced for Switch at the end of December, but wasn’t given a release date. However, Gears for Breakfast and Frog Vibes have now confirmed that it will be available on September 1, 2022.
Here Comes Niko! has been on PC for a full year. The Switch version should contain changes that were implemented in a patch since then.
Fight Crab had a physical release on Switch in Asia, but not in other regions. The good news is that this will be changing soon.
Mastiff, the publisher for Fight Crab in North America and Europe, is now planning a “Shella’ Awesome Edition” for the west. Copies include a copy of the game on the cartridge, a sticker sheet, digital download for the original soundtrack, 11×17” original Ukiyo-e style art print, and dual-sided coversheet print.
The previously-announced Shovel Knight Nendoroid now has a release window plus new photos, and pre-orders have opened.
The figure comes complete with a selection of optional parts including his well-known shovel, a powerful attack effect for combat scenes, and a treasure chest that can be opened and closed. Its height is roughly 100mm and POLY-TOYS is handling the sculpting. Since the figure doesn’t balance on its own, you’re advised to use the included stand.
Original (7/28): Nintendo has set a new release date for the Steve and Minecraft amiibo as part of the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate line. Both figures are slated for September 9, the company announced today.
The Steve and Alex amiibo were originally planned for this past spring. However, Nintendo pushed back their release to later in 2022 in February. A reason for the delay was not provided at the time.
Devolver Digital and Massive Monster issued another trailer for Cult of the Lamb that covers the game’s combat, exploration, and Four Bishops.
Players will explore a randomly generated world, come across different weapons like a sword, axe, and dagger, and use tarot cards that grant abilities. It’s also possible to bring home resources and followers to grow your community. Eventually you’ll take on the Four Bishops: Leshy, Heket, Kalamar, and Shamura.
